BANANA MOM’S GUIDE TO PREPARING FOR CHINESE SCHOOL by Mimi Koay

Okay...Mamarazzi usually doesn't do this. Tend to feel if post book review here, readers  might not be interested.

However, she feels that this book is relevant to Mommies and Daddies out there if they are undecided on which primary school to send the kids to...National school? Chinese Primary School? Private School? International School? so here we go....

Many are tempted to send their kids to Chinese Primary school but what if both parents like Papa and Mamarazzi who are "Banana Chinese"? How to guide their kids in that language if ones doesn't speak nor write in that language?

Well, this book discussed all that and more. At the end of the book, the author had also put up links to various helpful sites so that parents do not have to waste time and do survey.

It guide you on how to choose a suitable school for your child. After reading this, Mamarazzi noted that not two school is alike. It will depend on the Headmaster.

Also there are insight on what is to expect during school orientation day, examination, tuition and it even addressed some misconceptions about Chinese school

She finds that this is book is a helpful guide and timely too. It's like a "one-stop center" instead of running here and there, getting totally contradictory advices. It's great that the author had took time and come up with this book to answer some of the questions that have been on most parents' mind.

Thank you, Mimi for sending Mamarazzi a copy of this book.

I wanted to eat chicken rice for dinner but Papa said all chicken oi oi at night. Nobody sells chicken rice.

 Then mamarazzi thought of Ipoh Chicken Rice Shop in Sunway Giza . True wor..when we arrived,  it was not open.

 Jalan punya jalan hentam one shop la. it was Ajisen Ramen.

Mamarazzi's beef something something terrayaki rice set. She complain say sauce too sweet.  but I taste ok wor.

Happy Healthy Home with method - Living Room (Part 1)

 

Last week received another parcel. Yea, been receiving quite a few parcels from various friends. Really paiseh as have yet to post up to thank everyone for their thoughtfulness.

This round it's "method products". There is the  :-

- method Squirt + Mop Hard Floor Cleaner in Lemon Ginger Scent

- method All-Purpose Natural Surface Cleaner in french Lavender scent

- method for wood goods polish with Almond scent; and 

- method Glass + Surface Natural Glass Cleaner in mint scent.

Mamarazzi can't wait to try them out.

 

Actually we have been using method Squirt + Mop Hard Floor Cleaner in Lemon Ginger Scent for quite some time before this. Even before we moved.

It was of great help to us when we were shifting. This photo was taken in the old house before shifting.

See the thick layer of dust and dirt gathered at the corner...How many of you out there can say you sweep and mop all those corners behind the cabinets and television?

Well Mamarazzi is one of those who turn a blind eye on those corners. As a result...stubborn dust and dirt gathered behind those corners. Just imagine all the scrubbing needed to scrub out those dirt. *sweat*

 I saw Mamarazzi was going to mop the floor and I offered to help. She "squirt" and I mop.

To the left and to the right....Behind all those cabinets, table and sofa.

Mamarazzi love the well designed shower-nozzle spray. Just squeeze and it covers large portion of the floor area. No puddling.

No worried about slipping on a puddle. 

 Jeng! Jeng! Clean or not? Sparkling right?  Okay la...there are still some smudges on the wall. Mamarazzi lazy to wipe the wall lah. After all, method Squirt + Mop is for floor and not wall. *Turn blind eye syndrome*

Super exhausted. I helped with the cleaning, packing and carrying heavy boxes to stack up at a corner leh.

 

At the new house, Mamarazzi continued using method Squirt + Mop Hard Floor Cleaner for the whole house....from kitchen to dining room to living room...kitchen...bedrooms even the stairs were not spared.

Actually they have Method Squirt & Mop Wood Floor Cleaner but since we don't have wooden flooring....oh well....

 

Finally finished one bottle of it. No...I don't mean that it takes a bottle of this each time to clean the floor. That would be too much.

Anyway, this is abnormal circumstances. We were shifting and needed to clean the old and new house. Hence uses a lot. Actually the bottle was already half gone from daily use before we shifted.

What Mamarazzi loves about this that she doesn't need to bend down a lot when using this. Just squirt and mop. No danger of slipping over wet floor too. 

 We have this glass coffee table. From far it looked clean.

But nearer inspection, there were smudges,  dust and grease. 

 

Best way to clean it would be using Glass Cleaner.

 

But many glass cleaners contain ammonia, which is a great grease cutter however Ammonia is toxic. Ammonia can release dangerous fumes that should not be inhaled in high dosage as it can cause lung damage.

Alternative non-toxic way to go about it is to use vinegar and water but that would leave a nasty smell. It would takes long time for the smell to go away.

I guess many houses nowadays have tinted windows, right? Mamarazzi didn't know until recently Ammonia based cleaners cannot be used on tinted windows cause ammonia  dry out plastic and rubber. 

As the new house windows are tinted, we have to look for  glass cleaner that is “ammonia-free” or “safe for tinted windows"

 Last Friday,  Mamarazzi tried out method Glass + Surface Natural Glass Cleaner. Spray on the coffee table. 

Nah...not doing the windows yet coz lazy to climb/still clean in her opinion/dust not thick enough  she wanna start with small project first.

 Some would use an old cloth or this more advance microfiber towel  but Mamarrazi uses old newspaper. Sure to be squeaky clean. No streaks or chemical stank. Sure love the refreshing minty scent.
