As you can see.. I can't even keep track of weeks for Meredith liao. So i'm gonna go with months. It's  crazyyyy how a little human like that can take up almost all of my free time and all of the data space in my phone.. And in my brain.

Tomorrow night we are leaving for Korea and it'd be our first trip together =DDD =OOO

I am happy and anxious at the same time cox i don't really know what to expect!!! Will be travelling for the first time with Yutaki and Rykiel also and quite excited about this~!!! Usually friends go overseas there's only two outcome when they come back, they see true colour and they don't gel so much after that OR they see true colour and they gel even closer LOL.

If i come back you see me and Yutaki unfollow each other you know liao lah HAHA.

Will be filming for Meredith's youtube channel so i'm extra excited for that!!! My tiny baby have like 14 coats, 8 headwear, 15 inner wear for 10 days LOLOL fashion show much?!?!?!

I only have 10 coats for 10 days LOL. Josh has like 2 coats.


"Thanks for giving us your luggage space, dad!" LOLOL.



"You mean we are flying now?!?!?!"



"Don't hold me back!!! I WANNA GO NOW~!!! NOW!! LET ME GO~" Customised onesie from Labels Of Love Studio. Thank you guys! =D

Brought Meredith for a school tour at Heguru Singapore @ City Square Mall

the Heguru learning method is a right brain development method that's founded in Japan. I wanna talk a little bit more about this!!! Becox it's too amazing!!!

When i first learnt about right brain development for kids i thought it was just gonna be creative playing to bring out the creative side of our kids.

When i read more about Heguru's way of developing the right brain for little children, my mind was blown away. How would you like it if your child can have photographic memory, be able to do speed reading (Heguru developed hado reading, where they can give the kid a decently thick book, and have them browse it within a minute and be able to understand and write down the content of the book =OOO), appreciate music and rhythm, understand concepts without struggle and still have the creativity to imagine and be carefree as a child should be.

Seriously with all the extra-curriculum classes that parents are sending their kids to these days, i find it so stressful as a parent, i can't imagine how is it for the child who have to keep up with it.

You can read more about right brain development HERE but i suggest you look out for school tours or email and contact Heguru Singapore to understand better!

I met the principal at Heguru Singapore (City Square Mall) and she shared with me her experience as a teacher for more than 10 years in Singapore. She had taught the best class, as well as the opposite..

One thing in common with students regardless from the best or the rest, the students will all wanna throw their textbook away once exams are over. Not literately but figure of speech lah hahaha.

So she realise for herself that that's not what she wanna do as an educator. She wanna let the children learn in a fun and effective way, so that they will really like learning. And not find learning a dreadful thing to do. And that is why she went to be trained to be an educator for the Heguru teaching method.

I gotta agree with her. Safely put, most kids in Singapore don't like to study. I'm sure they like to learn, every child is curious and of course new knowledge is always (sometimes only actually LOL) interesting. But if you go to class so many hours a day, learning different info from soooo many topics, plus exam stress and then later tuition and homework stress etc.. All of these put together, you get a child who have to go through a lot of things cox boh bian, if not how to get good grades right.

And to be honest, out of let's say 10 topics, how many are you really interested in right? Even for adults we have preference right? I'm sure kids too. They will have their favourite and least favourite subject haha. For me last time my least favourite is History and Chemistry.

What do i do?

MEMORIZE IT BY HEART AND BY BLOOD LOH. HAHA. What the heck, really is die also must force self to memorize cox i don't understand at all!!!

But now what if, i have photographic memory and i am able to grasp concepts and inter-relation of topics at the my finger tip?! Learning would then be soooooo much more easy and enjoyable cox now i don't have to kill my brain squeezing info that can't fit in!

And it's Heguru Singapore's commitment to help unlock and unleash that potential in our kids!!!

Meredith with one of the teachers at Heguru Singapore (City Square).

You ever heard before, that a little child's brain is like a sponge. They learn SO MUCH within the first few years of their life. How to blabber and mouth words, how to sit, how to crawl, how to cruise from one furniture to the other without falling haha.. And so much so much more..

This period of their life their brains are developing and growing most actively.

Do you know that an average human only uses 10% of his / her brain?

Most people even lesser.

LOLOL FML I FEEL DAMN PAISEH TO SAY but i am probably only using 5% if the average is 10% LOL. I really really really don't like to use my brain =XXX

And if you go pass the stage where your brain stops developing, then you are unable to unlock the growth of possible usage "space" in your brain liao. So the Heguru Method is only for kids up to 12 years old. If you look at this video, kids who stick with the Heguru Method all the way can all be called geniuses i feel!!! I would never be able to do Hado-reading in this lifetime, sad to say lol.

The best thing is.. They only do this until they are 12, it will help them greatly along the way, but it will also help them all the way in the future in their lifelong learning process.

Not bad right, being able to think and comprehend stuff faster and better than everyone else.

Meredith have gone for two lessons so far and i must say she's really well-behaved during class!!! For her age it's a 50 minutes class of which includes 60 activities to stimulate the little brains and for them to be accustomed to receive information at this speed.

It's amazing isn't it, imagine next time she wanna pick up any musical instrument also can learn faster, wanna solve formulas and study for exams etc, all the dreadful stuff, all she can learn and absorb and execute faster and easier.

You know really, my baby is my precious and i don't need her to be the best out there doing what she do but i need her to be happy doing it. I personally dreaded school sooooo much until today i've left school for more than 10 years, i still sometimes have nightmare about exams hahaha.

And she's gonna be studying in school for about 18 - 20 years at least and since it's a must, it's my duty to make it as smooth as possible for her.. So i'm excited to follow through with the Heguru teaching method =DDD Will update along the way!

Meredith's first experience at an indoor playground! I guess everything was yummy to her =_=" Go in and chomp on everything she can get hold of.

Only picture of everyone at the playground. Although Dash Dash is diving into the pit, Wendy is stopping him, Meredith is not looking, Cheesie is totally cut out and Junjun is partially cut out, i guess you can still see me LOLOL.

Later Dash dashed off to everywhere and it was hard to grab him for a picture lolol. He's damn independent omg. While this two stayed at the nursery age baby area lol.

When bae teaches you how to drive lolol.

The Lzzie team was soooooo nice they specially went to get these mehmeh toys for Meredith T___T I love to work with nice appreciative people omg. Thank you guys so much!!!

Last day of stay Junjun decided Drago makes a good chair LOLOL. And that's him doing "cute cute" right there hahahahaha! SO CUTE DEE STILL WANNA ACT CUTE SOMEMORE~!!!!

Omg i am starting to look more and more motherly hahaha!

Remember two months ago i shared with you guys howwww much i LOVEEEE the Philips Combine Steamer / Blender?! I told you guys all mummies must have that for their kids especially those starting on puree and solids. It is SO easy as you can see from this picture!

All you gotta do is STEAM (you can steam all sorts of vegetables, fruits, meat or fish), flip it over and BLEND! No need to go through the hassle of steaming food in a big pot of water, no need to transfer the food from steaming to blender. JUST DO EVERYTHING IN ONE JAR!!!

Right, just steam and blend and you get a yummy, natural and healthy meal for your baby!!! =D It's a great help to me when Meredith started on puree. We would let her try one fruit or vegetable a day and then after a while we could mix and match different fruits / vegetable. SHE LOVE THEM~!!!

Her favourite is steam and blend carrot, sweet potato, corn and pumpkin. HAHA. Expected right, the sweets ones. So i suggest mummies to try mixing in the greens (like broccoli, spinach, green peas etc) with the sweet ones! So your babies can all the different kinds of nutrients she needs =D

But i haven't been very adventurous when it comes to playing with meat or fish for baby food so i did a shout out to my instagram followers for them to share some recipes with me!

And i picked this particular one from @dylan_mummy and super glad cox Meredith LOVES it. You can watch the video to see how to prepare this simple recipe!
