We are The Ongies

Credit to friend: Yukun There are a lot of talking about the infinity war and they totally love it. So I guess that you have not watch the movie, right? Do not worry, we have not watch either one of it and seriously speaking, we are totally lost. There are so many of them and I know that they are linked together - more or less. We have Iron man, hulk, those avengers etc. Gosh, if you are the person who prefer to watch the story in line, it is better for you to pick up a comic as they based from it. Apparently, I am not a comic fan, so I have no source where to find them. I prefer movie due to the CGI, sound effect and surround. Alright, let's cut the post even shorter. This is shared by a friend and I will watch all of them based on this sequence. There is an article about it too, but half way through, I am lost. Too much information. This is it. Watch the movie in sequence for better understanding. 1.1 Iron Man (2008) 1.2 The Incredible Hulk (20...

Location: Yuhua Place, Jurong East Ave 1, BLk 347 I have not been here for more than 10 times despite coming here during my school days after my Saturday ECA session. (Forgotten to take photo) Good food that I ate: Sungei laksa - Top Singapore food - If you love light gravy, this is it. If not, this is not for you. Carrot cake/ Chee Cheong Fun - I like hot food, yummy. Peng Kuey - If you like Soon Kuey and Peng Kuey, this is the place you should try it. It is a pity that wet market is not as popular as like before. Despite there are a number of empty stalls, you will still be able to get what you want. They look more fresh than those pack in the packet in the supermarket. As you are buying grocery from wet market, please remember to bring a long your cash, they do not accept paywave or give you link point. This is so old days that has never change before. I love it! Health is number one concern in our country, so people will tend to look out for healthier choice th...

Hello there! It had been exactly 2 years since I last update this blog. I have thought this blog may go into a stage of no return, but I am afraid not. This area is going to be updated, as soon as I am free. I will be sharing more and more stuff if I manage to see something interesting. These 2 years have been very tough. The two monsters are now in Primary school and they are coping very well. As a parent, I must be careful on my writing because too much information may bring danger to the kids. Ever since my last blog features my renovation, I happened to notice that there are quite a number of picture frame being build up for their lovely home nest. If this idea came from my blog, I really appreciate that. Give credit lah, if there is. Since this is 2018 and now it is the year of the dog, I would like to say a big Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone. The most important is kinship and health. Without these two, everything is nothing at all. Let me share my...

The conversation with the kids had grown more challenging these days. The answer and reaction was stunning because it was not expected by the parents at all. Wifey had to apologize because she forgotten to pass Clar the items to school, but her reply was totally amazing. She said: " never mind never mind, it is already over. it's ok." Has the answer got you? Especially from a 4 year old kid? Seriously?! Little wonders what is in her mind to say such a sentence that shocked The Ongies. Perhaps the teacher really taught her very well? For instance, when wifey was explaining about reading books in dark area to Cait, Clar stood out and said. " If you read the book in the dark area, or watch too much TV, you get myopia! It's true! " she said. Oh my god.... While Clar is smart at this point, Cait has her own as well. She know that the dinner is not good, which explained why she has no appetite at all, and that include hubby too. So h...

A very good article shared by wifey. Do read it if you have the time: Cherish the Little Years by The Chirping Moms The article is beautifully written. Mesmerising the days when they were in your arms, sleeping soundly. Now they grown up, having their own ideas and things that they want. They are no longer the one sitting on the tiny plastic or wooden chair waiting for food while banging the table with the utensils. Those noise are nothing to compare to now. Gone the days of baby talk. =0) Years passes so quickly. Were those days just yesterday? It is hard to imagine how everyone gone through that stage. Nevertheless, parents gone through a lot by testing their patience, knowing more nursery ryhmes and how to tackle using kiddos language. Try doing that now, you will get face palm from your kid who is 6 years old now. Years maybe long, but it is shorter when everyone look back. Very soon, lovingly Cait will be entering another stage of her life - academic....

The first picnic of 2015 that The Ongies had attended is proudly organised by Families for life and President's Office . On the 3rd of Jan 2015 (Saturday), Istana had opened up for member of public to head up in for fun activities. The Ongies managed to get their package free via online registeration. The day started with gloomy weather and entering to Istana is at 3pm. Long queues are expected as they have to do routine check and scanning of individual visitors. It took merely 45min to reach to the scanning point, followed by a long trail of walk to the top. Despite the long distance walk, it is a gradual slope upwards which may take up to 10min, depending on individual stamina. Loud music can be heard from far, and there are 2 colored balloons leading the people to event area. Upon reaching the top, there is a nice big green patch of grass in front of them.  There are small bouncing castle for the kids to play, kicking of balls to the goal post, Milo truck, ic...

Merry Christmas to everyone! It is going to be a busy day with the family. Cait had her present opened yesterday as she was excited for her new game - Monopoly Empire ! ( She chose this game herself and insisted that she want this Empire ) Clar will open her's tomorrow. ( Seem to forogtten what is her present ) This is definitely a game that hubby also been wanted to play with the kids. A simple board game will teach the kids how to use the money to buy and pay for things. During the game play, Cait had the most earned and get emotional when she does not have any money left because she been buying billboard. She also know how to make use grab action and exchanged for a bigger billboard when she threw the dice. They have no idea whether Cait really understand the game, but she is pretty smart on making use of every opportunity. While she walked away from the game, hubby had to tell her that this is just a game and they must play it fair till the end. As f...

Image: Copyblogger  The inactive of this blog does not means that The Ongies is not posting anymore. It is because there are a lot of problem arise recently. So hubby decided to take a leave from the blogging here. Hubby recently decided to get into trading, hence setting up his own blog and share his journey; be it win or loss, he hope to have some readers who just started up and learn the mistake he gone through. Wifey had been busy preparing essential oil for the kids and adult when they fall sick. This is to prevent them from taking so many medications as they are made from chemical. Hubby would like to share the knowledge of the oils he had been using, which he find it is very useful. Image source:  harvestnewbeginning On the other hand for Cait, she had gone through the eye check up in school and the result is acceptable! Both eyes are 6/7.5, which is acceptable stage. It is important not to let her watch too much or TV, especially when it is night tim...

Taking the cane, shove at the kids as warning is not working anymore. They know, by heart, that parents will not cane them. This time, Cait and Clar were wrong when they tested hubby's patience. The first stroke down is a pre warning, it will followed by the 2nd time which is slightly harder than before. It is not easy for them to forget that moment when they realised the pain is not a joke, neither they knew that hubby is not acting at all. He know what to do when come to disciplinary this time. When the kids are getting out of control, such action is unavoidable. Screaming, shouting and slamming here and there will only result the kids to follow them. Hence, hubby ensured everyone must watch what they say and the cause of action; this also include the grandparents too. Hubby glad that Cait had progressed a lot better than before on her learning capabilities. Almost daily, hubby will spend 30min to 45min on her for Mandarin, English and Math. Since wifey is pretty bu...

Good sale service is very important when the family are shopping in the store. Sales executives personnel understand that children may be noisy and might attempt to mess up the place. Therefore, it is appropriate for the personnel to approach the customer in the courtesy way by hinting them that someone should look after the children before anything may happen. All parents will know that by heart. Apparently, this does not happen to The Ongies at all. The girls were well behaved in the yellow and blue theme electronic store at Lot One. All they did was climbed up to the lazy chair by using their knee power. They know their own limit by not allowing their shoes to step on the chair. When the salesman saw the girls were on the chair, he did not even attempt to approach The Ongies for assistance when they were looking at the dining table. Instead, he walked past them with his eyes looking ahead with no eye contact at all, mumbling to them while he kept on walking without stopping....

Excitedly, hubby glad that PUB ABC site is up for sometimes. For those who do not know, ABC actually means Active , Beautiful and Clean . As mentioned on the site , this is their focus: Launched in April 2006, the ABC Waters Programme is part of PUB’s larger strategic objective to bring people closer to water so that they can better appreciate and cherish this precious water resource. The ABC Waters Masterplan has identified more than 100 projects for implementation in phases over the next 10 to 15 years since the launch of the programme. Under the first phase, over 20 projects will be implemented by 2012.

This seem to be a very interesting moment/ conversation with Cait when hubby drove her home yesterday. Clar is not feeling well, so she have to stay at home - at least to prevent the HFMD (Hand Food Mouth Disease)  Both of them were in car when Cait took her favorite honey star box out from her bag and start munching it. Reaching at the red light, hubby's hand went to her honey star box and took a few of it, starting munching together with her. She stared blankly:" Eh.. daddy... why you take my honey star huh?" " Because I like to eat it. " said hubby with guilt. " Really huh? Okai, then you take a bit from mine. " Cait said it happily with open heart. " Thanks girl, I shall take one time only because daddy like it a lot . Better to control my diet. " " Ok daddy. " And she keep on enjoying her favourite snack. " Girl, don't eat so many of those, it is nearly dinner time. Later you will not be able to tak...

Self confidence It is not the dare or truth game. It is the self confidence building, either by herself or with the parents support. Cait was once a scary cat, like what Clar is now. Over sometimes, perhaps age grows, her self confidence begin to build up. This is something The Ongies are so happy with, except for her food 'daring game'. The dare The Ongies went to a birthday party lately, children and parents are all over, but Cait does not seem to be afraid, nor did she try to hide away. Instead, she bring and show Clar around as an elder sister instinct. She confidently went to a nail polish table booth and ask for fingernail polish. When she is done, she queued up herself to another counter. Hubby does not know what she is queuing for until he realised it is for face painting. A firm tone from hubby, asking if this is something she wanted to do it? She nodded. A min had passed, it is Cait's turn. Comfortably sitting on chair, swinging both h...

The Ongies will be very excited to go for another iLight 2015 if they are going to organise it again. Wifey had been wanted to visit this installation. And that very night they went, is the final Saturday night before the whole event comes to an end. In conjunction, there was Earth Hour celebration happening at the floating platform. The kids were so excited seeing the lights especially The Pool installation. Since the installation were placed all over, the best parking area will be at Marina Bay Link Mall, which is $4 for the first 3hrs. It was a long walk from MBLM all the way to floating platform and back. During the time, there's an hour lights off to celebrate Earth Hour. This is the time whereby Cait and Clar will learn about saving electricity power because of global warming. Well, it may take sometimes for them to learn about it. This will be a good memory too. It is definitely worth a trip down to MBS, enjoying the scenery de...

Growing up Time is so hard to keep up with. Now Caitlyne has just turned 5, in a year time plus, she will be entering another stage of life - Primary School. As a parents, they will soon feel the pressure. She is still enjoying her childhood happily. Hubby and wifey started to put on a little pressure on her - learning phase. The never ending testing patience limit from Caitlyne is not a joke. She seem to develop the rebellious attitude earlier than others. Her mentality and way of talking seem to change recently, it could be for the better good. Celebration Every year, Caitlyne get to celebrate her birthday in school. Therefore, without doubts, they approach Patty from Pat n Pastry again! Cait requested something special this year -  a princess castle cake! Since then, wifey had been busy looking high and low for the cake design over internet. While there are quite a number of gorgeous castle cake design, hubby suggested that they should not go for fondan...
