Rainbow Baby

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

If you haven't read the first post on Happy Fish before, go here .  Again, I will emphasize here that I am not assigned to write an advert for Happy Fish and I do not receive any benefits from this. After exploring a little bit in the place, found that there is a baby changing area located upstairs and 4 hair dryers are provided for us to dry our hair.  Isn't that great? Now that we are 6 lessons in, my girl can submerge, not afraid to jump into the water and hold her breathe for longer period. The place must be very well known by now as there are many, many parents and kids and the place is so crowded before and after our class.  The pool for us to practice before and after the class is always packed.   My girl is one of those who are following instruction closely and if we were not doing it in a group, I believe can further teach her more.  But because the rest of the kids in the group are not following instruction and some always absent and thus every new cl

Year 2018 is coming to an end.  Which means school holidays are starting soon.  Which means the new school term will start in 2019. Which means my girl will be turning 3 soon. Actually, I have no intention to send her to kindy yet.  I feel 3 years old is a bit too young and I don't want her to be bog down with homework, etc.   I have heard some mommies commenting that they have regretted sending their first born too early to school.  As a consequence, the child became traumatize by school and refused to step foot into any school.  So for their next child, they only sent when the child turns 4. But that didn't stop me from going around searching for a kindy.  I know I know...I am being a bit paranoid.  Kiasu. Since there are so many kindy out there and the price varies, I have decided that I will not check out those big franchise names kindy.  Like RKids, QD, EDW, etc.  I do have my reasons.  Let me tell you one by one.  Now, I won't be putting their full name a

Few days ago, I had a chat with a Grab driver.  The conversation started about my work and then flows to our family and kids.  Coincidentally, his only daughter is just a day older than my girl. His daughter is on formula from 6 months old till now and weighing 18kg and is overweight for her age.  So he is asking what formula I am using for my girl and when I said I don't give formula and he asked why.   For my girl, I just gave fresh milk when I stopped breastfeeding at 2 years old.  I tried sheep formula and in my heart still don't feel comfortable about giving processed food.  So I ended up giving fresh milk.  Fine it is also processed, as in squeezed out, packed in bottles and shipped.  But lesser things are added into it. I am not against formula.  I am just not comfortable with the ingredients in it.  And I have seen kids who drank formula are a little on the hyper side.  He told that his girl can't sit still and kept on breaking things in the house.  And
