Costco @ Daejeon

We managed to get a family card for Costco. It is one of my favourite places to window shop. Besides big bulky items, there are some stuff which are worth getting.

Compared to the duck we used in Bali, these swimming floats are huge!

Haha... you sure you wanna get those? Your teeth will decay.

Telescope. Costco sells this just like any other consumables.

Haha... the happy parents when the baby fell asleep soundly. lol.

 And the baby misses all the fun and food tasting.

Day 1 at Daejeon

Arrival at the airport. Although we missed the winter olympics but we still get to "High Five" with the mascot.

Gabriella loves the huge and super sweet strawberries. She will eat 3-4 pieces at one go.

Gabriella eats from the bowl which Hayool daddy used to use about 30 years ago. I am surprised they kept it so well.

"Flower", she says.

Mini playground near our home.

Haha... who is the one young at heart?

haha... sulky because it is sunny.

Doing a "High five" in the middle of the street. 

 Gabriella looks really cute with the bib. Too bad I hardly get to see her use it as she refuses to.

"The dry weather is making my booger dry too. Makes me wanna dig my nose."

Gabriella's fav pastime is to press the buttons of the audio system.

Going to Korea at 15 months - At Changi Terminal 4

We are going to visit grandparents again at 15 months. :) It is our first time at Terminal 4, so spacious and quite high tech.

There is so much space to run around. 

Gabriella loves sitting on the stroller. 

There is a mini remake of heritage street within the Terminal 4 departure hall.

Feeling energized and taking lotsa pictures with the displays.

And family wefies

oo... I think I saw this dog at Clementi libary.

Look at Gabriella... doesn't she look excited too?

Loving the stroller... haha

She just wanna sit in it all the time. LOL

Daddy's signature pose. lol How long more can daddy strike this pose? Gabriella's getting heavier.

Gabriella almost can't fit in the bassinet. She now prefers walking around... and taking things out.

Reflections at 33

2 major changes in my life at 32 have propelled me to take on the route of entrepreneurship. With the motivation to lead by example for my little gal and with the support from my hubby, I trade-off financial stability with starting a venture (of course, it is one with a mission and a team I truly believe in).
I reckon it is never to late to start trying. I hope when I reach 35 and reflect back, these 2 yrs will be the best ever. And when I reach 40, I can say to my little gal, "I hope mommy has made you proud."
~Fulfilling wishes, (a) fulfilling legacy~

HTML & CSS Part II (Learn to code)

In part 2 of Progate's HTML & CSS lesson, I will be learning to develop the landing page of a website.

CSS:
  • {background-image:url(top.png);} (Note: image will repeat itself until fills the whole space)
  • {background-size:cover;} (Note: background will be filled with a single image)
  • Center the container class by specifying{margin:0 auto;} and{width: 300px;}
  • {opacity: 0.0;} makes entire element transparent (0.0 being most transparent and 1.0 being most opaque) 
  • {background-color: rgba(73,201,192, 0.5);} (Note: only background becomes transparent)
  • {letter-spacing: 10px;}
  • Creating buttons using <a> tags which is an inline element. {display: block;}
  • div:hover{background-color: red;} is used to change background upon hover.
  • {border-radius: 10px;} is used to round the corners of elements such as a button
  • {text-align: left;} aligns inline and inline-block elements left.
  • {margin: 0 auto;} and {text-align: center;} can center elements, but margin is for block level elements like containers and text-align is for inline/inline-block elements like buttons and text.
  • {transition; all 1s;} (Note: Transition is used to add animations; The target can be a property, like color, but we often just specify all so it applies to all properties.)
  • {line-height: 10px;} (Note: to vertically center the text by specifying the same value for the height and the line-height)
  • {font-weight: bold;} (Normal or bold to change thickness of text)
  • {width: 50%;} (Specifying size with % instead of px, can calculate width based on parent width. Same for height). 
  • Overlapping elements {position: absolute;} then position relative to the top-left corner of the webpage using {top: 50px; left: 50px;} properties, or specifying {position: relative;} to its ancestor element.

Using Icons on Webpage:
  1. Copy the entire font-awesome directory into your project
  2. In the <head> of your html, reference the location to your font-awesome.min.css. 
  3. <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">
  4. Check out the examples to start using Font Awesome!
  5.  Add a <span> tag with the classes fa and fa-<icon name>
