Goldilocks and the Three Bears (in Mandarin) by The Little Company.
{Giveaway at end of post} I love exposing my kids to different experiences and one of the easiest way is to bring them to watch plays. They are immediately transported into settings that are out of their world, and they often get to learn a valuable lesson or two. I also use the scenes in plays to relate to my kids, and teach them life’s lessons through it. Jerry has been through quite a number of plays already, and Jerome recently went for his first. The plays they have watched thus far have been english-speaking ones and I do want to bring them to Mandarin speaking ones in a bid…

Chinese Calligraphy and Finger Painting
The boys recently tried their hands on Chinese calligraphy and finger painting when we were invited to preview FOX’s new CNY collection in their store. Oh boy, they both had a lot of fun! By the way, if you have yet to do much clothes shopping for your kids this CNY, do keep your eyes peeled to the end of the post. You might just win an outfit for your kid! I never saw my hyper kids so attentive and so glued to their seats before, so it was really refreshing observing them throughout the class. The class instructor brought them through the basics, the couplets and paintings on display,…

Peter Pan – The Neverending Story
I brought the kids to watch the Peter Pan, The Neverending Story musical some weeks back. It isn’t the kids’ first experience in a theatre setting (read: Junior Claus’ experience), and Jerry has been a lot more plays/musicals prior to this. But, it is definitely the only one with both pyrotechnics and acrobatic acts involved. I probably didn’t do a good job of prepping them with the storyline before hand. I did try to let them watch some Peter Pan cartoon from youtube but they were more interested in the Frozen theme songs (IKR!!) and Transformers instead. That said, I think they both did a very good job in sitting…

Browtisan Eyebrow Embroidery Touch Up Experience
About 2 months ago, I took a leap of faith and went for eyebrow embroidery. Very honestly, while I was very sure that I wanted to do something with my uneven brows, I wasn’t sure if I could survive the next few years living my decision. Although eyebrow embroidery is semi-permanent, I was still scared. Scared because I have never done anything to my face before and I don’t really know what suits me best. Thankfully, I got mine done at Browtisan and Coco, who is chief creative officer at Browtisan is one of the best in the industry. I am loving my brows everyday, and it saves me so…

Canon Family Bloggers Photo Shoot Out @ Sentosa Singapore
When I first gotten the invitation for the Canon Family Bloggers Photo Shoot out, I just had to agree! I love taking photos! Do I really need to mention this especially since there are so many pieces ‘evidence’ on my blog? Friends would know that I’m never without my camera in my bag and I just love snapping away, so how to reject right? Besides, Sentosa with my family sounds like an enjoyable weekend to look forward to…AND, my fellow M.I.C.E mommies would be there too! We got to choose our favourite Canon camera to use, and I chose the new PowerShot G1X Mark II. I have heard great things about the…

My little boy, Jerome.
Today is a day that I rejoice! Finally, the 3 weeks of solo parenting is OVER! The government returned my husband to me last night and even though I was stuck in a class till almost midnight, there is so much to be happy about! One of them is, of cos, moving back into my own home later today. Can’t wait. I miss my bed! While the solo parenting has been somewhat tough and extremely tiring, I got to bond a lot with my little kid, Jerome. He was stuck to me at the hip almost everyday when I was on leave for a week and boy, did we have fun!…

Browtisan – Perfect eyebrows, everyday.
I have been thinking about getting my brows done for a long, long time and I recently did it at Browtisan! I mad love my perfect eyebrows now and every day, I spend a lot less time in front of mirror preparing. The husband even commented that I get ready real quick! I reckon this has got to be one of the best choices I’ve made. Do you spend 10-15 mins on your brows every day? Or maybe lesser time but a lot of effort on drawing the perfect brows? You just got to read this post and my brow embroidery experience at Browtisan. So why do I want to get my brows done?…

Where we stay in Bangkok – Tune Hotel
I am going to share about Tune Hotel, Asoke today. It is the hotel that I stayed in during my recent family trip to Bangkok, Thailand. I have stayed in quite a few hotels in Bangkok, but mostly the full service, more expensive hotels. Not because I am atas okay. Some trips’ accommodation were not booked by me. Other times, it was mostly to suit everyone’s expectations and requests. I’m easy when it comes to hotels on travel trips. I can accept anything that comes with a decent bed and toilet in the room! Com’on. I usually don’t spend a lot of time in the hotel when I am overseas anyway.…

My funny Jerome Choo.
I am gonna share some of the funny antics of Jerome, just for laughs. You know how kids always do the weirdest things, and the funniest things.. without a worry or care in the world. They simply don’t care what others think. The floor is Jerome’s best friend. This kid, he crawls on those smooth floors, under the tables, out and about all the cabinets thinking that it is a playground. I had the shop assistant scold me for it. Uhh, it’s not like I never did try to restrain him, but he has a mind of his own! He found it so fun, I don’t have the heart to…
