A, Baby, C, It's Easy as 1, 2, 3...

Education is the most important tool for anyone. With education comes power and the ability to choose somewhat your own path in life. Lessons however do not end at the end of our formal education as we learn everyday in life. As Albert Einstien stated, "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school".
That is why we decided a few months back to bring Stephanie Tia to a playschool. It is not so much on the learning but the chance for her to mingle around with kids her own age. Mind you, we had no problem at all with the previous babysitter who is excellent by the way, but we felt baby needed this.


Like a fish in water, Stephanie Tia took this expeirence well and adjusted perfectly with her fellow mates and teachers. The playschool that we go to which is called Taska Kanak-Kanak Dharma is an excellent place for kids to learn, play and more importantly obtain values which is to us, the most important thing. Baby really loves her teachers and headmistress who teach with love and when need be, a firm stance which is good.

Stephanie Tia surprises us every day with what she has learned in the school. She can now count to 20, know her ABC's well and remembers the songs that they teach her. Just the other day, she sang Stand by Me and What a Wonderful World! We as parents are honoured that God has chosen us to see this young lady grow up in front of our eyes and we look forward to greater things together.

From Cuddles to Courtside: Baby Steps into the Sports Arena

Image
"Open your eyes, ref!", "Referee kayu !", "That was a foul, ref!" These were the words that involuntarily escaped my mouth as I stood courtside, watching my daughter represent her school in the recent MSSD Petaling Perdana Under-12 Handball tournament. It was her debut in a team sport, and let me tell you, the rollercoaster of emotions was in full swing. With each goal she scored (three in total, to be precise), my pride swelled like an overinflated balloon. But alas, her school's journey came to an end in the group stage, winning one game and losing three.  As the tournament approached, I found myself in an interesting predicament. You see, I knew next to nothing about handball, apart from what I gleaned from sporadic TV viewing, usually during the Olympics. But armed with memories of my father, or as I affectionately call him, Papa, and his tenure as my field hockey coach, I ventured into coaching territory. Hey, sports are sports, right? So, I borro

From Diaper Speedster to Running Superstar: My Baby's Incredible Journey

Image
You won't believe it, but my daughter has discovered her love for running! It's like she was bitten by the running bug, and there's no stopping her now. Who would've thought that running was hiding in our genes all this while? Well, except for Papa, who was a state runner, but let's not digress. Back when she was just a tiny tot, she was already showing signs of being a speed demon. I remember those diaper days when she waddled faster than a speeding bullet, and my wife and I would chase after her like we were in a race against time. Diaper speedster, they should add that to the Olympics! The first hint of her running prowess came during her kindergarten's fun run event. She had to pass the baton to her friend and, boy, did she turn on the turbo boost. She zipped past her classmates like the Flash on a mission. Unfortunately, her teammates couldn't keep up, and they toddled along like slowcoaches. Ah, kindergarten drama, you gotta love it! But it was in Stan

A rose (or a Baby) by any other name would smell just as sweet

Image
The Bard was an exquisite playwright and poet and the famous line of his from his play, Romeo & Juliet states, "A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet" came when Romeo was trying to woo Juliet even though knowing that their families would never agree to their union as they were sworn enemies. In this case, what's in a name? A name can signify kingship as in David, an explorer as in Marco or even a nurse as in Florence. I believe a name is a very important part of anyone. Me and my wife have gone through the vast expanse of baby names to come up with a perfect name for our little madam. Out of the thousands of names possible, what was the one name we decided was perfect for baby. Of course, we prayed and asked God first for His guidance before doing anything and after much thought and discussion, we finally decided... But wait, we will not make it too easy for you readers...sometimes things end perfectly happy and never in endings, that insults anyone..
