First day back at school

You can just hear the moans from all the kids around Malaysia this Monday morning, Caitlin’s included.

I had taken June 8, 9, and 10 off to do something with her, those days (already) being the 2nd week of her 2-week school break. Due to some urgency of needing to quickly setup some stock trading accounts, [...]

Differences in preferences

Caitlin likes to go shopping. Make the slightest inkling that we are going shopping and her adrenalin gets pumping.

Typical female I guess. But at least for now she is not keen on checking out shoes….

However, I gotta be fair. I do like to go check out gadget shops too. When we passed the Machines store [...]

MMMmmmmm…..

It’s not always that we get to eat like kings.

But one doesn’t have to be kings to be able to eat like this in mostly all Australian cafes…..

“… as my (a) family…”

I had actually wanted to put this in the Random Quotes section of this blog (there, on the right), but thought it to be too significant.

I don’t know if she learnt it from school, or from Sesame Street’s podcast’s – this particular episode, but somewhere along the line Caitlin’s grasped the concept of family.

It’s a [...]

Toddler’s first movie..

It’s the school holidays this week. I had taken Wednesday and Thursday off with plans with Caitlin.

We were going to include the following activities, initially in no particular order:

Go watch the fireworks (it’s not a very well designed website, by the way, so if you are keen do be patient)
Caitlin’s always been quite excited watching [...]

Mini adventure to The Eye on Malaysia!

.
Just wanted to share our little outing this evening…. that almost didn’t happen…

Since the Genting trip and getting a thrill from the ferris wheel there, I thought the next mini adventure for the little one would be to visit The Eye on Malaysia, our version of the London Eye, to be diplomatic After [...]
