That Mom Of Four

A child's ability to excel on any subject or topic is so greatly dependant on their interest and enjoyment on the subject too. Which is why I am such a happy mommy to see Nykki enjoying her weekly lessons with the British Council's enrichment programme at Tampines. She would actually remind me on the day of her lesson to pack her bag and pick her up earlier from her preschool to send her to class in the late afternoon. When we first started her on the lessons months ago, I noticed that she started becoming more and more interested in reading storybooks and would even try to read on her own at night before bed. This makes it so easy for me because I used to teach my three older girls to read when they were Nykki's age and it was hard work getting them to sit down to try reading the words from the storybooks without feeling having to use tonnes of encouragement and negotiation. Learning Materials used in the Enrichment Programme Among the learning materials given to the enro

Living on the island of Singapore means likely means that we're paying a lot more for better quality furniture as much of it is imported. Although we're willing to pay a higher price for better quality and design of furniture and household decorative items, there's only so much that we can get with out budgets. Fortunately with Masons Home Déco r , paying too much for mediocre furniture is a thing of the past. So how is it that they're able to keep their cost of premium furniture lower? Eliminating the middlemen By taking away the need for middlemen and going directly to consumers, Masons Home Decor is able do away with the additional costs that will make their premium furniture more expensive for the end buyer. What does this mean to us consumers besides not having to pay the unnecessary fees to middlemen? We also get to choose from a much wider range of quality furniture from Masons Home Decor directly! In fact, their designers and craftsmen all work from the factory

Learning to ride a bike for me meant getting scrapped knees and a booboo here and there. This was what I used to think, until my kids learnt to ride on the bicycle with Biking Singapore within just one lesson! They had 2 lessons each but by the end of the second lesson, they were confident riders, and I was one happy mom. We even bought new bikes for them right after they graduated from the 2-days course so that we can bike around as a family!

A little more about Biking Singapore Starting from the love for exploring cities around the world on bike, Biking Singapore does not just provide cycling lessons for individuals of various ages. They actually provide local bike tours and mobile bike rentals for those seeking to explore Si

Ever since Nykki turned 4, I’ve been planning to send her for English enrichment classes so she can further cultivate her love for reading and writing just like her older sisters. I always believe that being able to speak and write is a basic, but to do it well can help one express themselves and communicate even better with others.   Nykki has always loved drama thanks to her sisters who created her own series of videos called The Nykki Show and this little munchkin has embraced public speaking from that moment on. As a parent I know that she has a love for sharing stories from her wild imagination and I’m more than happy to support her in developing this interest.   This is why I’m so glad that we managed to get a spot for Nykki to attend the British Council enrichment programme.   The British Council in Singapore Building connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and other countries through arts and culture, education and the English language is what the British

I always tell my students “change takes time, and the patience and wait is worth it”. This line also applies with the Sculptra treatment that I did at Halley Medica l   Aesthetic s with Dr. Terence Tan . Unlike several other types of treatment like hyaluronic acid fillers which are used to fill up a localized area of treatment, Sculptra stimulates our skin to generate its own collagen for more natural and healthy-looking skin. With the use of poly-l-lactic (PLLA), this treatment gives a more long-lasting volumizing effect and is ideal for those who prefer letting the body generate its own collagen naturally. I embrace aging, but I also intend to do it with less lines and droopy skin. Haha. I did the first Sculptra at Halley Medical Aesthetics and really appreciated how quickly and efficiently it was carried out. The second treatment was no different except that I was able to compare the difference and improvements from before I started the treatment as it does take time for the body
