Samuel at the viewing gallery T1 Airport

Samuel at T2 viewing gallery
"Daddy, can we go for holidays?" Samuel asked. "I want to sit an aeroplane..." And he kept repeating that last night. I realised that since they came into our lives, we had no time to plan for holidays, and being too small to travel, we hesitated whenever we thought of going on a trip. The good news is now they are old enough, and my baby girl just got her new BIOMETRIC passport! Wow its really cool compared to my own passport. So we are planning where to go in December! yeay!!

Sandra running to dear daddy..

Sandra running towards me
We were at the Changi Airport last night. Its a beautiful place where you can admire the achievements done by our international airport. We were at the viewing gallery terminal 2 and here is Sandra, carrying her pink water bottle, running toward her dear daddy. It was such as wonderful feeling to be with my family at the airport. We saw many expats arriving and leaving our country...I think we have done very well!

Sandra at Macs playing with a drinking straw


Caught this moment and I thought she was so adoring! Look at how she plays with the straw with her mouth. We were waiting until her lesson begins so we had nothing better to do than to play with MacDonald's straws. I hope the branch manger didn't mind us taking so many straws!

Samuel and Sandra going for violin lessons

Sandra at Toy R Us


Taken at the Forum Toy R Us store. Was waiting for Samuel to finish his violin lesson. Took Sandra to the forum shopping and she really enjoyed herself fiddling with toys there!

Sandra close up!

I realised that my daughter has got a bigger right eye. This pic was taken when we were at The Forum today. It is clearly seen in this close up shot of her in my arms as I took this pic with my camera hp. I think she is going to be a right-eyed lefty. Yeah! She is a lefty like me..and how I know? Well my wife told me so, but I also had observed that she'd grab anything with her left hand first..My genes expressed. =)

Daddy and Sandra

Daddy kissing Sandra
This picture was taken by my brother when he happened to see me playing with my daughter. I think we were at Tangs downtown. I didn't know he had taken it until he MMSed me. My heart melted totally when I saw this pic, as I saw all the joy expressed in Sandra. I love you my dearest dearest baby daughter!

Tickle Test - Coffee Drink

Here's the result I got from the tickle test quiz on coffee drinks. Thanks Alex the Garfield guy!(2e3) for inviting me to take up the quiz...

Kenneth, your coffee drink is Sweet

A kind and caring soul like you is as warm and comforting as a hot cup of sweet coffee. From parties to book-club meetings to backyard barbecues, you're friendly and welcoming no matter if you're playing host, mingling with guests, or just chilling out with good friends.You've got a big heart, and you're not afraid to share your feelings and let others know how much they mean to you. People know your friendly smile and fun personality can brighten up any occasion. Sound sweet? A dash of sugar is just your style.

Samuel posing for the best shot at the wedding..

Samuel posing for pic
Samuel posing happily in front of my HP camera. We were at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club for my old friend's wedding. In the background is the open air tentage for the wedding ceremony and dinner (buffet style) much to the preference of Europeans in Singapore. I think Samuel was really happy that night, because his 'uncle christof' invited him to the party and he was served with lots of food!!

My ex-colleagues (old friend) wedding...

Christof wedding ice block
The time has come for him to finally tie the knot. A few years ago, he'd told me that he would remain single. But love came, the girl of his life crossed path with his, and they fell in love. Christof is a gentleman from Germany, my ex-colleague when I was working as an RA at NUS in the late 90s. Well, they have been seeing each other for a long long time, since the first time I got to know him, but they never mentioned anything about getting married. I'm so happy for them. The pic is a statue of two doves embracing lovingly on top of the symbol of love, carved out of a block of ice. Isn't that amazing?!

Samuel got a hair cut..

Samuel got a hair cut
Took Samuel for a hair cut in the afternoon at Parkway Parade. And an expensive hair cut too (60% more than a normal cut) from a professional saloon for kids. It was for attending an old friend's (ex-colleague's) wedding tonight. He looked so grown up, oh my God! I would have preferred him with the longer curly hair that made him looked cuter.. But what to do, it has already been cut. And he is all smiles anyway! haaa..

Teacher's Day Celebration...

Presents from students
It was a day to remember...Was my FIRST teacher's day celebration since I began my teaching career as a full-fledge qualified teacher. The students gave so much love to us that day..I was touched beyond the realm of understanding, beyond the dreams I wished for...and beyond everything that I have ever felt in my entire life. Thank you... My emotions took over my sobbing heart, and it overtook my body tiredness...I remembered that very teacher's day morning as I stepped into my form class, and someone ask loudly, "Cher, you looked so tired today!" The last day of Term 3, and I had somehow borrowed energy from tomorrow to stay awake that day...
