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 [...]

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 [...]

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….. Okay okay, this may not be a big deal for some of you guys, but it is for me; cos it’s not always that we get [...]

Crash course (10 dish course?) in project management
February 13th, 2009 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, Education, Food & feeding, Parenting musing, Short post, Simple pleasures, milestones
I would say that in planning for this event, my niece has had her first taste in project (event?) managing and executing a pretty major event, even if it’s only a family affair. And being the cheeky uncle that I am, during times of emailing and IM-ing with her I pressured her highlighting things like [...]

Damaged checked-in car seat :(

As you know, it’s regulations in Australia to have your child seated in a proper car seat while in the car. So since my friends in Adelaide either don’t have a spare one to loan me, or that their kids are already grown, I had to bring my own on this trip (I also had [...]

“… 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. [...]

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 [...]
