Talkative Thursday: The Three Little Pigs – No, not Nicole, Nathan & Nadine

Are you familiar with the story The Three Little Pigs? Well, in 2010, I guest blogged here and shared my doubts. Two days ago, I was in a clinic with Nathan, and we got the chance to read the Ladybird version. (now, that should be quite close to the real thing right? It’s Ladybird, for…



iFly Singapore – An Interview with a 7 year old Flyer

Nicole had the awesome privilege to try out iFly in Sentosa recently. The only way to find out how it went was to ask her casually some questions on her experience. She’s the youngest possible flyer, since 7 year old is the minimum age requirement. How did you feel when you first saw the entire…

Pre-School expenses going UP!

Nathan is in K1 and Nadine in Nursery. Both of them attend a full-day childcare centre. We drop them off at 8 a.m. and pick them before 5.30 p.m. The arrangement is perfect for now, as the full day programme occupies them and gives them a very complete curriculum for the academic, aesthetics and social…



Gotta Start Somewhere
