First Visit to Kidzania Singapore!

Made our first visit to Kidzania Singapore on 24 September 2016. Had always wanted to go on a weekday, thinking that it would have lesser people. Until recently when I got feedbacks from my friends who visited Kidzania SG on Sat and Sun, I decided to go on a Saturday.

I went to their website and purchased one adult ($30+) and one child ($50+) tickets which cost me a bomb even after Maybank Credit Card discount! Well... for me to pay $30+ for an adult ticket, I thought that there would be things inside there that could entertain me! (Wishing~~ Hoping~~)

So, we headed down to Kidzania early (I felt so... hehe!) and reached their "Departure Hall" about 10.15a.m.. No queue at the "Departure Hall" and Big J got his Maybank card and our wrist bands quite fast!

Braised Pork Rice (Lu Rou Fan)

Yesterday was Hari Raya Haji and I stayed home with my 2 little munchkins.
It was a public holiday and it also marked the end of my September holiday... *Cry*

Karen and Siew Boon decided to come over to my house for lunch and hence, I gotta think of dishes that they might like. As usual, laziness kicked in and I told myself, "The recipes must be easy and as little things for me to prepare as possible!!!"

I chanced upon ECKitchenSG and I finally found a dish that I loved (did not really care about whether Karen and Siew Boon like it or not...) and most importantly, SIMPLE TO PREPARE AND DO! That is.... BRAISED PORK RICE!

Fuse Beads (HAMA Beads and PYSSLA beads)

A year ago, I had purchased a big tub of PYSSLA beads from Ikea Singapore.

It cost SGD9.90 and there are many, many, many beads! I went to google and it mentioned that there is about 15000 beads in a tub! For SGD9.90, it is a very good deal! 

I had also purchased the beads shapes from IKEA at SGD2.90! I was chirping like a bird! (Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!)

Review: Leapfrog Reader

I had purchased a Leapfrog Reader for Big J during a Robinsons Sales in June 2015. It came in a bundle which includes the Leapfrog pen and 2 of the compatible books: Cars and Brave. It comes together with a Sample booklet for Big J to try on the writing and also, pages from various books for the Leapfrog pen.

Initially with just that 2 came-along books, Big J was not interested in them. I then purchased the other books, mainly for kindergarten level, hoping he might gain interest in them. True enough, he started reading them. 

Kids Stop Visiting!

It has been about a year since Kids Stop started its business.

We have been there for 4 times already and yesterday, was the 5th time!

Recently Kids Stop revamped their membership and is quite attractive than before!

Similar to the instructions of Colours, thus I am not going to repeat myself here again.

Lastly, enjoy your bonding time with your child when doing this activity!

Teaching a Preschooler (To Know - Basic)

It is not easy to teach a preschooler.

About a year ago….

Looking at other kids of the same age as Jay, being smart and able to do a lot of things that he couldn't do makes me worried. I tried to teach him based on what I saw on the news feed (Facebook) about those kids of about his age.

I got frustrated when Jay did not understand what I was teaching, even after repeating it umpteen times.

I started screaming and shouting and then, he was about to weep.

I started mumbling to myself, “Why other people can do it and you can’t?”

(One of the things I he could not do was drawing diagonal lines…)
