Our Sunday

Xin and I nearly had a nervous breakdown before the “Sew Green So Cool” craft workshop yesterday at iFourum, Ngee Ann City.

Care for the World

As my dad was reading through my draft of answers for an interview today (because it’s in Mandarin, I badly needed help!) with 《财经追击》 (Money Week), he said that it’s a wonderful thing that Singapore is finally doing more awareness work on eco-consciousness.
