Showing at a local home cinema
Follow-up to my post the other day about avoiding local cinema theatres.:) The two of us rarely go to the theatres very much anymore aside from the occasional movie that absolutely has to be watched on a large screen. It’s
Music for babies
While driving home from church and Yotei last Sunday, Ling asked if we can get a music playback device. Apparently, babies can start ‘hearing’ from the 5th month, and she believes that the right kind of music will help nurture
