Children today are exposed to robotics very early in their lives. Robots are aplenty amongst us. Even vacuum cleaners are robots these days. Besides these robots that children encounter every day, there are countless courses easily available for kids to learn the basics of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science among others. Ethan loves robotics. He has shown a keen interest in robots from a very young age so we let him explore further […]

It’s the school holidays and since I have a little more time to spare, I would like to share an insight of Ethan’s journey in improving his grasp on English. I don’t speak, write nor read Chinese so the only language I use at home with the kids is English with a mixture of Bahasa (as I am after all a Peranakan Nyonya). I thought he would not fare too well in the Chinese language […]

The school’s academic year is over and that only means holiday is here! We have a lot planned out for our year end break hence I must make sure the boys are in good health to enjoy our holidays. We just got back from a beach holiday. Both Ethan and Ayden enjoyed getting lots of Vitamin Sea They had so much fun under the sun that it was difficult for me to ensure they eat […]

As parents, we know about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for growing up kids. In particular, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which is a building block of the brain and eyes, as well as Vitamin D which is essential for healthy growth and development. The human brain achieves 90% growth by age 6. During this time it is important that children consume adequate amounts of DHA in their diet to support this period of rapid brain […]

Not too long ago, I blogged about ‘The 3 Most Tiring Parts of Being a Stay At Home Mom’. I mentioned house chores as the most tiring and included the picture below: I recently got myself a whole bunch of new products from KAO along with their guidebook titled “The Secret to My Modern Parenthood”, which contains 12 chapters covering topics and home care tips from Japan ranging from understanding babies, knowing the importance of […]

Growing up, though my Mom did a great job of staying home and taking care of us, it was never in my plan to be like her. I was always that free-spirited person who prefers not to be tied down with chores (especially house chores) and even more horrifying – child care! I much prefer to be working and be someone prominent in the corporate world. Even until the day I delivered Ethan I was […]

Ethan missed an entire week of school earlier this month due to him being under the weather. When he returned to school, he was given a mountain full of homework. He has been really stressed out trying to catch up in school and completing all his outstanding workload. I get him to relax and let him have fun playing games because all work and no play makes Ethan a dull boy. He is very excited […]

“OH NO!” BREAKING NEWS – The world is in peril. LIVE security cameras captured robots stealing thousands of Horlicks packs from the Horlicks factory.

As a lifestyle family blogger, I let my readers take a peek into my life through the pictures and words I share in my blog and other social media. With two kids in tow, it is almost impossible to go around lugging a bulky and heavy DSLR. When Samsung launched the new Samsung NX500 earlier last year that succeeds the core performance of the NX1’s DNA in a portable, compact device designed for everyday use, […]

The recent year end school holidays was very good for us. We managed to visit quite a number of places for short vacations. Since I have kids, I always opt to travel nearby. I prefer to take short and near vacations rather than travelling far for a stretch of time as the kids get tired easily. Ayden is already 2 years old this time when we travelled and he remembers much more things compared to […]

It is the year end and that means the long holiday is here again. Many of us including myself have already made plans for the family. When we are on a holiday, dining out is simply unavoidable. This puts us at risk of consuming contaminated food or drink because food hygiene standards can be extremely low depending on the destination and the season of travel. Children are especially susceptible to Traveller’s Diarrhoea (TD). We learned […]

The emergence of a more health-conscious society in Malaysia are well reflected by the growth of wellness establishments within the country such as gyms, weight management centres as well as organic food and beverage operators. I for one am doing my part in getting my family to eat healthier by planting all of the above organic plants in whatever little space I have at home. Imagine my delight when Zurich Insurance Malaysia Bhd (ZIMB) launched […]

It has been quite a while since our last property hunt. We’ve been put off by the ever so over-populated areas in the Klang Valley that we decided to venture a little further away from Darling’s work place but nearer to our current home. Our hunt led us to Olivina Residences in TTDI Alam Impian. These days, people do not simply invest in properties. We like to put our money into our preferred township. Olivina […]

It was rather disheartening when we received Ethan’s report card late last year. It was not because of his result but more to his growth chart. His height remained the same throughout the entire year while his weight increased a mere 2kg. I poured out my worries on Facebook and many experienced mothers advised me to give Ethan Horlicks for breakfast as it contains 23 growth nutrients such as calcium for strong bones and protein […]

When I received the invitation to attend The Sloane Clinic’s Beauty & Your Fortune Workshop, I accepted it immediately as I am keen to learn more on what my face has to say about me. The Sloane Clinic™ is one of the leading aesthetic clinics in Singapore and Malaysia. I made my way to The Sloane Clinic™ Pavilion KL on a beautiful Saturday morning to attend the workshop. From left to right: Dr Aster Low, […]

There is a new online store in Malaysia that boasts of exclusive brands that are not readily available in Malaysia. Known as GEMFIVE, it has FIVE core categories ranging from Fashion, Electronics, Beauty & Health, Home & Living to Mum & Kids. I was browsing for some office wear since I have none at home and will need one very soon for an upcoming workshop event. Staying at home with two kids have reduced me […]

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point. I home-schooled Ethan when he was younger. I don’t believe in sending him to preschool but as he grows up, I know I will have to eventually expose him to the real world to learn not only on academics but survival skills as well. We decided to enrol him into a public school. […]

I went for a follow-up consultation with regards to the Ultherapy™ treatment I did on 28 January 2015 at The Sloane Clinic, Bangsar. But before I touch more on that, here’s a little recap on Ultherapy™. Ultherapy™ is a FDA approved breakthrough procedure that uses medical ultrasound for non-surgical cosmetic improvement of the skin.  Ultherapy™ works deep below the surface – without harming the outer layer of skin-for dramatic and long-lasting benefits of facial firming, […]

2015 is a brand new year that marks many personal milestones for me. One of them being Darling and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary this year.  I’ll also be turning 38 this year. Oh my, where have the time gone? Like it or not, I’ll be touching the big 4-0 in a couple of years’ time :( As I aged, my skin becomes less firm. It is no longer as tight, causing […]

I have always love Trudy & Teddy’s timeless classic European style with a touch of modernity. I like their fine workmanship and their designs are simply outstanding. I’ve been dressing Ethan up in Trudy & Teddy apparels since it was born in 2010. Ethan was three years old then. * Archive picture of Ethan (3 years old) in Trudy & Teddy top to toe. Imagine my delight when I saw that they will be opening […]

I’ve mentioned numerous times that the long school holiday means being extra busy in the kitchen whipping out one pot wonders for the family. Why one pot? Because having a 15 months old toddler with me limits whatever time I can spend in the kitchen so I try to cook only fast and convenient food for them without compromising on the quality and nutrition of the food. One of my ‘speciality’ is this simple non-baked […]

I’ve written a couple of blog posts on Samsung KidsTime. You may refer to them by clicking here and here. Today I’m going to recap some of the app’s main features and conclude my findings and observations. Before that, I also want to review some of the games and activities on Samsung KidsTime. There are several categories such as: I can SOLVE. The games under this category focus on Math. Ethan’s favourite is the one […]

Darling brought home a new toy for me to play with last week. It’s a HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4515 e-All-in-One Printer. It’s amazing how advanced technology is these days. Gone are the days when a printer’s function is to just print. These days, we can print content from the Web directly from the printer without the need to use the computer! Don’t believe? Well, not any printer can do it but this HP Deskjet […]
