Asian Parenting Today.

24 Jul 2010This book was 1st introduced to me by the writer herself, Jennifer during my confinement. I called her for a postnatal home visit — RM150 for 1.5hrs — to help me with my breastfeeding dilemma, and she was an enlightenment. Natey has been fully breastfed ever since! Sadly, I didn’t really pay attention when she [...]
Baby Sign Language.
28 Jun 2010Baby Sign Language by Alison Mackonochie We bought this goodie yesterday at MPH Mid Valley for a steal price of RM19.90. Honestly I thought we would get our neck sliced for books like this. As you can see above, the visuals are very good as well. Here are some excerpts from the book, and why [...]

Children’s Picture Bible.
23 Dec 2009Last Tuesday, LBJ and I began our very first bedtime story ritual. And there’s no better way to begin this timeless tradition than reading the Book of Books inspired by God Himself ♥ Each night I would read one story to him. We’ve just finished the chapter about Isaac and Rebekah last night, so tonight [...]

Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes.
22 Oct 2009Do you remember your favourite Nursery Rhymes when you were a little boy or girl? A tune we can sing over and over again without ever getting bored. Even till this day, I sometimes find myself humming and singing along to those timeless classic rhymes. And the husband finds his wife ever so cute *winks* [...]
Digging to America.
1 Jul 2009My Verdict: Honestly, I bought this book because of its cover *LOL* But most importantly, I wanted to escape my usual Jodi Picoult bookathon I was interested to know what became of the 2 Korean baby girls adopted to America by an American couple and an Iranian couple. Despite the different cultures, I think they [...]

He’s just Not that into you.
22 Jun 2009The movie begins with the ultimate truth? 5yo Gigi gets pushed and called smelling like dog poo by a 6yo boy that she likes. Her mother consoles Gigi by telling her that the boy has a crush on her. The older Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) then narrates “We are all programmed to believe that, if a [...]

Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer.
7 Jun 2009My Verdict: I’ve learned a lot by watching the Dog Whisperer. Cesar has taught me everything from the very basic to the potential problems. I knew nothing about Dog Psychology, or that dogs had one *duh* How by being the Pack Leader can help create a balance and happy dog. And that Affection is the [...]

Vanishing to America.
29 May 2009This time it took me two weeks and a day to finish reading. I usually get to do about a chapter or two each night after playing fetch with Scubby. I would watch Picoult’s words perform the storyline in my mind, and Scubby would enjoy his belly being rubbed while comfortably snuggled next to my [...]

we are all monkeys, after all.
In: Inspired
20 May 2009The husband shared this really good article with me last night, and I finally read it this afternoon. It was written by a Canadian-American financial writer called, Robert G. Allen *google that* It was a rather long read — almost 5,000 words — that took me 15 minutes *digest digest* In a nutshell, Allen advocates [...]

i’m the Big BadhappyBookworm.
In: My Library|The Ups
16 May 2009Two words, Messy and Dusty! BigBadWolf wasn’t kidding when they claimed to have over 100,000 books. There could have been more, but who’s counting. I was too busy searching for what I might want, my eyes were almost falling off its socket. All the fictions were everywhere. Books were not organised according to genres or [...]
