Nathaniel K2 Graduation at BBTK 24 Oct 2015

In a blink, he has completed his pre-primary education at Bethesda Bedok-Tampines Church Kindergarten.

Nathaniel's first try of the graduation hat and gown.

Looking at these pics, I can see the uncanny resemblance and I feel like I am in a time tunnel, looking at myself as if I am my father from a couple of decades ago.

I am unable to explain the weird epiphany I had that day, but I guess when the older folks kept encouraging the married couples to have kids of their own, this kinda explains why.

I saw the better version of me and he has all the time in the world to make mistakes and change the world in ways I never did.

Family outing to Ubin 5 Sept 2015

My children were born on an island.
But they have no idea what island living is all about.

So on this particular Saturday morning, I brought them to Pulau Ubin.

They had their share of sun, sand, sea, jungles, tracks, insects, crabs, mudskippers, mangroves,wild boars and did I mention sun?

And they said they didn't want to go back there ever again..

/me faints.

We were invited by the owners of Sarah's Pancakes for this special event as they were visited by the 501st Singapore Garrison.

Disneyland Paris 22nd Dec 2014

We waited for about 30mins in the queue before we could get in Disneyland itself.

Isabel wanted to try those coaster rides but was denied because of her height.
In the end, all of us went kiddy rides with her.

Can see from her face that she wasn't too happy that day.

I promised her to bring her to Universal Studios in Singapore once she is tall enough.

This one is a dare-devil.. Don't play play...

A wholesome day out with just me and my kids in London 28 Dec 2014 (Part 1)

It was a day of walking with their daddy and I bet they regretted not choosing to go with their mummy to go shopping (Picadilly Circus & Oxford Street) instead.

We must have done more than 10km of walking that day.

We started off our walk at Embankment station, crossed the Thames using the Millenium Bridge, saw the London Eye and it's extended queue, walked past the London Dungeon, cross the Thames River again to see Big Ben and Westminster.

And just when we thought we can just hop on a train to go from Westminster station to London Bridge, it turned out that several tube stations were closed due to maintenance and that made us walk the whole stretch from Westminster all the way across the station St James Park(closed that 2 weeks) to Victoria Station where we took the tube to London Bridge station.

During the journey, we were either looking for cafes to use their toilets or just resting at bus stops to shelter our faces from the cold winds. We caught some fun while resting at this park near to Victoria station where the kids had a fun experience of chasing pigeons, seeing a whole bunch of them take flight, make a small loop and land again in the same area.

Once we reached London Bridge station, we walked across the Thames and along it to reach the Tower Bridge and looped back to London Bridge via the opposite bank pedestrian pathways.

Nate was so knackered that he started to make some unintelligible speech and was laughing to himself after realising it.

It goes something like "OrChee Orr Orr".

When we reached London Bridge station again after so much walking, the kids were so elated to see their mum at the Station. So tired we were, we just dined at a nearby takeaway shop.

Quite a heavy day on foot for the kids but it was very memorable.

Isabel's 8th Birthday Party 14 Dec 2012

8 years ago, the night before Isabel was born, I brought Mrs Neo to watch "Blade Trinity" at 9pm.

After the movie, I whispered to the tummy, "I so can't wait to see you! Will you come out to see me soon?".

The next day, Isabel was delivered after a few hours of labour pain.

Just minutes after being delivered

So she is 8 now. I wonder if she'd recall all her birthday parties... But here's one for the record for her to remember!

My kids day out at Marina Barrage 8th August 2010

It was a sunny day, most photos were taken with F6 to F16.
70-300mm Sigma APO zoom lens was used very often to capture candid shots from a distance away.

The entire family was glad to have spent the day outdoors in the sun and occasionally in the shade for our little picnic.

I love my dotter's radiant smile! It will break many hearts when the day comes.

Cheeky Isabel and our maid, Yunani

She loves posing for the camera

A bird, a plane or a layang(kite) ?

Nathaniel testing the water...

No no no, I don't like the cold and wet water!

Mummy wants Nate to try again...

Nathaniel strong rejection to try getting his feet wet... ( we shall see )

Look, Dad! I'm in the water!

Who wanna play catch the ball with me?

Fishing for the ball

Nate's hooray pose!

I threw the ball that direction!

Mummy looks so radiant too!

Now I love the water!

Without any trace of doubt, the bum is wet.

This was the look that made me fall many years ago.

The prisoner in white

Isabel loves her new toy!
