Gruffalo Kidsfest 2014

{mummy reviws}

Every child would have heard of Gruffalo isn't it? We made a decision to watch The Gruffalo this round and invited my niece to come along with us! Guess what, she is 7 years old and have never of The Gruffalo. This is what I meant by assuming. We don't practice reading the same type of books and I assumed everyone knew about it!!  V was reading it when she was a toddler (I mean I read :P) hahah. We are big fans of Julia Donalson's books and "A Squash and A Squueze" being our mother and daughter favourite (Julia Donaldson's 1st picture book). We managed to catch that favourite in KidsFest 2013! It was just amazing and it lead me to buy most of her books. I bought most of her books she collaborated with Axel Scheffler, David Robert's and Nick Sharatt.  Sad to say, V hasn't picked up my reading joys... YET. I can only hope K has my genes.

Something about the Gruffalo for those who has never read it before. It has sold 5 million copies around the world and  has been translated into 50 lanuages! It was 1st published in 1999 and was even nominted at the Oscars, you can read their awards here. The story is about a cunning mouse who survives the whole woods' journey after encountering a fox, an owl and a snake. He evades danger by creating an fictional creature, The Gruffalo. The reading is fun for it creates a reading aloud joy for the parents which is why the it gets engaging trying to be animated! The inspiration for the Gruffalo came about because (as explained in her autobiography)

"The book was a going to be about a tiger but I couldn't ger anything to rhyme with "tiger: Then I though up the lines:"Silly old fox, doesn't her know/ Ther's no such thing as a ______" and somehow the word "Gruffalo" came to mind to fill the gap. The gruffalo looks the way he does because various things that just happened to rhyme (like toes and nose, black and back)

Kidsfest 2014

We enjoyed the adaptation of the Gruffalo by Kidsfest! The rapport between the actors were in sync and loved how they teased each other. It made what was a slightly long show for a child to a engaging one. V was glued to her seat the whole time but my niece got slightly distracted as she didn't quite understand the joy of the storyline till much later. My dear 15 mo got only into the groove when the music started and when there were dancing! The adults found the bantering between the actors to amusing. Overall it was worth the watch, of course there were parts of the show I found it slightly lengthy.

It was just amazing that the team was able to transform a 5 mins book to a 55 mins play! I read that this production has performed around UK and all over the world from Poland to Germany, from alaska to Hongkong, from Malaysia to Paris, from dubai to Chile and from Broadway to Sydney Opera House! With a production so well aclaimed, its a great start to allow the children to start watching performance from young.

We came home and read Gruffalo, this time round it has become way more fun!!!

I am so ready to book my Kidsfest 2015 when V is slighlty older and that she will be able to enjoy more shows!!

Disclosure : We were gifted the tickets to catch Gruffalo and there was no monetary compensation for this post. All views were strictly V's and mine. 

Goodie bag - Playdough

V's school has preference for not gifting sweets/chocloates for their goodie bags. Mainly to avoid allergies in children I believe. So I did a bit of research and decided to make playdough with just 2 ingredients!! I broke the costings for those who are keen. I wanted to buy glass jars at $2 a jar but was advised not to gift glass as most children cannot handle glass well at this young age. So I got those plastic containers that they can reuse after their sensory play.

http://kidsactivitiesblog.com/28677/play-dough-recipe

       Makes 18 packets of zipock = 6 containers

• Cornflour             200 grams $2      
• Hair Conditioner  600 ml $7            

      I did for 30 students. So my total cost was about less than $3 a child. 

• Container             $2 for 3=$30
• Colouring             $1.80 x3=$5.40
• Ziplock                100 pcs=$3
• Ribbons               10 m $3.50 x3=$10.5
• Printed cards        30 pieces for $5=$5

2 parts cornstarch to 1 part hair conditioner

Use a mixing bowl, we started with a container and it was too small

Add in colours! for pastel looking ones, 1 drop is sufficient

Get the young one involved!

Don't forget the birthday girl and the husband!

U can do 1 colour or 3!

I got these printed on cards, but I believe paper will do just as great 

Ribbons to spruce up any gift.. everytime. 

We found making the playdough very therapeutic. Besides that, the whole house smells like hair conditioner and the children get much joy mixing the dough! Definitely "Handmade with Love", I chose to use ziplock as its airtight since playdough dries out very fast! It's more convenient for the children to put it back into the bags after playing, making this gift re-useable. We believe all parents would love to get gifts the children can play with or use. Love this recipe!!

The Cores

There has been uproar of comments of recent happenings, the Caucasian and that little boy- both who were very opinionated. It got me thinking that character is very important isn't it? It wasn't just this, the husband went in for reservist recently and was commenting how the younger boys tend to push their luck a little further, when they know rules are rules. (Example like not wearing their army cap or something)  I was pretty surprised by his statement, was like "You mean you don't do it?" He casually replied, "There are things you can try pushing your luck, but rules of the army, I don't."

I thought hard, I must say he is a very disciplined person in terms of business or personal growth. So why is the army, uniformed group so strict? I believe it really has to do with conforming to rules to make you a better person isn't it? From young, I was a rebel in any ways.. I believe we all felt that we were "rebellious" once, just to what degree. Now as a parent, I find ways to help develop my child and it seems that 3 things are very important to the growth of a child. So lets see what my family's top 3 cores are.

Core 1 - Value System

In my post of "How to find the Right Husband" states that having a faith is important and bringing a child in faith is important. I grew up with faith, going to church and practicing it without knowing much what it is. Of course as I grew up, there were many questions about my faith like everyone and if it's the right one for me? Some parents argue that a religion is not important and that the child can decide to choose what he/she wants when she grows up. Well, it will be too late by then. My founding years of beliefs have grown onto me and I thank my parents for insisting that I go church every week. In every religion, it ONLY teaches you good. The bad comes from opinions.  My main core makes me who I am: Respect, Empathy, Love, Honour, Praise, the readings of Sunday mass is embedded, the songs of praise etched in my mind and I sing songs of praise when I feel down knowing that the problems will go away because I believe. Why deny the child of this? With that, the value system is the core that allows the person never to stray far for he/she knows it is wrong.

Core 2 - Discipline

Many parents send their children to maybe Music, Ballet, Aikido. Of course, we say its because the child loves music, enjoys dancing, self defence etc. But deep down we all know, it just because we want to instill discipline in a child doing something they love. Discipline is inculcated in a positive environment without the child feeling that it being too stifling. That why some parents doesn't see the need to send the child in their early stages of their lives unless their reason is otherwise. Now, why is discipline important? Discipline = Will Power. Now, do you see it as a core? Without the will power, that person loses purpose, loses desire, loses the need to excel.

There are many ways of introducing discipline from other sources besides parenting.
Military disciple = Army, which is why it is "From Boys to Men"right? There are also the Scouts, the Guides and Uniformed groups like the band in school! Beside disciple, the child learns teamwork!
Education discipline = Specialization of subjects, learning and instructions.
School discipline= Set of rules to abide and teachers that control behaviour. I know there is another school of thoughts like home schooling. But the parents will have already done enough homework to segregate parenting discipline/academic/school discipline. But for me? I will seriously get myself confused to go in out of roles so often!

Core 3 - Sportsmanship

This came about recently and I never though of it as important. Many of my friends were bringing their children to rock climbing and I had a convo on if we should do so. I believe that sports are important but didn't know which one helps. One fine day, the husband came to tell me we should do gymnastics. I was like huh, why? He explained that most important thing in sports are the core muscles, once you have educated/strengthen your core muscles... you can do any and everything without breaking that leg, that hand due to clumsiness. True isn't it? That's the reason why some people are just that flexible and have that inner strength? It's because their core muscles are well build! They can just do anything required with their body! I see it so important now that I signed up Yoga, just because it can help my aging body to build core muscles. Well, better late than never, isn't it? I'm sure alot of you will question this core but in my opinion, if I was great in sports I may never go through that rebellion stage in my life because I have competitive sports to burn off that teenage angst . I had a lecturer who shared that the most important aspect she looks for in a school is the school field. She said that every child couldn't be denied of space to run and do sports as it will help them most in their being. I didn't quite understand it then but as I grew older, I finally do.


This is my family's pick of what is important. If you want to know why I chose these 3?

 It's a simple answer: 

The Mind (Will Power), the Soul (Faith) the Body (Muscles)

Kate lauren - Her 15 month old

Last 1 week has been crazy with this toddler. She decides that it is OKAY to remove her clothes just before she sleeps. I remember going through this with V b4, but some how with 2 children on the bed.. it takes more from me. 

Nightly routine: the girls gets their shower and they lie on the bed to have their bed. Yes, still from bottle, don't judge me about the bottle weaning. V is impossible to wean at soon to be 5yo! She has opinions about her bottle weaning process and we know she is of a character, I just let it be for peace sake.  K will have her milk 1st usually, she eats too much in my opinion but to eat is better than not eating. So no comments. Actually, I hardly write about my #2 born coz she is such an angel and blogging usually jinx it much. But since this topic is jinxed, so lets unjinx it by blogging. Hur hur hur, Bloggers have a odd mindset. Okie, I swear to have her blog posts updated/backdated. I hardly blog now coz my time to blog is usually at night, but now with 2, I just want to roll in bed with them. You get me right?

this was when it FIRST happen. so cute. *WAS

Back to topic.... omg this K is cheeky like all 2nd born I presume? She has that natural knack for getting attention and it makes the sister way jealous. K is just so comical is her ways, she makes us laugh so much with her silliness! So now she is removing her PJ! She decides that it is okie to NOT HAVE clothes in a 20 degrees small room. After 3 mins, she decides that there is that chill... she wants it BACK ON. So the cycles goes on and on and on. Don't let me start with the socks, omg. Left foot then right foot, wear then remove. 2 nights ago, I went through this for 3 freaking hours! The father decided to put them to sleep at 8pm, claims that they are tired * rolls eyes. When I was done with my TV (me time) K woke up and started. The best part is she will innocently tap u at your shoulder until u wake up to remove her clothes or vice versa. I swear it was funny at 1st but when it was 230am, I was zonked and needed the rest. 

You see bed time is not so fun. We have to ride this out and I seriously hope its not going to take too long. This was taken last night and after all the dressing and undressing, we gave up and threw her under the sheets, turned off the lights and TV. She fell asleep next to her father while V was next to me (extreme whiny). I woke up to a baby whose head was all drenched coz of the father's body heat and the bed had that pool of wetness from her perspiration. Now, what a great opportunity to catch that cold right?

So Im blogging to unjinx this crazy thing she has and that it will slide and never come back. Till tonight when I battle another round with her. Its my duty coz its thursday and the father goes for his weekly football. Nope, it still goes on despite being on reservist for the last 7 days.

Flolookbook- New Year New makeup looks

Think this year I am going to attempt to blog some looks, I do this everyday anyway, so why don't I just blog it down!!! 

So I have been noticing the trend of makeup of the young- er- est lately.  I don'y usually agree on their trends much but this time, I kinda like it a lot. So I attempted the look casually and it turned out pretty cute, don't you think? 

STAINED LIPS: I do quite like the stained lips look, although some put too much concealer on the lips! eh not quite keen on eating it. (blog credit: http://lifeasart215.blogspot.sg/2013/01/review-tony-moly-lip-tint-minis.html)

UNDEREYE BLUSH : Then the other thing worth mentioning is the blusher, the cutesy way of apply it. We used to put at the apples, if not just skip it. But now, its just under the eyes! (blog credit : http://memila.blogspot.sg/2013/06/undereye-blush.html)

So I attempted it today and viola!!! I must say I do look younger!! I need to redo my eyes to attempt the kawaii look but I like my Chinese slit eyes lei and after spending so much on lasik, its pretty silly to wear the big eye contacts right? Never mind I will the look try out without and see the outcome!

Here is me doing a quick 10 mins look, I really did a quick one coz its 1st day of school! Will try a more detailed one to refine some flaws :o!!

Skin: 

Start by applying a Mary Kay foundation Primer  to create a moisturised canvas, minimised pores and lasting makeup. If you have oily complexion, apply a Mary Kay Oil Mattifier. 

Eyes:

Apply Mary Kay Black Pearl at the side to lengthen, and lower lash. Follow by a subtle application of Mary Kay Gold Coast to enhance lower lash and corner of eyes. Follow by Mary Kay Love Lash both top and bottom. 

Cheeks
Apply blusher, I used Mary Kay Sheer Dimension Ribbon to the under eyes. Highlight undereye, nose bridge with Mary Kay Facial Highlighter 

Lips
Apply Mary Kay True Dimension - Wild about Pink to lips and create the stained lips effect. 

01012014

Wow I am finally back on my computer! Sorry for the lack of updates, I took a hiatus from blogging.  You know how sometimes you get stuck? Ya I had that for a while! It was emotionally draining and somehow lack the enthusiasm in life. I guess that is what we call a burnout issit it?

During the last 2 months, I took time out to travel by myself... just to give myself I deserve. Sometimes as mummies, the fact that we want to wear so many hats like everything, we forget the "ME" in the equation. After my travel, I took some time to go back to correct what had affected me. Praying, speaking to my coaches. Last but not least, I revised my course on mind control. For those who don't know yet, I am a graduate of The Silva Method. Sort of complicated to explain but if you are interested I can tell u in another post. It was just pure refreshing to go back and de-clutter the mind and Guess what, I just deleted all my photos from my hp, my camera, spent so much time organising my hard disk!!

My goals are clear for 2014, in fact very clear ! I can tell its going to me a crazy happening year!

Happy New Year and YES its great to be back!

TrichoKare Session 3

I completed my 3rd session with Tk and absolutely love my hair now. It is growing and thickening as well. I'm not sure is it because its been 8 months since Baby Kate was born and its time the hair are growing. But I do think the treatment did help loads in terms of cleaning the scalp and encouraging hair growth. 

After attending 3 sessions of the hair treatments, I have discovered a lot about the hair.  I have a history of hair loss in the family, my dad has greying and my mum has hair-loss. So I get both .. yes like argh. When I was younger and studying = stressful environment, I get grey hair.

Here are some information on Hair that I got to know after attending TK TrichoKare. I got the information from the internet and decided to summarise it for u!

Hair Quantity

On a average you see 2-3 pieces growing from a single pore and from others only one. Besides, the number of pores has been genetically determined and cannot be increased after birth. Persons who appear to have bushy hair usually have thick hair with as much hair volume. On the contrary, those who have only thin hair tend to have less hair volume even if the number of pieces of hair is fairly large.

Hair Cycle

photo credit : http://www.reve21.co.jp

Hair has a cycle called the "Hair Cycle", and hair is regenerated by repeating (1) Anagen, (2) Catagen and (3) Telogen.

(1) AnagenThis is a period when hair matrix cells undergo repeated division, and hair grows thick. It continues for 3-6 years for men, and 4-8 years for women.

(2) CatagenHair roots start degenerating and multiplication speed of hair matrix cells drops sharply.

(3) TelogenThis pausing period continues for 3-6 months when hair growth is stopped completely.There are some differences according to sex, individual and degree of hair care but the hair cycle is roughly 3-8 years for healthy hair.

Hair Makeup

99% of hair is composed of a protein called "keratin". Since the amino acid methionine which constitutes this keratin is not formed in the body, protein needs to be taken in the daily diet in forms such as soy beans, wheat flour, milk, liver, eggs, meat and fish. The reason why nutritional deficiency brought on by excess dieting tends to cause hair problems such as hair loss is because of insufficient protein.

For me , I suffer from Post Partum Hair-loss which is a common ailments for mummies. This is hair loss which occurs before or after giving birth. By pregnancy, hormone balance undergoes a substantial change. This makes catagen of the hair cycle longer, and occasionally it happens that hair which was in telagen remains without falling. Depending on the person, remained hair fall at a stretch after delivery when hormone returns to normality. Sometimes, 20% of hair is lost at once,This is a kind of hair loss which can be cured as time goes by. However, there are cases which fail to recover. It is advised to avoid self-diagnosis. The thing is that during this time it can be very demoralising for alot of us and going for treatments can help with additional loss! Some times I do think, what do you think is the worst thing for a women? Wrinkled Skin, sagging boobs, being fat or balding hair? I think is all but at least all can be saved if you have enough spare cash! But if there is no hair, somehow nothing can help much ya? So the only thing to do is to ensure that we maintain it now! 

I managed to get my scalp analysed after my 3 treatments and wow, don't u think it looks really healthy? Here is my post and the before photo is here. 

Here are some of my hairdo, I have been sporting having the treatments and I LOVE IT!

From My personal experience:

During the 3 treatments I did, I felt that the hair scalp is cleaner an less oiler. Although I didn't see much change in the hair texture coz its was a scalp treatment right? hahhaha. But this post is written 3 months after my hair treatments and its obvious of the quality and quantity of hair I have now. I don't suffer from hair fall and my hair grows really fast. Even my hairdresser commented that I must continue what I am doing just because it is doing my scalp and hair loads of justice!

Shape Run with My Capella Stroller

We did our 1st ever run... was a long (imo) 2.4 km run!!!

Well, if it was me alone maybe its more bearable... I mean you all know me right? Stamina is not my friend hahhaha. Oh and I never knew the 730 am sun is soooooo jarring, coz I am always in bed at that time. Think the only time I am awake this time is only in New York? The only few countries I will be OUT WALKING.

So why did I sign up? Coz in life you must always said you tried right? Yes, so I did.. and what was more memorable is that I did it with BB Kate! If not for Capella, I may never in my whole life do something like this, it was fun with the baby, though I don't think I will do it very often.\

But after this run, I have decided to have my health and fitness goals. Which is a good check for me, self actualisation is the best motivation isn't it?

here is the baby at 6am ... very much dreamy

here is me at 6am.. fresh eyed despite 4 hours sleep

We arrived at the meet up and man it was so darn crowded!! You can read the article here : http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/shape-run-2013-attracts-10000-participants.

Photo Souce: The New Paper

Photo credit: Capella Strollers

We gathered around and prep ourselves, some babies were quite cranky waiting around coz the sun was in their eyes. Reached the start point and the organisers got us pretty balloons to keep the babies entertained!! GREAT MOVE SHAPE!! They insisted on giving me so many and the boy wanted my stroller to fly up in the sky, he said it will be a beautiful sight. Boys and their imagination hahahaha. In the end I accepted 4 coz I couldn't see much with the balloons blocking me. But then not that I run damn fast or what.

Thank god for these.. coz i was at my wits end with her crankiness. 

Here is us at the start point. Photo Credit : The New Paper

I managed to practice a few times with Baby Kate in the Capella stroller..WALKING. But I didn't expect the sun to be in her eyes that morning. It was all okie in the beginning coz she has the wind in her face but it got really warm with the rising sun. We had a few cranky babies and a few mummies decided to stroll to assist.  The Capella mummies helped out each other and many runners who didn't have a stroller took turns to assist us. This was not a stroller run but a non competitive 2.4 km segment open category!! Join them next year if you are keen!

Teamwork at its best. Photo source : The New Paper

So the whole 2 km we were brisk walking and chatting coz we needed to push 3 strollers. It was amazing to see some mummies running with their stroller and completing in like less than 10 mins. Even we took a while, we still complete, its not how fast but how you spend your journey right?

Here is my 1st ever medal from a run!!! Photo Source: The New Paper

The rest of the mummies were waiting for us for a group photo! We cooled down in the shade, settled the babies and took our selfies!!

 Mabel did an awesome job filling us 10 in!!! Photo Credit: AmazinglyStill.com

A proud moment :)

My run with Capella Cony S230:

I must say the full handle bar is really useful for the run! Easy manoeuvring especially there are times u want to check on the baby well- being and not stop the run/walk. I found the many pockets in the stroller so darn useful!!!! Totally heart it so much. The wheels for the stroller are not made to run with but then again this is not a jogger style stroller so I cannot expect much.  Its like if your car is not a 4 wheel drive, you can't expect to drive on terrain well.  So yes the wheels tend to be slightly shifty when u are trying to move in a fast pace, but then I believe its just me coz I have the same issues with my other stroller. 

Remember I mention that the sun was in our babies' eyes? It was till the end of the race, I was like "aiyo we should have swap to back facing since our stroller have the reversible function" hahahh... so much for us struggling in the beginning coz one of the baby was so cranky. 

For the rest of the functions of the Cony Stroller S230, Please read my review on it here
