Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Of the whole bunch of us, I reckon Hannah probably got the most out of our Club Med Bintan stay. Ling wanted to try out a couple of activities (e.g. trapezing) but was trapped down by Peter who clung onto
Continuing from our last post. For the bits that didn’t work: Our two interconnected rooms were the largest problem. We’d already mentally prepared ourselves for their state through the Tripadvisor reviews prior to our arrival but they were still depressing
Well, what’s our verdict after a five day stay at Club Med Bintan? In a word or two: “it’s complicated”. The summary of it is that the hospitality from Genteel Organizers (GOs) for the most part were as warm and

I did a check on the last time I wrote on sling-type camera straps and realized that it’s been more than 3 years since I last wrote one such, even though these sling straps are a much-needed improvement over the
Most of my Nikon gear got sold off last year, leaving behind only the Sigma 18-250mm – fond memories of carting that all in one focal length wonder through several staycations, Japan, Boston, and Hannah’s first years – whose AF
The 2013 Southeast Asian Haze left us with deeply etched memories, on account that it wasn’t just because the PSI index was hitting hazardous levels at its peak (401 on 21 June!), but we were resigned to have little Peter
