"My son is the reason and inspiration behind my we

"My son is the reason and inspiration behind my weight transformation, losing 95kg over two years; I want to see him grow up and be there for him when he gets older. I know that obesity brings various health complications so I decided that it was time to make a change. It’s important to eat in moderation together with physical activities, and this is what I did – weight training, HIIT, and I also started doing yoga! I recently found myself on TikTok, after being labelled a “boomer” by my niece and nephew. I was a bit confused but after looking it up, I realised they were implying I was old and outdated! One of the reasons I decided to get on TikTok is because I think it’s a good way to close the generation gap with my son. It’s something special we share; a common ground where we can talk and do fun things together." We need @chefbob.sg to give us some TikTok tips! 😆 With Father's Day coming up, we're looking back on this heartwarming interview we did with the celebrity chef when he debuted his @yahoosg web series, Bob’s Gastronomical Trail: Asia.

"Oh, I am all kinds of quirky. And I’m known for

"Oh, I am all kinds of quirky. And I’m known for telling somewhat 'bad' jokes. Yes, my humour level is rather unsophisticated. Let’s just say I can relate to kids quite easily and usually put a smile on their face. Like have you heard about the pig that does Karate? He’s called Pork Chop! And what about Mike, do you know what he was like before he married Ruth? Ruth-less!" We love Talking Point host and presenter @steven.chia's dad jokes (even if they're a little cringey 😝) In celebration of Father's Day, this week we're looking back on all the great interviews we've done with some Cool Dads in Singapore! Click link in bio to read more on Steven's fave spots to take the kids, awesome book recommendations and more in our interview with him from 2018.⁠

"When I got to know I was carrying a girl, I was s

"When I got to know I was carrying a girl, I was super thrilled. Having a baby girl means you get to be best friends forever. It means I get to be her point of reference in every stage of life. My early months with my toddler is my favourite and those moments, I treasure the most. I love knowing I can be her source of comfort when she's unsure and still learning about the world. I love that at the end of a long day, all she wanted was to wind down with mama. I love that I am the one she turns to when she's scared or in pain... I love being her safe space. For the longest time I thought this was the only way - mama for all the good and bad days - and that's where I was wrong.⁠
⁠
As my daughter grew older she developed more skills and her own preferences. I am super proud of her asserting her own preferences but I hadn't factored that these preferences might mean her preferring daddy over me! You see, I am the parent who makes sure she's fed, clothed and cleaned. Sometimes in between juggling work, house and family, maybe I forgot to slow down. All she gets from me are the checklists that need to get ticked - dinner, shower, bedtime. Unknowingly, I had turned into the 'discipline' parent and my husband, the 'fun' one. Maybe it's my fault that I did not take the time to play with her or make routines fun like my husband did.⁠
⁠
One time, she cried for daddy for bath time, playtime and bedtime. My heart sank a little at the thought of being rejected by my own toddler and being the second-favourite parent. Maybe I am exaggerating, but I can't help questioning what if she simply doesn't need me anymore?..."⁠
