Today I was plesantly surprised when I opened my in-box. There was an e-mail stating that I have made it to the FRONT PAGE of Top Mama. WooHOO!!! I seriously can’t remember when I put in my badge in.  Refering back to the post I made at Astromama it states 22 April 2008.After a brief calculation - It took me 4 months to make it to the front page. Would like a favour from all my friends and readers to vote for me so that I remain longer on the front page of Top Mama Thanks in advance... Read Full Story

Ever since I started on decluttering the house I have wanted to spruce up and modernize the study room with a new computer desk. My existing computer desk is not ergonomically designed and under continued long term usage may result in poor hand positioning and related illnesses under constant strain. It also doesn’t have sufficient space for the stacks of papers and books that I need to refer to while doing my research for my upcomming e-book, administrative work for the online travel...

This week I am tooting about my 19mth old. I’m amazed by the antics he can come out with just to get around the house rules that I set. #1- Do not come into the kitchen while I am cooking What he does ( and I swear he must have learned it from his older brother as Ryan did the same thing before). He doesn’t walk in he backs in… turns around crawls or walks backwards into the kitchen. #2- Finish your food before you can go and play. “Mommy come!!” he will yell. As I approach him he will take... Read Full Story

As part of my new monthly resolution I am trying to get hubs more interactive with the boys on the weekend. We have decided to bring then roller blading or bike riding at the park. Last weekend was a blast. We have been going to  different parks every weekend to spend a fun filled afternoon with the kids.  We are blessed to have so many different parks with a large playground section around. On Saturday we visited the Pasir Ris park as I wanted to let the boys go on the pony rides available... Read Full Story

Flickr Photo by Elsewhere Milk, the main source of nutrient for growth in babies.  Both my babies were breastfed when they were young. The elder boy, Ryan, was breastfed for 5months before moving on  to formula milk. Younger boy, Roy, is has been breastfed for 19 months and is still in the process of being weaned. He strongly rejects any form of powdered milk so I have resorted to give him fresh milk. Full Fat fresh milk. Moo Milk is an interesting  and educational website explaining the... Read Full Story

I  have been working on a few projects since the start of the year and writing my own E-book is one that I am trying out. One of the e-book that I am writing about is Multilingual Parenting. It is a topic that I am deeply interested in as I aim to groom my kids into multilinguists. I mentioned about my idea for this book during the Mother’s Day interview I had a few months ago. There has been two questions which I have been searching around for answers. I was fortunate to have the assistance... Read Full Story

Photo by Carf Last weekend  we went to a different church from our usual place .It was a real eye opener for me. The church service was “Hellish” for me.  I was greatly sadden at how the fellow worshipers were being irreverence in GOD’s sanctuary. During the mass they were busy chatting among themselves on unrelated issues , replying to text messages on their mobile.  I could close an eye if it was a young child asking questions about the sermon that is being preached or parts of the mass he...

My 1st Header After spending nearly 2 days last week on the blog template design, running through the different pages which had various free Wordpress Templates I settled on this new Cutline Template. It has a customizable header which allows me to change the graphic header easily. I removed a few PPC ads that I had which were not $$ generating. I made the look more streamlined and shifted some directories which were in the footer to the Blogroll page so it did not take too much time for... Read Full Story

Shopping has always been a favourite past time for me.  Ever since the kids came along the time I have for slowly browsing through the various aisle at the department store has greatly lessen. Now  each time we go shopping with the boys in tow  it will have to be a 5 min pit stop grab and go outing. Lingering along the aisle may bring along with it unwanted purchases by the  boys ever eager grabbing hands. They will be busy picking up stuff to examine or even attempt to unwrap/open. Having a...
