Setelah aku coba - coba beberapa resep, ini dia tuna spaghetti yang aku sering bikin k arena bahannya sedikit dan simple menurut aku.

Holaa, i'd like to tell you my trip to.... "mall that i used to go" Hehehehe (penting banget ya lol) Jadi setelah i did my house wife chores, aku suka pergi ke Clementi Mall, kenapa?  karena kalo naik bis, kurang lebih perjalanannya hanya 15 menitan. Selain itu, sekitar sana ada masjid dan fasilitas umum yang aku suka. I used to go there buy Bus no. 183, disini aku suka sesukanya naik bis, selain dingin, nyaman,bersih, aman, kalo malam lampunya nyala jadi bisa sambil baca. (pokoknya seru deh naik bis di Singapore, i do like it). Sesampainya di mall Clementi, aku langsung pergi ke fasilitas umum yang aku suka, yaitu Library (nerd banget kan ya ke library hahaha), tapi beneran deh, ke library itu seru. Apalagi kalo lihat disana banyak orang yang serius baca tuh, rasanya aku terdorong buat baca juga. Aku juga salut sih sama pemerintah disini, membangun sdm berkualitas, salah satunya dengan menyediakan banyak public library (free masuk dan baca buat siapapun te...

ART AND CRAFT SHOPS 1. Artfriend      my favorite shop to buy paint! you can find a brand like winsor and newton. In there, you also can spot some materials for craft or sculpting. And.. i think there is not an art store as complete as Artfriend in Indonesia. The biggest Artfriend is in Blk 451 Clementi Ave 3, #03-307 (Clementi MRT, near Courts). However, if you go to Bugis, u can walk to Beras Basah complex (near National Library Singapore). https://artfriendonline.com/EN/OnlineUsers/Index Artfriend in Plaza Singapura (MRT Dhobighaut) 2. Spotlight     Crafts, hobbies, sewing,arts, fabrics, furniture are hereee!!! yap if you love sewing, knitting, it is the paradise for you albeit the price a bit pricey for me (no wonder in Singapore, all prices are higher than those in Indonesia). You can find it in Plaza Singapura (MRT Dhobighaut). SEWING SUPPLIES Beside Spotlight, there are a lot of places selling fabrics near Sultan Mosqu...

Hai para calon ibu atau mungkin yang sudah jadi ibu, mungkin banyak beberapa temen - temen yang sudah menyiapkan kamar khusus buat bayinya seperti walpaper yang lucu, tempat bermainnya, tempat tidurnya, tapi ada gak sih yang berfikir sampai bikin baby garden?  Jadi bikin kebun atau nature space   buat bayi itu banyak manfaatnya dari yang aku baca. Kebun khusus bayi ini bisa merangsang panca inderanya at a very early age . Rangsangannya mulai dari penglihatan (warna daun, bentuk tanaman, warna tanah), penciuman (aroma - aroma tanaman tertentu), sentuhan ( karena beberapa tanaman punya tekstur khas), dan juga rasa dari tanaman tersebut. Research also shown that babies find the natural world very calming, and the rich array of sensation may gently strengthen neuronal networks (the essential link of memory, reasoning, and emotional intelligence) within their developing brains. -John Farndon. Nah, karena ini untuk bayi, kebun khusus bayi ini tentunya harus aman buat sang b...

The answer is love! based on Super Bright Baby book by John Fardon. Yap at first i read the book it is quite unpractical and then i  and maybe you wonder on how love can soothe my future baby 's cry, don't you? The answer is If your baby cries, respond to her as quickly as you can. Work on building an emotional bond right from the start and keep going. Dont just feed and clothe your baby and put her to sleep, respond to her with as much as love you can, staying alert to any sign of a smile or an interest and giving it back generously, and of course cuddle, kiss, and tickle her as much as you think she wants -John Farndon How if i let my baby cry until she/he feel tired and stop to cry? If a baby is left to cry for a very long time, she may go quiet and and stop crying, but that's because she is simply shutting down to concentrate on survival. While crying, she will experience on increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration as stress hormones course...

Dear mom to be,our future baby will start learning from the moment his brain cells begin to develop in early pregnancy, so there is an environment to develop unborn baby's brain. Based on Tagyeo ( the belief from Korea that foetal environment affects a baby for her whole life), these are the details of environment should be:  the mom should avoid all emotional turmoil during pregnancy. in the fifth and sixth month, baby begins to hear so the whole family must create an environment of calm, love and happiness.

Although i am not an expert and have not pregnant yet, i gather information about nutrients that i should consume for having a bright baby and it starts since she/he is in the womb. Here the info that i took from some books in Singapore Library that might be beneficial for you too: Brain boosters There is some nutrients that play a key role for brain developments. One of them is Folic Acid . it helps developing the genetic materials for neural cells. We can obtain folic acid by eating green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli), bananas, asparagus, citrus, legumes (they should be cooked lightly or eaten in raw form).
