Review: Incanto at RWS

Witness the boundaries between reality and make-believe blur at Incanto™, the magical spectacular at Resorts World® Sentosa. This stunning multi-million dollar show billed as one of Singapore's largest productions is headlined by renowned illusionist Joe Labero, a three-time recipient of the Merlin Award whose shows have reached worldwide audiences of more than 100 million. Be spellbound by the show's death-defying illusions and astonishing acrobatic sequences, delivered by a team of award-winning producers and an international cast of 50 performers from around the globe.

A curious young Seeker enters a strange monastery, the gateway to a hidden dimension of mystery and illusion. Guided by the whimsical Jester, the Seeker's innocence attracts the fearful Dungeon Master, mortal enemy of the Sorcerer – played by Joe Labero, wizard of the mystical arts. Follow her thrilling adventures until the final showdown between Good and Evil.

Among the mind-blowing illusions performed by Labero are bold spectacles that have never been seen in Singapore such as the Double Levitation, where both Seeker and Sorcerer soar more than 10 metres simultaneously above the stage, and the Blade Runner, a terrifying sequence where a massive blade descends and slices the vanquished Dungeon Master in half.

Supporting Labero is a jaw-dropping line-up of acrobatic feats like the Wheel of Death, which has taken Las Vegas by storm. The biggest of its kind ever seen in Asia, this incredible feat is performed by the Shenyang Acrobatic Troupe, winner of multiple awards globally including gold prizes at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de L'Avenir and Gold & Silver Clown awards at the Monte Carlo International Circus Festival.

Seeing is believing in this epic entertainment experience where magic meets fantasy in a high-energy combination of extraordinary illusion and acrobatics, soaring vocals, dynamic dance and lavish costumes and sets that make Incanto a thrilling and unforgettable experience for the entire family.


That was the kind of show that I was hoping to watch when I went to catch it last night. However, the actual show disappointed me. There was quite poor attendance despite it being a weekend night and I understood why after watching it. It wasn't spectacular considering the price tag attached to it. Luckily I had only paid $20 for it as I feel that it is totally not worth the initial $88 price tag.

The dances were very out of place with the plot, and I couldn't really place it together with the plot. They seemed to be dancing because the choreographer have to put them in into the program. The acrobatic feats  were not bad, and can see that those are not easy moves, and they did wow the audience.

 However, the set was cool, and the effects were really awesome. The costume designs were excellent too. I love the opening where the man in cloaks walked in with the lights, giving it a very eerie feeling.

The magical illusions were few and far in between, and I would have wanted more of those since I am essentially paying for a magic show, right? 

All in all, I would not recommend friends to go, because it is really nothing spectacular about it.

[Review] Lovejoy confinement centre in JB

I did an unthinkable thing, which is to head over to JB for confinement. When I first suggested that, everyone around me warned me against it. They cited the lack of healthcare should I or Hunter is unwell and the inconvenience caused by the distance. I wasn't deterred and pushed forward with it and I didn't have any regrets. I enjoyed my time there tremendously and would go back there again if not for my insistence that I would not have a second kid. All that being said, there are definitely some cons but they are minor issues in my opinion. An unassuming front  Pros: Amazing food As everyone knows, food in JB tastes better and the confinement centre is no exception. 5 meals are provided a day with unlimited milo and biscuits should you be hungry. (Trust me, breastfeeding is hungry business). The timings are 9am (breakfast), 12pm (lunch), 3pm (teabreak), 6pm (dinner) and 9pm(supper). As you can see, I was really well taken care of in the food department when I was there. Huge

Phonics Class at Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA)

Today, I am going to share my review of the phonics enrichment school that I have been sending Hunter to since start of July 2023. To give you the background, Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA) base its phonics classes on Jolly Phonics, and is located in Bugis.  I first got to know about CTA when they launched their phonics workshop. Being the ambitious mum, I thought that I could save some money and teach Hunter phonics by myself. After going through the workshop, I realised the amount of work I have to put in to curate the materials, and I decided that it is best left to the experts and I would just revise the contents with him at home during the week. Below are the information from CTA. They run the classes by terms and classes are tagged by levels.        Price List for 2023                         Hunter is currently in Intermediate phonics and will be advancing up next year.  I love the approach of Jolly phonics as they use songs and actions to capture the attention of kids. As this

Our 2D2N trip at JB (Paradigm Mall JB)

At the last recent school closure, we brought Hunter to JB for a long weekend together with my parents. We took the KTMB train again and it was convenient and fuss free as the previous time . This would probably be the last time where Hunter gets to take the train for free. The rationale to choose Paradigm Mall was simple - a one stop centre for everyone. Since we didn't have our own transport, we chose an accommodation which is very near to the mall (2-5 mins walk) depending on which block you stay. The condo is called Platino and it's pretty new. Playground in the condo swimming pool This is how near the mall is. As usual, Hunter's priorities came first, which ended with us going to Utopia for both days of the trip. We signed up for the 3 entries package, which cost RM188. It comprises a free bumper ride and a welcome gift. One adult can also accompany him each time without additional fee. Socks are additional (RM 5 for a pair) because we didn't expect to go in so ear

[Review] 3D2N trip to Sinar Eco Resort, JB, Malaysia with a 2 year old toddler

The long weekend trip to Sinar Eco Resort was our first family trip post-covid. It also served as a birthday trip for PL. As H's school was closed on 2 and 5 Sep 2022, we had to make plans to ensure our sanity. Initially, I wanted to go somewhere further but common sense and logic won out. After much deliberation and consideration, we narrowed the locations to JB and had 2 choices in mind. One is Sinar Eco Resort and the other one is Rainforest Tree House. In the end, we decided on Sinar Eco Resort because of the following points: All-inclusive stay (RM280 per night/pax) H doesn't need to pay since he is below 3 years old. Location (Near to SG. If H falls sick, we could rush back.) Kid's safety (Since it's an enclosed farm, we could be sure that he wouldn't be kidnapped or something along the line. Sorry, I'm just too paranoid) Activities (H loves animals and animal feeding is included in the package) One thing I must say about PL; he is really a do-er. After we

Review: Sunflower preschool at Clementi (Sep 2021)

I had withdrawn H from Sunflower at Clementi in Sep 2021. Contrary to the positive experience that I had when he was in IFC, the horror started when he was doing the transition to PG (aka moving upstairs to the toddler class). The negative experience was probably due to the resignation of both his teachers who had been with him throughout his IFC days, and it prompted him to display anxiety while in school. The teachers informed that he was crying at the doorsteps every day when the IFC teachers brought him to transit to the PG class. Regrettably, he started to bite his classmates. We were told of this when he first bit the little child and were encouraged to talk to him and explain that biting is bad. The days went by and once in a while, we would hear of the biting issues. However, the issues were only flagged out when my mum went to fetch him and there were communication issues as my mum couldn't understand much English. It didn't help that I had fractured my foot during tha
