ORNo...I am not going to talk about having a boy or girl for a next child, rather, my question is rather controversial for most parents; will you let your 3 or 4 year old boy a) dress up in a tutu and ballet shoes in school OR b) play with a toy gun during pretend playI believe almost all Singaporean parents will select option b. Most parents will probably freak out if they …

Is one enough? Been thinking about having a little sister (hopefully) for Kyle. Not really planning to have another child immediately, as it will be too much of a challenge for me now to manage taking care of Kyle, my studies, working part time in church and spending time with hubby. Cannot imagine myself doing all of that while having a baby bump at the same time. Especially …

I am citing from the theory of multiple intelligences by Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University (1983).

Why do I spend some days browsing through other people's blog to read about what goes on in their lives? I am just one of the many voyeurs (in the non-sexual sense) out there who are interested to watch what goes on in other people's lives through their blogs. Blogs do appeal to the voyeuristic nature of humans to peek into the lives of others; to relish in the drama of life, …
