The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

Review: The Lion King (2019)

So, we decided to spend my birthday watching The Lion King with other mummies and their kids.  It was fun and we really enjoyed the day out.  But the movie has a mixed review.  Yup, I read the reviews before going and it was lukewarm.  And now that I have watched it, I can totally understand that lukewarm feeling. Let me just summarized it.  It was like watching National Geographic. The songs are still great.  But I totally cannot comment on the acting because they are all CGI-created and you can't expect real animals to have emotions right?  Like smiling, crying, laughing, anger?  So, yeah, that sums up the whole movie.  Cinematography was great too. The animals were talking but they have no emotions.  Nothing in their eyes.   Half way through the movie, my girl got a bit bored and kept asking me if the movie is over.  Well, I am not sure if they can make it better but the colour of the lions and the colour of Pride Rock is the same, almost camouflaging.  But I do

Nostalgia

No, I am not pregnant.  Was kinda regretting not having a second child, but I think we are better this way.  Though many are encouraging me to try another one, but pregnancy at 4.0 is not going to be easy. Now that I am not pregnant, I would like reminisce the time when I was pregnant.  So many taboos I have broken and so on. Just now, I read a sad news about a soon-to-be mother, who listened to this group of mothers on FB about not to induce the baby, and her baby died at 45 weeks.  So, please, please, please, do not listen to the mothers.  Follow your heart, if you feel something is not right, please go to the hospital right away.  Stop asking for advice on FB.  None of us are experts and they are only advising you based on their own experience.  Every one is different.  Every pregnancy is different.  Every labour is different. OK, back to my pregnancy 3 years back.   Travelling Q1:  Can pregnant mothers go through the scanner at the airport before their flight?
