Rape is an extreme form of violence. Rape of a woman by her husband should be treated just like any other kind of rape. Support change in Singapore; abolish marital rape immunity. No rape. No exceptions. To end marital rape immunity in Singapore, we need your help. Begin by adding your name to our petition to the Prime Minister, urging for a complete repeal of the two instances of marital rape

Please always seek medical advice & get the right dosage for your child's age & weight. Do note that many of the medication for your child may be similar to yours but the per/ml or per/gm is different. This is just my personal sharing. After my son started play group he fell ill with the usual flu & cough regularly so I started keeping a supply of some of the regular medicine for such minor, no

Sand is a creative tool that's free & fun for hours of experimenting & learning. I teach Caleb to draw on the sand & he also learns about big, small, shapes by jumping on to what I have drawn. Sometimes he requests for a drawing, ie. guitar, train...and I'll try my best :) He always appreciates them :) Tip: Best time to go is the day after rain as the sand is cleansed & has some moisture so

Not all water bottles are created equal! After 6 purchases- I finally found my dream bottle! I'll spare you the long story of how I learned to find a good water bottle.A good water bottle:1. does not leak (rubber ring is secure-do remove it to wash & dry)2. has minimum parts (at most 2 parts to dismantle for washing)3. is easy to take apart to wash & maintain (no tricky parts to open & close)4.

Do invest in the best camera you can afford with the following functions : 1. anti hand shake (cos your kid will be active & not sit still for most shots)2. shock proof (mine can survive a 1.5m drop)3. waterproof (mine is for up to 3 meters-great for outdoor water activities like swimming pool, beach, rainy days). Of course, buy an additional battery to carry with you..trust me, you will need it

Kids love to help you create something with them (it's like magic to them) and then use it as a functional thing (cool).For the longest time...I always wished on Christmas eve, that I would wake up & magically be able to play the piano or guitar.
