Kindergarden School Hunt

Alas... Its time to search for kindergarden school for Hong Yi. Names like Beaconhouse, Fungates, Q-Dees, Montessori; names that I have never heard of; are now options that need to be consider- all equipped with pros and cons I must say. I have couple of weeks to do some research before detail analysis.

What is the most important factor? Location? Convenience? Education material/method? Environment? Answer: All of the above. (Gee.. this is a difficult business to please your customers..)

And the winner is ... (drum rolls...)

Montessori of course...

Port Dickson

The thought of going for a family trip with two kids has always been scary to me. The recent three days two nights trip to Port Dickson is as tiring as expected, however, not as scary as initially feared. Everything is worthwhile when the kids enjoy themselves.

Mi3

Bought a new mobile phone- mi3. Everything appears to be great so far. Is it cheap n good or does it have the usual "Buatan Charactoristic"? i.e. Not build to last?

Mountain & Foot

One mountain is higher than another. One foot is bigger than another.

Hong Xin versus Hong Yi.

Mine versus Hong Yi.

Sticker Collection Book

It is a great feeling passing down a hobby to your son. The book on the left is my collection when I was a boy. I have spent years collecting stickers but I wasn’t able to collect much and only filled the book about 70%. Hong Yi is helping me finishing the collection now. The book on the right is Hong Yi’s. It is progressing fast. I am pretty sure he will be up to book number two in no time.

100 Days Old

Hong Xin is a hundred days old. Wow. That’s fast. She sure is enjoying all the attention at her during her 100 days old lunch gathering.

Welcome Hong Xin

Welcome Hong Xin to the family!

Oh WOW! You weighted 3.58kg, which is a good half a kg more than expected, even by the doctor the morning before you arrive. You are fed well.

Game of Thrones

Finally, the long waited Game of Thrones Season 4 is starting today, once a week for ten consecutive weeks. The most amazing thing about this series so far is

1. The bad guys keep winning. The good guys keep losing - end up dead, dead or dead.

2. The director will show u various angles on the bad guys and the moment you start to like them, they will be killed (as per no. 1).

Some of my favorite character such as John Snow and Ygritte are probably going to end up dead this season. Oh I am starting to like Arya. Is she safe?

Water versus water

The only good thing about government limiting the water supply is people like me start realizing that Water is sometimes more important than "water" (as in $$).

Having to seriously cut down on toilet time is no joke. To my surprise, I just realise that the toilet bowl consume the most amount of water in the house.

Retirement

I wish to retire from the game of basketball – this is the feeling I felt after each basketball game. However, the ‘retirement’ usually didn’t last very long. I play basketball for the first time since last August, in which we won the 3 on 3 competition. The main reason for the feeling of retirement is due to my performance- not even able to beat players whom I think not worthy to play against, that I should crush them like elephant stepping on ants. Yet however, my current self is less than one tenth of whom I used to be. I still think I can soar when I can barely jump. I still think I can move swiftly when I can barely move. I still think I can shoot like Jordan when all I can do is throw bricks. Time for a real retirement perhaps.

The Malaysia War Monument.

First visit back to this place since 1988. This is the first visit for Sacha and Hong Yi. Having similar concepts to places like Perth’s King’s Park, I wonder why not many Malaysian come to this place. It’s just filled with tourist from China. Where’s all the local tourist?
