Regular programming will return

Naomi and I have been more than a lit­tle under the weather, and it’s been tough even updat­ing blogs and tweets reg­u­larly. Noth­ing seems to be hap­pen­ing except for us try­ing to pick our­selves off the floor and meet­ing our var­i­ous oblig­a­tions, many of which involve Kai of course. He’s got a busier social life …

Dettol fights germs and replaces James Lye

So I’m not the only one to realise that in the Det­tol TVC — Diana Ser’s hus­band is not James Lye! If you’re try­ing to con­vince us that you pro­tect your fam­ily with Det­tol, why are you using a double/sub for James?

Junk mail with a cause

I hate junk mail, and not the elec­tronic kind. I get tons of paper jammed into our mail­box down­stairs, and it really really irks me to see that com­pa­nies keep think­ing it’s the best way to get word out about their prod­ucts and ser­vices.

Accord­ing to the ST report, a Saint Andrew’s School player punched an ACS (I) player after the final whis­tle had gone, spark­ing a melée at the Police Acad­emy (wah, dar­ing ah?) field that involved …

A year and a week

It’s been a rough week since Kai’s birth­day — with both Naomi and I under the weather with bouts of food poi­son­ing, flu, and in Naomi’s case, a crook back that is a bit wor­ry­ing, espe­cially con­sid­er­ing she’s had her spine surg­erised before. And of course, a one-year old never lets up. Kai isn’t quite walk­ing …

Kai turns one

And so, our son turned one on Sun­day, accom­pa­nied by the aun­ties and uncles who love him and have show­ered him with so much affec­tion this past year. Naomi fixed up most of the dec­o­ra­tions for the lit­tle tea-party, as well as most of the desserts, while we’re thank­ful we have a chef among our friends …
