Limang Taon

Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary to my everdearest wife, Jane. May we continue to grow in love as the years go by and may we cherish each other even more as we journey together, dreaming dreams and achieving them.

May God bless our relationship and our family as a whole. May we always be in the center of His perfect will.

Looking forward to our 50th! I love you, always and forever.

Ashrie and Her Shoes (Part 2)

This is a sequel to Ashrie and her Shoes published last year.  Just a quick update on the new additions to her (or should I say our) ever-growing collection of kid’s footwear.  So far, we have three favorite stores to shop.

First, ZARA Baby. They have the handsomest collection of quality leather shoes. Their pieces are like smaller versions of their collection for women. So your child will gorgeously walk like a little lady.

Second on the list is GAP Kids. They got us with their fuchsia satin-covered flats. Since then we are on the lookout for dainty styles like that. There was even an instance when ordered and reserved a pair because her size is not on stock. Good thing the “black beauty” came in time for her second birthday.

And lastly, Cotton On Kids. Casual style, comfort and unbeatable low prices.

A kid’s growth is inevitable, feet and all, so I’m pretty sure there will be a third edition soon. To end, I will be leaving you with this “funny but true” quote: The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents. ~John J. Plomp

Happy Birthday Singapore!

To our beloved country of residence, our second home, our daughter’s birthplace. A very happy celebration of your 46th National Day! May God continue to prosper this remarkable island nation- the land, its leaders, and its people.

We decorated that DIY cake ourselves. And here is Ashrie singing Happy Birthday while eating the cake. (Sssh! Just between us, she thinks it her birthday every time there’s a cake in the house.)

Indeed we are glad to be here. We © SG!

Got Our iPad 2

I mentioned in my recent post EFC's Photo+Video Competition that we participated in the contest and the winners will be announced during the church's celebration of National Day today. (You may view our entries by clicking on the link.)

Well, we are so blessed to have won the prize and we cannot thank our home church enough for the token.

Thank you Evangel for our iPad 2! And thank God for Evangel!

The Chair

I was helping Ashrie with her pj's one night and she was holding on to a swivel chair. I told her not to lean on the seat because the chair is not stable. Ashrie replied affirmatively, "Yes daddy, the chair is not (a) table!". Oh dear! =)
