New Year Resolution
New Year Resolution: we intend to quit working for DBS Bank! What’s that about? It’s about our home loan we took in September 2006 for our Rivervale home. OK, this is pretty old stuff. We got our home at a
Month: December 2008
More music rollicking
There’s a date each month on the calendar that I look forward to these days. Specifically, it’s the 20th when my subscription on EMusic gets refreshed and I can pick up a few hundred more music pieces. I’ll be pretty
Five or six
One thing the two of us couldn’t agree about the aquarium at home was how many Otocincluses we had in in the tank. I’ve always thought we’ve got five, but Ling believes there’re six! For those of us not in
All children are blessings
My Christmas post! One of the two discussion books our small group has been studying this year is on family. And as these discussions go, a couple of times the issue of having children has come up a few times.
Night photography

Learning to Drive Part 1
Ling took a cue from Ann the other day and blogged about her learning how to drive and also a bunch of driving tips too. So here’s my turn on it. I haven’t done too much checking around, but I’m
