Are you a caffeine junkie?


I survive my uni days with 3 cups of coffee daily. In fact, I could live with just snacks and a cup of coffee for each meal. It's easy and quick.

Since I got pregnant, nobody actually said anything about me and my coffee until the other day in class when I brought in Nescafe can into the class. "Won't that affect your baby?"

Although I knew and very certain of the answer (because I did thorough research on it before indulging), the question somehow just makes me feel quesy.


Anyhow, here are some facts you can share to back yourself up:

Maximum intake of caffeine/day>300mg of caffeine

That is about 3 mugs of instant coffee, 3 cups of brewed coffee, 6 cups of tea, 8 cans of regular cola, or 8 standard bars of chocolate.


So what are the dangers if you exceed?

Your baby may have low birth weight, or even cause a miscarriage if you are in the earlier months.

Caffeine also affects the way the body absorbs iron, which is very important for baby's development


Not advocating but just saying that coffee junkies like me don't have to worry about having to go cold turkey for 9 months... :)

Trip to Tiara Beach Resort



Its so great to be back to Singapore, after a long drive through NS highway. Believe it or not but we only decided to go to PD just 3 days before the trip. We tried to book a hotel via internet but they didn't entertain last min bookings. But we went ahead to take the dive and pray there luck was on our side. Indeed we were right. In fact, the hotel that claimed to be fully book had quite a bit of rooms vacant. I bet there were just lazy to deal with internet bookings.
First thing that caught Izzul's attention was the huge pool located in the midst of the hotel apartments. Our room was one of those facing the water park.. How cool was it for a walk-in hotel registration. Izzul was totally excited and blurting a whole string of gibberish. We knew that we can't wait for the next day to bring him down for a swim. You would think all of us will be beat from the journey. In fact, we were but seeing Izzul who kept pointing down to the pool from our hotel room, we didn't have the heart to make him wait any longer.
Anyway, Tiara Beach Resort is a great place to relax with the family. There's the big pool with big slides, fountains, kid's playroom, fish spa and lots of other things. It's a great place for a quick break for one or 2 days.
Food wise, there's quite a handful choice ranging from malay cuisine, bistro cafe, thai food and bakery. So you don't have to worry getting your tummy filled but I guess the things there may not be as cheap. I guess you can expect that since it's a tourist attraction. Oh talking about tourist attraction, we didn't see much of international tourist. I think it attracts more of the locals mostly from Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru. And of course quite a handful from it's neighbouring country, Singapore.
Location wise, it's about one hour drive from the Port Dickson's exit along the highway. So give it a go if you are in just for a relaxing time and no shopping :)that.

Why baby kaed?



There are probably lots of branded for diaper bags in the market nowadays. Different designs and colours. But why IBG decided to market Baby Kaed Diaper Bags? For a simple reason of practicality, variety and design concept.
Personally, even as a guy, I found the design striking. Again this could be very subjective. However, it then boils down to pratical use of it. The different variety available actually allows you to choose one that fits your personality and ease of use. For my wife, she has 2 of the collection. Jaipur and Dhara. For Jaipur, since of it's exclusive look and good quality leather, she uses them on special occasions and dinner events. For Dhara, it is for a normal family outing. Dhara is also our choice when we are going overseas because of the generous interior compartments and space.
US celebrities such as Jeniffer lopez, Matt Damon and P DIddy have used it. Most of them have gotten the higher range of leather collections. Talking about variety, Baby kaed also offers faux leather and nylon material to suit daily uses.
A funny incident happen about a month ago at a Christmas Bazaar where we were promoting the bags. A lady in her mid 50s came up to us and showed much interest in our Sheri collection. She was happy to be posing with it and showed keen in buying it. However it strike her funny to find a lot of accessories that came with the bag. Imagine her embarassment when we told her that it was a diaper bag. But seriously, she shouldn't be embarassed because Baby Kaed achieved its aim of making the bag usable even if you are no longer a mummy to a baby or a toddler. In fact, the accesories can also be used to store your cosmetics like what my wife did.
I guess it is only best for you to view the bags yourself. Do let us know if you would like to personally view the bags. We will extend our service to you.
Note: We are the distributor for south east asia region. Bags also in Philipines and Japan.

Opening of baby-pedia



Baby-pedia will covers all aspect of baby related issues. From baby care, baby product, baby gift, baby education and mother care. It will be a platform to share information on how to become an effective parent to your child. Please dropped me your honest comment . We will try to share informations that will benefit new and even super experience parent.




About myself, I am a father of a 1 year old Izzul. That's the one - my super active son. I guess most of you share the same sentiments especially if you have a boy. Like most kids, he has such short attention span and highly curious about a lot of things. He's physical too, meaning to say that if he's curious, he will touch, bend, throw, bite and other possible actions that can be done with his 2 bare hands... But I guess, that's what makes him so adorable and special to us. Another one is still on its way :)
