Watching him dived off the edge made me nervous.

What if he loses his balance?

What if he knocks his head on the side of the wall?

Before letting him dive off, I set a couple of ground rules. “No spinning… take a big leap from the wall..no monkeying around when u jump…focus on the jump…make sure that the water is deep enough…”

He is only 5 and can surely do with some tips from his mom on how to make a safe jump into the pool.

Seeing him display so much enthusiasm and the lack of fear to take the plunge off the edge, reminds me that sometimes it might be worthwhile to take risks in my life, and take a plunge into that very thing which will make me nervous. Who knows what pleasant surprises could be in store?

Instagram-tification

April 16, 2012 · By ·

I have been hooked on taking photos daily with Instagram ever since I got the 4s 2 weeks ago.

Did some blog visiting this evening and realised that there are fellow mommy bloggers who are also having tremendous fun snapping photos with the app, namely, PC, Evelyn and Janie.

I am quite thrilled by the resolution of the photos that are taken from the phone and I have so much fun with this app. If you are on Instagram and want to join in the fun of participating in the photo a day meme, just add the hash tags of #photoaday right behind your photo description.

I didn’t participate in this meme, as I take too many photos a day with Instagram :)

Instagram is a fabulous way to train your eye for photo-taking and improve photo composition. For more tips on taking better photos with Instagram, Evelyn has featured a really useful post on it.

So what are the kind of photos that I take? Here’s my Instagram photos for the past 2 weeks.

Insta2

 

Insta3

 

Insta9

 

Insta4

Insta6

 

Insta7

 

Insta8

It is usually the boy, his stuff, nature, food and occasionally things that I encounter daily which I think are visually interesting for me.

If you don’t post all your Instagram photos to Facebook, and wonder how you might be able to retrieve all your Instagram feed of photos, there is a site online that helps you to retrieve all the photos. Do check out Webstagram for all your photos.

Oh, and do add me as a friend on Instagram, my profile is @catchfortywinks. Would really love to see and LIKE or Comment on your photos too 😉

March Marvellous March

March 3, 2012 · By ·

The word 'Marvellous' actually can be spelled two ways. One with a single 'L' and another with a double 'L'. Yeah..I know, very random. But whoever said that blogging was brainless. I do sometimes do spell checks when the words start looking a bit queer to me on the screen.

Is this something new that you have learnt today? If yes, then this blog have fulfilled one of my objectives of making this blog informative. This blog can be personal, sharing dribs and drabs of my life, my son Kyle, my interests, my musings but moving forward, I will attempt to make it more informative. It's boring to just read my thoughts most of the time. So its better to share stuff that I have learnt along the way, that could be really random or might elicit this thought of "Oh, this is useful" or "I never knew that…". It is just one of my weak attempts of making this blog alot more useful, to contribute to a better internet surfing experience for anyone who might come along and read my posts.

To jumpstart this March, I have just posted an article on myplayschool.net on LEARN+PLAY-worthy activities that moms/dads can explore with their preschoolers/primary-schoolers during the March school holidays. There is at least 1 place a day that u can check out from 9th March to 18th March in Singapore, from FREE activities to economical activities under $15.00. Useful, if you have little idea of what to do this March holiday with your kids, and if you are like me, with shallow pockets. Sure, I would love to go to Universal Studios, watch children's plays, sign up for drama or art courses, but I am sadly limited by my budgets for the month. Anyhow, this post proves that you don't need lots of money for your kids to have fun.

This March school holidays, Kyle and I will be busy checking out some new places and I will follow with reviews and pictures of our March adventures. Going to make sure it is a fun one for him, since it could likely be the few times I will be able to spend a full week with him for the school holidays.

So here's to a Marvellous March ahead!
