Happy New Year !

At last, scientific proof that having kids lowers your life expectancy. I've always been having this nagging thought ever since the new addition but was not expecting to be able to prove this ;-)

An exaggeration once you have read the article but it's still fun to read.
We should just show the heading to naughty children to let them know how stressful parenting is.

So I was rather lazy during the recent break, not updating the blog.
But have to admit that these long holidays can sometimes be more tiring than working. But I'm lucky since my mum-in-law was helpful enough to come even during the holidays.

Hopefully I'll get down to actually finishing those "holiday" videos as well so stay tuned :-)

Happy New Year, Beng!

And a happy new year to you too :-)

Saw a number of new blogs from you over the holiday period so guess things must be quieter during this period. Not surprising since most "normal" people would be back home ;-)

Sometimes, it is just not good to complain, even if it is on a blog.

Last night, Jarren had a sudden crying bout in the middle of the night. Not had it for a few months now (used to be colic) so was surprised by the sudden fit of crying. Had to call for reinforcement as well (mum-in-law) at about midnight.

Not sure if this was his response to my blog complaint. Anyway, a timely reminder that we should all just be happy with the things we have in life. And just hope that it doesn't get worse :-)

Hehehe, always be happy with the things we have, but at the same time one should not be afraid to try (as oppose to gamble) for greater happiness (or simply just vent a little about our feelings).

I hope Jarren's feeling better now.
