Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
This coming Chinese New Year 2024 is the year of the wood dragon and to celebrate this special occasion, I have received this stunning Dragon Phoenix Kimono Robe from Ulivary Life for review. Little did we know, the history of the kimono dates back to the Japanese Heian period (794 – 1185).
My first encounter with period pants was four years ago when I was talking to parents with visually impaired children. I was doing research hoping to prepare my daughter, Ms C, for her first period and wanted to know how other visually impaired children cope with the normal way of putting on sanitary pads. It’s not easy for her especially as she only has less than 50% of her vision left. She was not able to tell if she had applied it correctly or when she should change it. So when one of the mothers told me about period pants, I felt enlightened.
What gifts would make your loved one’s Valentine’s Day sweeter than a box of chocolates? When it comes to showing the special someone in your life just how much they mean to you, unique and memorable gifts are always a great way to do it. Best of all, something that she can wear gives a constant reminder of your love every day!
Just after Boxing Day, we invited our friends to come and celebrate our buddy dog Mabel’s sixth birthday, and at the same time, I also planned a list of individual and team games with our guests. This game show took me nearly three days to plan and print!

When you outfit your office, you are most likely to focus on the desks, office chairs, laptops and printers as these are the tools that you need to get the job done. However, you must not forget to equip it with good storage solutions, such as a portable and lockable file cabinet to provide you the space to organise and store your important papers in one place. It can also help keep those pesky office thieves away from your favourite snacks!
Street Fighter is one of the most iconic fighting game franchises of all time, but how many people can say they know what it’s really about? It was so popular in the 1980s when many arcades had at least two or three machines to keep up with demand!

Since the start of the pandemic, the number of people working from home has dramatically increased and the same goes for Mr C.

Looking after our natural environment is to protect our most precious inheritance for our children. We always try and do our best to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Another month, another puzzle done! This time around, I have been piecing the panorama-shaped puzzle that I had bought from Erasmus Darwin House’s puzzle sales. This is quite an unusually shaped puzzle, I have had to use two white foam boards to make the base for the puzzle. I loved the scenery depicted in the picture, but it is quite inconvenient to physically move around to puzzle to piece it, especially as the puzzle is wide. It is not my favourite shape to do. Nevertheless, the end result is amazing!
With so many brands of cordless vacuum cleaners in the current market, it can be difficult for consumers to know which product is most suitable for them. In our household, as a family of four plus a large dog, it is convenient to own a lightweight handheld cordless vacuum cleaner for smaller and quick jobs around the house! They’re well-suited for elderly or single people living in a small house to save storing and lugging a big vacuum cleaner around.
When it comes to Father’s Day, birthdays or even Christmas Day, many men might insist they don’t need anything when it comes to gifts or presents. They can make it tough for anyone wanting to buy them a gift.
