What a week it has been…

Yet another fallen man…fallen because he ate the forbidden fruit again. A well know politician couldn’t remain faithful to his vow made to his spouse, fell from the ivory tower. Strangely, the lady was made to look like the hunter and the man, the hunted. If he is an honourable man, he will remember... ‘in sickness and in health, till death do us part” and will screamed “get thee behind me, Satan!” For a relationship to take place, it takes both parties to agree. So why is one a villain and the other a victim?

The saddest part is that some even think that extra-marital affairs are no big deal. A responsible media will not use that as a pull quote (A pull quote (also known as a lift-out quote) is a quotation or excerpt from an article that is typically placed in a larger or distinctive typeface on the same page ... wikipedia). What has society become? Will this society become the modern Sodom and Gomorrah.

The old one was nice and spacious but a little lifeless. I love the vintage set. It is warm and brings me back to my wonderful childhood days!

It was such a great pleasure watching the kids having fun. It has been such a long time since they last sweat it out!

It was their "World Cup". Coaches (blue) vs Campers (red and white). As you can see, the coaches were grossly out-numbered but they won 2:1 (one was own goal). Bully lah, they so big size.

The kids really had a great time. It was really hot but they still played hard. What really impressed me was many of these people who helped to organise this event were volunteers. They were not paid to do it but they did it with lots of passion. For three days, they transfer the logistics early in the morning, set them up, ready for the camp. At the end of the day, they packed up and transferred them back to the office. They even had two pick-up locations to ferry children whose parents couldn't send/fetch them from the camp. This is real passion. We need people with passion to do their jobs. With passion, jobs get done and done well.

A different lesson for the kids

The exams are over, results out. The system failed, the battle has been fought. I have said my peace, I have done my best. I live with no regrets. Now, it is time to move on. Sign up the kids for a three day soccer camp. It was good for them as they make friends with kids from all kinds of background.  Kids whom they will never have a chance to meet and talk to.  This in itself, is an education.

My baby is 8

My little princess turns 8. I was so busy with Kai's school that I almost forgot her birthday. Felt so guilty but thankfully, everything went as planned…

It was a simple dinner at the Black Angus on the actual day
