We were really blessed with awesome friends, especially a network of parent friends. Thank you to these nice and generous folks, Z enjoyed his first week of holidays thoroughly and we got to focus our time at work prior to an 11-day holiday. As Z was going to school for soccer camp, we arranged to… Continue reading Z’s favorite hangout during holidays
We brought Z to watch Les Miserables on the opening night. I had been feeling half hearted but an acquaintance was trying to sell off her tickets due to clash in schedule. I bought the tickets over and presto, we had pretty good seats for the musical. After parking and heading for dinner on a… Continue reading Les Miserables with Z
1. Mediacorp Academy Fun with Mandarin Holiday camp After a 2-day 930-530pm camp, the school invited us to watch a short performance. Z’s group comprised of the 6-7 years’ old.

We had Z’s PTM on the last day of school. It was rescheduled from the original dates as I was away on a business trip. We had it in Z’s classroom and it was rather simple and straightforward.

These days, the kids’ loot looked a tad different from the yesteryears of milk bottles, metal die-cast cars and wooden trains. We had a mission from the earlier month to buy X a new car seat. There were very few departmental stores selling Combi products. I only knew of Takashimaya and Isetan carrying this brand… Continue reading Kids’ shopping loot
When Z turned 3, X came along. I took the chance to make a photobook to chronicle Z’s growth from a baby to a 3-year old toddler. It seemed only natural that I would do the same when X turned 3. X had turned 3 for a few months and I never got round to… Continue reading Every 3 years
