Pororo Park Singapore @ Marina Square Part 2

Media Invite

Off we went to Pororo Park again! And this time with Daddy!


Since our visit to Pororo Park in last November, Emma has never stopped thinking about Pororo & friends, she would ask us to read her the Pororo's activity book at least once a week and ask for their videos once a while. So, you can imagine how excited she was to visit Pororo Park again!

Things looked a little different from 6 months ago as Pororo Park is now packed with 3 more play areas, more classes and performances for the little ones. So, that means more fun for the children!

IKEA Hack: 10 ways to DIY makeover IKEA LATT children's table set

I'm deeply amazed and inspired by the number of brilliant ideas to makeover IKEA LATT children's table set! As much I would love to try them all, I decided on a monochrome theme to match our living hall and used 3 main materials - paint, fabric and acrylic sheet. 


Click here for more photos and how-to.


The rest of the ideas are too inspiring not to be shared. So, be ready for a couple of 10-15 mins quick fix, many more patience testing craft work as well as an impressive skillful modification!

IKEA: Emma's LATT Children's Table Set DIY Makeover

Sponsored

Being a big fan of IKEA, I'm stoked to be part of the 2016 IKEA Blogger Program. This program runs over 4 months and I'll be taking on one different task each month to create useful, interesting and fun home fix ideas. 

For this month, I need to do something crafty! Oh yay, my favourite!

LATT Children's Table Set Makeover


With Emma's room revamp well underway, I decided to update one of her IKEA pieces - the LATT children's table. It costs S$39.90 and is one of the cheapest children's table around.


We could have easily bought the white SUNDVICK or KRITTER table set last year but both would cost at least $100. Since I love doing DIY anyway, the crafty and thrifty me thought it would be better to do a DIY makeover instead.

Before


I happily spent a few nights cutting and wrapping up the table set with wall papers. It turned out lovely and totally matched the theme of our living hall.


But, there was one down side which Hubby frowned upon for the past 1 year. The corners where pieces of wallpaper met (forming right angles) created some pointed edges that lightly scratched us once a while. Thankfully, all were small scratches that recover quickly.

Thomashlyn's Proposal Story



Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky, I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet

You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see

As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again (x2)

oh~

Emma: 2 year + 9 months

We'd a pretty happening month and the highlight got to be our Hong Kong trip! 


It was a birthday trip for me but felt so much like one for Emma. Haha. No, I'm not complaining. I'm happy as long as the family is. Anyway, we had a simple & yummy celebration on my actual birthday. It was such a fun trip and I'm still missing Disneyland, Ocean Park and all the yummy food. Let me try to work harder to get some travel posts up!

Nippon Paint X Choosing Paint Colour for Toddler's Room

Sponsored post 

I've been toying with the idea of revamping (a major overhaul) Emma's room for the longest time! It's probably the most neglected corner of the house as little effort is spent on decorating it. 

Hence, I jumped on it when Nippon Paint offered to paint Emma's room! Daddy wasn't too enthusiastic about it as he dislike hassle. But, I managed to convince him that it will all be fine with Nippon Paint's help.

Her room is basically made up of 4 white walls, many white furniture and some pops of colours.

Indoor Water Playground: Splash @ Kidz Amaze (Safra Punggol)

"Oh yay! Time for water play!!"

It was an enjoyable and fun time at Splash @ Kidz Amaze (Safra Punggol) last Sat! Emma had a splashing great time with cute Laurent!


Splash @ Kidz Amaze is Singapore first indoor water playground that is specially built for children aged 18 months and 13 years of age. There are multiple play decks, five slides, a themed splash pad and 3 party rooms. 

Are you ready for the enchanting deep sea?!

1. Themed splash pad


We started off with the splash pad, the first water play area right after the entrance. 


While Emma and I usually takes some time to warm up at the pools, it didn't take long for us in this splash pad.

Fish & Co.'s promotion - Mothers' Day 2016 Deluxe Seafood Platter

Soup (Broth) is alot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the other; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor - Marge Kennedy

It has been a while since we dine at Fish & Co. So, when the invite from Fish & Co came in my mailbox on my birthday itself, we decided to drop by. I quickly set ourselves down for dinner @ Glass House that evening at 7pm.


We had the Mother's Day Deluxe Platter and a kid's meal on the house! Thanks Fish & Co. for the birthday and Mother's Day treat :)
