When September rolls round, you know it's that time when Buskers hit the streets in Sentosa for the annual Sentosa Buskers Festival!During our recent holidays to London and Sydney, we had the opportunity to watch buskers in action, and we were mostly awed by the high standard of some of of these acts. There isn't a culture for such street acts locally, which is why it is a real treat to be able to catch the interesting acts at the Sentosa Buskers Festival. There are various acts scattered around ... read more
Mindchamps Childminding Service at Paragon {Giveaway}
Ever had an hour, maybe two to kill in town with your child in tow and not know what to do? You might like to consider MindChamps Child Minding Service at Paragon. I didn't know that MindChamps offered such a service until we were recently invited to try it out. Essentially the Child Minding Service offers parents the attractive proposition of having their child meaningfully engaged and learning under the care of MindChamps' early education experts while parents tend to other ... read more
Barbie Live!
It's rare that Meips and I get an evening out together. Which was why when the opportunity came up for me to have a Mummy-and-daugther date to watch Barbie LIVE! at the Mastercard Theatres, I was interested, though a tiny bit hesitant.Barbie, well, she really is a character with her fans and detractors, isn't she? There are those who believe that Barbie promotes an unhealthy body image with her unrealistic vital statistics, and similarly, those who criticise her for encouraging girls to be ... read more
Two-And-A-Half Going on Big Girl
Before I had my little girl, I didn't know what to expect. I suspect I imagined a little doll to play dress-up with and girly fun. Sugar and spice and all things nice.My little girl has turned out to be quite a different kettle of fish. She's feisty and determined, with a stubborn streak to match her Daddy's. Two-and-a-half years is really an adorable age, as she comes into her own and seeks to establish her place in this world. She desperately tries to catch up with her gor-gor, and whatever he ... read more
Sydney 2013: Powerhouse Museum
I've decided that I'd dedicate a few weekends to finishing up my travel posts. We've had such wonderful experiences that I think it's a pity not to share! I hope these posts will be useful to those planning their Sydney trips, especially those with young kids. You can find the whole series of my Sydney posts here, and also, on clicking my newly created link on my sidebar for travel ideas.Today's post is about Powerhouse Museum, one of the more kid-friendly museums around. Despite having having ... read more
Things We Make With Lego: Spectacles!
The last day of Term 3 is typically a celebration for Teachers' Day the next day, and this year, Noey's kindy decided that the theme for the day would be "Through the Looking Glass". The instructions: come in quirky spectacles and party clothes that can happen only in your dreams.As usual I had forgotten about this, only to realise early in the week that we needed to put something together for Thursday. I was sighing to the husband about needing to get out materials to construct an interesting ... read more
BBQ Under the Stars at the Port of Lost Wonder
In less than a week, the September school holidays will be upon us! I honestly barely caught my breath in August and here we are in September already.If you, like me, are wondering what to do with the kids over the week long break, you might want to start off on the right note by checking out Port of Lost Wonder's BBQ Under The Stars, which will be happening this Saturday (and every first Saturday of the month, all the way till Dec).I've always thought Port of Lost Wonder (POLW) was an excellent ... read more
Children’s Season 2013: Art Garden at the Singapore Art Museum
One of my favourite events every Children's Season is Art Garden at the Singapore Art Museum. This year however, the combination of us being out of the country and Singapore being clouded over with haze during the June holidays meant that we missed out on most of the events. Despite this, I still made it a point to visit Art Garden and I'm so glad I did, because I really liked this year's installations. I felt this was the best edition yet, though I know some people who thought it was the worst. ... read more
Honey Butter Popcorn
Here's a fun little recipe that I've penned only because it was part of my son's homework. Noey's kindy class is doing a project on food for their class project this term and I think it's been a lot of fun. All their learning has been centred on the theme and I think the Noey is really enjoying it. When his class made a field trip to HealthZone at the Health Promotion Board earlier in the term to learn about the food we eat and what makes a healthy diet, Noey came home spewing information ... read more
Art Alive at WowArt: Getting Started
Noey is like me in many ways. He's very much a mini-me, to an extent sometimes that it's a bit freaky. But one way in which he is certainly different from me is his love for drawing and art and craft. I love art and can certainly spend hours looking at and admiring artwork, but put a pencil in my hand and I'm lost. I guess I just don't know how to translate what I see onto paper. Noey on the other hand doesn't have this problem. He loves doodling and it can entertain himself for good lengths of ... read more
