Mama dan Si Manja 2012 Vol 1

I must say I'm very proud of this project, because it's the first time my work has been published in Malay! Plus, I didn't just work on an article, I worked on the entire book! Yep, you read right, I was responsible for compiling content for this 160-pager, which also involved adapting and translating content from English. I even came up with the title - Mama dan Si Manja! I'd like to thank the publisher, Ace Premier, for their trust in me, and my deepest gratitude goes out to Baby Talk editor Cindy, for suggesting me for the job. The guidebook retails for RM18 and is now available at newsstands and bookstores throughout Malaysia. You can check out the book's table of contents below:

Compost Diary Part 4

Hi everyone! After my successful first attempt at kitchen waste composting, I thought I'd share my second experience with you too, just to prove that it can be done very easily. Without further delay, here's two-weeks worth of kitchen & gardening waste that I've been fermenting with BioSense's effective microorganism-enriched biocatalyst :) 

This time, my fermented kitchen waste smelled quite a bit, maybe because I had chucked in a lot of onions. If you're doing your composting indoors like me, when the time comes to transfer your fermented waste into your burying bin, take it outdoors or a well-ventilated area. Your family & housemates will thank you for it!

Thanks Kleenex!

Guess what everyone! I won the Kleenex Wipes World Hygiene contest! Of course, I wouldn't have been able to do it without my precious pumpkin - Amir! Here he is posing with the Kleenex hamper & five RM10 AEON shopping vouchers we won :) Thanks so much Kleenex! It was great fun!

I'm going to buy Amir something nice with those vouchers. I can't resist that adorable smile :) You can check out my winning blog post here and learn more about Kleenex products here.

Outsmart Sneaky Germs with Kleenex Wipes!

Ever wondered why you, your friends and family members seem to be getting ill more often these days? Colds, coughs, sore throats, food poisoning... you can blame them all on - germs. Bacteria and viruses are all around us, and because they’re invisible to the human eye, sometimes we forget that they’re there. 

My son Amir likes to eat with his hands, so I like keeping a pack of Kleenex Wipes nearby. I also like to use the wipes to wipe down and clean the tables when we're eating out.

Compost Diary part 3

Okay, so about 3 weeks ago, I started using my BioSense Kitchen Waste Composter. At the end of week one, I buried my fermented compost indoors in a small plastic container for about 2 weeks. I've been too busy to check on its progress, but today I finally got the chance to see if it worked as it should. The verdict is (drum roll please)... IT WORKED!

See? All the gross-looking fermented waste has disintegrated into the soil! Voila! Best of all, throughout the 'burying' process, there was no smell whatsoever.

Sharing is Caring with Kleenex :)

If you cared about someone, how would you show it? Would you offer words of encouragement, or give them a token of your affection? Even the smallest of caring gestures can make a big difference in someone's lives. Unfortunately, in our increasingly fast-paced lives, we often neglect the little things that count. Thankfully, Kleenex has just launched the Share the Softness campaign, which makes sharing and caring a just little bit easier :)

 

We can all be part of this movement, because everyone needs some softness in their everyday lives :) Best of all, Kleenex offers us not one, but three ways to share and care:
