✨GIVEAWAY✨
I’m feeling quite guilty to share that Ning Ning hasn’t been exposed much to sensory play cos her daddy doesn’t like mess. 😅 She probably only get to play that in school.
So Ning Ning was super thrilled when @doughnme.sg sent over a dough set for her. She had so much fun and she was so excited going around showing the creations that she made from the set.
I can also have a peace of mind as the clay is made of food grade ingredients. It’s tastesafe, chemical free and most importantly non-toxic. So it’s very safe for our little ones. Christmas is also coming so this makes a really great Christmas gift!

Take your time go read, if u are a parent or parent to be.
What kind of children are we creating???
A few weeks ago, I had attended a birthday party of my daughter’s friend. There they played a game, the age old ‘Passing the parcel’, however, what was different was the way it was played. The child who was caught with the parcel when the music stopped was asked to leave the circle, but with that parcel as the gift, and then a new parcel was introduced. The game continued till every child got a gift. I asked the mother what was wrong with the earlier version, the version we had all grown up with.
She said – “I do not like kids to be disappointed. See, here every child is happy as he or she gets to take a gift home.”
In another instance, I was in the park with my daughter. She was playing lock and key with her friends. Now, one of her friends fell down. Her mother, who was on the other side of the park ran to his son, all confused and upset. She scooped her son in her lap and started inquiring – “Are you hurt? Let me see! Do no cry! Shush, mama is here.”
The child, had a scraped knee, who was perfectly OK till then, started crying earnestly.
I was at a friend’s home for lunch. Her 5-year old daughter refused to eat what was cooked for lunch. My friends felt so guilty that her daughter would go hungry, that she cooked up her favourite pasta immediately. According to her, it was not the first time this had happened.
At the School Sports Day, there are no races, no competition. No first, second or runner ups. Because, everyone is equal, there should be no competition between the kids.
Kids today have a room full of toys and games. Some they ask, some they do not. But, they still get them.
Everything in excess is the new mantra of life.
Our parents taught us self-reliance, while we hover around our children and want to protect them at all costs. We like to hold our babies closer to the protection of the nest. We go out of our way and rustle up something when they don’t eat what’s cooked at home for everyone else, because we don’t them to sleep hungry. Instead of letting them play outside, we organize activities for them. We do their homework and their assignments. We even resolve their conflicts for them.
It makes me wonder, what will happen to these kids when they grow up?
Will they get a gift everytime they fail? Will they be able to handle disappointment? A child who has never been denied anything, how will he cope with rejections? There are a growing number of cases when kids run away from home or commit suicide because they are not able to deal with low marks in examinations or when they fail to secure an admission in an institution of their choice.
Will their parents keep them hidden in their bosom all their life? Our mothers never ran after us, a scraped knee was just that. She would ask us to wash it with some water and then forget about it. But, there was no drama that followed.
Falling and hurting was a part of daily life for us. We cycled, climbed up trees and jumped from the stairs. Today, kids travel in elevators and escalators (because they might fall down the stairs and get themselves hurt). Earlier, kids walked and cycled. I hardly see kids walking nowadays, unless it’s for a kids’ marathon and they are required to pose for selfies with their cool mommies.
Will they shy away from competition or be able to survive it? OK, so we can accompany our kids till the college gate and sit in the waiting area while they appear for a job interview.
A child who is never used to losing – how will he survive in the big bad world?
We are raising our kids to be adult babies.
So what should we do?
Stop telling our children that they are special all the time. They are not, at least not always. So reserve the praises for the times when they actually deserve.
Stop going out of the way to create happiness in their life. The life is a mix of joys and sorrows, and it is for a reason. We have no right to interfere with the nature. So let’s stop pretending that everything is all right when it’s not. Let the kids have their fair share of disappointments at an early age. It’s better to fall at 10, than at 40 !!

From my oracle card reading late last night, by a very very kind person i’ve known for almost 3 years. She was also the same person whom helped our family spoke to Moomoo (@cyrus_065 beloved dog) becox Moomoo was in so much pain that the vet didn’t know how he was surviving so long with internal bleeding and refusal of medicine.. So after she helped us, Moomoo spoke his last words to Ah Bong and @pigpigrocks through this friend of mine.. And after that, he left quietly, peacefully, on his own.. I still remember that afternoon. It was.. Quiet and solemn, he passed away in my house.
And through the two years of turmoil i went through, now i’m still jittery when i think about it. Even though life is looking like it’s going up, i still hold fears of “what if something bad happens again”. Something in me just cannot fully register that maybe.. Maybe it IS true that all the bad stuff are already over. Maybe this, right now, right this moment onwards, IS the light after a very long tunnel?
And came this card that spoke to my friend with a message, and i’d like to share it with y’all. Especially since you guys are the ones who helped me pull through as well. And one day when i finally could, i promise i will give back in folds and in useful ways that will make you guys proud and happy. Along with my family and friends, you guys pulled me through 2 years worth of dark long tunnel and bear with my emo-ass for 2 dreadful years 😂 And if you’re still here, you really are the best type of people.
“This is a kind universe, and everyone within it is working in your favour. There are no tests, blocks, or obstacles in your way, except your own projections of fear into your future. Take a moment and hush your mind, quieting it from worries and fears.”
Very grateful to my friend who helps guide me with her very special gift. I told her last night, in between trying to hold down a bjg ball of saliva or something building up in my throat cox i was tearing 😅 That i’m happy i no longer go to her and basically ask “How long more i gotta bear with this cox i’m breaking” 😂
And on this morning, i hope whatever is bothering you, you will find kind guidance and move on, forward ❤

It was modern urban life's answer to a movie premiere, complete with hulking black SUVs, gawkers and screamers, barricades and video paparazzi.
The scene was the Reebok Store on Philadelphia's South Street. The debut was for sneakers. And 500 people, most of them school-age, were standing in line, waiting to see a basketball player and a rap star.
Allen Iverson and 50 Cent met the media yesterday afternoon in an event staged to promote Iverson's new Answer 7 shoe and 50 Cent's new G6.
Iverson, of course, is Reebok's star in the basketball-shoe endorsement business and one of the hottest merchandise sellers in the NBA. For 50 Cent, though, signature shoes are something new.
But the 76ers guard said that pairing the two for promotional purposes (and billboards across America) made perfect sense. Hip-hop and the NBA, he said, go together like peanut butter and jelly.
"All rappers do is watch basketball," he said. "All we do is listen to rap and watch videos."
50 Cent echoed that thought. "I told the people at Reebok: Put me next to A.I. I want to be hot."
Iverson's new shoe, which he will wear on the court, has a suggested retail price of $115. The G6, meant for leisure wear, goes for $80.50, with the 50 cents going to charity.
These are relatively good times for Reebok, which recently issued its best quarterly earning report in six years. While Nike dominates the basketball shoe business, Reebok, based in Canton, Mass., has new hopes of eating into the industry giant's market share.
Nike still has Michael Jordan, the unchallenged king of the basketball shoe, with a LeBron James product line arriving in stores soon.
Last month, though, Reebok signed Houston Rockets center Yao Ming away from Nike, a move likely to have more impact overseas than here. And it has Iverson.
"The Iverson shoes have been very successful," said John Horan, publisher of Sports Goods Intelligence, an industry newsletter based in Glen Mills. "Kids really identify with him because he's been through it all. He has a lot of currency, and Reebok has basically made a lifetime commitment to him."
Among those in line to see Iverson and friend yesterday was Fred Anderson, 28, of Willingboro, Burlington County, carrying two bullet-proof vests that he'd sewn by hand for the celebrities.
Iverson's was white with parts of a blue Sixers jersey on it, No. 3; 50 Cent's was silver and black and bore his name.
Bringing such a gift to the rapper made perfect sense; 50 Cent was shot nine times three years ago and always wears a vest when he performs. Anderson figured that what he did for the one man he ought to do for the other.
"I'm hoping they'll accept the vests and maybe that they can help me get a clothing line started," Anderson said. "If not, if I can get a picture with them holding the vests, that would do."
More typical of the crowd, in terms of age and outlook, was Marqus Yip, 13, of West Philadelphia. In a white shopping bag, he had an Iverson basketball, an Iverson picture, and newly purchased Answer 7 sneakers, white with a black heel and silver trim. He was hoping to get autographs on all the items.
"He just loves A.I.," explained his mother, Jacqueline Holmes, who had taken him out of school to be there. "The Iverson gear is how I keep the A's and B's on his report card. It's an incentive. He knows that if you don't get the A's and B's, you don't get the stuff."
