3M™ Polarizing Light helps our kids to study better

[sponsored review]

Our kids normally have their exams in the month of May. They will spent a lot of time studying, and we parents can try our best to make them comfortable.

Mummies can prepare tonic (we heard China students use drips !), while Daddies can bring them outdoors to chill and de-stress.

Parents should also take care of our kids’ eyes.
Our Primary Three boy (Wen Wei) easily clock 3 hours per day on his homework.
Multiply by 5 days and you get 15 hours.

Daddy is convinced that good lighting is critical for a child’s well being.

Click for more eye care tips at www.3Mpolarizinglight.com.sg. Daddy list out a few examples below :

– Let your eyes rest after every 30-40 minutes of near work.
– Maintain a distance of 30cm from your reading materials.
– Sit in a correct and comfortable posture when you are at your desk.
– If your desk surface is too reflective (e.g. glass), cover it with a less reflective material.


Not all lamp are the same, and 3M would tell you that Glare and reflection is bad for eyesight. Wen Wei is already be-spectacled, and we do not want his condition to deteriorate. Glare can cause eye strains and fatigue too.

3M claims their lamp can reduce Glare by up to 60%. We recently got hold of a 3MTM Polarizing Light BL5100. 3M’s technology is in its Polarizing Filter which effectively reduces glare and blocks out UV. The new and innovative filter also allows heat to dissipate faster.

Other features include :

– energy saving light bulbs that save up to 80% energy used. Save cost, and save the environment!
– adjustable height means even our smaller Primary One boy (Wen Kang) can use the lamp when he is studying

Thank you 3M, for allowing our kids to focus better, and improving our studying conditions.

Food Revolution Day, Singapore

On 19 May 2012, the Jamie Oliver Foundation will launch its first-ever Food Revolution Day, a global day of action to inspire, educate and empower people everywhere to stand up for real food.

  • What: Food Revolution Day Dinner Party
  • When: 19th May 2012, 4:00pm – 8:00pm
  • Where: The Lawn, Biopolis Way

In Singapore, a group of passionate food lovers, are putting their heads together and organizing Food Revolution Day. This is an attempt to help spread awareness about the importance of what goes into our food.

Why we’re starting a revolution
These days, the majority of the world’s population is more likely to die from obesity than from hunger. In fact, in America, more people die from diet-related diseases every year than drugs, alcohol, and war combined.

That’s why we want to inspire change in people’s food habits and to promote the mission for better food and education for everyone.

You can expect to see cooking demos, food photography and healthcare talks.
We will be looking forward to catch up with our food blogger friends.

Hello to Ms Tam Chiak, Derrick, Ms Lobster and Melissa 🙂

Food bloggers are a special breed of people, besides taking awesome make-you-hungry pictures, their vocabulary is very powerful. They can use 10 words to describe cheese, when Daddy can only say cheese is “sweet or sour” wahaha (get it?)


Oh, and food bloggers are mostly fun people who love to share their photography and culinary insights. Everybody is welcome, come down with your family, kids, and friends.
Have fun, eat healthy and simply ENJOY the day 🙂
