A few weeks ago my grandmother and my aunt flew off to Melbourne for a week long holiday. Also flying out with them was my cousin who would be doing his matriculation studies there at one of the university.

Turning back the clock to more then a decade ago I can still remember the fond memories I had when I was studying at Melbourne University. Going to school by tram and train. It was certainly an experience which I couldn’t have if I was doing my degree here in Singapore.

I really enjoyed myself studying in the Old Arts halls of Melbourne Uni and seeing pictures of it brings back fond memories of sitting outside on the lawns and having lunches with friends.

Living and studying abroad widen my exposure and knowledge about different cultures and lifestyles. I also got the opportunity to bond with people of different backgrounds and nationalities.

It was the place where I met and fell in love with my hubby.We hope to bring the boys there when they are much older so they can enjoy the rich and diverse culture of Melbourne.

Where will you be going this holidays?

Friday Smoothies

Sometimes after a long day at work, I long to have a cool and nutritious drink to quirst my thirst. This is when I think about Strawberry and Banana smoothies.

I have always loved smoothies as they not only taste good, they are also good for your health.

Drinking a smoothie is also a way to get my boys the vitamins and nutrients that they need without struggling with them to finish their vegetables or fruits.

Ice-blended or think shakes can be rather costly if you order them at a restaurant. You can be easily forking out $8 to $12 for a drink.(Including taxes)

It will be more econonomical if you were able to make the smoothies at home for a fraction of the cost.
