What makes Papa cry?

When I was 6 years old, I was handsome. Okay, so I peaked at the age of 6 and it has been downhill in terms of appearance ever since. But obviously I didn’t know it back then. Because back then, all I thought about was wanting to be 7. And now as I am on the cusp » Read More

Lost in LEGOLAND

After nearly 8 years since becoming a Daddy, I would naturally expect a bad thing or two to happen to my monkies. You know, a bad fall here or a bloody gash there. It is just the law of averages. But all these while, I have never lost a child in a public place. Then along » Read More

Life in the fast lane

Christmas is coming. And so we come to the end of another year. We will then embark on a new year that will most certainly go faster than the last. This is the thing that sucks being a parent – life zooms by too quickly to take it all in. How often have you heard someone say that » Read More
