This is one of the toddler’s favourite books. We’ve been reading it since birth, and have read both the English and Chinese version of it. It’s his first time in a theatre. We’ve previously sat through a 30 minutes magic show in Blois at the House of Magic and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I was […]
I hope everyone is staying dry and safe in this Hong Kong super typhoon weather. We’ve been stuck indoors all weekend, no school on Friday and it’s been a very wet and windy Saturday. We made playdoh, oobleck and I’m running out of ideas to keep my toddler entertained. I’ve also allowed free flow screen […]
We started making our own play dough for over a year now because the store bought one dries up really quick and it’s neither environmentally friendly or economical to keep paying for individual tubs of playdoh– more plastic tubs adding to the landfill. Making our own gives us control of mixing colours, creating new colours […]
I feel like I can never get a break as the whole family is sick and the toddler has been sick for 3 weeks. I haven’t slept much in the past weeks with the cycles of raging high fevers, multiple trips to the paediatrician, multiple swabs, the same cycles of medication we’ve cycled through bottles […]
I finally understand the sacrifices, sheer exhaustion and reality of balancing life and motherhood now that I’ve got a spirited 2.5 year old. In between, life and death happens. I didn’t realise I’d start losing so many friends in my late 30s and now 40s, it feels even more common place. We’re no longer young, […]
I highly recommend a visit to the Palace Museum. I liked it much better than the Taipei National Museum that’s full of very old things – too many of the same after a while for a philistine like me. The Hong Kong Palace Museum has a beautiful curated selection of modern and old things, and […]
Our trip home to Singapore was brief, eventful and memorable. My son got to meet his grandparents and extended family for the first time. He also ran a very high viral fever over 40 degrees and we were in and out of A&E at KK hospital twice. All good and the culprit was the Adeno […]
We checked out Art Basel over the weekend really briefly. The toddler likes looking at things – partly because I also love looking at things and we’ve been going to galleries since he was a newborn. He’s just alot more opinionated and vocal these days as a toddler. I’ve been trying to catch up with […]
Happy International Women’s Day! I wish women were celebrated every single day and didn’t need a specific day/excuse for this. This is a long overdue post that I didn’t have time to finish, much less edit, before the horrors of Russian invasion of Ukraine. If you have spare change and want to donate or help, […]
Now that the pet human is 16months old, cloth nappies have become second nature to us. I started when he was 6-7 weeks old and haven’t looked back since. We’ve had to evolve our strategy as he got older because his output has increased and we’ve had to add extra inserts and prefolds and he […]
