Happiness is...

being able to spend precious time with my dear boy who seems to be growing up really quickly recently. He can play on his own for longer period of time although i must be in the same room with him. I can sneak out sometimes to do some chores when he is very engrossed in his toys or watching his favorite Hi5 on Disney Junior at times. He is still very attached to me and will cry or try to follow me when i step out from the room and i hope it will ease soon when he starts Playgroup end of the year. I have finally registered him and plans to let him start school when he is around 19-20 months old so that he can still be with me the whole day for a longer time hehe :) I admit that i'm a helicopter mum and have started to worry if he will be bullied by the other kids and hubby has been advising me to learn to let go at times.

Shopping at Sembawang Shopping Centre

Bubble fun at the playground

Developments wise, my dear boy can now better express himself and has started to be quite demanding at times and gets upset if we do not let him try the food we are eating. He is a late walker and has only started to walk a few steps on his own this month but he loves to walk while holding on to my fingers. He loves to talk and has been babbling a lot and is able to say ball, meow and hello. He has started to be more playful and loves having visitors to our house. He enjoys all the attention and has a fun time playing with my mum, cousin and aunt. I'm really thankful that he is a foodie like me and loves all his meals that i prepare for him including meals from Petit Bowl and prays hard that he will continue to enjoy his meals and is eager to try new food. He loves to go out nowadays and i can finally spend more time shopping and dinning outside hehe ;) Life as a SAHM is starting to get really exciting :)

Muji Introduces Kids Line @ New Store In VivoCity :)

Hubby and i are huge fans of Japanese brand Muji as we love its simple designed products. We have a lot of its furniture and household items at home and also love its yummy snack especially the crunchy and delicious nacho cheese. I just found out from My Paper today that Muji has opened its largest store in Singapore at VivoCity!  More exciting news….it will be the first store in Singapore to introduce its Kids Line! The wide range of designs includes T-shirts, dresses, pants, shorts, leggings, raincoats and innerwear for babies, juniors and toddlers. Tailored mainly from organic cotton, the apparel is perfect for our humid climate. It's also laundry-friendly with easy to dry features. 

I can't wait to check out its latest store soon to get more stylish and comfortable clothes for my boy and stock up on my favorite Muji snacks :) Visited its Paragon store during the weekends and could not find my favorite Nacho cheese :( Fellow fans of the brand must check it out soon too and you can also find out Muji's latest news and promotions at its Facebook page.

Watsons Baby Wipes

I was shopping at Watsons recently and discovered that they had changed the packaging for their baby wipes and my boy was attracted to its cute animals design. I have been using Pigeon baby wipes for my boy's diaper change and cleaning up when feeding him as it can get really messy when he feeds himself. The Watsons baby wipes are perfect for cleaning up when feeding my boy and wiping the dirty highchairs when we dine outside as it is much cheaper and cost only $2 per pack. I also like that it is made in Singapore and does not irritate my boy's skin although i would still prefer to use my trusty Pigeon wipes for his diaper change. Do give it a try and hope it can also help you to save on baby wipes expenses ;)

Korean Drama Medical Top Team OST - Can You Feel It (Melody Day)

If you love watching Korean medical dramas like "Brain", i highly recommend this 2013 Korean medical drama "Medical Top Team" which i have been watching recently online. It is a fast paced and exciting drama which will keep you hooked to every episodes. I also find the pairing of Joo Ji Hoon and Jung Ryeo Won refreshing and likes Jung Ryeo Won's character in the show. She was not all goody two shoes like the typical drama heroine and has her ambitious and selfish sides too which i like...Girl Power rocks hehe ;) Read on to find out more about the drama.

Kwanghyhe University Hospital has many weaknesses. Like in every other hospital, patients suffer from their ailments, and often unnecessarily, die at the hands of their physicians. But Kwanghye has one strength. When there's no hope left, when all the options have run out, when it seems like the end for the sick and dying, they call in their Top Team; a group of resident doctors, each at the peak of their respective fields. With this dream team, no patient is too sick, no illness too incurable, no surgery too complicated, no recovery too impossible. On the outside, they are the best the modern world of medicine has to offer- brilliant young men and women who genuinely care for the sick.

But everything is never as it seems. On the inside of this league of medical geniuses, there is a power struggle brewing. When misunderstandings occur and cracks appear in the very foundations of what holds them together, will they stand united, their principles and consciences intact? Or will they take the fall, choosing fame and ambition over what was once so simple-saving lives? Delve into this world of intellectuals and prodigies, see what makes them tick and witness how in the end, it all comes down to sheer willpower to survive in the world of medicine. 

I also love its OST "Can You Feel It" featured in the drama and do check out its MV below :)

Review Of Kidsme Multi-function Food Scissors

Check out my recent online purchase which i highly recommends for fellow mummies whose children are starting on solids :) I bought the Kidsme Food Scissors online for my boy at Totsworld and i like that i can use it to cut, mash and pick up food which is really convenient for busy mummies like me. The Kidsme Food Scissors feature stainless steel cutlery-grade blades that allow us to safely, easily and efficiently cut our children's food into small pieces.

My boy loves to eat noodles and spaghetti nowadays and i was looking for a good quality food scissors that i can use to cut his food into smaller pieces to make it easier and safer to feed him or for him to feed himself ;) Even choking hazards like meat or fruits can be mashed into safe bite-sized pieces using the Kidsme Food Scissors. 

My dear baby J all ready for his mealtime. He is also a foodie like his mummy ;)

The Kidsme Food Scissors retails for only S$16.90 and i was really satisfied with my purchase which i received within 2 days using normal mail.  I told my best friend about my latest find and she also bought it for her baby who has started on solid food recently. Hope this post will be useful for fellow mummies with kids starting on solid food. Happy shopping ;)

Review Of Kose Sekkisei Skincare Range

It has been a long time since i post a skincare review and i have been wanting to share my experience using Kose Sekkisei skincare products.

When i learnt that my favorite Japanese skincare brand Fancl was closing all its stores in Singapore several months ago, i decided to take the opportunity to try out another Japanese skincare brand Kose. I love using Fancl skincare product and it is a real pity that the brand is exiting Singapore. I have a friend who has been using Kose's Sekkisei basic skincare range for several years and she has really great skin and highly recommends the brand. My skin was giving me problems after i gave birth to my son last year and using Fancl's basic whitening skincare range together with my favorite SK-II Facial Treatment Essence really helps to calm my irritated skin. However since they closed down their store at Causeway Point and it will be difficult to get their product,  i ended up buying a set of Sekkisei lotion and emulsion at Metro to try out while i was at its counter purchasing its BB cream. 

The friendly Kose beauty consultant gave me several samples to try out since i was new to the brand and i love its White Liquid Wash which i tried during my recent staycation at Resorts World Sentosa. It cleanses well and my skin feels soft and smooth. I have been using Sekkisei lotion and emulsion together with SK-II FTE for the past 2 months and it does not irritates my skin and i have noted improvements to my skin which feels well hydrated with a healthy glow :) I'm really pleased with the products and uses its BB cream as a light makeup whenever i'm out. It offers decent coverage to hide minor blemishes and does not make my skin feels oily or irritated. 

Picture taken with my boy at Ocean Restaurant during our recent Mother's Day staycation at RWS :) I was only using Kose BB cream as makeup.

Thanks to Kose for helping to simplify my skincare routine and applying the products is so easy and convenient and i love that its emulsion comes in a pump bottle. Do check out Kose Facebook page for more information about the brand and its latest promotions :)

My Boy's First Lego Set :)

Bought this cute Lego set for the little guy during the recent Metro sales and i'm glad that he has been having a fun time playing with it :)

Fun Time With My Boy @ Cool De Sac :)

I brought my boy to Cool De Sac, an indoor playground for children recently after reading good review about the place online from a fellow mummy blogger (http://bumblebeemum.wordpress.com/category/kids-playground-gym-in-singapore/cool-de-sac/). Do check out her blog if you are looking for fun places to bring your kids as she provides really detailed information and reviews. Cool De Sac is located at Suntec City and the place was not very crowded as we went on a weekday. 

My boy had a fun time crawling around and exploring the toys there. I have been looking for fun indoor playgrounds for him so that he can crawl around freely to explore the place and also have a chance to interact with other kids. I brought him to Kidz Amaze at Toa Payoh Safra several times but prefer Cool De Sac as they have toys for toddlers to play and we only have to pay $10 entry fee for my boy and 2 adults to accompany him. We can also dine there while watching my boy play. This will be a lovely place to meet my fellow mummy friends so that we can have some time to catch up while our kids enjoy themselves at the playground ;)

Yummy fish & chips for lunch at its cafe while feeding my boy home made fish porridge :)

We tried Hokey Pokey recently but its too expensive and crowded and the place feels messy as the children throws the toys around after playing. I still prefer Cool De Sac and my boy loves going down the slide and i also had a fun time going down the slide with him. Check out some photos i took of our fun time there :) Baby J was really funny and showed interest in a cute little girl. He kept following her and wanting to play together with whatever toys she was playing.

Yummy Lunch @ Westgate :)

Celebrating My Boy's 1st Birthday @ Sea Aquarium - Ocean Restaurant

We celebrated Baby J's 1st birthday last week and had a lovely family lunch at Ocean Restaurant. Lunch was really delicious and Baby J loves the place. He had a great time looking at the fishes and was trying to make friends with some kids who were admiring the fishes near the platform with him. My baby is really growing up and have been practicing walking at home by holding on to the furnitures. I can't wait for him to start walking on his own :) Happy birthday my dear boy and mummy and daddy love you and hope that you will stay happy and healthy always and we look forward to bringing you on more fun outings. Hmm maybe the zoo next hehe ;)

Korean Drama - My Love From Another Star

I have not had the time to update my blog recently as Baby J has not been feeling well and i have been busy taking care of him. I have also been hooked to this really interesting Korean drama "My Love From Another Star" starring Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun and have been watching the drama online whenever Baby J is sleeping.

The drama has recently ended in Korea and gotten really good ratings. It is also really popular with viewers from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. I love the touching and sweet love story of the main characters Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) and Cheon Song Yi (Jeon Ji Hyun) and spending a few hours nightly watching the drama really helps me to relax after a tiring day taking care of a very needy and grouchy baby. Really hopes my poor baby will get well soon. I have been listening to the drama soundtrack daily and my favorite songs are "My Destiny" and "In Front Of Your House" and you can check out the song MVs below. 

Actor Kim Soo Hyun has won over a lot of female viewer's hearts, including mine hehe ;) with his portrayal of the perfect boyfriend Do Min Joon who is an alien that landed on Earth 400 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty period. Do Min Joon possesses a near perfect appearance and enhanced physical abilities involving his vision, hearing and speed. He holds a cynical view to human beings. Deciding that emotions are nothing but fantasies that drag human beings into folly and evil, he scorns the mortal idea of love. And so far, he has had no reason to change his mind. But he starts to have second thoughts when he meets the stunning and attractive actress Cheon Song Yi three months before he is finally able to return to his own planet. You can go to Dramabeans to find out more about the drama :)
