first drumstick...

most of us would not have remembered our first taste of chicken drumstick... but almost all Chinese had them at the same time... my girl had it 3 days ago... when she is four month old ... this is part of the Chinese custom... using a drumstick to symbolise that the child is ready to taste other kinds of food... not just MILK MILK and MILK anymore! my mum-inlaw gave my little girl her 'prize'... my wife and i were not present to catch the scene... heard that she resisted it for sometime and when my girl 'sensed' that it is something tasty... she was sucking it all the way... quite different from her eldest sister (who resisted it all the way)... seems like those born in the year of Pig is really something... clever and greedy! PS: we will still give her MILK (and nothing else) for now till six month old. as recommended by our PD.

radio spice up driving and taste changes

it must have been age that is doing this trick... in the early childhood days, Perfect 10 (98.7fm) used to be my fav radio channel... bernard lim and vernetta... music was great... the 'in' station... we used to record some songs using cassette tapes - the best recording media back then ... (the other invention that is great - video tapes). during sec 3, somehow (i also don't know why)..933fm - mandarin station becomes my centre of focus... probably that was when Karaoke was popular but my 'potential' in singing was only realised at a later stage...hahahha... loyalty to radio 933fm stayed ... for almost 10 years... until i met my wife... class 95fm becomes my choice...all the fav 90's and 80's songs...all retro... all the mambo... the discos tracks... flying dutchman in the morning hours with hubert tang... simply great team... almost another 8 years has past and i am still with class95... but only in the morning hours weekdays (where flying dutchman is stil

how fast she has grown...

it's really been a while since my last post. i am making different decisions everyday... one moment i am staying at my house, the next moment i could be sleeping at my in-laws place... all thanks to my little girl... my wife has past her 'honeymoon' phase... honeymoon with the baby and joining the workforce... almost 4 months... i am wondering how she can get used to the 'working' life.. today first day... for the past weeks, i have been a 'marathon runner' with my car... shuffling between my house. my kid's school at PSA building and my inlaw place... really great... the feeling is like driving to JB in and out... super shack... times really flies, this picture was taken when my little girl was 1 week old. this was about 3 months old... look at her so 'un-friendly' and boyish and...looks so mature ...can sit up somemore. but the picture that i really think is great is -> looks like a one year old...hahha...look at her expression...scare, wo

parking fees hike at Metro Paragon (GST 7%)?

its been a long time since i last parked at Metro Paragon... i remember (vaguely) that the price was SGD3.15 (with GST) for first 2 hours or something like that, before 1 July. with the GST 7% increase from GST 5%, the parking went up to SGD3.37...what is this! either i failed my maths or the car park management has a maths problem... CASE or FORUM or SPH should look at this.

playstation 2 for sale

my family was at Best Denki, VivoCity last Thursday... we wanted to check out Nintendo Wii (intended for my inlaw)... just gave them my old PC (loaded with games) and they were enjoying it. Wii is supposed to be my mum-inlaw's birthday gift... alas... not a single console was in sight (all sold out)... while wondering past the rest of the consoles.... XBOX360 and PSP... my wife came across this small notice: PS3 clearance set... without thinking, we ask for a view of the display set and ended getting one... talked about impluse buying... with PS3 around, my PS2 had to go... any takers @ a price will be good... PS2 with 2 controllers and 2 guns...fully modified... i had been testing the new console lately... weight is like a CPU (ventilation is greatly required)... 60GB HDD can be partitioned into 2 parts (one for PS3, the other for you to install your own OS)... it is really like a CPU. If you are thinking of getting a CPU, might as well buy a PS3. imagine it comes with Blu-Ray pla
