Image Source All children need a good night’s sleep. Being overly tired is detrimental to their growth, health, learning and relationships. How do you establish a healthy bedtime routine without it becoming a battleground? This is a problem that most parents are familiar with. Be Consistent Consistency is important. Build a routine for your children and stick to it. Make sure their kindergarten or school bags are packed early in the evening. Start their bedtime routine at the same time each day. As part of their development, toddlers will try to push the boundaries. However, it is important that you remain firm. Be calm and gentle but be strict about their bedtime.

This is because office tenants tend to stay in their premises longer than retail or industrial tenants. Yields on industrial property tend to be a little more volatile, thanks to the ups and downs in the sector. And retail tenants often don't stay for as long as you'd like.

FROM IPOH OUR JOURNEY TO JOHOR TOOK US NEARLY SIX HOURS TO REACH... We started off from Ipoh around 10am and stopped two times at the resthouse along the way.  It was a smooth journey all the way to our destination, reaching around 4 something in the afternoon. Along the way, I felt something was missing.... I didn't know what I had left behind till we nearly reached Johor... then only I realize I did not bring my Passport!!  Sigh.... No passport means no going to Singapore this time round.  No going to Singapore means no Shopping.... huhuhuuuu... No shopping in Singapore means I have to settle for something local here.... and Aaron obliged by taking us to Johor Premium Outlet... no choice so have to settle for the second best! At the main entrance and escalator leading up to the second floor...  It was quiet today.. maybe it is a weekday... Well, all the better... can walk freely and leisurely...  At the second floor... leading to the main outlets.... Okay,

Gardens can often be places with lots of activity. It can be where the kids run around, the dog plays fetch or birds flock to feeders. However, it's also one of the best places in a home to relax. You can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air, reading a book, having a chat, or pottering around. If your garden doesn't feel tranquil enough, it only takes a few changes to bring some peace into it. You can easily make a small area where you can sit and relax, or turn your whole garden into a calming space. Start your garden transformation with the ideas below.

If you do, you could get a taller one or extend it at the top. Plants also make excelle

THE NEXT MORNING WE WENT FOR ANOTHER BOUT OF DIM SUM.... The previous week we went to town for dim sum, it was not satisfactory at all.  This time we went to another dim sum restaurant in Greentown and this time round, the food served was up to our expectation.  Every dish came out hot and nice, even the mini egg tarts were fresh from the oven! Mini egg tarts are my kids' favourite! We ordered not one plate but two... for satisfaction.... Fried radish with fresh bean sprouts.... Prawn springrolls... My kind of desserts... Prawn dumplings... not to be missed... Siew Mai is also a Must...  And their Dan Dan noodles...  And a few more varieties that I have missed out in my handphone...  Now we are confirmed Big Eaters! The bill came to around RM72 and we did not pay for it... Coincidentally my cousins were sitting a few tables away... And they picked up the tab....  So nice of them... and we were blessed with a ...

Yes, we are the sleepyheads... my son just mentioned that our family are real sleepers... each morning getting up is a very tough task! Back to our breakie, my girl suggested Keng Nam in Cowan Street aka Jalan Raja Ekram, mother and son did not object a bit... we were very famished by the time we reached there... My girl's favourite food for breakfast....  Chee Cheong Fun with mushroom and sweet sauce...  Her odd combination...  And this is mine... a mixture of this and that...   Keng Nam's famous curry noodles...   A side order to be shared by three of us...   Three layered tea.... And another two slices of kaya butter toasted bread.... We are really BIG eaters!! After our breakie, we went home to catch our lost sleep....  .... hahahahaha  ....
