The husband and I were catching up on some episodes from the latest season of 'Sing! China' when Liam snuggled in between us. "I don't understand what they are singing, mama", our not-so-little mr.5 commented. And so the husband decided to search for 'little kids playing piano' on YouTube to inspire our firstborn since he's been taking piano lessons for a while now (lessons which he requested us ...

Chungkin Chatters Ep #1 : mama got owned by mr. 5
Me: (noticing a really nice birthday party favor in Liam's bag) Liam, whose birthday did you celebrate at school today? Liam: Oh, we celebrated Elvinia's birthday today Me: I see. I've not heard you mention her name before. Is she a new classmate? Liam: No mom, she's an old classmate. She was a new classmate long time ago, but now she's an old ... Read More
Liam’s 5th Birthday Celebration – I planned a PJ Masks theme party in 5 days
"That's what you say every year! We shall see!", my good (mommy) friend Sheryl quipped, when I mentioned during our play date earlier in January that I was probably not going to throw a birthday party for Liam this year. She was right, I've been saying it for the past 4 years. Yet every year, I seem to be able to come up with a convenient excuse to host a birthday party, although the lead time ... Read More
The 5-year motherhood milestone
In a day's time, I'd be celebrating being a mom for 5 years. 5 'fabu-freakin' years, mainly made up of fabulous first year aww-look-at-that! moments, enough to warrant spending a few grand just to throw a first year celebration, coupled with four years of what-the-f-did-he-just-do moments...also enough to warrant staying up all night just to complete a simple, customized backdrop of his ...

Natty is so certified in Google Adwords Fundamentals and Display!…and so proud of Liam
Ahh, in case anyone is ever, remotely interested in my work... after dedicating 2 full days of re-learning some of Google's products in detail, I'm happy to blog an entry for myself - I'm back to being an Adwords Certified Professional! *throws confetti in the air* The last time I was certified was when I first made the switch from traditional media to digital media back in 2010, so indeed, ...

The Chungkins: Liam at 4 years old and Ollie at 2 years old
It irks me that blogging about my kids has been on the back burner in the last 3 months since I starting working full time. With most of my time after official work hours spent doing overtime on interim reports, researching to put together a weekly trade plan for practice, ensuring that I spend quality time with both boys on days I'm fortunate enough to be home before they hit the sheets; where ...

Legoland Malaysia: we finally made the first visit in 2016!
Unlike Universal Studios Singapore, which got us so excited and wanting more that we got ourselves long-term passes on that very first visit and made almost weekly pilgrimages thereafter - back in 2014/15 - there has never been the impetus to go to LEGOLAND Malaysia. Maybe it's the thought of having to bring so many passports along (and having to keep them close constantly amidst the many bags ... Read More
Liam’s 4th Birthday: A Trains, Ice Cream and Games Party!
When I first told the husband a month ago that I was going to keep Liam's 4th Birthday celebration a small and cozy affair, he laughed in disbelief. I was annoyed by his cynical laughter, but I could understand why. After all, when I told him that I was going to keep it small for Liam's 3rd Birthday party - we ended up having about 50 kids (although it was already scaled down by 30% as compared ... Read More
Disney On Ice Magical Ice Festival surpassed my first Disney On Ice experience
Just when I thought I was completely over the "Frozen fever" many months back, and that I wouldn't enjoy myself as much as my first Disney On Ice experience due to the initial frustration of not being able to capture decent photos of the characters using my phone camera coupled with Liam's constant asking of "Where's Frozen? I want Frozen now! Where's Elsa?' throughout the show; Disney On Ice ... Read More
Observations on my almost-four-year-old toddler
I have a love-annoyed relationship with Liam's current 3-almost-turning-4 stage. I love how witty his comeback lines are, yet when he's out to frustrate me, it's unbearable to the point that it turns me into a meanie mummy. So the colleagues' all say, whenever I re-enact my response to those episodes, complete with eyes rolling and furrowed brows. There are days, especially on the weekends, ... Read More
