In Part 1 of this review of Kids Stop, Singapore's newest science centre for children, I covered the areas in the main hall at Kids Stop. At the back of the main hall, there is a doorway that leads you out into a corridor that surrounds the omnitheatre. Here you will find a number of separate rooms with more interesting play/learning sections such as these: First up is a room enticingly named Critters. Here you'll find cages with live specimens of, yes, little critters. From cute little ... read more

Tea, anyone?
Tea, anyone?The kids and I had some fun with a piece of 3D street art, also known trick art, that we stumbled upon during lunch.Demonstrating how to walk on water.Teetering on the edge."Don't fall in, Meimei!"Thirsty little caffeine addicts.Noey had been learning about trick art last semester at school so he was very enthusiastic about taking pics and turned out to be a much better model than I expected him to be. It was so random but fun!If you're interested to take some fun pics of your own, ... read more
Looking Spiffy with FOX Kids and Baby
I don't consider myself much of a shopper.(Ok husband, you can quit rolling your eyes now.)Seriously, I don't buy many things except for groceries, books, and erm, maybe many random frivolous items for my ever-growing craft stash. But kids' clothes are a different matter. I admit I have a weakness for buying kiddy clothing for my kids. For one thing, it's so cute! Have you seen the options that they have available these days, especially for little girls? I don't know how many times I've picked ... read more
Crossing Swords at Absolute Fencing
I'm always looking for activities we can do as a family and fencing? That wasn't one I would have thought of.But when we were invited by Absolute Fencing to a family fencing session, I was pretty excited. Primarily because Noey has been asking about fencing lessons for a while. I had actually previously brought him for a trial assessment at a fencing club not far from our home but was unable to find a suitable time slot. I knew he was going to be thrilled. And the second reason was that I was ... read more

Motherhood Is Gain:12 Benefits of Being A Mummy
A fellow Mum sent the above cartoon to a Whatsapp group I'm in as a Mother's Day greeting and I had to laugh. And promptly send it on to other Mums. Because it is quite true, isn't it? A Mum's job is tough and it never ends. But I think sometimes, we get a little too caught up with how hard and tiring motherhood can be and we forget to talk about how great it is too. Yes, motherhood is one of the toughest and most important jobs around, but it is also one of the most satisfying and rewarding ... read more
Shell FuelSave Blogger Challenge 2014: Drive and Save with Shell
No sooner had we returned from our relaxing holiday, than it was back to the grind.For me, that means getting back behind the wheel of our trusty ol' car, which I affectionately call my office. I am, after all, the chief chauffeur of the household, amongst other things.I wish I could say that I've always been very diligent about managing my fuel usage and maximising my fuel efficiency, but that wouldn't be true. My husband and I do monitor our fuel usage, though this doesn't go much beyond ... read more
Asian Spice Kids: Star Anise, Superstar! {Giveaway}
Being an almost 100% English speaking household, I'm more than little concerned about my kids' ability to master the Chinese language.It's not that we haven't tried speaking more Chinese at home. In fact, when Noey was born, we seriously considered having one parent speak exclusively to him in Chinese. Except, erm, have you heard me speak Chinese? Right. I really didn't want any child of mine growing up speaking the kind of Chinese that I was speaking, with my limited vocabulary and questionable ... read more
