Journey to infinity

I read about some lush virtual rainforest thing at Art Science museum last week and so we headed there last Saturday as the pictures look cool.

However, it was a little of a disappointment as it was all viewed via the handheld tablet. Being an ex Pokemon Go player (even if it's for two days), I wasn't that impressed . Cayen was sufficiently impressed as he could see animals popping up depending on where he turned.

Since we were there, I decided to check out the exhibition called "Journey to infinity" since Cayen likes the word infinity. The queue was superbly long as we were there at 2pm plus - bad idea . However, since my MBS membership card (anyone can apply for free) gives 1 for 1 tickets, I decided to join the horrible queue. (Online purchase will allow one to skip the queue actually.)

Anyway, we finally entered the museum after 30 minutes of queuing. I was very intrigued by the exhibits but I had to zoom at record speed as Cayson wasn't into the dim lighting etc. 

I was very impressed by the artist's ability to visualise and I wonder if there's anyone else like him currently surviving. Anyway , he MC Escher has gained a new fan in me. 

I wanted to recommend friends to go but I realised later that it was the last day of the exhibition (that perhaps explains the crowd!). Anyway, I will post the pictures on my Facebook/ Instagram as it's hard to upload multiple shots here) as they look truly impressive. 

My advice to you: if you like to go art science museum, pls apply for MBS membership card as it gives the best discounts. And to avoid the queue, go early . Do not take the advice of them if they ask you to go to MasterCard theatre which is five minutes away and in the main shopping mall, as the queue is even slower there.

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
