New Zealand has always been on my bucket list - specifically, the South Island, for its lakeside views, mountain peaks, and rich wildlife. As someone who loves the tranquility of nature, the South Island is like heaven on earth. As a type-A traveller, I took pride in mapping out my near-two week holiday with my mum and husband in tow. True to my style, I created a Google Sheet so detailed it could rival the planning for NDP (LOL).

A grand and architecturally striking terminal along Keppel Road, the station became the southern gateway connecting Singapore to the rest of West Malaysia.

I didn’t post any photos of myself after giving birth, partly because I was too tired to use Instagram, but mostly because after 36 hours of labour, I looked like a bloodied and bespectacled Jabba the Hutt—a far cry from That Mum who gets her brows done a week before her EDD, or who packs her Dyson Airwrap in her hospital bag. That Mum looks like she’s taken a shower.

25 years ago, Singapore officially decided to mind its language – quite literally. The Speak Good English Movement (SGEM) was launched on 29 Apr 2000 by then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, with one clear goal: to get Singaporeans to speak grammatically correct English that the rest of the world could actually understand. How come suddenly must speak good English? By the late ‘90s, English wasn’t just for the atas crowd anymore.
