So anyway, I was queueing to renew my Jusco loyalty rewards card. Picked up a copy of their newsletter Jusco Pearl, flipped through and saw an article with the above title. Okay, I thought, let's see what I can learn.

Moomykin posted a few pics in a post she titled Max The Terror.
After a few comments, we ended up with the idea to safeguard ourselves from the kids when they are grown: To have some insurance to protect us (blackmail?) from them....

From my immediate post before this, I was given a few ideas for future post topics. The first two look like fun, so I am going to attempt them, the second one first!
Write about your conceptions about being a dad BEFORE you become and what happened after you become a ...

So this Daddee had actually taken a few days off work just to be with Caitlin, on her first school holiday break.

She props herself up on her elbows, on the bed, peering over the mini-mountains of pillows. In this light I can just make out the outline of her japanese doll haircut, and her eyebrows. She is looking at me.

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

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. ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

A prequel episode:
Visit to the Doctor!
As with all newborns, Caitlin's first few visits to Dr Pixie's weren't exactly pleasant for her. But the one visit that really stood out in my memory, was the time when her cold / nasal congestion was so bad that she needed suction performed up ...
