Imagine 3 Chang Er’s or 3 female astronauts landing on the moon. What would it have been like if they had brought their kids along? 😆🤔 • 20 July 2019 marks the 50th year of moon landing! Exactly why this Museum of the Moon sculpture is at Floating Utopias @artsciencemuseumsg - in celebration of this 50th Anniversary 🤩 What a remarkable milestone for mankind! This moon science thing is pretty close to me now cos Leroy is a huge space fan. After seeing ads and then finally seeing for myself that gigantic moon inflatable during the media preview, I told myself I had to bring him, specially for the moon. I’m glad I did 😍☺️ • Together with @familystaysg & @xincilovesyou, and the kind folks at ASM, we toured the setup after our healthy lunch at SweetSpot 😋 Leroy was intrigued by what he saw, and also loved the 🎧 🤣 He even had a heartwarming session with Hayley by moonlight 🌚 My excited boy was 😮 when he saw the huge moon, but all he could think of was to box it?! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #throwface • Here’s a little #PSA to fellow budding astronauts: @artsciencemuseumsg has put together screenings, performances, drop-in sessions by @astronomy.sg (for 5-12yo, younger kids with adults) & more from 18-20 (Thurs-Sat)! Activities stretch to the night with FREE entry to Floating Utopias from 7-10pm! • The programmes are more suitable for teens and adults, so younger kids can check out Floating Utopias! Scroll down my feed and tap the photo with me pointing at the huge moon to read my review or hit my #IGHighlights! 🌚🌝 🌈Rainbows make everything better! If only they don’t cost $3.50 a pop 😆 But I guess that’s what mums do - save then spend on the kids to make them smile! Whoever said happiness can’t be bought? 😆 • Swipe to see who made a funny face and who couldn’t wait to EAT! 😝😝 Wanna join the BOLA SQUAD? Just remember to take cover from flying balls 😆 • Mummy and daughter had a fun time at @superparksg because I always discover something new about my kids. Oh, and this time about myself too 🤣 Watch my #IGstories and you’ll know 🙈Our 2nd time here but also the chance for me to see how independent V has become. And also all-ready to explore different stations on her own and her little friends! She can now pedal smoothly on the pedal car, managed to make the best of her inappropriate clothes (thanks to me 🤣) to creatively slide down several times, and braver than her mama! But the best discovery was to see her tender side where she helped her young friends climb through the tight space by pushing their bums, and gently encouraging them😍 Bless this sweet big sister 💖 Mama’s so proud of you! • Thank you @bringyourkidout & @superparksg for the active day-out and the wonderful chance to learn more about my big little girl 😍 • Note to self: wear leggings or yoga pants next time! 🤓I’ve always been a bookworm & love reading since I was a kid. Nothing like holding a book in my hands & getting lost in an adventure 📚 • I’m glad that both kids enjoy reading too, often asking to be read by climbing onto our laps, or by cuddling beside us. Now that V can read, I’m secretly happy cos she can take over the storyteller role! 😆 • We’ve been reading <<It’s Too Windy by Hans Wilhelm>> & it’s one of L’s fave book! Here’s sharing our #bookreview: . 📘This book is pegged at Level 1 by @scholasticinc reading experts & educators. Largely sight words & repeated words for the simple sentences. . 📘The story is written in first person, so the kids relate as the protagonist i.e. the dog, who goes on an outing with mummy & baby. . 📘 The illustrations are simple & calming with the use of watercolour styles. Details such as expressions were 👍🏼 Swipe to see how angry and scared the dog looks! Definitely helpful because when I was reading the book to them, it added more depth to our conversations. I’d ask questions like, "How do you think the dog is feeling?" or "Why does he look upset?" And by asking questions, it makes the story more personable as we pique their curiosity. . 📘The best part of this book? Leroy remembers the short sentences & actually used the same line in a different context 😳 Case in point: We were waiting for our food at a dining place & he was getting a little impatient. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "I hate waiting!" I was both shocked by his use of "hate". Then it struck me that it was from this book 🤣 So I asked him and he confirmed it 😜 Well, it shows that he has been paying attention when we read, right? 😛 • It was a pleasant surprise & also good fun to know that kids are sharpening their listening and comprehension skill through books. I'd say this book is good for early readers and for young ones who have yet to/ have just started on simple phonics. • 📌To shop for <<It's Too Windy>> which falls under Scholastic Readers & the comprehensive collection of @scholastic.asia books, visit www.readershouse.com.sg! Enjoy 20% off with discount code “HOOT20” 🤩 😋Come with me, as we go on a foodie adventure! • Pic 1: Just me, enjoying a chock full of healthy goodness at the all-new flagship SweetSpot outlet at @artsciencemuseumsg, @marinabaysands! 😋 • Pic 2: That's me with my excited date who couldn’t wait to eat up the deliciously healthy food as we soaked up the magnificent view and 🌞! Did you know that sunlight is important for our well-being and inadequate exposure affects sleep quality? • Pic 3: My date devouring that Baked Apple Crumble and didn’t wait for me 😒 L zoomed in on their pastries and fresh bakes which the cafe is popularly known for, including Vegan 🥕Crumble Cakes 🍰 ($9) & Flourless Chocolate Cake ($9). • Pic 4: I couldn't wait to tuck into my hearty lunch: a customised warm Salad Bowl ($16), picked from over 30 premium ingredients! Added a savoury slab of warm Miso Salmon (simply add $2 and choose from chicken, fish or vegetarian options) for an extra dose of DHA & Omega-3😋 Salivating as I reminisce this dish! SweetSpot ensures that 80% of their offerings are freshly cooked in-house as they embrace wellness dining in a flavourful way. This Salad Bowl can be a toasted wrap 🌯 if preferred! Not forgetting to pair my healthy lunch with a glass of heart-happy Avocado Glow ($10) that's brimming with 🥑🍌, spinach & more! • Pic 5: Watch my video of 🇸🇬's 1st commercial robotic barista tt made my freshly brewed Cappuccino, had my name on the screen & waved too! L was really thrilled! 😆 • Pic 6: SweetSpot takes care of bubs with a kids menu ($8++/dish), and my hungry date couldn't get his hands off the Rainbow Salad 🙊 Paiseh, Hayley! The Cauliflower Mac & Cheese had loads of 🧀! • Pic 7: Good food is best enjoyed with fun friends @familystaycaysg @xincilovesyou, right? 😍😍 Bottoms up to our colourful and yummy date 😋 • 📍SweetSpot at ASM opens from 10am-7pm daily. Beverages & fresh pastries are available from 10am; salad bar opens from 11am-4pm. Thank you for fueling us with happy food, SweetSpot & @artsciencemuseumsg 💖 Finally at Jewel Changi Airport! Better late than never, right? 😆 • TBH, the expected crowd detected earlier visits and yes, it was indeed (expectedly) packed on a Saturday evening. But the grandeur of its iconic HSBC Rain Vortex was definitely a welcoming sight. We watched it when the sunlight was streaming in through the glass, and caught it when it was illuminated in various colours at night. Couldn’t get better shots cos it was - yes, you guessed it - too crowded. • The mall was very inviting - lined with many shops calling out to me 🤣 Made a mental note to come back without the kids 🤭 Spoilt for choice during dinner too, and we went for the one Michelin starred ramen as it’s Q wasn’t that long 😆 Price-wise, it was like Ajisen and the likes, taste-wise, soups were kinda salty for us. Unexpected jerlatness for me too 🙊 • The kids had their special treat of Cookies Ice Cream too, but it tasted like the Oreo McFlurry 💸💔 V also spotted the monorail and wanted to go on it. It runs across the other terminals so let’s see... next time, baby! • Really proud to see this spectacular architectural masterpiece on our island 😍 It’s undoubtedly one of those honoured moments where a sense of feeling fortunate streams in Singaporeans 🇸🇬 • How about you guys? What do you like most about Jewel 💎?
