Wednesday is my third favorite day. ( Sunday and Saturdays are first and second, of course). It is a bit different in a sense that we still work on our regular chores and lessons for the day. But a lady comes to help with the chores which makes it lighter for me, giving me […]

A lot of accolades have lavishly showered this zoo and all has sufficed. To us, the Singapore Zoo is definitely the most awesome zoo we have visited. We didn’t feel one bit sorry for these animals… a too common feeling my kids and I get and usually share when we visit other zoos. Vibrant Bea came to a point when she […]

You won’t believe this but we just got our adsl connection. We have applied for this for a long time and it took ages before it got approved. My patience was really stretched with the dial up connection. I have used it since we bought this PC in August last year. But I got disconnected […]
