Recently, I got invited to go on a maternity TV programme with Joanne Peh as the host. Unfortunately, the email was sent to my other email box which is used for official emails but is not as frequently checked, so I missed it. 🙁 The discussion topic was maternity wear. Although I missed the opportunity, I…

Now that the announcement is out, I can properly blog some of my encounters while on my motherhood journey. I guess there’ll be some throwback posts.
