For once, I finished what I started. Sure feels good.

I’ve had Bollywood Veggies on my list of places to go for over a year, and Alf has been talking about visiting Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve together. By chance, I discovered the Kranji Countryside Association, which runs a bus service connecting these two places and more! (more…)

Yeap, we finally managed to sell the Goddess for S$1,500, and the donations have been made.
A big thank you to the buyer Patrick who made the process so quick and easy. Thanks also to all who helped to link us and spread the word. :)

My mum-in-law had never heard the word “chrysalis” until Layla told her about it. “Is this a new word?” she asked. “What about ‘pupa’ and ‘cocoon?’”
If anyone else is wondering — we know we were, when we first encountered the word in kiddy books and on Playhouse Disney — here’s a quick guide:
Pupa: An insect in the inactive stage between larva and adulthood.
Cocoon: This refers only to the covering that protects the pupa.
Chrysalis: This can be used to mean “pupa” or “cocoon.” Applies to all insects, but most commonly used on butterflies and moths.
Btw, there is no “cry” in “chrysalis.” (Check your pronunciation here.)

How do you maintain some semblance of privacy when your family life is on display on the web? Many moms are going private with their blogs, and I’ve written more about how we do it over at Mums-a-Musing.com.
For those who’ve visited the Butterfly Lodge and returned with Tawny Coster caterpillars, you’ve got to see these beautiful pictures taken by a local photographer.
Unfortunately, our caterpillars Pinky and Porridge weren’t so lucky, i.e. they didn’t get to flap their wings and fly. So today, we returned to the Lodge with little Ethan and mom, and came back with four more. Fingers crossed!

Some of us know what this feels like. Apparently MJ did too.
