Photographer taking photographer

We’re in KL for a short short getaway… will blog more about it when we’re back. We just came back to the hotel and I’ve a perfect picture for today’s Photo *heart* Fridays! Nicole our resident photographer did the professional thing to position her siblings. She got them to pose, tilt their head at a…



Lanterns in Chinatown

On Monday, on an impulse, we packed everyone into the car and zoomed off to Chinatown to soak in the Mid Autumn Festival celebrations. Impulse cos it wasn’t planned! We left the house at 7.30 p.m. after dinner, told ourselves have to be back by 9 p.m. for bedtime! wahahahaha!! It was so unplanned we…



Therapy 101–Does my child need therapy?

Nadine is Mei Mei in our family. We call her Mei Mei, so do the grandparents, aunties, uncles, church friends, neighbours etc. I know this was quite common, cos when we call her, “MEI MEI”, many little girls do look up! (guess it’d be the same, if we called out “BABY”) Well, Mei Mei is…

Besides safety, one other reason for following bringing them to the toilet is ensuring cleanliness. I’m not…



Pre-School expenses going UP!

Nathan is in K1 and Nadine in Nursery. Both of them attend a full-day childcare centre. We drop them off at 8 a.m. and pick them before 5.30 p.m. The arrangement is perfect for now, as the full day programme occupies them and gives them a very complete curriculum for the academic, aesthetics and social…
