Longkang fishing

The good thing about having a car is that you need not be stuck at the malls on weekends. With a car, you can explore and travel on the untrodden track. That Sunday, we went longkang fishing and exploring the far ends of Singapore .

Still have such bus-stop in Singapore. Interesting.

First car

The husband finally bought the family first car. He is a finance person who is dead against buying a car. To him, the car is a liability which depreciates the first day you bought it. However, his current job requires him to  move around quite a fair bit and so he finally made up his mind to buy one. A used one…presenting our new helper

The US Presidential election

Was just telling the husband that time really went by so fast. I couldn't imagine that we have went to US and back. Went to Shanghai and back. When we were in US, we witnessed the 44th US Presidential election and the swearing in of the first American African US president. In less than two day, the Americans are going to elect their 45th president. Really, time and tide wait for no man. What have you not done, just do it!

Results out…

I was having lunch with the kids when Kai's iPSLE results were released…

Dear Ms Shirley, Congratulations to Shia Kai! He has done very well in the iPSLE 2012 and has won himself 2 other certificates: 1) Outstanding Subject Performance in English 2) Certificate of Merit   The next thing to do will be choosing his secondary school. I am not going to get too stressed and anxious over it. iPSLE is not the end of a child's journey in school. It is just the beginning. The right school plays a part but the big part is played by the home environment and an individual's efforts and motivation. I think Kai has a good home and he is self-motivated and disciplined enough. Will submit application and the rest will leave to God. He will not withhold the best from him.
