Big Brother's First Paid Hair Cut!

Sorry for the non update! I was taking a break from blogging, initially it was suppose to be a month's break, but a break is a break so shiok, i missed the momentum to sit still and complete my numerous drafts that i started! I still have so many things I wanted to share about but hahaha, i will complete the posts one day! 

Sharing one of my happiest moments as a Mother! Big Brother finally had his first paid haircut after so many years! It may mean nothing to others, but sometimes you may not know what are the things that we have been taking granted for life and how blessed we are! 

Since the first time i brought Big Brother to a barber when he was around one years old, we realised that he was crying hysterically throughout. We later realised that he had a very big phobia of hair cuts! We had tried to bring him to many different hair salons or barbers but the trips always ended up with the shop owners asking us to leave without cutting his hair. 

And so, I have self trained to become the barber for my boy. The first few times I only trimmed his fringe and it ended up disastrous. Thereafter, EVERYONE (family, relatives and even strangers) kept on complaining WHY THE MOTHER never bring the boy for hair cut, why she never cut his hair etc. It's like it's ALL my fault... No one understands the challenges. 

I read back at what I wrote this on my blog before:

Accepting has allowed things to move on - for example, now I know he has sensory issues - that a shaver will not work on him and he cannot wear the protective gown and yet he go into a hysterical meltdown when the cut hairs fall onto him. No one believes me when I said that no hairdresser or barber dares to cut Kyle's hair because Kyle will go hysterical at their shops.. Everyone thinks I am lazy or can't understand why I am not cutting my son's hair. Even my hubby has problem holding Kyle down and when he gave up trying, I attempted to cut Kyle's hair myself. If I don't cut his hair, no one else could and I am his mother. If I don't cut his hair, I am the one that gets blamed by everyone. The first few times I cut his hair last year, I had to pin him down with my own body, we both ended up lying down on the bathroom floor with baby crying outside. Some people may comment that "Huh?! Why he is like that? He is so big now still afraid to cut hair?" Well, I can only say that my son is not the only person in this world that is afraid of getting his hair cut, and *shrugs* you are just lucky that your child does not have this issue!! At least, my son is one that really look very good with long hair.. so why let his hair bother you? And for myself, I applaud that I am turning into quite an experienced self trained hairdresser and I no longer have to pin him down anymore. 

We have came such a long way!!! You can read more about our haircut journey. As the boy grows older, I become more stressed about cutting his hair. I was so afraid of blotching up, because he will have to go to school with bad haircuts right? And Primary School is a lot stricter, i have to cut his hair rather frequently because he was ever told off by the Discipline Master once for the tail that was growing out from behind. And... haha, each time i cut his hair this year, I have to start talking to him like weeks before to prep him until he is ready for me to cut his hair.

Luckily Little Brother do not have issues with haircuts, I started bringing Little Brother for paid haircuts this year, and will showed off pictures & videos of his haircut to Big Brother. I even brought Big Brother along for Little Brother's haircut but each time he was adamant.

So, I was rather surprised when one day after school, Big Brother told me he would like to go to the shop to cut his hair! It was so sudden, but I do not want to miss the opportunity! I quickly brought him immediately to the salon to buy a haircut ticket!

Haha, it kinda helps that the founder of K-Cuts has the same name as Big Brother. So he asked for a picture with his poster!

He was jittery and nervous

So i asked him to take a look at others having their haircuts. NO ONE is crying, i told him. 

Namo Namo powers to be brave!

And then it was his turn! I did explained to the young man hairdresser that it's Big Brother's first paid haircut, and we will stop if Big Brother is not able to continue. As I used my phone to show him videos to distract him, so i wasn't able to take pictures of him during the haircut. But my heart, it's stressful thinking if he might act up, but it's also beaming with pride and tears!! He sat through the whole thing, and was even chatting with the young man hair-dresser! 

Tadah!! Big Brother's first paid haircut! I had told the stylists to go shorter so I don't have to come back so often! LOL

I am one happy mummy!!

Keeping my baby's first tooth

Earlier this year, in March, Big Brother had his school dental appointment and all was well. Just barely a month later, one day while i was chatting with Big Brother, i noticed something extra in his mouth so i asked him to open his mouth wide for me to see.

Was stunned to find two new teeth growing right behind his lower front baby teeth! My friend told me that this is called shark teeth. Haha. The adult tooth is growing before the baby tooth falls off! 

Big Brother was very very anxious when the lower front baby teeth began to shake. God knows how much he fussed over more than two weeks because of the loose teeth! :S I had borrowed MANY books from the library about losing baby teeth and read with him. Still, he is scared silly and doesn't want his baby tooth to be loose at all. The anxiety he felt about the old and new teeth was very real and yet nothing I did can console him except by distracting him.

So, in preparation for his first tooth to fall, i went online to order and search for something that can keep his baby tooth. I found this very very lovely baby tooth box on Qoo10, and the price is also very very friendly at less than S$20 including delivery to my home! I showed it to him and tell him that we will be keeping all his baby teeth into the box and label the dates he lose them etc. 

One fine day in school, Big Brother finally dropped his first tooth and he remembered to keep it properly in the pencil case and brought it back home.  Before that, he didn't forgot to show off to his friends and teachers! *bleah*

I love this wooden tooth box to bits! Don't you just love it?

Another week later, he shed the other loose tooth in the morning before we left home for school, and we get to add one more tooth to his tooth box! 

I realised that keeping the fallen teeth in a tooth box like this, helped him forgot about the anxiety of loosing the tooth and instead it became so fun and hands on - the washing of the tooth, identifying which tooth he lost, labeling the date etc. Actually, it's very fun and exciting for mummy too!

FairPrice Walks With U 2016!

Last year, we were looking forward to attend the FairPrice Walks with U 2015 which was supposed to be in Mar 2015, but it was cancelled as a Mark of Respect for Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Last Sunday, we were so thrilled to participate in the FairPrice Walks with U 2016!

If you have not heard about it, FairPrice Walks with U is an annual non-competitive mass walk brought to us by NTUC Fairprice Co-operative Ltd. It aims to brings together families and members of the community from all walks of life and for maintaining a healthy lifestyle! At the same time, NTUC is taking the lead to show how we can give back to others, FairPrice Foundation pledged a $150 FairPrice voucher for every registered participant of this walk. This year, S$1.2 million worth of vouchers will go towards the FairPrice Food Voucher Scheme, which provides vouchers for needy families to purchase daily essentials through grassroots organisations of all 87 constituencies in Singapore!

From my understanding, the FairPrice Walk is always sold out rather quickly upon launched every year! It's because the per pax rate is only from a mere S$10/pax! And participants will receive the walking tee as well as a super generous goody bag!

Registration fees start from S$10 only!

The super generous goody bag is heavy and full of goodies!

So from only S$10 per pax, we get to keep the event tee and goodie bag, as well as participate in half a day's of family bonding fun, AND on top of that, money is raised and set aside by NTUC Foundation to help the needy! I can't think of any reason why the walk will not be sold out! So if you are keen, act super fast next year!

This year, the walk is held at Singapore Sports Hub. The trail started from around the national stadium and is shaded for a good 1km of the walk! Weather was also very kind! It was cloudy and not hot till after 10am! 

It's the first time we had a multi-generations walk together!

Us at the starting point

My mum was super amazed by the generosity of the sponsors at the event!
Almost every booth was giving out free food, drinks and even some product samples! 

Music and singing kept participants entertained during and after the walk, and while we are queuing for drinks and food!

Do look out for the event again next year and register early to join in this meaningful multi-generations walk!

{Product Review + Discount Code} Makura Health and Neck Support Pillow

I am not sure if I am the only person with this problem or if there are many others like me. 

Since my teenage years, especially when I doing in my Tertiary education, I started having trouble falling asleep because I wasn't able to find the most comfortable position for my head! It's either too high and ended up too low, and the next day i would mostly end up with a stiff neck and migraines. 
I start to develop problems with sleeping well, mainly due to having trouble falling asleep and the constant flipping throughout the night as I couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep in. As a result, I started developing neck and back issues from a young age. 

You know, during my parents time, they know nothing about different pillows - we just buy whichever that is cheaper and we should use it for a lifetime! 

So now (after so many years!), unless I am mindful, else I would be naturally sloughing  (the ugly hunched back) and worst... the back of my shoulders are permanently tightened in high tension (all the masseurs that massage for me would always comment how come the back of my shoulders are so tight), it's as if I am forever in a high tension mode.  And.. I changed my pillow very often, I am still looking for the best pillow for me! 

Somehow, I have tried so many pillows, whatever that seems to be just nice will ended up with me flipping through the night again, for example:

• The height of pillow was just nice but I ended up waking in sweat around my head and neck even though I am sleeping in an air-conditioned room 
• When i finally found a pillow that has better air circulation and heat dissipation, it wasn't able to retain its height
• And when i finally found a pillow that has better air circulation and heat dissipation and can retain its height.... it's slightly too high for me!
• And.. I am not sure if I am the only sensitive weirdo around, I had trouble finding a right height pillow because the height that I needed changes when I am lying head down or when I am sleeping sideways! 

I had been trying out the Makura Health and Neck Support Pillow for close to one month now, let me share more about this new and very interesting product and how different it is from conventional pillows on the market!

The Makura pillow is made in Japan!

Packaging of product looks like any other pillow.
I love keeping these pillow carriers, it is very good to be used to keep the clothes that children outgrown!

I am intrigued by the grainy fillings within the pillow!
I was really very surprised and impressed when i opened and saw what was inside the pillow!

Within the packaging, it also comes with a pillowcase that I am now using as a pillow protector for this pillow!

So if we look at the product itself, I wasn't sure how different this pillow would be from all my other pillows, on the product packaging, it states almost the usual things that a pillow would promise but something caught my eye! 

Did you see the words "Special Capsules" and you can adjust the pillow height by adding or removing the capsules??

I was in for a surprise! What capsules is it talking about? A pillow is usually filled with cotton, feathers, polymers or memory foam! I had seen husks filled pillows too, but capsules?! And so i turn the pillow all over and found a zip which i open it up to see what's inside!

Are you ready to find out what this pillow is filled with? 

.

.

.

.

.

Tadah! This pillow is filled with these special plastic lookalike capsules in a few shapes!

So having tried the pillow for almost one month now, let me share with you my experiences! 

First Try

When I rested on my head on the pillow for the very first time, the pillow felt very very firm. I immediately thought of how the people slept in the olden days with a wooden pillow (those we sees in a chinese period drama)? I wonder if the pillow would be too hard for me. 

I also can feel the capsules moving itself along with my head and neck as i try turning around! It felt a little I was given a massage whenever i moved! And the pillow quickly fitted into a comfortable height, be it when I am lying head down (which I will need a lower pillow) or sleeping sideways (which I will need a higher pillow)!

After the first night with the pillow

As we co-sleep with Little Brother and I am still nursing him, he would always wake for comfort latching at night, because of this, for the past three years both Little Brother and I had been waking very frequently throughout the night every day!

But the first night I tried the Makaru Health and Neck Support Pillow, I woke the next morning, totally surprised that both Little Brother and I slept through the night!!! 

It was after a few nights that I realised that it wasn't Little Brother waking up at night for comfort latching! It had been ME! It was my frequent turning and tossing in the nights that woke Little Brother, and thus the need to comfort latching to make him fall asleep again. And when he fallen asleep, i would turn and toss again to find my comfort head spot and that's when I risked waking him again!!! If i ignored his fussiness, he would in turn wake everyone else up which again I suffer!

So with the Makura pillow, I had been turning lesser in my sleep, and thus waking Little Brother lesser too! And to think that I had always been wondering why I couldn't wean Little Brother off comfort latching! Hahaha!

So it's important to find the correct pillow, for it not just affect our own quality of sleep, using an unsuitable pillow can affect the sleeping partner's quality of sleep too! 

Key Benefits of Active Hive’s Makura Health and Neck Support Pillow:

• Better air circulation and heat dissipation
  The unique capsules inside of the pillow provide better air circulation while you are asleep, thus providing more comfort and less heat retention, contributing to a better sleep experience.
• Pillow retains its height and does not change shape
  In order for optimum support, the pillow retains its height all throughout a good night’s sleep, and does not change, thus it is at the optimal shape throughout the whole night without compromising comfort.
• Adjustment of pillow height can be done by adding / removing the capsules
  Inside each pillow, there is a certain number of capsules provided. However, not everyone’s natural physique is the same, thus the amount of capsules inserted can be removed in order to suit your most comfortable neck and head position.
• Uninterrupted, deep quality sleep as neck is aligned in its optimum angle
  The pillow is shaped uniquely such that the neck and head are properly positioned. This leads to deep quality sleep providing proper rest that is uninterrupted. In the case of uncomfortable pillows that do not provide proper posture, one may tend to have trouble finding the right sleeping position and have interrupted sleep, which leads to not feeling well-rested the following day.
• Hygienic and allergy-safe
  The pillow is 100% allergy-safe without any harm or risks to those with sensitive skin or dust allergies as the capsules are machine-washable, thus ensuring safe use for all. (Place pillow in washing net and place in wash machine to wash and spin dry, leave it to air or sun dry. DO NOT use a dryer.)
• Relieves and gets rid of neck and shoulder pain
  By adapting to the right sleeping position every night, the neck and shoulder aches caused by poor posture throughout the day becomes alleviated, and corrects posture problems. Without aches and pains, those who have been suffering from poor posture are able to correct their posture even while awake, leading to more comfort in everyday activities.
• Wake up more alert and well-rested
  By having the right posture and achieving uninterrupted sleep, it directly benefits one’s energy levels and attention. Over time, the energy that you gain from sleeping in an optimal position enables you to achieve more in daily life.

Event: Madagascar Live! at MBS

Our family had a really great blast at the Marina Bay Sands MasterCard Theatre yesterday evening! We went there to catch the opening of the Madagascar Live! Do you know that they will be in town from 21 to 24 April 2016 only?! Catch them before they fly to another country!

It's the opening of Madagascar Live!

We were waiting excitedly for the show to start!

We had watched all the three Madagascar movies countless time and yesterday night, we get to reminisce the children's favorite cartoon brought alive on stage through lively storytelling, dance and music! At first we didn't know what to expect, but we were treated to the whole of Madagascar Part One brought alive right in front of our eyes - we truly enjoyed the wild and action-packed adventures as Alex the lion, Melman the giraffe, Marty the zebra, Gloria the hippo and the plotting penguins as they escape from their home at New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves on an exciting unexpected journey to the madcap world of King Julien’s Madagascar! From Marty's birthday surprise in the zoo in New York City, to the running away, to getting caught and transferred in crates on the ship to them falling off the ship and castaway to King Julien’s island, every scene is brought alive on stage! My personal favorite is the dramatic animals on subway scene! 

Like the movie, the musical is a fun-filled celebration of friendship and good times, how even though Marty the Zebra, a herbivore and Alex the lion, a carnivores, are the best of friends and stand the test of friendship even though Alex may have eaten Marty because of his hunger! I like how this important message is reinforced live on stage so that it will have a bigger impact on the children. 

The show is also a vivid showcase of imaginative sets and costumes, peppy dance numbers and spectacular new songs that kept us entertained from the beginning until the end! I was admiring the costumes of Marty, Alex, Gloria and Melman! It's so detailed, paddings were added for the extra curves or muscles and I wonder how the actor of Melman kept himself from falling at all!

Love how lively the show was, even love the costumes by the cast!

My boys are not the dancing with the music type, but they were kept glued throughout!

Words alone are simply not good enough to tell you how influencing the show is! I managed to capture and share with you the short excerpt of the "Move it! Move it!" song segment!

Wanna know how "high" the audiences were (both kids and adults) towards the end of the show?

More Information

This live adaptation of the popular animation film Shrek brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favourite ogre to the stage. In a far away kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an ogre – not a handsome prince – shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey that does not keep quiet, a villain with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairytale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand and his name is Shrek!
