During our recent holiday in Langkawi, we took the boys to experience Langkawi cable car. The SkyCab ticket is inclusive of 3D Art Langkawi which is located just next to the iconic Langkawi Cable Car station in Oriental Village hence we took this opportunity to explore this interactive art museum.  With 21,000 square feet build up, it is the largest 3D art museum in Malaysia and second largest in the world.  The interactive 3D Art […]

It’s the final day of 2018 academic calendar. Ethan bids farewell to some of his classmates as the school reshuffled their classes hence some of them won’t be in the same class next year.  Ethan did good, finishing in the Top 3 in his class as well as for the entire Primary 5.  He was also more active this year, competing and winning several Science and Art contests. Next year will be a tough one […]

Handbags, sling bags…which do u prefer? I’m a backpack kind of girl. The only bag I have with me are my eyebags  I received a backpack as a gift recently. It is totally what I like in a bag. Not too big with lots of compartments yet still looking very feminine. This is the bag I am talking about. I love how aesthetically pleasing it is to the eyes. The size is just right for me. […]

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines: Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications. It is the end of the academic year for 2018 hence I took the advantage to sign Ethan up for a Parent-Kid Experimental Workshop with me at […]

We were in Langkawi recently during the Deepavali holidays for a much needed family vacation. We did not plan much as all we wanted to do was to chill and relax. The last I went to Langkawi was more than 15 years ago during my courting days with Darling so we do not have much recollection of what Langkawi has to offer.  I was browsing Facebook one day looking for information on Langkawi when I […]

I dislike last-minute shopping. I always prepare stuffs early especially when it comes to special occasions such as festive celebrations and school related items. I prefer to shop early to avoid the massive crowd closer to school reopening. Would you believe it if I tell you that I’ve settled Ethan’s school uniform as well as school shoes for next year? We went shopping last weekend and I am so relieved that everything is already sorted […]

Ethan celebrated Children’s Day last week at his school. He requested for me to bake something to bring to his class. I asked if he would like to bring a cake or cookies. He said since he already brought cake last year, he would like to bring cookies this time. He requested for his favourite Chocolate Chip cookies so I baked him several tubs to share with his friends as well as to give some […]

I shared his videos in this blog as well as on Facebook and received many inquiries from curious moms wanting to start their little kids on drums too. I will continue sharing so you can see his progress and to know what the exam songs are for Trinity Rock & Pop Drums new syllabus. If you are planning to start your kid […]

Don’t you hate it when you buy bean sprouts only for them to turn bad at home just because you delayed cooking them? You can actually grow them in an empty milk carton yourself. All it takes is FOUR days so plan your menu and grow them 4 days before in order to get fresh bean sprouts in your kitchen any time, any day. Here is how you can grow your own bean sprouts in […]

Ethan celebrated his 11th birthday in July while Ayden turned 5 end of August. I often wonder, where have all the time gone?  My boys are growing so fast, soon it will be back to only me and Darling when they both leave home to further their studies. Will it be honeymoon period again for us? Will Darling still see me the same as the beautiful bride he married back then? While it is not […]

You’ve watched Ayden play the simplified version of Uptown Funk from his Grade 1 book. You’ve probably watched me trying to play that same song too. Yes, the keyword there is TRY as I am still unable to play it accurately today. Now let’s see how big bro Ethan does it but of course he’ll be playing the ORIGINAL and COMPLETE version of Uptown Funk. 

I’ll just put it up in the blog that Ethan received his 2nd Poom Black Belt in Taekwondo last weekend so that I won’t forget. This is because it takes quite some time before he can take the next grading test. I remember he took the 1st Poom Black Belt grading test about one and a half year ago. I guess it takes a longer time to climb the ladder in the black belt category.  […]

What have I been reading? No, it’s not the WHALE book. I stopped reading that book midway as my heart can’t accept how absurd everything is. I have a simple mind. I can’t digest complicated matters. I prefer something straight to the point. I love books with lots of graphics and my favourite book distributor – Pansing knows exactly just that. They have recently sent me a copy of Guinness World of Records 2019. YES! The world’s […]

Hello hello! It’s time for another update on Ayden’s drumming. The new Trinity Rock & Pop Drums 2018 syllabus has really some awesome songs in it such as the classic hit Billie Jean and recent hit Uptown Funk and Seven Nation Army. The rest of the songs are quite catchy but I am not familiar with them yet Ayden is determined to learn them all. These days Ayden spends less time on electronic gadget because […]
