Trip to Kampung Sungai Melayu, Johor Bahru

On the 9th of September 2018, my family and I took part in an excursion to Kampung Sungai Melayu. There were around 16 families, total of 70 people in this excursion, and was organised by mummy Jac (Thank you Jac!)

Where to Dispose Used Batteries in Johor Bahru

Ever since we moved to Johor Bahru 3 years back, I had been searching high and low for a place which accepts used batteries for disposal. We had quite a lot of used batteries being kept and accumulated in the storeroom as I refused to just throw them out with the rubbish. I was hoping with the opening of IKEA Tebrau last year, I can then dispose the used batteries there, as the ones in Mutiara Damansara has dedicated disposal bins for batteries. Alas, the IKEA here does not have it as well. Desparate, I asked for help in a forum. Someone directed me to the Jabatan Alam Sekitar Negeri Johor located in Danga Utama.

DIY Toy Blocks

I read that toy blocks are one of the best toys for a child's intellectual development. While we have not gotten any toy blocks for DC yet, I plan to get one set for her later. Meanwhile, she still have her stacker rings and stacking cups which are her two favourite toys at the moment. She doesn't know how to stack them yet, but she loves to grab two of them and make noises as she clap her hands together. I have a lot of these Eu Yan Sang Essence of Chicken boxes at home (hubby consumes these on a daily basis - while stocks last). I thought it would make a good toy block for DC, I can also gauge if she has an interest in blocks at the moment or not :) What you need : Small cardboard boxes Colour paper Glue tape or glue Pen knife/scissors Bells (optional) 1. Measure how much colour paper is required to wrap each box. 2. Use penknife or scissors to cut the colour paper. 3. Wrap the box as how you would wrap a present. 4. Seal the corners wit...
