Jade Mooncake

How would you like a healthier choice of moon cake without feeling the guilt from the high cholesterol salty egg yolk?

Like to share this very refreshing VegeColor Mooncake that I made and received a lot of good reviews from my family, friends and colleagues!!

A few of my colleagues even avoided the "egg yolk" as they don't want to put on extra calories and cholesterol levels :p but they feel more assured after explaining to them what the "egg yolk" is made of.

My cousin inspired me to gave this a very classy name Jade Mooncake as what the colour of the moon cake calls for :)

Made from all wholesome fruits and 28 types of Vegetables.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival everyone!

Contact me if you want to know more on how you can include VegeColor into your everyday meals for convenience. 

Thanks & Best Regards,

Teacher's Day in the making 2016..... (Bunny ORiGAMi, RIO Olympics Medal)

We borrowed a book about Origami Magic Show and this cute little bunny is very easy to make.
As usual, we will normally have a chat on what to draw. This year, she's so excited as she master a new skill to fold a Bunny hopping out of the hat!
Hence, Sher decided she wanted to have this Bunny appearing in all the cards that she draws.
Here's a short video on how she fold the bunny ORiGAMi....
And her Aromantic Cookie making here.


See how she drew the shadows casting from the bird, tree and cloud?
A Rio Olympics inspired Gold Medal for the best Teachers in the Whole Wide World!!

Aromantic Cookies for Teachers' Day

Happy Teachers' Day to all the beloved teachers!

Every year Sher will prepare her hand drawn or paint a card to show her appreciation and thank her teachers from her Pre-Nursery class at age 3 to 5.
I believe this is the most sincere way of showing our appreciation as its coming out from her own thoughts and also very cost economical.

This year is exceptionally special as its her last year with her Kindergarten and we are really grateful for her teachers for nurturing her and allow Sher to realize her fullest potential, we decided to do something different.

Recently we were trying out a new recipe in baking which could gives a nice melt-in-the-mouth cookies and what's more, we even added Aromantic into the cookie to make it more flavorful with a coffee taste without caffine and not forgetting they are also rich in amino and calcium.

How is it possible to enjoy Coffee without Caffine?


We all know calcium is an important for overall health. Calcium plays an important role in muscle contractions, transmitting messages through the nerves and release of hormones.
If we don't get enough calcium in our diet, the body will takes the calcium from our bones and this will leads to weakening of the bones or even osteoporosis.

Aromantic is made from a variety of premium herbs. It contains Pearl, Bee Pollen, Barley and Pumpkin Flower. It is rich in amino acids, phytochemicals and calcium that are easily absorbed by the body. This delightful beverage with an aroma of coffee smell ! (which comes from the roasting of the barley) is a convenient source of nutrition for those who do not get enough amino acids and calcium in their diets.




Pearl
Pearl is rich in calcium and may help to improve skin condition and the digestive system.







Bee Pollen
Bee Pollen is rich in amino acids, which provide nutrition needed by growing children and for immunity against bacteria and viruses. Aromantic uses bee pollen from a single type of flower, lowering the risk of allergy. The bee pollen in Aromantic is concentrated and professionally processed to remove its indigestible shell.




Barley
Barley is high in amino acids, vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and beta-glucan. Beta-glucan promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon and helps prevent absorption of fats and cholesterol in the intestine. Barley can be roasted to obtain more nutrients.





Pumpkin Flower

Pumpkin Flower is rich in carotene. It may be effective against conditions such as insomnia, high blood pressure and stroke. It can also improve heart function.




What other ways can you do with Aromantic?

Aromantic can be enjoy as a beverage by itself, added in to bake coffee pancake, cookies etc.
Stay tuned for Aromantic Cookies!! (& how Sher makes them for her Teacher's Day gifts Aromantic Cookie Making)

SEVEN LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE....


SEVEN LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE....



1. *Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.*
They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.

MEANING; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company.

 

2. *Eagles have an Accurate Vision.*
They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
MEANING; Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed.

 

3. *Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey.*
MEANING; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.

 

4. *Eagles Love the Storm.*

When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of4 the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree.

MEANING; Face your challenges head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and use them profitably.



5. *When a Female Eagle Meets a Male Eagle*
and they want to mate, she flies down to earth, picks a twig and flies back into the air with the male eagle in hot pursuit. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she drops the twig and let it fall to the ground while she watches. The male eagle chases after the twig and catches it before it reached the ground, then bring it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a much higher altitude and drop the twig again for the male eagle to chase. This goes on for hours with the height increasing each time until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of picking the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then will she allow him to mate with her.

MEANING; Whether in private life or business, one should test the commitment of the people intended for partnership.



6. *Eagles Prepare for Training;*
They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest.

MEANING; *Leave your Comfort Zone, there is No Growth There.*



7. *When the Eagle Grows Old,*
His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than before.

MEANING; We occasionally need to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no value to our lives should be let go of.


*YES, NEVER GIVE UP,*

*BE AN EAGLE, NEVER EVER GIVE UP !!!*


They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles.

Behavior Charts

Something I would like to share what I have been doing with Sher to get her ready for P1 since the start of 2016, well I know its a bit too early and Kiasu right?

Very blessed is since K1, Sher's teachers have been setting them the mood to P1 and especially this year in K2, it was even more which gives them what they would be doing when they goes to P1.

Thus, Sher was even more excited as she is visualizing herself to buy food from the canteen during recess time and how her classroom will looked like etc.

So exciting isn't it? I bet you would be as much as you see her narrating.

Here am I, I'm also trying to get her in the routine of preparing Sher to be more independent and we are trying out this behavior chart which I chanced upon from the website that I would like to share.

I choose this template so I can customize the activities that I would like Sher to be doing.

After we discussed, this is the list of activities that we will be focusing for 2016 and only for Monday to Friday. At the end of the week, she will draw the treat / reward she wants and work towards it.

We paste this chart on the fridge and Sher will get to put a tick for every activity she has completed and there is no time limit so as not to put stress on her but more of cultivating the discipline to set the routine.

Feel free to explore the link which I share below and hope you can find some joy in creating a behavior chart for the daily routine :)

Mid year & 3rd quarter progress check, we still have room for improvement and she's definitely getting the hang of the routine with an occasional nudge to get things going......



Saw the "good" Friday on the row? haha yes, this is her April chart.
Can you guess what's her reward that she drew on the chart?
