So it's the school holidays, the roads are clear-ish, the office is somewhat quiet, the holiday spots are booked out.

I started writing this, and then forgot all about it!
I have been a silent reader of Anna's creativity and craftiness for a long time now. I also once declared that I would attempt this at home myself (along with revamping this blog, putting in more attention on properly setting up ...

I subscribe to BBC's Global News podcasts. Since the China earthquake they have been covering it in every podcast episode.

Currently it's Bee Movie. She won't have it any other way. Not Playhouse Disney channel (with a myriad of shows like Bananas in Pj's, Thomas and Friends, Pocoyo), not past faves like Bear in the Big Blue House or Little Einsteins on VCD's.
Anytime we walk through the door, it's ...

Finally, over the weekend we decided to do something as a family, a semi adventure for Caitlin too. We went to Genting Highlands.
Specifically we went to the outdoor theme park, seeing as Caitlin's been to the indoor one when her aunt was back for holidays not-too-distant-memory ago- even for a ...

Sigh, this Daddee ah, so silly...
It's okay Daddee, I licked it already!
Daddee? Where is the talker from the radio?
What do you mean?
Where is the talker on the radio; where is he?

While playing with her Lego toys, we were trying to build a tall castle, which obviously kept falling over. ...

"I good of colouring already.."
Did you know that "k" is for kettle?
I wonder what "L" will stand for?

Caleb the Daddee-bully, takes forever drinking his milk. He'd start off all keen; naturally cos he's hungry, then at about 3oz left (we give him 6oz at the moment), he'd start showing less interest and start being distracted.
By distracted, for a 4 month old kid, is: Stop sucking, looking around, ...

This had to happen at some point during the parenting journey; at least that's been my view. I just never thought it was going to be so soon!
I came home from work last night and greeted my inlaws and Caitlin.
Hi Caitlin! How's school today; any homework?
No... OH Daddee, (something to ...

It shouldn't be, given that Caleb is our second child...
But this Daddee seem to only have started knowing how to read the little human's signs. And for the life of me, I can't seem to recall those of Caitlin's when she was his age.

I wanna post something, but I don't seem to have anything on my mind to share at the moment....
So, here's an image, or two, to share, instead.
Taken only just now. The room was dimly lit, naturally. Set the camera to very slow shutter speed; 10 sec shutter speed in fact. ...

Happy to report that Caitlin's colouring (ie, her motor skills with the pencil) has been improving steadily. She has been getting at least one star-rating from her homework from her teacher; who, earlier this year, was telling us that her motor skills was lacking.
Incidentally, it is coming to that time ...

So today, May 1st, is Labour Day. Caitlin felt like "going shopping." So, we impromptu-ly agreed.
Not that she needed to buy anything; to her shopping is akin to walking around in a shopping centre or a supermarket. Admittedly since starting school she has not had much chance in doing the ...

Taking the cue from the comment on checking my own old photos and comparing them to my kids now, I thought I'd do this comparison!
I was actually naked in that picture! No, not shy, just that its easier doing a mugshot comparison this way.
When looking at the photos, I couldn't ...
