Got me tagged for another, err, tag; by Moomykin
Rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. List 5 things that could make your life very different should it come true.

1. If I didn’t play dead, I would have drowned that day at the rapids, at Kuala Kubu Baru.
See, since I was [...]
The place where I work has recently just launched a blogsite. To out knowledge, there’s only one other company in our industry that has a blogsite. So, we are kinda proud!
And naturally, I am one of the blog contributors ;D
I wrote this one recently, and thought to share it here too. It may not have [...]
Caitlin, when she was about 2 years 3 months old, showing how she can rotate her dummy hands-free!
These are screen-grabs of a video clip I took of her just before bed one night.
This was probably only a few weeks before we started weaning her off the dummy. I think it took about under a week [...]
Just came back from another extended-family dinner at Dr Pixie’s; sans the smiley face candles this time. It was really just a catch-up dinner with my parents, siblings, and the 3rd generation.
One of the stories shared was how one of my nephews had really come out of his shell as he reached puberty and into [...]

Following up on the first post about my expectations of becoming a dad for the first time, I would like to continue with the second part of the blog-topic sugguestion- this time on becoming a dad for the second time.
I mentioned we were going to only have 2 kids. Since we already have Caitlin, we [...]
This is a little-bit-techie post…
You know I like taking photos of the kids. I also like taking videos of them in action: Those first steps, the changing look(s), them in action in the walker / tricycle / simply playing, their vocab, changing the voice.
I sometimes find myself in a dilemma when various occasions present [...]
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 her nose.
Not a very [...]
I got this email from a friend, from his friend. Must be the season for it
When I was 4 Years Old : My father is THE BEST
When I was 6 Years Old : My father seems to know everyone
When I was 10 Years Old : My father is excellent but he [...]
If you are a regular reader, you’d have picked up that Caitlin is in my mum-in-law’s care during our working / office hours. This was the arrangement pretty much right from her birth.
Mum’s key to toilet training Caitlin was regularity. At almost-specific times of the day (maybe 4-5 times a day) she would bring Caitlin [...]
You know, Caitlin, that the day you were due to be born, Mummee & Daddee still attended Aunty Ivy’s wedding dinner? Everyone was amazed that Mummee & Daddee actually turned up at the banquet hall despite telling everyone that we may have to give it a miss! Do you remember hearing all the happy cheers [...]
One of the essential items parents of newborns need is a baby monitor.
We got ours from Toys ‘R Us, at RM179. It wasn’t the cheapest nor the dearest, but we thought it would serve our needs.
Inside the packaging are the baby unit, parent’s unit, & an AC adapter. Both units can house 4 AA batteries, [...]
Having older siblings help. They sometimes share their “if only” stories.
“If only I have taken more photos of my kids..”
Fathers, invest in a good (digital) camera, in a good video camera, & time.
I, for one, am already missing some of the phases & moments of my (only a very young) going-on-3 years old little girl… [...]
Recently I had decided it was time for Caitlin to “move on” to another stage of her young life.
As with all babies & toddlers, all this while we have had to carry her on & off her cot, over the protective barrier that, obviously, keeps her from rolling / falling off her cot.
For over a [...]
It is still clear in my head, the visual “playback” of my schoolmate’s reaction to my statement, & my reaction to his reaction; from so many years ago during a class break.
We were talking about what we do at home after school, during free time, etc. Don’t forget this is all pre-internet days!
“I get on [...]
