Dressing Kids Up - Tip #9

---

Dressing Kids Up Tip #9 - The right amount.Don't overdress that poor little kid. They are adorable the way they are. Just a touch of accessory will compliment them. Things like boots are loud enough to keep everything else simple so don't go pair them up with shiny poofy things on their hair. Or bright-colored oversized hats to go with funky candy-colored sunnies. Keep it practical, like Mish at

Midnight Encounters

---

These days around midnight or close, I'd find myself in a state of shock. Like last night, I was lying down on the floor next to the coffee table watching Idol, I saw a pair of (toddler's) legs from under it. Other times while I was in the kitchen, I'd catch glimpses of a tottering entity in the dark, accompanied by clicking sounds of the pacifier ring hitting against it's shield. Pumpkin

Toileting Newbies

---

If you're the type who has the habit of buying clothes for your kids way before they can fit into them, avoid buying trousers in advance for 2-4yr old girls. Cos that's when they're most likely to be newly toilet-trained and wearing trousers can be a nightmare when you're out in public. They have the habit of telling you only at the last minute. The only time Munches gets to wear her jeans is

Dressing Kids Up - Tip #8

Dressing Kids Up Tip #8 - The right jeans.Big Blood (note: new term for the big brother) recently came back from a US flight with new clothes for the girls. Among them were a pair of jeans each. You see I'm rather particular with jeans so I don't exactly know how to say this without hurting his feelings. But flare jeans for kids are kind of wimpy for now. Not all jeans look cool. They have to be

Give A Little Respect

---

When I was growing up, I remember constantly being reminded to salam or acknowledge people I come in contact with, esp those elder than me. But these days, the teenagers I come in contact with seem to have no decency for that. They can go googoo gaga over your kids but completely ignore the person whose bleeding p*p*k/vjayjay tore to make way for these babies. Not even an eye-contact, what more a

The 4th Year - Munchkin

---

We did low-key for her 4th which was just a mini-celebration at school. Aaand we finally got her a bicycle. Tried dissuading her from the pink bikes but it failed (obviously). This was a compromise and of course the psycho mother who was unwilling to disgrace her (imaginary) indie-rock reputation had to pry off every existing tacky sticker found on it. And hoping to replace it with skulls

Chatterbox

Munchkin is in a highly fidgetive and talkative phase.We were at a mall and she insisted on holding on to a disposable chopstick after we had our food. She fidgeted with it and kept dropping it while we walked so the frustrated mom who was gripping her hand on one hand and carrying a plastic bag on the other said "CAN YOU STOP PLAYING WITH THE CHOPSTICK?". The next minute, we were in a shop and

Dressing Kids Up - Tip #7

Dressing Kids Up Tip #7 - The right polo.I have a love-hate relationship with polo t-shirts. Hate when they're over-sized or when the sleeves appear poofy. Love when they're vintage, snug and striped. Just exactly how Shibly wears it.Photo courtesy of Natyler.

Family of Black and Red

---

This thing with colors was inspired by Jarvis Cocker.extracted from an interview:Camille: Jarvis did this thing that I love. At first I thought it was weird, but now I like it. When we go out he checks to see what I'm wearing, like the colours or shapes. It's not that he tries to match me but he can dress in the same family of colours. It's this old school way of showing that you belong.Jarvis:

Red, White, Blue

One of the things I like about having a mini-collective of my own is, they become an outlet for my lunatic obsession with color-coords. Not a fan of identical getups though. It's just colors.

Queue for a Kiddy Show

---

5yrs ago, I sniggered and rolled my eyes at disgusting crazy-ass parents who'd queue over an hour with/for their kids for a space to watch one of those free kiddy shows in the malls on school hols even tho the kids didn't ask for it.Karma's a bitch.

Well-balanced Weekend.

---

We arranged for band practice on Saturday so in order not to feel so bad about leaving the kids, I took them out earlier in the day for some fun.In hopes to tire them out so when they spend the next couple of hours sleeping at home minded by Matriarch and helper, we ran for practice. When Sunday came, Mister had to sleep in after a graveyard shift but I've gotten used to doing things with the kid
