Hello readers!  I have been taking a super long break and this is the first post in 2021 and nothing related to children or mothers or schooling or anything related to them. This post is created just for 1 reason:  for mobile phone developers to read and take note.  Just in case they see this post. It's 2021.  I have been using a Huawei Nova 2 Plus phone since 2017.  Phone is now 4 years old going to 5.  It's still working fine but it's aging.  It's slow and laggy especially if I want to open certain apps.  Fingerprint sensor isn't as quick as before.  Screen is not at its best now during scrolling.  Sometimes can jam on 1 page.  Battery life is diminishing despite just changing a new battery last year. But overall, this phone has served me well and I can honestly say this, I love Huawei phones.  And I swore that I would not touch another brand phone anymore when I started owning one. I was a Samsung and Xiaomi user before this.  And those phones could only last me

How's everyone doing?  In difficult times like now?  Hope everyone is staying safe, practising social distancing and all that. My girl went to kindy for the first half of 2020 only.  Online classes didn't really work for her as I ended up doing a huge chunk of work.  Her kindy is not technologically update and her teachers were sending 3-5 minutes of video via WhatsApp.  In the end, I thought it's better not to pay the kindy fees and just let her stay at home while I continue with some online apps. There are quite a few of pages that are free due to Covid.  I started my little girl with Reading Eggs and tried out their 30 days free trial and my girl loved it!  In fact, she learned so much more via Reading Eggs than her own kindy. Straight away signed up for a year.  Only about RM250+ for a year.  Much worthy than kindy. The app is not perfect.  Sometimes hang, sometimes lag.  But the materials is very comprehensive.  She learned her maths and phonics and english via this a

Today I felt like sharing this.  I found out/realized/enlightened, whatever you want to call it, that everyone (can I generalise), everyone in the corporate world is a selfish person.   If you say, no I am doing things for the company, I am not selfish.  Yes you are.  You are only doing what you are paid for.  You won't go the extra mile to help others. And whatever bosses ask you to do, it is for their own benefit.  To prepare for their meeting.  To come out with projections for their own discussion.  You are just a slave to your boss.  Nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps when the company offer you some benefits, like medical insurance, dental, spectacles allowance, you will like the company care for you.  But in actual truth, if you are sick with a disease and can no longer function the way you did before, the company would kick you out no time.  Selfish?  Yes.  As they don't want to keep paying for a staff that can't be their slave. I heard recently from

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as

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

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
