A Turning Point - Mrs Singapore Queen of Hope 2010

It has been an eventful journey... After getting to know Genecia Luo, now my personal pageant trainer, my life has been taking a new turn :) Joining Mrs Singapore 2010 has never crossed my mind before... and here i am on stage with other finalists, performing to "Nobody Nobody But You". All jittery and nervous, I thank God I pulled off the dance without much mistakes. It's a good thing I have my ballet background to fall back on...





The show went on with much highlights and my stomach's butterflies continued fluttering around. Results came out and I was awarded the Best Supportive Family Award by sponsor, Sappore Italiano's boss, Mr Nirmal.

I have my hubby and children to thank for this :)


Another greater surprise for that night was the Mrs Singapore Queen of Hope 2010 crown. When it was placed on me, i had to close my eyes for a moment, to allow reality to sink in... Wow... I am now Mrs Singapore Queen of Hope 2010!













I am very grateful to all who came to support me... My friends...









My buddies who helped me throughout the preparation...










and my loving husband who was so understanding and gracious towards me.


Thanks to all who voted, screamed, prayed and stood by me. I love you!

Baby Steps

Phew! Catching my breath in the midst of work. What an adventure it has been for City News. We gained some precious experiences at some nation-wide and international events over the past months. Below are some of them...

INTERVIEW WITH SINGAPORE'S NUMBER ONE IDOL - JJ LIN

Met with VANNESS WU, the international pop star. See the City News Team smiling from ear to ear :D

Mrs Singapore World Finalists 2009 organized a Tea Party with some underpriviledged children. City News was present to spread the cheer!






These are Miss Singapore Earth finalists parading on stage... Getting ready for the announcement of results!







Singapore SMEs investing in the development of an eco-park in Hangzhou, China. City News was present to provide media coverage for this first time collaboration between Singapore's private companies and China.



City News has branched out into video reporting recently too. It's an exciting step for us... Can't wait to see how it will develop!

Perhaps... Just perhaps we will start dreaming of moving from internet to print! Keep your fingers crossed with me!

The Beginning of City News

These few months have been quite an experience... Started a news media company online with a small team of volunteers!

It began with a conversation I had with one of my mentors. I was challenged to do more, especially in the area of media. Yes it's true, to wake up to depressing news of floods, bombs, building crashes, disasters can be a pretty negative start to a day. But how many times do we begin the day with good news? I believe there are good reports and celebrational-worthy events in our world that deserves more attention.

Inspired, an online news portal was started, to give atention to news that has been marginalized. www.citynews.sg became my baby project these few months. Pardon the lack of updates! I'll be back very soon... to bring some GOOD NEWS!

Birthday video

A friend of mine did a video for my children's birthday party. It was such a sweet gesture :) It's the best "birthday appreciation gift" to me. The video captured some moments of my prince & princess' growing up...Hope you enjoy this as much as i did!



Thank you my friend! ;)

An outing to Singapore Science Centre! Enjoy the pictures!

Recently, someone commented that my blog should be changed to a "children's blog" because almost all posts are children-related/linked/concerned etc. Haha! I looked through my entries and saw that it was quite true! Well...my life is closely knitted with my children, that's why...

My blog = My children's blog :p

Yet another entry on my lovely children and their cousins!
This time, we were off to the airport for a Mother's Day lunch cum "Send-the-daddies-off" outing!

The children saw the trolley and couldn't resist going for a ride on it!
See the kids' pose - They were born for the cameras!

Me & Daddy with the kids! Goodbye Daddy, come back soon!

My Godson Samuel is celebrating his birthday!! How time flies!

This year, Samuel's mummy brought Samuel & the children to take the Duck Tour. Jeri & Kymmy had such fun with the duck-whistles. Check out the pics below...

Even my Chyanne was amused by the duck-whistle!
Daryl:"Huff-puff! Me gonna blow the roof off!"
A very happy birthday to Samuel! May you grow taller & stronger each year!
