Sunbath day – Sky High

How can your family float together to 150 meters height in Singapore?
Yes, we were there, the biggest balloon in the whole world – the DHL hot air balloon, I cannot tell you how excited we were then, because of my phobia in height, this was actually a leap of faith for me.

The only one who didn’t enjoy was probably Ruth, she wonders why Mummy grasp on to her so tightly?

William ran around the carrier like a little bird, and after we landed, he said: “Papa, we come again, ok?”

What can I say? He has taken away my fear for height.

You can view more photos of my family taking the "flight" here.

Good book of thoughts for your children

The giving tree by Shel Silverstein, the book teaches self sacrifice and the virtue of giving, profound contents with simple words; get it from Borders book store at Wheellock. Not cheap.
Dear Raynor,

Our expenses in this country continues to rise, soon our reliable MRT are going to have another price hike/adjustment, other than give up most of our own entertainment, we may not be able to buy this kind of good books for you in the future any more with our never increase “wages”.

Please forgive our short coming.
