Hop. Search. Unscramble with LolliBox
Psssst… LolliBox is having a contest and giving away 5 Lollliboxes! Details at end of post! I bought a pet cockroach from my recent Bangkok vacation for Jerry because i thought it was fun (yes, i do have a wicked sense of humour and its fake by the way. Made of plastic). I love nature and animals, insects and i think they are amazing. Cockroaches or not, they all have a life of their own and they are just surviving in this world, co-existing with us and this is something that i would like to impart that to my kids. The love of nature and the respect of every single life…

A visit to Mainland Tropical Fish Farm in Pasir Ris.
I recently discovered that Jerry has a love for fishes. I think his first few interactions with live fishes (not those we put on the table) are from the koi pond in his favourite uncle’s house (a relative’s place). They used to have a huge koi pond beneath their balcony and Jerry gets to catch the small fishes with a small net. They have since renovated their house and had the koi pond removed and Jerry has been asking for fishes every single time we are there. So last week, after a somewhat packed saturday (cooking class in the morning, family photo shoot at noon and a workshop in the…

The fall that cost me $8K.
I don’t know why it took me so long to write about Jerry’s fall that cost me $8K. I meant to write about it some time back, but i guess work took the most of out of me then. The husband is going away for 9 days and i’m up for solo parenting for the next week and more. I moved back to my mum’s today to ease my traveling time from depositing and fetching the kids and got triggered about writing this post because i’m back at where the incident happened… It was a sunday morning and i was still in bed when my mum frantically knocked BANGED onto…

Things Jerry says #5 – Respect for the nation
The husband sent me to the airport in the wee hours of the morning some weeks back when I was heading to Bangkok. On the way home, the national anthem was playing on national radio… D: *sings along with the national anthem* Jerry, do you know how to sing? J: papa! Must keep quiet (while national anthem is playing) D: …… Hilarious. Things kids say! At not even 3 years old, this kid already learnt respect for the nation! Not bad, not bad at all. (P.s. I claim no credit in this. I really got to attribute this to the school and their teachings) If you like this post, read…

Things Jerry says #4 – the power of negotiation.
Things Jerry says: The negotiator I can’t emphasise how much this kid amaze me all the time. I know that I said it many many times, but I guess I still need to say it mainly because I am so proud of him (or annoyed!) and it is a moment worth recording down. And mummies are always proud of their little one, however small an achievement because to us, they mean the world. A couple of days ago, this kid isn’t on the best of behaviour. He refused to comply to any instruction and we were rushing out of the house for a party. I needed him to sit in…

OSIM uShape Review
I attended a OSIM uShape blogger event a month ago and everyone has been asking me about the OSIM uShape ever since i posted pictures of it on my social media platforms. Is the OSIM uShape good?

So, what exactly is the OSIM uShape? How can the uShape help in trimming fats? OSIM…

CNY Reunion Lunch with my 99 year old grandfather
This Chinese New Year has been a rather tiring one for me. Those who follow me on instagram (@cherieladie) would have been wondering whether i was in Singapore or Malaysia on the eve of Chinese New Year because it felt that i as appearing in 2 places on the same day. I was. I asked my mum if they could have reunion lunch instead of dinner. I asked the husband if he was OK that we zipped in in the wee hours and arrive to have lunch with my 99 year old grandpa before zipping out to have reunion dinner with his grandpa. with a stroke of luck, everything fell…

Jerry starts drinking – KAMPAI!
Like father, like son. Jerry starts drinking young (haha! I meant to dig at the husband!). Over the weekend, we had dinner out one day in a restaurant and this funny kid of mine suddenly decided that with every single sip of water, he needs to kampai! Its super hilarious and entertaining to watch and we heard giggles from the tables around us. The best part? He insisted on finishing the cup water (punctuated with a kampai at every sip) before we can leave. It was one of those days where i wasn’t in a hurry to go anywhere and i just indulged in him and let him have…

Cookies baking class at TOTT for Zachary’s 4th Birthday.
Jerry spent Christmas at a cookies baking class at TOTT! I almost forgot to jot this down but happen to chance upon some pictures on my flickr sets. We attended a really cool birthday party for Zachary 4th birthday. It was a cookie baking class and jerry’s first attempt at baking! We were slightly late and when we got there, everyone has started!! Each kid was given a tray, a lump of cookie dough, some chocolate chips, a paper hat and there were cookie cutters on the table for every one to share. Each table has about 6 kids on the table and there was sufficient space for everyone to…

Things Jerry Says #1
The kid has been sprouting sentences and arguments like an adult and he surprises me every single day. Like… woah! Where did he learn that from? and since its a brand new year and a brand new blog, i am going to chronicle his funny conversations in numeric order. I know i posted some before previously, but i guess i’ll start counting somewhere. Over the holiday, before we headed out for lunch.. der went to his bonnet and did some engine servicing. Jerry & Jerome was both strapped in the car before der went on to do his stuff. Jerry: Why isnt the car moving and where is papa? Me:…
