The name “Honey Marquise” is coined because of my affinity with the letter H as it seems to represent everything happy and bore a deeper significance personally. ‘Marquise’ offers a few meanings which I embrace too. I am blessed with a sweet, doting husband and 2 cheerful children who never fail to make me smile.
I am a marketing professional by virtue of interest, work experience and education. I hold a business computing degree from NUS and a MBA, specialized in Marketing & Strategy, from NTU. Both disciplines have influenced the way I analyze and respond to my children, which tends to be systematic or business-oriented.
I blog as a hobby, on top of other interests such as reading, running, shopping, singing KTV, sussing out good bargains, planning F&E holidays, travelling, creating photobooks & spending time with my family. Other hobbies such as enjoying wine, cycling and playing racquet games can only be resumed in the near future.
