Our new babies
Yup, we adopted TWO babies recently! River terrapin babies ;)
I got to know Pelf and her cool turtle conservationist job when she delivered an awesome talk in TEDxKL two months ago. Recently, she tweeted about the Adopt-A-Terrapin campaign by her team (Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia) and it made me all so interested! (i’m always interested in everything #gogreen all this while,...

Ramadhan 1432
Pre-Ramadhan:
Sarah’s school had a Ramadhan Charity Event: Night Walk at Taman Wetland Putrajaya. It was a last minute decision to participate after knowing that my friend, whose daughter went to the same school said that this might be the most important event for the school because they don’t have any sports day or end year concert (really? huhu).
Anyways, it was a fun night! the...

Going Up!
I can’t stop looking at this stunning re-creation of the balloon house from the movie ‘Up’. It’s simply fantabulous, don’t you think?
Magical……! Kudos to the National Geographic Channel and its team on this amazing project. *tabik spring!*
On a slightly related note, the 3rd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is happening this week! starting tomorrow – Thursday (17th) and ends...

As stubborn as the crank
Sarah: Daddy, this is a crank right? (pointing to the lever under the front car seat) You can turn it round and round and round right?
Daddy: Yup, but you just need to pull it up, not turn it. Let me show you how to do it. (Demo-ing it to Sarah)
Sarah: Ok ok let me try. Urghhh this crank is so stubborn! It doesn't want to go up!
Sarah: (Still trying to pull the 'crank' up). Daddy, I am Tok Mi, this crank is me, and going up is showering right?
\(*Q*)/ Talking about getting the concept right for this girl who hates to shower!

Controversies in Breastfeeding
When I went to siconf2010 recently as one of the volunteer for the babywearing segment, I never thought that we would also be given a goody bag each…full of goodies! **aww thank you!*. The best was definitely the CD (compact disc, not cloth diaper)…containing all the speaker’s slides! Oh wow, free knowledge I tell ya. *Lucky lucky lucky*. So I’m now sharing with you (sharing is caring :)...

And 10mo dJ prolly couldn’t appreciate anything, kesian dia.Turned out to be, the National Science Centre in Mont Kiara, was really not...

The inaugrual Susuibu.com International Lactation Conference 2010 (#siconf2010) was held recently and mbw was given a half an hour slot to spread the babywearing love <3 <3 <3. Adriana gave the talk while shida, neeza, shahnaz, farrah, k.faridah, fathin & I jadi tukang demo *hehe*.

Visiting Sling #5: Pognae SSC
I first knew about Pognae, a Korean made SSC (soft-structured carrier) when yumyum tweeted about it a few months back. The prints for the body panel was so kawaii and it looks really good on the Asian model (in terms of sizing I mean)! Since it’s made by Asian, I assumed it must’ve been made to suit Asian’s petite body , so it would generally give a better fit for a kemetot short ,...

It was a short visit so we didn’t get to really experience the luxury of this Norwegian wrap, but i would have to say i won’t dare wearing Zara outdoors in our Malaysian weather! The wrap is quite thick & the weave...

detergent choices for the modern cloth diaper.. →
….unfortunately this chart doesn’t have detergents sold here in Malaysia…(except GroVia’s Tiny Bubbles). I’m trying out Cosway biodegradable detergent now, but not sure whether it’s free from all those fabric enhancers :/
