🌑 👀 Have you ever seen the moon up close before? • This realistic-looking moon is one of 8 inflatables & over 40 artworks at Floating Utopias, the latest exhibition at the @artsciencemuseumsg. Did you know that inflatables were also used during times of unrest in the past? To most of us, they are commonly associated with celebrations, decorations & fun... so learning how balloons were associated with less happy times was 😮 I was pretty mind-stretched during the tour at the media preview, jolting several new perspectives on how time, technology, purpose, politics (yes!), science and arts have pushed inflatables to evolve. Kinda brought me back to my secondary school days when I did Literature - thinking beyond the surface. 🧠 • Curators and artists shared insights as we toured the 5 sections: Balloon Fever, Display & Disrupt, Bubble Architecture, Solar Sustainability & Vertical Exploration. Floating Utopias hopes to welcome participation with interactive activities at the exhibition. 👉🏼Swipe to see the plastic-ful work where anyone can help create a colourful recycled patchwork balloon as a community 🙌🏼 • Don’t miss WALTER, a masterpiece by local artist, Dawn Ng. U might have seen this white 🐰 invade our neighbourhoods too! There’s also the Atmosfields (1968–71) Graham Stevens Film when you enter the dark room to see how people used inflatables to walk on water - yes! For space fans like Leroy, take a moon bath with the Museum of the Moon sculpture by Luke Jerram. Created to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing by NASA astronauts in 20 July 1969, this work invites us to contemplate the Moon today, via the latest moon science👨‍🚀 🚀 • Do go for the guided tours if you wish to unearth more info. If not, do take your time to read the details presented. Possibly better appreciated by older kids. • PS: We’re not allowed to touch the exhibits - angles made it look like I did in these pics! 😆 Nice knowing you @bellaella777, & thank you for patiently snapping! The odds of meeting another #KCgirl 😉 Nice meeting you guys too, @victorl0 @sgig @kokokuma_duy @stanley_chee! 😁 • Floating Utopias runs from 25 May - 29 Sept 2019. Tix fr $10.25 - $18/pax. My nails have been naked for the longest time. Yeah, being lazy and time-pressed are just some reasons why 🙈 • So when I had the opp to try out Gelish nails, I thought it was perfect timing to get my laziness out of the way, before I turn into a yellow-faced wife! First pic with intricately designed nails at over a week! Swipe to see them when they were freshly painted! 💅🏼 • Like my lashes, my first Gelish nails were done at @luxmierebeauty. I didn’t really have a design in mind. Hastily screenshot some to show the nail artist, and that’s it. Left it entirely to her to pick the colours and drew them on with intent focus too! 👍🏼Almost Omakase, if I may say so 🤣 Gelish dries sooo much faster then regular nail polish! Apparently, this nail art style is made pops by a famous celeb! So, am I still a millennial? 😆 • Quote CINDY to save 10% off any services (excluding express mani/pedi, promo & trial items) at @luxmierebeauty, a one-stop for beauty treats! Fix an appointment and make your way to @plazasingapura! Have fun! 😁 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♂️ Running through the mid-week be like 😁😁 • Plus, it’s a short week, so that’s kinda like a mood lifter, right? 😌 • Happiness is running with your sibling and creating ruckus despite mummy repeating like a broken recorder to ✋🏼. Since I couldn’t stop them, I made the best of that adrenaline rush to get those happy laughter recorded. I could do with playing this back whenever I need a reason to smile ☺️ • Have a great giggly hump day! 💝 🌈 GIVEAWAY 🌈 • Are you planning to head up to Johor Bahru over the June school holidays or the upcoming public holiday? • Kiddomo Discovery Playland will be opening on 25 May at @rnf_mall!

SWIPE to see what I spotted! You might wanna scurry down to the Philips Carnival as it’s happening only till Monday 20 May! 🏃🏻‍♀ 🏃🏻‍♂ • #PhilipsSG #PhilipsCarnival I remember feeling stressed over breastfeeding when I had Vera. The discouraging comments from my confinement nanny plus anxiety when my breasts were engorged, simply made my 🤱🏻 journey even more challenging 😢 • “Every baby is different; everyone’s body is different and every production is different.” Wise words from Sister Lilian Pong. If you’re a new Mum, please hold this close to you💖 • She can’t be further from the truth. There are many reasons why mums struggle with breastfeeding, and it’s important to be equipped with the right knowledge and scientific information for better confidence. That also means understanding your own body and getting positive support, so for mums with flat nipples, there are tools to help - swipe to see what to use and how to start on the right foot! 👍🏼 • “Eat the best, drink the best and remember to get rest.” Sister Lilian emphasises the importance of post-natal care through eating protein-rich meals, stay sufficiently hydrated with water (yes, even during confinement!) and soups (that milk-boosting fish & papaya soup!), and eating in moderation. • And when you’re here at the Philips Carnival, check out the special deals on family-essential household items! From @philipssg AVENT electric breast pumps, electric steam sterilizers, to the Philips Deluxe Collection All-In-One Cooker, Philips High Speed Vacuum Blender and more! Families can save more with DISCOUNTS of up to 60% offered exclusively at this carnival, so don’t miss out! Also, 🤱🏻breastfeeding mums get the breastfeeding support they need with effective breastfeeding tools and quick healthy meals whipped up efficiently. YAY to happy mums and happy babies 👶🏻 ! • The Philips Carnival is happening today till Mon, 20 May! Swing over to bag your family essentials at unbeatable prices! Happy shopping! #PhilipsSG #PhilipsAVENT #PhilipsCarnival
