So suddenly, a very available Mummy became very busy.  My children felt it, because Donald would come and try to drag me away from the computer, Toria would crawl under my chair and whine and indicates that she wants to be carried… I feel [...]

We went for dinner with Oma and Ogu, and Ogu was about to order drinks for everyone. Ogu asked “What drink does Mummy want?” and before Mummy could answer, Donald answered “Oolong Cha“.

This post is back-dated to 13 August 2007. Had been so busy with so many things that we had not been taking much pictures. Toria has grown so much, she is changing day by day and we are too slow to document it. She is one little chili-padi, and we love it!

We went to a coffeeshop at the seaside to have dinner. Since it was low tide, the kids all clamoured down the big rocks. Donald insisted to follow the bigger kids, so Lao Sim and Daddy had to ‘jagah’ him. You won’t believe it, when Toria saw them having fun, she flapped her hands so [...]

The children all went out to the backyard, to cycle, to run, to sweat it out. It feels good to see the rosy cheeks on Donald’s face, and the sweat wetting the side of his head… svgallery=20070805c
