Philips Avance XL Airfryer – Air is the new oil!
*sponsored post* Air? the new oil???? hmmmmm… for those of you who know me…i am quite the airfryer fan. it was one of the first few appliances that we bought for the new house even before we started the renovations(!!). there is so much to like about the appliance – cooking with little or no oil! Since then, i have also triggered enough interest in my mother-in-law who eventually got a set for herself too. #truestory Here’s a picture of der carting home our airfryer, taken many, many moons ago.I was really stoked when i was invited to the new Philips Avance XL Airfryer launch at Jewel Box some weeks…

Yo! In case you guys are wondering where i am…. i’m still alive, but barely kicking! Life has been really busy and i hardly have much time to spend with the kids, much less blog. so, yeah. but, i’m here to out-do myself because i jumped on the bandwagon and got onto a new (micro) blogging platform.. and in case you haven’t heard, i’m on dayre.me. dayre.me/cherieladieI kinda like that it somewhat document my day and i can upload random pictures and do random snippets at any time i feel like it and still collates it into a daily entry. the entries there are mostly nonsensical and totally random, and…

old school bubble fun.
sometimes, i look at my kids and think that their childhood are a lot more complicated – clouded with loads of toys & gadgets (ipads, computer, tvs etc). i remembered growing up with very little toys and most of the time, i was exercising my imagination with existing furniture playing pretend all the time. i remembered using the bamboo sticks that my mum used to hang our clothes as some super long sword in a fight.. haha! those were the days. i recently found a packet of old school bubble while packing my room. I think der bought them a couple of years back (pre-kids) while we were in arab…

Flashback Friday #4 – Have you seen a monkey with blue testicles?
with a subject title like that, i must have caught your attention… haven’t i? a monkey with blue testicles! heh heh. I’m just going to share the most extraordinary monkey i have ever seen, while holidaying in Zambia, Africa a couple of years ago. one with blue testicles! really! see? i aint lying.. I know i sounded perverted, but they are really fascinating to look at (the monkeys, not just the balls) and of cos, i had to snap some pictures! I guess no one would believe me unless i have pictorial evidence right? My uncles who were on the same trip as me couldn’t believe their ears when i…

Product Review: Philip Avent Breast Pump (Single Electric)
**Sponsored Product Review** My breast feeding journey hadn’t been a really smooth one but i sort of persevered through it, reminding myself that breast is best. based on that one single notion, i pushed on no matter how tired i feel and how tough it is. those who have been around reading for a while would know that i had been unable to latch my kids – BOTH my kids. As much as i tried a lot harder with the 2nd kid, the situation and the circumstance just means it was not meant to be. without being able to latch, the breast pump is really my best friend in the…

Flashback Friday #3 – Travelling in Zambia
I mentioned in my previous flashback friday post that i nearly got kicked by a zebra. So, this week… thought i’ll show you the zebras and the close proximity we were in at the hotel (zambezi sun) during my stay while travelling in Zambia. wild zebras roaming around the hotel grounds. watching and observing them in such close proximity is an amazing experience. my uncle discreetly approaching. ta-dah! Zebra butt. The zebra in the last picture is the one that attempted to kick me. Seconds after i took this image, i happened to turn and walk away. That moment was when the zebra lifted his hind legs and gave a…

Sentosa Spooktacular 2013 – Date night with the husband.
I was super thrilled to receive the invitation for Sentosa Spooktacular this year. I am always game for an adventure or thrills but as a mum of 2 boys, i barely have much time for myself lest do anything remotely near like attending a spooky halloween event. but receiving the media invitation just gave me the perfect excuse to have a perfect date night with the husband and inject some thrills in our lives. or love. i know what you are thinking. how “romantic” right? at a scary, spooky setting?! Well, it definitely was.. cos the husband was holding my hands the entire time! (joking!!) our “couple bands” for the…

Strutting down the runway at the FOX Kids Fall/Winter Fashion Show 2013…
…NOT! It’s more like crawling down the runway, but…. jerome isn’t one of the models, even though he was decked in FOX’s gear that day.. I just plonked him there cos i thought it was really funny when he looked like he was relishing in all the attention and enjoying himself! totally rocking it on the (almost) empty runway. so, potential model to be?? i really love this round little meat ball of mine – all his squishy fats and cuddly body. makes me want to give him a tight squeeze every single time. some weeks back, i was invited to the FOX Kids Fall/Winter Fashion Show held at Paragon…

Flashback Friday #2 – The Amazing Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya – the smoke that thunders)
I never completed journaling down my south africa trip from 4 years ago. the last i checked… my last entry was at day 6 of the trip… and i had to stop cos i was going to be late for a flight to orlando. ahhhh.. orlando. a trip that i never got round to blogging about at all. maybe i’ll do that for the next flash back friday instead. i totally miss travelling pre-kids. you know, the luxury of dropping everything and flying last minute? the thrill of not knowing where i’ll be and what’s my next travel destination. adhoc travels used to my kind of thing, i realised. still,…
