"Before having kids, I wish I knew being a dad is

"Before having kids, I wish I knew being a dad is not going to be as easy as being the cool uncle. I married really late and I’ve always been the cool uncle, so I honestly thought taking care of a child would be easy peasy because I love kids and they love me. The one big difference is at the end of the day, you get to return your nephews and nieces to their parents. Having a child, the sleepless nights, the constant worrying, the exhaustion that comes with the constant worrying… It isn’t easy. But a friend once told me that having a child is like riding the most awesome rollercoaster ride; it’ll bring you to the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, but you wouldn’t want to trade that ride for anything in the world." We love director Muhammad Mahfuz Mazlan's candid sharing in this interview! Keep reading in our link in bio as he talks about filming in New York without his family (in -28ºC weather!) and shares more on his latest @mediacorp_suria telemovie, Papa Pilot, starring @fir_rahman and @nurfarhanamnoor⁠.

RADIO FEATURE: Sassy Mama x CNA938 with Eugene Loh

RADIO FEATURE: Sassy Mama x CNA938 with Eugene Loh on Racial Harmony Day. Hey mamas, Syazana here ❤️ In case you missed it, I was a guest on CNA Night Life with Eugene Loh on CNA938 last week! We talked about the article I wrote on @sassymamasg titled, "Kids Wearing Other Ethnicities’ Traditional Outfits: Appropriation or Appreciation?" I'll be honest, I was so nervous that I forgot to mention one important thing I noted in the article about this topic – one of the main reasons for writing this article was to urge everyone to address our own biases and assumptions we may have about people from certain races. The last thing we want is to celebrate RHD by wearing each others' cultural outfits while simultaneously having certain notions about other ethnicities, eg. painting everyone from a certain race with the same brush; lacking understanding or showing discontent for others' religious practices; or assuming someone's capabilities or level of intelligence by their race (especially in schools or at the workplace). Most will think that partaking in this uniquely Singaporean practice is innocent fun and can't possibly lead to bigger, complicated issues, but only when we confront these preconceived notions we may have, can we move forward and be a more inclusive and diverse society. Let's all strive to be more mindful and respectful, and try our best to pass on our learnings to our children so the next generation comes out even better. Read the full article in our link in bio. #racialharmonyday

Want to have yourself a dim sum tea party at home?

Want to have yourself a dim sum tea party at home? You can order takeaway from most restos now (good job pivoting F&B!) but we also love the idea of ordering easy-to-heat-up frozen dim sum, pau and char siew that you can keep in your freezer and cook when you want (in 8-15 mins!)! SWIPE left to see how this dim sum selection arrived at our door in neat packaging. We steamed the pau and dim sum for 8 minutes, air fryed the pre-cooked Crackling Roasted Pork for 20 minutes and voila! @direct_to_masses is the online delivery arm of one of our fave affordable casual restaurants The Masses serving up wallet-friendly Franco-Asian cuisine. Click our link in bio to read all about dim sum offerings in Singapore including this new addition offering everything from frozen plump pau to sumptuous siew mai, plus European dishes like Braised Red Wine Beef Cheek and Authentic Belgian Waffles! ⁠⁠

OK, here we go: My son was about two years old and we were talking all about the different body parts - we taught him that ‘testicles’ was the proper term but that he could call them ‘balls’ if he wanted. It was Christmas so we were putting decorations up. He got confused with all the new words. Started calling his crown jewels ‘baubles' 🤣 Your turn!⁠ ⁠
