I like the jigsaw puzzles from The Better Toy Store.  They have age appropriate ones and are of good quality.  Thick and sturdy, to be used for a long long time. I actually bought this one for Toria, but Donald loved it and conquered it on 1st try.  Toria, on the other hand, didn’t quite [...]

School Holidays… besides hols classes, the other thing would be to bring them all over the island to catch shows. This year, there was Ben 10, Transformers, Madagascar, Dora etc.  Ben 10 was a MUST.  So we went to United Square today, for the 2pm show.  Weekday, so it wasn’t too crowded. We queued up [...]

Brought the 3 kids for a swim, here’s Lizzie, all wrapped up in a towel, ready for her shower. If not for the “lay-chay-ness” of coordinating the showering of 3 kids and myself,  I love to bring them to the pool everyday, cos it knocks them out and they fall asleep so easily when I [...]

Last year, she bought a set Rainbow Cleaning System as her mothers’ day present, and she was very satisfied with it.  She told me that it [...]

With the recent Iphone craze, Daddy bought me a 16GB white Iphone as a valentine’s day present.  He wanted to get me the blackberry bold, but also thought that I might be intrigued by the Iphone, since it is a cult status item.  So we did, ported the number over from M1 to Singtel, and [...]

2008 has come and gone… even though the economy is bad, sentiments are bad, but I must say that 2008 had been a good year for us. Why? Well, we moved into our new place in the beginning of the year and absolutely still enjoying it; Daddy started a new job; Donald managed to get [...]

We saw something similar at the Sol Playground cafe, and thought, what a cool idea!  So we borrowed 1 of the chairs and sent it to Sisters’ Dreams at Simpang Bedok, where we ordered all our furniture from.  The boss, Agnes, took measurements and voila!  Here is our version!  It blends nicely with all our [...]

After being on the waiting list for nearly 2 years, last December, we suddenly received a call from Nanyang Kindergarten, notifying us that there is an opening. It came so timely, because we have decided to withdraw Donald from Chiltern House, because Chiltern House kept increasing their already expensive school fees. Chiltern House costs us [...]
