We went back to my mom’s place last weekend to help her “gelek Kueh Ee”. I go back hometown at least once a month but it has been ages since I last went back specially for this as we always avoided going back to Melaka during this time of the year due to the horrendous traffic jam. Somehow this year we decided to just brave the jam and make it home after receiving this picture […]

I can’t believe I am saying this but WHITE canvas shoes will soon be a thing of the past in schools in Malaysia.

I have always loved white shoes. I mean we were not given a choice back then. Love it or hate it, […]

When Ethan was younger, we went up to Genting fortnightly as we had the annual pass to their theme park then. It is only an hour drive from our house hence we don’t mind going up that often.

The rainy season is here and this situation is expected to last till the end of the year. With the boys cooped up at home unable to go to the playground due to these constant evening showers, I have to think of something to keep them occupied. Children these days get glued to their gadgets easily if we don’t practice certain control over them. With them getting more and more exposed to different types of […]

Sometime early this month, our little Ayden hits the streets in a mission to bring smiles to random strangers. We were pleasantly surprised to see how willing these beautiful strangers are to spend a couple of minutes from their busy life to smile and just be happy ❤️ Would you stop and allow Ayden to take a wefie with you if he approached you? Watch the video here: 

With a blink of an eye, Ayden graduated from preschool last Sunday. If you have been following our journey, you’d know that I homeschooled both Ethan and Ayden during their preschool years. With big brother Ethan, I home-schooled him until he is 6 years old then panicked when someone told me that without a preschool graduation cert he won’t be accepted into primary school. So we quickly looked for a preschool for him but by […]

A reader recently asked if I know of any hotels in Melaka suitable for families with young children as she is planning a trip to this historical city in the third quarter of this year. Immediately I shared with her the video of our recent stay in the Kids’ Suite, Holiday Inn Melaka.

Last week, schools were suddenly closed due to the haze. With 3 days off and nothing to do, Ethan’s friends planned an outing to go ice skating. His friends are all pro-skaters while both my boys have never skated but are keen to learn. So off to the ice skating rink they went. They took advantage of the early bird special whereby if you enter before noon, you’ll get RM5 off the ticket price. We […]

He chose to perform a magic trick. And the best […]
