The Shell FuelSave Blogger Challenge 2014.
I have been invited to partake in the Shell FuelSave Blogger Challenge and over the Mother’s Day weekend, I spent a morning learning about Shell FuelSave and fuel efficiency. Having gotten my driver’s license some thirteen years ago, I have been driving quite a bit even though I don’t own a car to my name (apparently, I don’t need to!) and can i say…. the fuel matters! I know some of you regular, everyday drivers might already know this, but I still want to/need to say this because… I know a lot of drivers who doesn’t bother about the car, the fuel efficiency and all. The difference type of fuel does really make…

Getting pampered by Rapellez beauty spa!
*Alert* Giveaway by Rapellez at end of sponsored post! Some weeks back, i plucked up my courage and went for a facial treatment at Rapellez beauty spa. Just to share, i absolutely, hate having someone touch my face and I don’t have the habit of going for facials. When i was much younger, I went once with my aunt and I ended up itching like mad and having red bumps all over my face. It was a sheer torture and obviously bad experience enough to steer clear of it all for many, many years. Well, I’m glad to say Rapellez changed my perception and I can’t wait for the next treatment! Needless…

Jerry turns 3 years old!
Happy 3rd Birthday, Jerry! Mummy & Daddy loves you loads! p.s. Just be more obedient and listen to us ok? My precious first born, Jerry turned 3 years old earlier this week on 5 May. We held 3 separate celebrations for him, one for my relatives, one for der’s relatives and one at the school. It was a weekend of madness and I am still trying to recover from all. The blog has taken a back seat this week because I have been so tired out from fighting sleep issues with Jerry in recent weeks, and he has been up way past midnight.. at 1am? 1.30am? 2.30am? He is at the…

Conversations with the husband #12 – 天使 (Angel)
OK. This isn’t a new conversation but one that has happened maybe a year back or more? I thought I blogged it down before, but I can’t seemed to locate it on the blog (so weird!) so maybe I really didn’t. It’s a really funny and memorable one and I recently got reminded about it while talking to a friend. It happened on a night where Jerry slept early and the husband and I were just chilling around (with our gadgets) in the bed with the sleeping kid wedged between us. D: Look at him sleep. He looks like a 天使 (angel) hor? (looks at kid adoringly) C: Hmmm.. yeah. (the next…

Me time is nails time. A new manicure on my nails!
It’s been a while since i last did my nails! Life really got the better of me for the first few months of 2014, but I reckon that busyness is good and I have never been in a better place than now. Am happy every day and I love it! This is probably one of the longest stretch in my life with bare nails (I usually cannot stand the sight of them), but i wore bare nails since my CNY nails! That’s like > 3 months?! I got inspired by a random picture of someone’s manicure one day and decided to get my fingers working. I don’y really have a…

Fashionista Cherieladie Post #1- because i am yummy mummy (wannabe).
I have been wondering about my blog voice – does my blog represent who I am? I think it mostly does and I think by reading my blog, one can really know how I am exactly in real life. I don’t blog with an alter ego and I’m pretty much what you read here. Or at least, that’s what people have been telling me. My blog is my thoughts, out loud. And simply, just that. So, I thought it would be good to showcase a well-rounded Cherie on the blog as well. Include some of the stuff that I post on my social media in my day to day life,…

An afternoon with Dr. Thomas Armstrong at SmartKids Asia 2014.
Some weeks back, I was privileged to have spend an afternoon with Dr. Thomas Armstrong on understanding the topic – Awakening the Genius in Every Child. I first attended a workshop on the topic at SmartKids Asia 2014, which is held in Singapore Expo and subsequently, we had an informal high tea session with media friends and fellow bloggers at Table Manners (one of my favouite restaurants!), Changi Point on the same day. I was so glad that i dragged the husband along with me that day, because it had been a really insightful afternoon as parents with 2 young toddlers. Much was covered during the workshop session like the…

Do you hate me too? The ‘skinny’ me, i mean.
(source) I get the above a lot. And let me get that context right. People usually say that to me because… #1 – I eat so much but still so skinny. (For those who don’t know me IRL, i really really really eat a lot. Enough to scare away most guys and freak all girls out) #2 – I have 2 kids and am still so skinny. (i get this alot!) #3 – you never exercise and you are still so skinny. I hope I’m not that unpopular that people hate for everything, but I think most of my haters fall into the above categories (or so, I think). I’m probably…
