Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's

It's my first entry since we welcomed 2009. Time flies. Yet some things never change - I still lazy most of the time... hah!

It hasn't been a wonderful start to the year, really. Health-wise, work-wise. But we did reach one of our most important milestones - Gideon going to Primary One, being a SAINT :-) He's really enjoying school but getting him to be serious about school work is another hurdle we've yet to cross.


The Lunar New Year came and went - all too quickly. This year, we had the Lion Dance troupe from S'pore Poly (Terence's students) visiting our home. The kids of course had a blast! I was more concerned with the lion's "feet" on my white flooring, and the lion's shedding of its "fur" and sequins.

No one struck Toto, no one hit the 4-D but in this economic climate, having a job still, is already a blessing.

We celebrated Valentine's last evening with dinner at Barossa, a new Australian restaurant at the Esplanade. Food was good but the company, as usual, was great. As usual, it was Rena who made it happen :-)
