In mid September, I went over to FairPrice Xtra at JEM for MamyPoko’s Love is in the Air Fit event, where 1000 lucky winners from MamyPoko’s giveaway get to redeem their Love Gift Packages.Wow that’s a really generous giveaway!

The redemption starts 1pm, but by 12:30 there were already winners queuing up at the MamyPoko booth!!😲 Haha look at my Boss Baby lol.

Singaporeans are really gung-ho when it comes to gift redemption!! 😁

Most of them came with their young children, which I really respect because I don’t think I wanna be in such a long line for anything at all if I have cheesiepetits with me haha. They must be really excited to receive the Love Package!! read more

Hello Singaporeans!

What are you doing this Halloween? Cheesiepetits and I had an early Halloween celebration last weekend at the Westgate Wonderland Halloween Party!

From 29 Sep to 29 Oct, Westgate would be having lots of exciting events for the shoppers, especially families!

Westgate Wonderland Halloween Party

The party starts 6PM every weekend, on the rooftop playground, and there are many activities for kids to enjoy! Junya, Sakura and I joined almost all of them, and here’s what we did! read more

Junya turns 40 months today and Sakura is 17 months old. And it’s been almost two weeks I haven’t updated, that’s quite a record.

Last week I started sending Sakura to school together with her oniichan, and I thought that would be the end of my mommy jail time, (and that I would have time to update my blog EVERY TWO DAYS!!!). Erm… apparently it was quite the opposite.

I got so unbelievably exhausted with all the school-prepping, school visits, at the same time down with a bad flu. read more

I know, I know… I can’t even remember the last time I did a make-up post. It’s been too long. It’s definitely before my pregnancy T_T. Many of you told me you missed it, and here’s one! 😀

In recent years, my make-up style have changed, where simplicity and time-efficiency is the most important keys.

And I am very happy that I am able to recommend to you today, THREE Cosmetics, a skincare and make-up brand from Japan (spark-joy!!) that emphasizes on holistic care and effortlessness, which perfectly suits my lifestyle. read more

Many of us love visiting combini (Japanese convenience stores). I can’t live without combini when I am in Japan. The onigiri, sandwiches, snacks and seasonal drinks… There were days I just live off the combini completely for days!

So I have blogged many times about the wonders of combini food. I also try to put together a meal as healthy as possible. But a few times I got lashed for “falsely promoting combini food as healthy when they are bad for our body”. So today I just want to share a few latest information on conbini food in Japan, especially for those who are in doubt and unsure whether the onigiri you are eating from 7-11 is killing you slowly. read more

I admit, I am a big fan of health supplements, and we have a cupboardful of tablets, chewables and capsules. Probiotics is an essential, but usually I’d buy the chewable and tablets separately for the adults and kids.

Duo B, a high quality synbiotic (combining probiotics and prebiotic) supplement product in the market, is suitable for the all ages especially developing kids, so you will need just this in your home to keep your entire family’s gut health in check!

Many of you may still be wondering what’s the difference between probiotics and prebiotics. They are equally important when it comes to improving one’s gut health. And to put it simply, Probiotics are “good” bacteria that help keep your digestive system healthy, whereas Prebiotics are not digestible by human body, but are the food for probiotics. When probiotics and prebiotics are combined, they form a synbiotic. read more

Hi. It’s me. I’m still here.

Today this blog turns 13 years old.

If this blog is my offspring, she is now a teenager with her emoness on full blast, and slightly out of control. I apologize in advance for her inappropriate behaviors.

So while nothing dramatic happened in the past year of my life, something very dramatic, even life-threatening happened to this blog.

This blog was hacked.

It happened last September, which was a year ago, where it was infected by a malware that messed things up on and off. I fixed it, it came back, I fixed again and it came back again. And then it started to happen more and more regularly. I’m sure some of you remember this because for months, every other day I received comments and emails of concerned readers who told me that they couldn’t access my blog or that every time they accessed my blog it jumped to a spam site. read more

The last time I did eyelash extension was right before I gave birth to Sakura, and it was a bit like a motivation treat for myself for having to bring another human to this world lol.

So… it has been more than 1 year, that I had not been able to step away from her for even that 2 hours to make myself look pretty. I know that there are a lot of good eyelash salons in Singapore and I have been meaning to visit one… so one day I requested the danna to watch Sakura for a couple of hours so that I could get dolled up with some nice lashes. read more

Yay food post! Over 100 pictures to drool over 😀

I drafted this post since 2 weeks ago, and I can’t believe I only had time to type one line… T_T. Every night after the kids go to sleep, my brain tells me that how nice if I could do the same… so I respected my brain lolol. And in the afternoon, somehow there was ZERO time to even flip open my laptop. IKR??? Even when Junya is in school and Sakura is napping, I can’t fully relax knowing that I will be disrupted anytime. Plus there’s so much distraction… hair on the floor, toys here and there… laundry to be put away… SCARILY ADDICTIVE JAPANESE TV SHOWS….. Blogging is sort of a very holy ritual that requires lots of focus and peace haha. It’s not something you can do while entertaining a grumpy toddler who is pulling your shirt. read more

One of the reasons why I love Singapore is that there’s an amazing selection of Japanese food and restaurants here, sometimes I feel it’s almost like I’m living in Japan!!

When itadakimasu by PARCO first opened, I was so excited because it has some of my favorite restaurants from Japan made their debut!!! 😀

itadakimasu by PARCO is a Japanese Food Town located at 100 AM Level 3 Shopping Mall offering authentic Japanese food specially curated from Japan, at affordable prices!

These are the 7 restaurants, some which you may be already familiar with, and some are the first outlets in Singapore! read more

I have been a mother now for more than 3 years, which also means that I have changed thousands (yes, thousands!!) of diapers to date, for my two babies.

And trust me (and all the mothers who has handled diapers before), your selection of the right or wrong diaper, could affect your overall sanity. When Junya was still a newborn and I was a cluless, nervous new mom, I spent days and days getting crazy and all stressed out changing leaked diapers, washing poop-filled cot sheets, soiled baby clothes over and over again. read more
