I watched the first Toy Story movie when I was 12 years old. My friends and I loved it because the characters were cute and funny. I mean, toys that can move and come to life? That is something really creative.
Then came the sequel four years later in my secondary days. We got to learn more about Woody's background and I realised that just like us, each of the toys had a unique story to tell.
When Toy Story 3 came out in 2010, I had become a mum and was, well, a more emotional and knowing human being. It was incredible how much I could identify with this tear-jerking movie and that part where Andy became an adolescent and outgrew his childhood needs, it hit me really hard.
Last weekend, we caught the preview of Toy Story 4 and I can only say this has to be the BEST of the lot. It's heartwarming, funny, imaginative, nostalgic and sentimental all rolled into one. I love how Woody's ending was a sad yet happy one (watch it to know what I mean) and his love for his kid never fails to remind me on what it means to love unconditionally, never asking for anything in return. I mean, how many of can actually do that in real life? His loyalty, determination and unyielding love is something that truly inspires me.
Oh, and Bo Peep makes a comeback with a major role this time and I can only say her vallant, spunky personality in this new movie makes her almost on par with Woody as my favourite Toy Story character of all time. Girl power!
Many thanks to Disney for having us at the premiere. It was a great way to us to spend Father's Day, regardless if it was for the kids and I who are Toy Story fans or the hubby who had never watched any of the earlier movies. Yup, he enjoyed it much too which says a lot about the show.
Toy Story 4 opens in cinemas today. Trust me when I say it is a movie not to be missed. Just remember to have a tissue in hand too, okay?
Check out our customised shirt for the Daddy, quite cool hor? We love you 3000!

Delighted to host a dinner to celebrate Mr Ong Pang Boon’s 90th birthday last night in Parliament House. This is also an anniversary year – the 65th of the PAP’s founding, the 60th of the first PAP Government in 1959, and the Singapore Bicentennial. It was a special occasion to celebrate those who have sacrificed and contributed to making Singapore what it is today.
I have been privileged to have known Mr Ong since I was a little boy. He was then the PAP’s Organising Secretary. One of my childhood memories is being brought by my father one afternoon to the PAP headquarters, then at South Bridge Road, when I was about five or six years old, during the late 1950s. I remember Mr Ong was busy going through the records of the party members, and opened a file to show me my father’s record.
As the PAP’s first paid full-time employee, Mr Ong was in charge of almost everything – party membership registration, correspondence with the branches, party members and public, and publication of Petir, the party newsletter. But Mr Ong was much more than an administrator. He played a crucial role bridging the non-Communist PAP leaders, who were mostly English educated, with the Chinese-speaking masses. Mr Ong helped amplify the messages that the leadership wanted to convey, and contributed much to the PAP’s strong victory in the 1959 Legislative Assembly elections, which brought the PAP into power for the first time.
Mr Ong was only 30 when he first became a minister. He held key portfolios – Home Affairs (1959-63), then Education (1963-1970), Labour (1970-1980) and Environment (1980-1984). In 1965, Mr Ong was one of the 10 Singapore signatories who signed the Separation Agreement. As Minister of Education, Mr Ong introduced flag raising ceremonies in schools, and the daily recitation of what later became the National Pledge.
You probably know that Mr Rajaratnam drafted the English pledge, but you may not know it was Mr Ong who had come up with the idea of a loyalty pledge to be taken by students, to inculcate national consciousness and patriotism. He wrote to Raja to explain this, and sent some initial drafts of the pledge by MOE staff to seek Raja’s comments and amendments. Raja then worked on it, and proposed a version which Mr Lee Kuan Yew subsequently amended to become the English pledge we have today. After the English text was settled, Mr Ong then personally amended the Chinese translation to produce the final Chinese version of the pledge. And so on 24 August 1966, schoolchildren all over Singapore, including myself, recited the Pledge for the first time before the national flag. Since then, generations of young Singaporeans have learnt the pledge by heart, and internalised what it means to be Singaporean. What started as a loyalty pledge for schoolchildren has now become the National Pledge for all Singaporeans.
In a long lifetime, Mr Ong has witnessed first-hand how Singapore progressed from Third World to First. As one of our founding generation of leaders, Mr Ong participated in the big events surrounding our country’s birth. His contributions, and indeed those of the First Generation, must never be forgotten.
On behalf of all of us, Mr Ong, thank you for your years of dedicated service to the PAP, and for your many contributions to Singapore. Happy Birthday Mr Ong! Here's wishing you many more healthy and fruitful years ahead.

Very rarely will I post a photo with completely no makeup on because I’ve gotten used to the face I have with it on.
I want to post this photo though because in that moment I felt 100% myself. This past weekend I got to have some great conversations that reminded me of what it means to communicate with the soul. It’s the simplicity of unconditional loyalty and complete honesty that friends have that keep us going.
Grateful for new friends and those who have stuck by me since dinosaur age (you know who you are) 💜
