Leftose: A Need at Home May 27 2020, 0 Comments


I was 1st introduced to Leftose when the GP prescribe it as a remedy for my kid’s sore throat. After recovery, I made sure I have a bottle stocked up in case of emergencies. Thankfully my kids are OK with the taste. It’s not so overpowering like some other medicines.

Leftose is a 2 in 1 natural, non-drowsy remedy 👍 It helps to dissolve phlegm and relieve sore throat.

 

Did you know?

Leftose is made from a natural enzyme, called Lysozyme. It is found in egg white and the human body - tears, saliva and breastmilk. Hence it may not be suitable for those with egg allergies :) 

10,000 eggs are being used to extract 1 kg of Lysozyme! Wow! 

 

Leftose is not just for children. They have it in adult version too. It comes in lozenges format or syrup, base on your personal preference :) I personally prefer the lozenges form as it is like a “sweet” in Honey Lemon flavoured.

I was feeling a little sore at my throat & popped 1 lozenges in, bye bye sore throat! :)


Leftose is sold at all leading pharmacies :) 

Can’t live without this handy medicine. 

Oh, if your children can suck a lozenge without choking, they can take it too! 


Our stay at Leofoo Resort Guanshi in Taiwan December 19 2019, 0 Comments

We heard so much wonderful sharings from friends & family and decided to book a stay during our recent Taiwan vacation. 

Checked-in time was at 15:00 hrs but thankful our room was ready at about 14:00hrs when we arrived. We had a 2D1N stay from 3 Dec - 4 Dec. At the counter, the lady asked if we brought our own toothbrush & slippers. I was puzzled, and she explained that this is a eco-friendly resort hence if you do not need the items, they will reward you with NT$50 voucher per pax. This voucher can be use for paid activities in the resort. I am happy with the initiative & got my vouchers for 5 pax, thats extra NT250 to spend :) 

The rooms are house on 2 sides - Zebra cottage & Giraffe cottage. I choose the Giraffe cottage as I wanted to see the animals outside my balcony. The Zebra side couldn’t really see the animals. Good choice!⁣

balcony view from our room

Great experience waking up to animals outside our resort room!! 


We had a double storey room to fit 5 of us. 2 individual toilets & 2 showers made it so convenient.

Phew, the room has no smell but I could hear the flamingos chatting at night! So funny 😆 ⁣

_

shower & toilet are detached to make it convenient 

-

Father in law joined us, so he took the bed below while our family took the 2 beds upstairs.

-



The whole resort is decorated with animals, safari themed. 

-

Other than the animals as the main highlight, the resort also has other DIY craft activities in-house for children to enjoy. It is house in another building which is 5 mins walk away. Open from 9am - 9pm, you can walk in anytime to reserve your spot. 

Sophie painted a Maraca, which is a hand instrument. It cost NT399/person but we offset with our NT250 vouchers we receive earlier. 



There were only a few choices for food in the resort, hence we settled for the international buffet.
Price wise cost us SG$50 a pax for adult, SG$30 for child. (quite steep I feel)



We watched an African night performance after our dinner at the resort.
It was entertaining :)
_

Oh, they love the staircase, because its like a 2 story house.

 The room came with a pack of cute cookies which was my night snack.

Shopping Time!

(did not buy anything)

 __

DAY 2 (AM): 

I woke up early to "say hello" to the animals outside our hotel. I was hoping to see the giraffe pop its head near our balcony as shown on the website but nope, it did not happen. I was disappointed that I could not spot any giraffe and even called the front desk to ask where is the giraffe! hahhaa. Due to the cold weather, the giraffe was hiding inside & will be release at a later time.

_

Buffet Breakfast to fuel our tummies 1st. 

After breakfast, we made our way to the Scenic Lookout  to listen to 'Introduction to Animals in the Resort' sharing

In-house staff explaining to us the characteristics of the animals.

_
The other highlight of the resort stay were the close animal experience activities.

Some were paid, some were free. I had my chance to hold a parrot! (It’s free)

Sophie is brave enough to stand beside it for photo only.

You are allowed to feed the parrots too

Other paid activities include Meet & Greet with Lemur/Alpaca/Meerkat.
I want to try but the kids were scared!
-
A glimpse of the activity schedule for you :)
_

Glad we discovered the other side of the resort where other animals were housed. Say hello to Giraffe, Zebra, Goat, Lemur, etc. The siblings were so excited for these encounters 😉 No crowd so we happily enjoyed the animals all to ourselves. 😍⁣

Hello Pony!

 Hello Giraffe!

I really love this shot, 1st time going SO close to a giraffe

 

Hello Alpaca!

Hello Zebra!



The kids with their sad face as they bid farewell to the resort.

 

We hope to be back someday!!
Maybe during summer for the new water park experience :)

Our Visit to Legoland SEA Life September 01 2019, 1 Comment

LEGOLAND SEA LIFE

Legoland Malaysia opened their Sea Life Aquarium earlier this year :) We were excited with this new addition to the Lego Family in Malaysia and cant wait to check it out. 11 theme zones!

A glimpse at what you can expect below (taken from their pamphlet)

SEA LIFE Malaysia aims to engage and inspire kids to learn, love and care for the ocean through compelling storytelling and up-close interactive education journey. Discover LEGO® Mini-Figures and other LEGO® sea creatures when you embark on your educational journey inside :)

We spent close to 2 hrs there. Compared to Singapore’s Sea Aquarium, this is much smaller but we love the pop up Lego characters which gave the aquarium the Lego feel :) Also, there aren't many big fishes inside. You can try spotting the famous Black Tip Reef Shark and others. 

BUT there are still things to excite the kids! The little interactive displays, story telling and interactive drawing. Kids can colour their own fish and watch it come to 'live' after colouring and sending it off to sea.

1st Lego figure when we enter, hello!

 13,000 fishes & 120 types of species

Explore the astonishing 11 habitat zones

180° ocean tunnel

 

How pretty are the Glowing Jellies

Feel the textures of our coastal friends in Rookpools (that's a starfish!)

 

We sat through the Educational storytelling session.

The little activities as you walk through.....

 

Each made their own creature come 'alive'

Can you see my crab?

Can you see my starfish?

Nails Experience at D’Chloe Beauty Studio August 05 2019, 0 Comments

It’s been awhile since I pamper my nails. Self care is so important. When you look good, you feel good too. Having nicely manicured nails sure liven up my mood :) 

I tried the 3D Gel nail manicure service at D'Chloe Beauty Studio today. When I walked in, the lady boss, Chloe made me feel very welcome. The whole place is so bright and exudes a happy & relaxing feeling. 😁

Individual Tables for Manicure

The staff started off by doing the usual manicure (filing, cutting cuticles, shaping, cleaning) followed by applying the gel polish. You can choose from the available designs or show them a photo to replicate. Gel Manicure is very popular now as it can last up to 1 month! No need to worry about your pretty nails from color fading and peeling off while washing dishes and doing house chores.

Curing under the LED light is needed for Gel manicure 

This helps to strengthen the manicure quality and makes the crystals/colour stay on well.

Nicely cured & manicured nails :)

I was spoilt for choice and didnt know which colour to choose, the nail technician suggested something simple and easy to match. 

Now for the next step - adding details.

The nail technician is very gentle and polite. She kept checking on me to see if I am comfortable throughout the process. Although my nail bed is rather small, she managed to apply the tiny details on my nail. Kudos to her skills!

 

 

           Ta-dah! The end result is a perfectly drawn and nice manicured nails :)

So sweet! Love how the colour and tiny flower details blend together, creating a feminine style that's suitable for most ladies. This looks like an event ready nail!

_

Total time spent: 2.5 hrs. Do allocate more time (at least 3 hrs) if you intend to chose a 3D design. More steps = more man hours. 

My Verdict?

YES to this set of pretty nails :) Easy to match all outfits, suits my personality and its located in the central region. Walking distance from Orchard MRT, I will re-visit again :)
D'Chloe Beauty Studio have other services which includes:
Manicure
Pedicure
Waxing
Facial
Eyelash Extensions
Eyebrow Embroidery

Review: OJOY A1 Smart Watch is a Joy to have! July 22 2019, 1 Comment

OJOY Smart Watch is a Joy to have!

Oh what a Joy it is to own a OJOY Smartwatch :) Technology is so advance now that the watch are getting smarter. 

2 months ago, Sophie received a OJoy watch from the watch company - OJoy. She had wanted a smart watch before but we didnt allow it for fear of playing/ losing it. She also holds a mobile phone so why need a smart watch? It serves the same purpose - to be able to call. My thoughts after using it for 2 weeks have changed. It is actually a very useful watch!

Prior to owning it, Sophie has an old iPhone for communication purpose. At times, I need to fetch her home from school or enrichment classes. BUT, loosing your iPhone can be a little scary too! Sophie gave us a scare when she left her little bag (inside contains the iPhone) at the Indoor Stadium once! Fortunately, her phone was found the next day when I went back to the stadium to do a search. 

 

What I love about the watch:

- 4G! 
- Clear Voice Calling
- GPS Tracking
- WATERPROOF
- Easy to wear
- Soft Rubber Strap
- Voice Messaging 
- Phototaking
- School Mode
- Camera
- Add task reminder for your child
Best of all > The watch wont be lost unless your child removes it from their hand! The child gets instant notification when you call, compared to digging for their mobile phone in the bag/pocket.
I charge once every 2 days, as long as there is half a bar left, you don't have to charge daily. 
I was contemplating between Oaxis and OJoy, after all, Oaxis was 1st to enter the SG market.

So what's the difference between Oaxis and OJoy?

 Oasis is not waterproof. OJoy is. Oasis is 3G but Ojoy is 4G. 
What I dislike about the Watch: 
The battery drains quite fast even if you don’t wear it. 

 Watch Specs

Did you know? that this watch can only receive calls from registered numbers in the phone book? This is a safety function so strangers won’t be able to anyhow call the number if they happen to find your child’s number. I feel safe.

Simply download the Ojoy app (available in Apple & Play store) to track your child. In the app, you can enter all the registered mobile numbers for your child to call you and vice versa. You can also send messengers through the app, everything is done there. 

Here's how the tracking screen looks like on the app:

SMS Message Screen:

(see, Sophie can only reply via voice message or the pre-installed text message to prevent strangers from using her smart watch to send a text.)

Available in 2 colours :)

Purple & Blue.

 

Recommended Age?

Primary 1 onwards.

Where to Buy?

Add ons:
Screen Protector at $9.90.
Extra Charging Cable at $10.90

What’s inside the box?

1 charging cable, 1 watch, manual

A Unicorn theme Science Party for my 9 year old. March 25 2019, 0 Comments

12.12.2018 - the day my firstborn, Sophie turns 9 :) 

What a bittersweet feeling which means I have been a mother for 9 years! *Hooray* to myself! I survived Motherhood.

Certainly their preference for parties and celebration changes as the years go by. But with new classmates and friends, I couldn't say "No". In my heart, I wanted a party for her too :) 

So what theme? UNICORN craze is in! Ok, she likes Unicorn now. That's it, theme settled and onwards with the party planning.

For 9 year old kids, I consider them the not too young and not too old kids. Choosing a party activity is quite difficult as I do not wish to repeat what I have done for her and also want it to be different from her school friends. I mean its nothing new if the classmates were to experience the activity before, right? I had magician and indoor playground previously for her. 

I was doing research online for party activities. Many came up but only ONE caught my eye - A Science Experiment Party!

Hey, these 9 year olds have started learning Science this year, so apt to bring learning outside the classroom and in a party setting!

I went ahead to engage Newton Show for the party because they have many interesting hands-on experiments. I prefer kids to be more active rather than just sit and watch.

Instead of an e-card which I usually send out, we went ahead with Revelgram's cards. Sophie self written the personalised cards for her classmates. See that grin? :) The cards were given out 3 weeks prior to the party.

Revelgrams is a new online store specialising in journals, cards & stationary.

All designs are hand drawn before printing. 

 

It’s a blast! 1 hr of FUN to keep the girls (& adults) entertained. I chose their Dry Ice Show and 13 experiments was performed during the bday party :) Some of it includes Fire on the rainbow, Storm in the flask, Dry Ice Creation. @newtonshow_com did a great show in making everyone glued to the performance. ⁣


Kids do not just watch the spectacular experiments and amazing miracles, but they also get to take part in the shows themselves. Each kiddo brought home their own fave colour snow! ⁣

[Sophie & Ian's Snow]

They do many other theme parties eg, Superhero, Fairy, Harry Potter etc. 
⁣For more info on Newton Show's packages, click here.

 {Girl Power unite!}

 

Table Cover, Cake Plates, Cake Stand are all from Taobao. 

 

Unicorn cakes seem to be the IN thing right now. Soft, fluffy and tasty 😋 Sophie chose Vanilla flavour for her cake and it came in 3 layers! There were no leftovers so you can imagine the mouthwatering taste.
🍰
I went ahead with @thecakelore.

 Our delectable Nutella Blossoms (steam cakes) were from @bake.shoot.eat

Love her drawings!!

I bought most of the goodie bag supplies from Taobao.com. You can do a search input 'Unicorn birthday' and a list of sellers will pop up. If you want my links, do drop me a note at my Instagram @aliciacho and I will share. 

I included Notepad, Pen & Hair tie inside the goodie bag, something useful. Most parents do not like to receive candies as part of the goodie bag anymore. 

[PROMOTION]
🗣👉🏻 For those who are considering something different for their parties, @newtonshow_com is offering 5% OFF any of the party packages. Just mention my name ‘aliciacho’ during booking :) 

 

Happy Party Planning!!

 

 


International Woman’s Day: What Makes Us Women March 07 2019, 0 Comments

 photo by: Cloud Productions From Left to Right: Isabelle, Shub, CK, Irene, Renuka, Alicia.

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women since 1911. This year, I’ve teamed up with these amazing women bloggers from different backgrounds and roles to talk about what defines us as women.

 

What Woman’s Role are you taking charge now?

Me? I am a mother of 2 – a girl in Primary 4 and a boy in Primary 2. Currently a full time mummy and a freelance talent. I also run an online costume rental business. Left my full time job in 2016 to spend more time with my kids. After all, our kids are only young once. As the saying goes…when you have kids, the days seem long but the years are short! I didn’t regret my choice and am happy with my life now. Flexible just the way I like it. Social Media has played a big part in making me sane despite mummy duties :) I also recharge by going to massages and facials.

Sophie's 5th Birthday Party February 07 2015, 0 Comments

Finally the big day for my girl, Sophie's birthday is here. We celebrated it on 6 Dec 2014 with her favourite theme - Frozen!! It is the most popular theme right now and she has been asking me since March'14 when is her birthday and why is her birthday so long? Sorry my little girl.....you are born on 12 Dec. Whenever she see mummy's customer came over to rent the Elsa costume for their girl's party, she will ask me the same question over and over again - "Why is my birthday so long?" She is so cute, but I can only tell her I'm sorry you are born in Dec, you cant choose when you want to be born. I asked her to be patient and finally its Dec! In Nov, when mummy started planning the party and asked her where does she want the party to be held. She said her favorite playground - Cool de Sac. Its located at Suntec City with a big play area for craft activities and play. They have 3 party rooms and we took the 2nd biggest room. Max capacity is 30 kids and we had 20 kids on that day. I find the room a little cramp as not all the adults are able to fit inside the room and watch the kids play games. Adults would have to sit on the floor if they would like to watch them play. Else, they would sit outside at the private area cordoned off for them to eat and chat. Most of her friends invited were from her childcare so Sophie was very excited when they arrived at the party.

Here are some pictures of the party for your viewing pleasure :) 

 

Our Elsa Cake is from Cupcakelicious, the cake is not too sweet, just nice for children and adults.

Everyone LOVES it! Contact Mabel at 9746 8825 to order. 

Our cupcake is from Eme's Pantry

 

I requested for Vanilla cupcakes & blue butter cream. The taste is just right and it was wipe out within 1 hr.

Contact Eme at 9621 0956 to order. She does halal cakes and cookies :)


Straits Times Feature on 1 March 2014 June 13 2014, 0 Comments

So happy to be featured on Straits Times, Saturday Times. There's a short write-up on my little business. Many of my friends and colleagues started messaging me on watsapp/SMS to ask if that was me and also to congratulate me. :) Very touched! My mum also had friends calling her to check if it was her daughter on newspaper. Yes, it is.....

I thank God for this feature as it brings me more biz. People search for my name and found me on Facebook and Google. Straits Times is very effective! Dispite not mentioning my online shop name, people are still quite hardworking to use Google. There's one customer who search me on google and called me on the very Saturday. . He needed a snow white costume for his daughter's birthday party and when I told him that Yes I have, he was so happy! I'm glad that I managed to solve his problem :)

Read my feature below :)

 

 

 

 

 


Welcome!! October 29 2013, 0 Comments

Hello! Welcome to my 1st blog post! I'm very happy that I have finally got my hands on creating a website for my online shop rather than just a page in Facebook. I was thinking hard for the past few months if I should spend the $ on a website or not? After all, it is just a small business. But, I'm glad I did. I want everyone who is a parent to know about My Mini-Me. Please help me spread the word around, ok? Thanks in advance.

I love dressing my kids up hence decided to do something related to fashion and looking cute and pretty. Hence My Mini-Me is born. My Mini-Me specializes in Children's Costume rental and affordable children's products. I'm always looking for advertising opportunities so if you own a BlogShop as well and would want to partner with me, let me know.

'LIKE' us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/likeminime  

Drop me a note at ilikeminime@gmail.com if you have anything to say to me or simply just say "Hi"

Cheers

Alicia Cho
