Healthy dining starts with ONAKA.
when i first heard about ONAKA, i was pretty blown away. what?! a “no white bread, no white rice, no white sugar” policy?! all-natural ingredients without artifical additivies, chemicals, colorings, flavourings, MSG and trans-fats?? AND 50% of the menu is vegetarian? that sounds like planting roses on mars – impossible. but it is impossibly true. I was invited some weeks back to a food tasting session with ONAKA, short form for Optimum Nutrition And Kitchen Arts. I’m guessing the ‘kitchen’ bit stems from ONAKA’s history where it first started out as a cooking school, but that’s not the important part. the important part is the food. The restaurant serves “Conscious…

The funny kid.
I was looking through my old phone relatively new but retired phone (HTC One X) through the cracked screen and was backing up the videos onto my youtube when i came upon this funny clip. We took this while grocery shopping at the mall one day. The kid was overjoyed with carrying our shopping, and REFUSED to let it go even though he was super tired and dozing off! he threw a tantrum every single time we tried to take the bag away. Hilarious! it’s one of our favourite videos of the kid, so i’m sharing this with all of you. enjoy. p.s. the video is taken a while back…

I’ve been busy.
and so, if you haven’t already know.. I am back at work since last week. life has been pretty good to me and we didnt have much issues working out the logistics of kids and everything else. so, the schedule for the past week has been pretty much like this:– 720am: everyone wakes up. daddy makes milk for jerry, I express milk, bathe and get ready for work. – 800am: daddy sends jerry to school and waits for me downstairs once he is done.-815-830am: I bring baby out to my mum if he’s awake or just leaves him in the cot if he’s sleeping and pop downstairs for a…

Discovering the artistic side of me with heART Studio.
it's been a while that I did something for myself. take on classes, learn a new skill etc. the last time I attended a class of some sort for myself was learning the Japanese language and that was many many years back, way before I got married. with smb turning 1, I managed to join a bake class and now, an ART CLASS with all the celebratory activities! thank you smb! there are loads more worth celebrating for, I reckon. heh. and so, I spent 2 hours today away from the kids (my mum helped babysit one, and the husband the other while running errands) and tried to discover my…

Jerry goes for the Cold Storage Kids Run 2013!
if you have met or seen jerry in real life, you will know that i have a very active boy on my hands. he sprints away for some fun the moment an opportunity opens up, or is ever ready for a game of catching where he runs and mummy/daddy chases after him, or around a pillar (he loves the pillar thing!). so we were really excited that Jerry is finally of age to join the cold storage kids run this year! i was pretty sure he’ll be a champ and run ALL the way, judging at how he loves to run, all the time. turns out, things never quite happens…

my nails in may.
I havent had the time to do individual nail posts anymore… but im still trying to keep up with my personal nail me-time as a mum of two. most days, I only paint when everyone is asleep or when the husband and my mum is both around to help handle the kids. sometimes, its a struggle and I split the removal and painting into 2 days with whatever pockets of time I have. I know, almost sounds like mission impossible right? but I love my nails/polishes too much to leave it bare. so here’s what I wore on my nails in may! they are mostly simple design because I…

[Advertorial] Abbott Nutrition Toddler Vocabulary Questionnaire
Today, i’m gonna share how Abbott Nutrition Toddler Vocabulary Questionnaire will make motherhood and tracking your kids’ progress a little easier. If you have been following my blog for quite a bit, you’ll read about how I used to track Jerry’s progress and the words he knows and recently, I blogged about the conversation I had with him. Over the last 5-6 months, there doesn’t seemed to be much progress and i admit, I got a little worried especially since my nephew who is a few months older and other kids in the same age range seemed to be spewing a lot more words and sentences while jerry is still pretty…

Jerry’s school outing at the Animal Resort.
On the second week of Jerry starting school, the school had an excursion! Since Jerry is amongst one of the youngest in the school and is the *new* kid, the school didn’t recommend letting him go on the excursion unless i tag along. I knew the excursion would do Jerry good since i always believe in exposing him to nature (as compared to technology) so i signed him (and myself) up! it is a great chance for him to interact with animals in real life and it was also a good opportunity for jerry to get to know his classmates/teachers better. i sure did have an adventure chasing jerry down…
