Fun in Supermarkets

Hannah had fun in Tesco helping daddy buy groceries. Tesco's smart in providing kid-sized carts.

Hmm, let's see, which brand of milk should I buy?

Joni and Hannah also have enjoyed pushing each other around in a shopping cart in Giant.

Cute in a scarf and sarong

Joni (almost 5 years old) had fun dressing up in a scarf and sarong. Here she is hugging her sister Hannah (3 years old.)

Leroy Anderson's “Typewriter”= c’est magnifique

I received this from a friend:

TO ALL MY MUSIC LOVING FRIENDS WITH LONG MEMORIES~ this may ring a bell! Best performance I've ever seen of ‘Anderson's Typewriter’. This will put a smile on your face.

My daughter Joni couldn’t figure out what the machine that man was using was ^‿^

Of course, she’s too young to have ever seen a typewriter, let alone a manual typewriter!

She belongs to that first generation of people who grew up with affordable video conferencing! I recall when she was about 1 or 2, and she was used to seeing daddy on the computer / TV screen Skyping from the office with mummy... one time I had a video I had shot on the TV and she started waving to the image of me on the TV, trying to interact with me... while she knew I was in the very same room with her!!! ^‿^

Fascinating Mimosa

Mimosa is a weed that can move. It is found in Malaysian fields of grass, for example, in parks. Here is a video of me introducing my children to this fascinating plant. Its Malay name is "semalu" -- from the word "malu" which means "shy" or "shame". The plant appears to be shy because when you touch it, it closes its leaves.

Beautiful Flowering Trees

This morning, when we came to work, we were surprised by all the trees in the Faculty of Engineering parking lot having flowered overnight. It looks like the whole parking lot was decorated for a wedding in pink and white!

Look at this album of mine on Facebook for more photos.

By the way, here's a more recent family photo than what was posted earlier:
