“With my 4am wake-up calls during the week, my weekends are all about finding the perfect balance between relaxation, fun and preparation.
My husband and I love to travel, and we are away on a tropical island most weekends. Our picks for a quick 48-hour getaway are neighbouring countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.
If you do find us in Singapore for the weekend, then my perfect Saturday begins with sleeping in – a luxury I don’t get during the week.
Saturdays are typically dedicated to being a homebody. I spend time with my husband and our almost-two-year-old golden retriever Tofu, who has his own Instagram page, @worldoftofu. We take lots of walks, which helps me stay active as well. I use these walks as moments of focus and meditation, and a chance to clear my mind and catch up with my partner.
I’m 100 per cent plant-based at home and vegetarian when out. So, when at home, I love experimenting in the kitchen. There’s something therapeutic about creating dishes from scratch. I’ve perfected a fishless ‘tuna’ and meatless dumplings, and I love making Tofu his own snacks and biscuits.
I am working on making my own vegan, sugar- and oil-free granola, as well as a no-nasties protein powder.
When my husband and I are not enjoying a homemade meal and some downtime, you’ll find us at our favourite haunts at Marina Bay Sands – Spago for a special date night or Koma when we are craving Japanese.
My Sundays take on a different rhythm from those of most people – they’re my power-planning days. Not many like tackling their inbox, but I find it energising...
