• Turning into one of them.

    The kiasu parents that can’t wait to let their kids start learning and reading. Ok. It was bothering me for a bit that I wasn’t reading any books or bed time stories or teaching Jerry anything at all for a while. I read books/websites and they all indicated that babies can learn to identify with colors and baby books with sharp contrasts do them good and aid their ability to learn (or something of the sort la).

    hmm.. am feeling a little bored right now while everyone else is downstairs BBQ-ing. decided not to join the crowd cos the indian “strangers” are annoying the hell outta me, intruding into our bbq affair and grabbing food to eat! so much so that i didn’t even get to taste a single stick of that satay cos i was upstairs clearing out my full memory card in order to take more pictures. Grrr.. still, here’s some pictures for the day.
