I'm going gaga over my Soir De Lune ballet flats I bought myself yesterday! Yes! A Christmas treat... God knows I needed to give myself something this season of giving! Tang & Co was having it at 30% off and with Amex an extra 10%!!! Whooooo hoo...

We're officially without a home. Sold our matrimonial home recently and moved into my parents' place for a month before relocating to Sweden. An apartment that we've been warned against because of its (lack of) proximity to my folks' home. An a...

1st trip to the pool

nobody@vox.com(drake) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:31:32 +0800

We took the little chap for his first dip last Saturday! Early mornings at Keppel's pool are great; hardly anyone.... perfect for Luca's first pool experience. Although Luca did not cry, he was quite whiny and suspicious. We stayed in th...

farewell lunch

nobody@vox.com(drake) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:19:15 +0800

YEA RIGHT. I've never been more ill-prepared for any running event before. But with Dave's frequent travels over the last few months and the preparation for the big move, my 10K run on Sunday's Standard Chartered marathon was tough; the hear...

an ebay purchase gone bad

nobody@vox.com(drake) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:25:26 +0800

I had a terrible ebay experience recently. Been ravaging the net for a preloved cot for Luca for almost a month now. Just a couple of weeks back, I found a Boori Classic Cot with a starting bid of $199 (yes!!! a Boori! who wouldn't grab a Boori...

Wow! I still can't believe it's been 8 months since I've had Luca. They say a baby grows up really fast, especially his first year... but this is toooooo fast! 4 more months and he's gonna be a toddler! Today, this not so small fellow gave me ...

with the tai-tais

nobody@vox.com(drake) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:21:20 +0800

Seems quite unlikely, but some of my good friends now I actually got to know while teaching yoga. Met up for lunch with two of them at The White Rabbit yesterday. The restaurant recides in an old chapel in the Dempsey area and with the high cei...
