A busy Saturday !

Early yesterday morning, we brought Cayen to his favourite 麦 , Macdonalds, but this time to the King Albert Park (KAP) branch. It was a special occasion as it was to celebrate Auntie Xinhui's birthday and it was also the second last day of the Macdonalds branch closing due to redevelopment. This used to be our playground, the place where we used to "study" after school we were 12-18 years old. Hence, it's rather sad that it had to close. Anyway, I had never seen Mac so crowded before. Queues were ten men strong at any point in time, and seats hard to come by. We bumped into a few familiar faces from school too, all there to reminisce the good old days. Cayen had a jolly good time too, he ate a cup of corn and also learnt how to say "M". 
Next up, we went to the old turf club to Pasar Bella , which hosted many interesting European styled stalls and food. I really loved the Paella and the roasted pork that I tried. I was also wowed by the many kids related studio on the second floor, from dancing to Lego and play gym, there seemed to be something for everyone. And Pasar Bella had a really beautiful and kids friendly toilet. Quite a family outing haven.  I Cayen enjoyed himself though he still managed to fall asleep despite the heat. 

At night, we went to Huiyi's house to have a play date ! It was really cool for the kids as Huiyi's place had so many toys and all the kids loved it. Also, thanks to Auntie Zhiyuan for preparing all the steaks and the kiddos' meal. 

Unfortunately , Cayen was so distracted by all the toys and also the late milk feed in the afternoon that he couldn't eat much. He really didn't know what he was missing out !

Nurturing creativity

We went for curriculum updates last week for Cayson and the week before for Cayen. Bumped into the English teacher who told me that Cayen eats his lunch very well including vegetables (doesn't sound like him at all). She also mentioned that Cayen likes to test boundary. Recent case in point , teacher would ask the children to not talk in the toilet as it could be noisy for the children in the adjacent classroom. As he wasn't allowed to talk, he purposely started singing instead. Then our discussion was cut short and I wondered how the teacher responded to his singing eventually.  Nonetheless , this is one of the many instances where Cayen would not do things the conventional way. In Cantonese, I might even call him "Seng Mok" (savvy). For instance , previously , he was spotted sipping lime cordial juice on a plate -he has helped himself at the dispenser without my knowledge . One would have usually told him off but I decided to ask him why he did that. He said that he

Feedback from teachers

As part of the regular meet the parent session, I joined Cayson to make ice cream. Think I must be the only one who managed to tear two plastics bags in a row due to vigorous shaking. It’s good fun as Cayson tried his hand at making ice cream from Meiji strawberry milk.  Teacher’s feedback on him is still good as usual as he’s still quite an obedient and easy going kid though she did remark that he’s picky with some food like vegetables now. And whilst he’s 99% agreeable in the past, he’s been more prone to his own opinion (I read it as trying to get his way). And sometimes he followed his classmates’ action of scribbling away randomly during colouring when he used to colour carefully within the lines. Observations were quite in line with what we see at home. Recently he would cry when he doesn’t get his way. For instance, we were playing snakes and ladders and he started crying when I made him slide down when he hit a snake. He kept screaming “I want to win”. Later on, he proceeded to

Top 12 Tips during Confinement - revised edition (2017)

This is dedicated to my dear friends who are expecting their bundle of joy very soon. Being a hassle-free type of mother who needs to go back to work after maternity leave, and also one who likes a good bargain, these are the things I personally find very useful, practical & cost saving. 1. A good breastfeeding pillow  - my Brestfriend  For some strange reason, I didn't see the need to invest in this initially. But this has to be the top 1 or 2 items I cannot live without during the first few months. No matter how I positioned the normal pillows, I just couldn't get the right positioning without straining my shoulders/ back. So yes, this is first on the list. Anyway, if your milk production is low, try papaya with fish soup and remember to drink lots of water. If all else fails, you still can try to take some herbal medicine before resorting to Formula Milk. This herbal supplement improved production by 30-50%. I only took it when baby was having gro
