We are The Ongies

Gone with the cartoon type of blog theme hubby had for the family. He always been the one searching up and down for a nice blog theme. He feel good after changing the blog theme, rearrange it and making it minimalistic. Neat is the keyword to everything. Hubby is not an IT web personnel, so there are some stuff he really need to look into (removal of some HTML coding) The color theme (on top) is in black now. He wanted to make it to either beige or baby purple, unfortunately, he is unable to detect the correct coding! Searching for nice theme is not easy. Personal preference is top priority, take your time to search if it is not your cup of tea! Source: http://www.marchena35.com Especially when you are using Blogger, you will have a lot of headache because most of the nice theme belong to WP. Instead of whining non stop about the theme, perhaps paying to a designer may helps you ease your mind. At least everything is customisable. State what you want, the designer ...

Today, hubby had to reprimand Cait by not giving her the chance to skate (scooter) to her school. Due to her naughtiness, she had been forbidded to watch her anime in car while on the way to school as well. This also goes out to Clar because she was the starter of the whole event. By the time Cait was in school after the usual health check up, she mumbling non stop so that hubby will be able to pick up her unhappiness. Time was 0830hrs, the girls were punctual and they are supposed to be in school by then. Cait said:" See... come so early also use. I don't even have a chance to skate my scooter to the school! " Hubby know that Cait is a very sensible, but yet can be very sensitive; he agreed to let her go to playground after school only if she behave well in school. Just as promised, hubby did brought the two girls enjoyed their run and playfulness in the playground. This is about give and take. Knowing they are in wrong, hubby will tend to take away their r...

Kids TV is very navie and cute if you do not think so much about the content. However, hubby being one of those parents that been forced to watch the show together, had a different perspective when he recently found out the interesting wild imagination from the creator. Bubble Guppies Credits: wikipedia Apparently,the color and animation used are very nice and cute. That is the reason Cait simply love to watch this series. One day, hubby sat down with the girls and watch together and found something illogical that he kept laughing by himself. Totally does not make sense to him, and he quickly told the wifey to watch it too. What is the thing that amuse hubby? This is something the kids have not learn about it yet. Guppies, live in the water. To adult, it is everything related to underwater world. When hubby saw clouds, cars, lamp and everything on land were in the water, he rubbed his eyes and view it again. Oh gosh, this is quite misleading to the kids. Rather than...

Stumble upon this interesting article, hubby would like to share with you - grateful and hands on. How to give your kids everything but a sense of entitlement What you as a parent would like to give to your kids, or rather, how many? When hubby read the part on Lego, his memory flashed back as a kid because he wanted the Lego pirate ship badly from the defunct Emporium. It was one of new model been launched for months and costing $100 is quite heavy for the parents to buy for him. Therefore, all he can do is to visit the Emporium and admired the pirate ship from the shelves. Even when hubby was not able to have that, he will not buy toys to both Cs uncontrollably. He wanted them to understand and appreciate of what they have, rather than nagging non stop till they get it. Toys brings kids a lot of joy - wild imagination, role playing and think of script to talk. Till date, even the two Cs love to mess around with the blocks - Lego , hubby feel very excited to build th...

*This is a sponsored post* Product: Darlie Expert White Cost: $5.90 for 120g Where to get: Available at all leading department stores Press release for more information  (Download) Video review with test by Lian Meiting g Review: Having been a Darlie user for many years, I was pleasantly surprised to see the launch of their “Expert Solution” range of product - the Darlie Expert White toothpaste. I had tried other brands and Darlie’s earlier range of whitening toothpaste and in comparison, this new Darlie Expert White is definitely a boon for people like me who want a set of brighter, whiter teeth, in a fuss free manner and most importantly, at a very affordable cost. Without having to do anything special or extra, just by brushing my teeth as per normal using Darlie Expert White daily, it was really convenient and results started to show after about a week of continued usage. I used the Expert White toothpaste together with Darlie’s new Charcoal Spiral ...

Pancake! Yummy! She did that herself. Cait requested for pancake, so wifey decided to bring the girls to do it together. With friends help, they decided to go to Nook , the DIY pancake shop at Bukit Timah, a nice cosy dining environment. The Ongies, along with hubby's mom and his sister with her son, Kyan, head up together and enjoy the making of pancake! Not worry about Cait, but Clar. Since she is a bit clumsy, it is best to monitor her head to toe. Checking out the menu Tiring Cait? Beautiful dining environment Are you ready? This is not a good hot platef for kids because of the shape Grandma and Cait Yummy name Latte Hot plate for pancake Attempting to try making her own design Yummy food, but may not be the best. She can't be tired now. Targeting the M&M? A car for Cait Cait's name pancake The kids literally enjoyed themselves, with the drawing and eating of pancake that the...

Just weeks ago, Clar had to bid good bye to her favourite teacher, Siti. According to her, she had been posted somewhere else, fortunately, nearby. Siti had been in her class for the past one year, (think so?) Everytime after putting Clar in school, when she saw Siti, she will remain quiet and walk quietly to her - even though she is crying. That time, Siti, seem like the only one that Clar is quite afraid of. (bravo bravo) But with her leaving, the Ongies hoping that Clar will adapt well... which she is now. First is Azizah, then now Siti. So far, both of them had been performing very well in school. There's no major feedback about these two girls. (finger cross) For Cait, she had been complaining about the no standing during Science alive class on Monday. Not fully knowing about her reason, wifey decided to pull her out instead. The main cause - interests. Cait develops well with arts instead. But because of her poor holding of pen/ pencils, she simply cannot draw w...

Cait is not fully discharged yet, she is just taking home leave from hospital. If from morning till tomorrow, there's no sign of fever at every 4hrly, she can be discharge by doctor recommendation. She will have to take the antibiotic via spoon if her fever subside, if not, she may have to take it either by injection or put on drip. When she heard that she is going home, everyone mood lightened up. Her appetitie is very good as compared since on Monday night. She sing, dance, talk and debates... That is Caitlyne style. Nothing beats the word: Going Home. She feel into deep sleep when she was in car, and home. A place she felt secured. Even while she is in hospital recovering, there's not much of resting time after all. She have to take the neubuliser every 4 hours, noise from other beds too. Goodness, she is able to take in the neubuliser while half asleep, provided her ear is covered by the sound. Wifey is so tired taking care of Cait, from morning till night. So...

It had been a long time since wifey had her own time and away from kids during weekend. On Saturday morning, wifey decided to head down for an art class which she been wanted to attend such lesson since then. Hubby did not object but encourage her to go for it. At least this is the moral support for her. Mean while, by chance, their grandmother was on leave that day. Therefore, by bringing the kids to Kids Amaze at Toa Payoh is not a big issue! They were excited and anxious about it when they knew they will be heading down there the day before. It was not an easy task to take care of them, running up and down, going through all the obstacle is no joke for a grown up man. Even for the slide, hubby had to ensure Clar is tucked in properly in between his leg before heading down. Instead of being scared, Clar enjoyed so much till they have at least 5 rounds! Hubby was dead beat by then. But the kids enjoyed to the max, but Cait still dare not to play alone. With Clar around, it...

Previous post you may want to read them up Hong Kong Trip Part 1 Hong Kong Trip Part 2 Hong Kong Trip Part 3 Hong Kong Trip Part 4 Hong Kong Trip Part 5 Hong Kong Trip Part 6 This got to be one of the longest blog part hubby had ever written. There are so many things to cover and hope that you find it useful if you are going on the trip like The Ongies. Surviving this trip is not an easy task, the key focus is patience. When the kids are fussing, try not to push them to a corner or leave them as a punishment. You won't want things to happen if the kids went missing, right? Of course, back in Singapore applies. Everyone was very happy because of the cooling weather, food and the scenery. No doubt the weather is cold, the humidity is very dry. Bring along a lip balm if you can, alternatively, you can buy from the shop as well. It was a great night sleep on the more cosy bed in Disneyland. Everyone slept well deeply. The kids were so tired that they cannot getup in ...
