Due to an ongoing MRT line construction, the Upper Bukit Timah Road route had a lot of detours. What used to be a straight route is now turned into a series of curves and bends.  Signs and markers are placed strategically and prominently to guide the motorists. Detours are not dead ends.

Sickness and pain

My son, Shawn, was sick recently. He came grouchy, sniffly and phlegmy. He would be crying more often, and was waking up frequently at night.

My son needed me!

My son, Shawn, loves to be out in the park near my home. He would walk around freely there, while I would sit at the bench and watch him. This morning, Shawn was happily walking in the park, until he got stuck at a corner. The step ahead of him was too high for him to get across. From a [...]
