Singapore Design Week takes place in March and this year we brought our two girls to check out some of the programmes around National Design Centre at Middle Road. In their words, “This is fun!“. Well, it is hard for me to please them these days, they have grown to have their own concept of fun and I’m sometime put …

Keeping Our Children’s Sight In Check
We parents all know that it is almost impossible to not expose our children in this digital age from technology… the iPads, tablets, mobile phones and in school they learn on the computer too. All these devices emit blue light that can cause problems with our eyes when overexposed to the blue light over a period of time. It is …
We’ve Bought KidZania Annual Passes and Here’s How We Intend To Milk It!
So finally after a year of waiting, KidZania Singapore now has annual passes for kids! We jumped right into this investment for our one-year of unlimited entries into KidZania Singapore without need of much persuasion on the Mummy’s mind. Because it’s really too good a deal for Mummy to resists, the thought of having less headaches cracking where to go …
Google Home In Our House And Here’s Our Family’s Favorite “Hey Google” Moments
You know the 1001 questions and requests your kids have daily? Well, we get that too and on many days, I really just to tell them to “Ask Google” because that’s what Mummy will do whenever she needs answers that she doesn’t have. But the girls don’t have 24/7 access to google because I don’t want them to get stuck …
Learning Value of Money is More Than Being Able to Touch Dollar Notes and Coins
I’m really bad at managing money, no one really taught me the importance of savings when I was little. I was never told that I should split my daily pocket money so that I have some to spend, to save and to donate. Being the eldest in the family also means I got a lot of TLC from my parents, …
Our 5 Year Old First Forest Adventure in Genting
In February, together with the little ones and my mum, we headed up to Genting for the first time after more than two decades. I have zero recollection of how the place looks like and did not have any expectation for the trip besides the awesome meals we were going to try at the newly renovated Sky Avenue at Resorts …
Never a Dull Moment at Kidsfest 2017 with Gruffalos, Ladybirds and Other Beasts with Julia Donaldson
What a fun evening it was with Julia Donaldson and her awesome casts at Gruffalos, Ladybirds and Other Beasts! It was a mad rush down to the Victoria Theatre but totally worth it. The girls (including the 2 not-so-young ones) enjoyed the performance very much. Here’s why. Never a dull moment! From the moment we got to our seats till the …
Learning to Write with Kids’ Favourite Songs
Ayra is in K2 this year, and she is still not very keen on reading nor writing. I am not sure if she’s only being lazy when around me or she is really just not interested. Based on feedback from her teachers, she is doing alright in class and even during her enrichment sessions at Eye Level. To help get …
My Little Photographers at KidZania Canon Imaging Academy
The Mummy loves photography and has been a supporter for Canon cameras for a long time now. The girls have been the subject of Mummy’s shooting obsession since the day they entered into her life. They have seen how the Mummy handled the camera and are rather familiar with how the camera works. When they were given a chance to …
Love Creative Play Time with Our Kids
Playtime is rare with Mummy around, because Mummy is always busy with work even when she’s at home in the evening. But when Mummy do sit and play with the girls, they immerse themselves 101% and do all kind of silly things together. Now that Ayra is 5 and Zara is 3, both of them love creating their own stories …
Our Learning Experience with Eye Level Singapore at City Square Mall
Ayra is almost 5 and she’s not very interested in learning to read. She’s a spatial and visual learner, she prefers to draw than to write her alphabets. She prefers to learn the strokes of Chinese characters rather than to recognise the sound of words. A few months ago, she was still writing alphabets and words (even her name at times) in …
