Tomo & Family.
I’m sure everyone has met and love Tomo.
I know everyone thinks he’s mighty handsome. In fact, Tomo’s so popular these days that he gets as many fan mails as I do! Haha..
You think he’s cute.. but did you know that he has a huge family of brothers and sisters that are just as cute?
Everyone, meet Tomo’s entourage.
Everyone in Tomo’s family is cute. When I had first seen them, it was a really tough decision to pick Tomo among them to be my constant companion.
All of them are just as agile as Tomo. Their heads can turn. And they can raise their arms to shout “Yeh!” too.
And just like Tomo, every single one of them has a special backside.
I hate that there are 12 of Tomo’s siblings that haven’t found nice homes.
So, I’m going to give them to my dearest readers. Each one of them will go to 12 lucky readers. This is my little way of saying Thank You for your support for this blog. I hope you provide a nice home for the little one.

Your blog is a wonderful showcase of your life revolving around a lovely family and anything under the sun or moon.
hey bing, i filled up the wrong email addy in the prev comments.
it should be without “ie” before the dot.
Well….I love your blog because we’re such good friends! Even though we see each other once every 8 years or so, our friendship is still as strong as ever! I’ll repost here: True friendship isn’t being inseparable, it’s being separated and nothing changes.
XOXOXOXO
I like to read your blog mainly because of those great photos that you took and of course, those interesting facts about you and your family and some other things in the environment that we can hardly experience. Your blog make me see and learn so much!
I love your blog cause it’s great to read the experiences and perspectives of a fellow singaporean living abroad. And I love the photos plus the awesome recipes!!
Got to know your blog from the S’pore Blog Awards & had been following your blog since then…
I used to set my 400D to Auto mode and after seeing the photos in your blog, gave me the inspiration to explore with the Manual mode, the results certainly look more satisfying
p.s.Thank you for your advise on the 50mm f/1.4, I finally bought it last month, and I love it so much!!

Your blog is a wonderful showcase of your life revolving around a lovely family and anything under the sun or moon.
I like coming back again & again to look read about the mighty tutorials on photography/Photoshopping, or the mouth-watering food which is always made into easy step-by-step guides (even printable version? Come’on! What’s there not to love?) and simply, looking at gorgeous photos.
Hey Karen, pick me, pick me… :-p
Because you are the one and only blogger I am following.
You need only a comment? I can still provide more if you need me to. hee…
Very simply, like I had said before, your blog is so ‘sunshiney’. Reading it puts a smile on my face.
I just started reading your blog and I like it because of the alternative viewpoint on parenting and photography related stuff cos I am quite the shutter happy geek!
Refreshing and different topic every time I read. I also like you photos very much
I have to say enriching, entertaining and refreshing are the reasons to why I like your blog.
The way how you post your thoughts individually in each post makes it very light-hearted to read. Even if the topic might sound very heavy, you always know how to make it less serious but still able to bring the point forward.
How you look at life, around your family, passion, things around you… is refreshing and teaches each readers, who chance upon your site, something… and get hooked.
Your blog gives me access to your 精彩 life and room for imagination ……… while I am stuck here in the rat race……. Thanks for filling this emotion need
Because your blog is simple & nice. Your post are straight to the point and easy to read. and you update quite frequently. and the pictures you take are nice (but not OVERDOSE with pics). Lastly, no advertorials!! (at least i don\’t see it, or if it is an advertorial, i don\’t feel like its one).
I wan i wan! I love the way yr pics are taken and also your stay in a foreign country too!
Just because your blog is very down to earth, with a subtle touch of the “singaporean lingo” in a foreign land making it even more enjoyable to read. Most importantly, the love factor that focus on family togetherness.
I read your blog to fill my boring time and try to find inspiration. Yes i am looking for some inspiration bout what i’m gonna do with my life. Since graduated from university early 2009 until today, it seems i lost my purpose for life and just thinking ” what should i do? ” every single day.
Luckily, there are your blog and other blogs out there that makes me think ” people out there seems to be enjoying their lives” and i enjoy reading how do you fill and enjoy your daily life.
I like your honest writing, and I admire your ability to cook, write, and shoot so well…
“every single one of them has a special backside” … that made me grin.
LOL!
Why I like your blog? Because I like your attitude and I like to hate myself for looking at your photos of yummy food in the middle of the night and go ‘argh!’
Your blog is humble and inspirational. I love the way you design the blog’s layout – It’s nice, simple and clean. I love your pictures, personal thoughts/wisdom (sometimes they really do knock some senses into my head), life story, recipes and writing style (I like the way you incorporate humor in your writing). Ummm.. I think these are why I read your blog and keep visiting it e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y. since I accidentally bumped into it few months ago =)
I especially love your cooking blog, Bing.
I love your photographs, and your tips and techniques in producing great pictures. Also you tend, to make us laugh with your stories, and jokes, and it shows what a wonderful being you are. 
I love your blog because its full of nice pictures and you write about your experiences. I just saw your blog through nuffnang and your pretty picture just strikes me.
cos I find your step-by-step cooking receipes really useful! they come complete with pictures
thank you!
Hi, I chanced upon your blog n TOMO some months back and hv been ardent fan since..love your blog as it’s true, simple and inspirational… I think i need a companion too, just like you..and be part of TOMO-BING’s Community
Halo Bing

It’s because she is special & different from the others !
I like your style of writing…. & your photography skills
You made me explore the world outside through your photos & blog. Your love towards your family is just too loving.

I’m being honest. I want your Tomo. I’ll wait and see if honesty paid.
I like your blog as it motivates and inspires me to focus on the positive aspects of life instead of simply documenting the negatives! I remember you wrote that you have overcome many obstacles to get to where you are now, and you’ve been my role model in some way or another. Such a heartwarming blog with your beautiful photos and stories, never fail to brighten up my mood.
Keep blogging yea!
I like reading your blog because it brings me further than where i am. You lead a really interesting life and i enjoyed reading all the cooking, traveling and family entries as well!
I like reading your blog because of the great shots you took, how you blog about your life at the other part of the world, your relationship with your families and also how you are meticulous in taking photos to illustrate how a dish was cooked (:

Hey Bing,
I came across your blong when I did blog-walking. I use to follow one of your friend’s blog, Leon. I love his blog so much and I think he is such a charming guy!
When I stepped in your blong the first time, I was stunned by the eye-catching layout, clean but yet stylish. I follow your blog eversince.
I like the way you pull out all the stories to put in your photography: your cooking [ I always drool over your home-cook ], your family and friends [ love the value you put in your relationship in your family and friends ], travelling…and most of all, I’m moved by your passion and dedication you put onto your blog. Now, I have 2 blogs to read regualary, I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
PS. Where are you moving to? *I’m curious*
I like your blog because of the variety of topics stated and the interesting cooking recipes with pictures and step by step instructions. Have been following your blog since this yr and also enjoy looking at your pictures! Great!
Hi Bing,
The time I know about your blog is during the Singapore blog award, you were the top 3 finalist. Ever since then, I read your blog everyday. I especially like the food and cooking posts. The way you write with step by step instructions and photos, very helpful. Please do post more recipes when you have the time.
your blog motivates me all the time – I love your recipes, your mum’s recipes
, the peektures of new zealand in your eyes, quirky quote from the books u read.. the feeling that life evolves more than meets my own. thanks for sharing all these inspiring bits. Keep on going, you make a difference.
Hi Bing,
I love your blog, your life story & your yummy recipes!
Jiayou!
Sandra
Love the positive vibes and inspiring words in your entries.
They never fail to make feel much better after reading what you wrote.
Lastly, not forgetting the beautiful pictures you have on your blog.
It makes me wanna go New Zealand too~
And I like Tomo too!
My friend introduced me to your blog, saying its full of positive energies! He’s right and I like it
I like reading your blog because your entries are all so real and genuine
Love how selfless you are to share all your delicious recipes and your effort to take step-by-step pictures! you have no idea how helpful it has been for your readers 
thank you Bing 
Hello there!
Why do I like your blog?
Honestly, I cannot articulate this properly – it\’s not like buying milk you know, which one\’s creamier, smoother..
All I know is, your down-to-earth posts leave a smile on my face each time after I read about your quirky take on life that you see through your lens, Tomo, your positive side on relationships never fail to encourage me to keep working at mine.
And, you are the only woman who makes recipes look easy! I hated recipes because it\’s always difficult to follow and yours with step-by-step pictorial guides just rock! You should consider writing a recipe book, I may just buy one!
And to be honest, I like your blog only because of Tomo. HAHA, kidding.
Keep writing, your words touch the lives of many people you know?
PS: Send Tomo my love whether I win his brothers or not, okay?
PSS: Who needs love when you can have all the bags in the world?
)
2 words – it’s 精彩
Hi Bing,
I’ve been following your blog since this year. I love everything about your blog and especially admire your zest for life and the people you love. Jiayou ^_^
hi Bing, has been seeing Tomo popping up in some of your pics, and I was wondering what-is-that?. Hey, u even got a Tomo introduction –> http://www.storyofbing.com/?page_id=5227.
Now, I love your blog :
- simple to read
- great pictures
- witty lines
And blogs are supposed to be just like that !
..oh, and I want my Mrs to peck me when she sees your “Tomo-buddy” gift
I love the food u cook for your family!
One word: MOJO.
The simple words you use in your blog carry a very positive energy to your readers (me included of course
It’s like it’s coming from the inside of you to the people around you and I don’t just mean it physically. I’m sure many other readers can attest to that.
Keep up the high spirits Bing!
Hi bing!
I like reading your blog because it’s short & sweet and you’ve got great pictures.. when I first chanced upon your blog.. your recipes & photoshop tips drove me crazy! I was happily printing recipes (in the office) ahem.. haha.. and i’ve tried out your butter biscuits & sweet sour pork recipes! Yummy! They got alot of compliments 
I also love that you’re really patriotic.. it’s so easy sometimes for singaporeans to go overseas & love everything there, complaining abt how singapore is.. but I identify with u bcoz while travelling is great.. it’s always nice to come back home!
Your family’s really special too & I think you’re a really great mom to your step-kids.. the love in ur family is evident & you’ve got really cool stories to share.. so yes! I’ll keep coming back for more..
(i was actually kind of “addicted” to reading & finished reading ur blog in the office *again* over 2-3 days!)
Keep it up!
Heya!
This is my first time commenting. I couldn’t resist after seeing that Tomo’s brothers and sisters are trying to find a home! I’ll adopt one and feed and clean him/her and take good care of it!
As for why I like your blog, well, to be honest I just got to know it a few days ago.
But I do like the pretty pictures and the random posts (I read back) and the supporting of local talents and how real and genuine it all is! Like you just thought of it and plonked everything down just like that.
I aspire to be a blogger like you, and share the same inspiration to the world.
So thanks for blogging!
Hi there, I’ve been reading your blog even before the Blog Awards thingy. Your posts are always so positive, aesthetically pleasing with a wide range of topics for your readers. I think this adopt ‘tomo’s family’ idea is a great way to reward your readers.
Keep up the good work!
Hi Bing,
Have been a silent reader of your blog for quite some time. I especially like your posts on life in New Zealand as hope to visit NZ again in the future. (was there on holiday with family back in 1992). I also enjoy reading your recipe blog with the detailed instructions and nice photos.
My 3 year old grandson want to have the pink tomo’s sibling for company in his bed. If luck permit, hope you can grant this request.
http://moomeh.com/kids/
really enjoy reading, keep writing!
Hi there,
First came across your blog at sgblogaward and was intrigued by it. blog of a singaporean staying overseas, it reasonates with me a lot as i am just posted overseas and trying to adapt to another country myself. the food recipes posted online helped a lot as i knew nuts about cooking before i left and was trying to re-create some local food to disasterous effects lol.
but what was nice was the postive upturn of your blog and it really bring a smile and encouragement especially at the end of a nasty work day. jiayou and cheers!
Dear Bing,
These are the reasons why I LOVE your blog:
1) I like your sense of humor!
2) You have great photography skills!
3) All the stuff you write about is really interesting and fun!
4) I LOVE all your food recipes because they are simply DELICIOUS and easy to make at the same time!
5) Great to see that you a great big happy family!!
I wanna thank you for blogging because reading your blog makes my day great!!!!!
Your relationship with your husband and his children showed me the genuine side of love between two people, and it had truly been an inspiration to me
I hope to be able to treasure the ones I hold dear towards me just like you do, and learn from the mistakes and sacrifices you’ve made to become a better and stronger person!
Hi Bing,
I had come across your blog during the Singapore Blog Awards and has been following yiour blog ever since. I love how you blog about the way of life, your experiences, your family and FOOD! haha….best of all, I feel that I can connect with your blog as I am also a “housewife” who loves food!
I have been to NZ once, many years ago and looking at your blog brings back fond memories of the place. Shall get my hubby to bring me back there soon…*wink wink*
Do continue with your great blog and I will support you!
Cool, I’m still on time:)
what I like your blog most is your attitude towards to the life….whenever I read your blog, I can get the energy from it and feel the life can be sooo beautiful….:)
Thank you, Bing, for bringing us such a wonderful blog…^^
wow, and there are already 74 comments!
anyway, im a recent follower of your blog … having only come across it after viewing the various blogs on sgblog awards. and like many many others, i soon find myself getting addicted to your blog. the fact that you like to keep it real and positive is indeed a very attractive point to read ur blog. there are not many bloggers, especially local ones, who share about their feelings and views so publicly with everyone else (im guilty too) so to be able to read through your honest posts, it’s almost as if im making an online friend. one whom i “know” but yet not really “know”, if you get what i mean?
So, anyway, i hope that this stream of comments coming in will serve as an encouragement to keep on blogging and inspiring others like me
steph
Hahaha Bing! You have absolutely got to be the cutest housewife inside and out!
