Undisputed Winner!

Daddy and Mummy accompanied me on a kindergarten visit to a Primary School near our house today. It was Racial Harmony day and the school had all sorts of activities, like this sack race. I was the undisputed winner :)

Last Days of the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station

Michael: The first day that the railway station was boarded up for good. Bye bye KTM station. I went to you innumerable times during my Secondary, JC and University education in Singapore. Thank you, incompetents who ran it, at least you did not rape it, and did your best to slow down the degradation which was bound to happen if a higher civilization left technology to monkeys. My baby Jasper and my wife Sharon was at home worn out. I went alone. But I only feel this maudlin only when I search for these words - the X100 just requires me to point and shoot.

Cousin Alysha is born

Just on the morning we had to get back to Singapore from KL, Auntie Joyce gave birth to cousin Alysha in the morning - Uncle Alan rushed to the hospital with her special bag, and when we visited them after breakfast, the baby was already there!

Our House got painted

Finally, after 5 years, a new coat of paint at our house. We better take a picture first before it gets ugly! The paintwork made us much happier, and a lot of the broken corners inside got fixed too. Thanks to uncle Kelvin Hoe for the recommendation of the painter which did the job at 1/3 of the quotation of Patent Waterproof company.

2011 Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon festival

A pretty successful event in the dead synthetic town of Putrajaya near KL. Doraemon and Darth Vader were the stars, and it was an excellent show.

The Incredible Hot Air Balloon Cake @Jasper's 6th Birthday

Look at that incredibly beautiful cake made possible by the dogged determination of Le Patissier Singapore, with some help from mummy's Smurfs. We had the party at Villa Di Parma in Serangoon Gardens and all the school kids came, and Dawn too!!! Having our own balloon tank helps defray costs :) yeah right.

Auntie Mimi Comes

Auntie Mimi comes, in time for Jasper's 6th birthday party at Villa di Parma, complete with the helium tank and balloons.

Daddy and Uncle Foo shared to buy a condo

Daddy and Uncle Foo shared to buy a condominium at Coronation Plaza, they call it a Penthouse. Here's a photo after they went to clean it up one day, shortly after it was rented out.
