New Template for my blog!

Gee...Did you like this new design of my blog? I just love it!! The blue background is just simply so beautiful. My poor blog, which I have abandon for so long. I hope I will put more effort into this blog again, especially sharing the details of what my boys do at their playgroup with all of you here again.

Lazy to take pictures

I must admit that I no longer so actively taking pictures of my kids again now. During QQ's time, I count take at least a video clip a day to capture her growing up but unfortunately, I do not do that anymore for the boys. Sounds so unfair right? I hope by having my new bought camera, I'll be more actively posting their pictures again.

Using a DSLR

Before I returned the Nikon D90 to my brother, I brought the boys to a nearby park and did some shooting again. Boy, it was hot and too tiring. I hate our weather now and I remembered it wasn’t so hot when I was younger! (or is it I have higher body heat now that I am bigger and fatter?)

Also, I realised it is not as easy to do photography with young little boys, which still requires a lot of attention, in terms of feeding, carrying them. So I have decided a heavy camera like that is definitely not for me. No time to focus and care for the expensive camera as I need to place my full attention to the boys during outing.

Might consider a 4/3 later, if budget permits.

Science Centre for the kids

We took the opportunity to visit the Science Centre at Bukit Damansara 2 weeks back while they were having this Free Entry promotion for the month of April. It was a great opportunity to expose QQ to science as she frequently have difficult questions to ask about science and the universe. However most of the things exhibit there is still difficult for her to understand at this age.

Into playgroup again

Am so happy to go back to playgroup again. No, it isn’t the playgroup at the venue, Sg.Long Buddhist Society, where I used to organised.

Instead I brought the boys to join a friend, to join this playgroup, a Christian based one, situated near our place. Here we parents do not have to go on duty roster. Instead everything (from free play, circling time, snack, cafts) is prepared upfront, and there are 3 helpers to run the play and we only have to pay a minimal fee of Rm15 fee / kid/month.

It is easy for the boys, as they could speak, communicate to anyone unlike their shy sister. It was really fun for them. However we did not take any pictures this round (shy coz its the first time for us there, also). Shall take some pictures and share with you again next week.

Improvement in study

QQ's school homework is getting harder these days. I realised that I have neglected her a lot recently as she was getting it all wrong at her ejaan and "ding xie". Initially I thought she is such a slow learner but as I put more effort into teaching and guiding her, she seems able to catch up easily and learn quicker too. Even her results in school got better. Am really proud of her improvement, although she might not be the best in school :)

Attending playgroup again

We are finally attending playgroup again! I am joining some playgroup run by some organisation, starting next Tuesday where the boys are starting to attend playgroup. Some asked if I will be start running the one at Buddhist Society. Although I wish to, but I think timing is not right yet as I will need to do a lot preparation for that. Will see how it goes with the boys first for the first month. Can't wait to go next Tuesday!

Playgroup resume soon...YAY!!

It has been months, oh months since I update myself on this blog. Horrible me! And time flies and my boys will be 2 very soon. I hope I'll have more free time once they are older and easier to manage. Oh yes, did I tell you that our playgroup will resume again as soon as the boys reaches 2. I hope to update about our playgroup again here, once we get it started in September 2010.

What's up with Mama Patch

I am starting to worry as my boys are now taking too much of my time. Instead of spending more hours in front of the laptop, now I have to chase them all day long. I can only run to my laptop once in a while to check and reply urgent emails/orders. Since my neighbour is hospitalized now, I had to send QQ to school myself and even pick up her and some neighbour’s kids. Sometimes I even take more than 24 hours to reply emails, which can be quite embarrassing especially when I am running on online business.

Updates on Mama Patch Ring Slings

Some new Designer Pocket Ring sling, order customized by the customers
I get more orders for Ring Sling with Pockets nowadays as compare to the silk (which is still my favourite). Guess it is more convenient to wear a sling with pocket so we can at least go “free-hand” as we ladies hardly has pocket on our pants. As we allow customer to mix match the pocket prints and the color of the sling they want, they can really amaze me with the combination of design they come up with.

Most recent order, Barnsling Zip Pocket on White Ditte (Nah…I just wanna show off my new hair color ) I think this Barnsling will look very striking on Black Ditte too. To find out more variation you can create with our Designer pocket Ring Sling, do visit http://www.mamapatch.com/category/ring-sling-designer-pocket/

Updates on Mama Patch Modern Cloth Pads

Not only I am crazy about using cloth myself, I get very hooked up seeing the beautiful colors and combination I can come up with my products. Just can’t stand snapping pics of the cloth pads (You will think I am nut if you see me frequently lining up the colorful pads at my main sling door for the light I need for shooting!!) Hmm…at least something of my personal creation which I am really proud off! See more @ http://www.mamapatch.com/category/modern-cloth-pad/

Recent Discovery

After using cloth pad for my menses almost a year, I sometimes cannot be bothered if there are unremoveable stains on my pads. I am still sceptical about if it really gonna grow bacteria in the between layers so I decided to open up an old pad to check. Guess what’s my finding?

As I do not bother to soak with soapy water (you see, I can change new ones as frequent as I want, hehe…) the surface sometimes leaves stains. When I cut it up, I am SO SURPISE to see that the inner layers (right to the bottom) is actually as good as new!! Wonder why??

Well, the answer is because blood (blood from any part of our body, not just menses) is easily staineable ONLY when it is exposed to air. It will be good to sun your pads on the line as sun not only kills bacteria (hey, our blood is sterile anyway, OK!), it works great as a whitening agent too. But even if you don’t, you can now be assured that your pads is really clean in the inside (see picture above). Don’t believe, go open up your pad and check it out yourself


Updates on Mama Patch Petite Wetbags


Worry about the messiness of using Cloth Pads during outing? Here, is the solution by using wetbags. Mama Patch cute Petite Wetbags are designed for your convenience of pad storage. With just our single zip wetbag, you can keep the soiled pads in the zipped area (with pretty colorful waterproof lining) and separete the cleans one on the outer pocket. Isn’t it conveninent?Check out more prints @ http://www.mamapatch.com/category/wetbag/

Now if you are still lazy about bringing home soiled pads from shopping for hours, just go out with your disposable and bring a cloth for change when you are about to come back. Otherwise use only cloth at home on weekends and nights for a deep and comfy sleep.
Now you do not have any excuse for using cloth pad, do you?
