Redemption of Home Loan in Singapore

I can still clearly remember when we got our Permanent Resident application approval in September 2004. I was heavily pregnant then with Ira, who was due to come out in two months. When we went to get our Permanent Residency documents and our IC, the first thing in our plans was to look for a flat. And so we did. We were lucky to be able to find one that satisfied most of our requirements, sellers who were willing to meet us somewhere in between, and an agent who was very attentive to our needs. So what's the next step?

An Unusual Family Day at the Singapore National Gallery

"Every museum is full of nice things. That's the opposite of before. 
It was important things or serious things. Now we have interesting things." 
- Gerhard Richter

Just last week, the boys and I went to the National Museum of Singapore and we did have fun, unexpectedly because we are really not (traditional) museum-going people. I saw how engrossed Ira was looking at the artefacts and listening to the facts and figures shared by the museum guide so I thought we could definitely go for another museum tour before the school holiday ends.

This June school holidays the boys deserved a break from all the studying/revisions in preparation for their national exams this coming 3rd and 4th terms. My parent volunteer group of friends arranged some museum visits over the duration of the holidays and we were glad we were able to join them last Wednesday.

Affordable Eye Health Check at Ngee Ann Poly

"Your regular eye exam: the least expensive 

and most impactful investment in wellness." 

I read this quote online and I told myself no way it's cheap. Everything now is expensive especially in the field of medicine/health. But I guess I was wrong. You just have to know where to look for good deals or know someone who knows where these good deals are.
