♥ About Me

About Me
I’m a full-time working mother with a very active toddler at home. He is my little boy, Edison, born in Sept 2007. I’m a Malaysian, born in Ipoh, currently holding a Singapore PR. I’ve been staying in Singapore for 8 good years. I enjoy my life in this unique island with a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, arts and architecture. Night life is great and shopping is fantastic. 

I started working in Singapore after I graduated from University Technology of Malaysia with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical/Electronics. I pursued my post graduate study in National University of Singapore and obtained my Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering in year 2004.

My Family
I’m happily married to my husband, Venneth. He is a wonderful man – thoughtful, funny, helpful, loving, dependable and supportive. He has a great passion for cooking and he’s a good cook at home. Mostly referred to as “V” in this blog.

Little Edison, our firstborn, made his grand entrance in 2007. He is an adorable, intelligent, loving and spirited little boy. I adore this new man in my life. He makes my life so complete and meaningful. I hope he inherits my determination and positive attitude towards life; and his daddy’s creativity, humour and charm.

My Career
I’m currently working in a US MNC in the electronics sector. I plan for the supply of products based on their demand. I deal with numbers everyday – customer forecast, shipment plan, inventory level, product cost, production capacity and lead time. Ultimately, I deliver what the customers want and maintain a healthy inventory level for my company.

On Parenting
Life is always beautiful and full of surprises with children. Edison brings joy and happiness to my life. The experience in raising him has been bitter sweet. I’ve learnt so much for the past one year and I’m still learning. I will continue to improve and provide the best for Edison.

My Interests
I love taking pictures, shopping, reading, writing and learning new skills. Although I’m obsessed with shopping, I’m still very careful in my spending. I don’t go for luxury brands (unless necessary!).

I enjoy reading parenting blogs, magazines and books. I’m a proactive mother who are constantly talking to people, exchanging parenting tips and ideas. I read, I write and I share what I’ve learned and experienced in this wonderful world of motherhood.

About This Blog
I’ve decided to start this blog because I love my son. I want to pen down all his growing up stories and milestones in this wonderful blog. Hopefully when he grows up and reads this blog, it will bring him all his childhood memories. He will definitely appreciate the hard works that have gone into it.

Motherhood is exciting and full of challenges. Through this blog, I share the ups and downs of motherhood, challenges of balancing a demanding full-time career with family, helpful parenting tips and home education resources.

Last but not least, this blog is full of pictures and growing up stories of Little Edison. I’m sure it is gratifying to read about Little Edison and growing up with him.
