pre-school time


Two more hours to class. Managed to squeeze out some time for lunch with kartaly, cocoatina and kelly, and seven-month-old godson ethan. Learnt three new things during this short outing:

1. The whole of Singapore doesn't need to work or go to school today, and they've congregated at Plaza Singapura. Car park was full, food court packed, teens out in droves.

2. Banks are child-friendly too. Need a break from carrying junior? The Quick Cheque Deposit comes in handy (see picture of Ethan on right). Just deposit lor! Kids like 'em!



3. Sometimes kids bring out maternal instincts you never knew your friends had. Kartaly - smitten with Ethan - handles the pram with finesse, vigour and all that sass (see picture on left)! She wants to copy The SASSY Slumbering Girl lor...

(4. Eh, this is an extra point, learnt not only today. Whenever going out with a mummy with her arms full of the kid, be prepared to hold the kid's bolster, carry the huge baby bag, lug the mummy's and your own shopping, and err...answer the mummy's phone!)

Aiyoh, Caedmon, you sure you up to being The Maid? My man's Maid is a very sexy Filipino starlet, you know... hahah.

Hello Beng Beng! I was looking for a nick many many years ago, and in my old flat in TP, I had a huge laminated world map on my wall. Kartaly is the name of a tiny island off Russia (if I remembered correctly). Nice and exotic, isn't it? =)
