We were fortunate that this time, my mother-in-law was willing to babysit for us, so that we could attend the launch of WSC Alumni Association launch. Yes, our dear son is blessed with grandmothers who dote him! It had been more than five years since we graduated from NTU. That is more than five years since I did any meaningful volunteering work . I guess family and work take precedence. The turnout was relatively small, considering WSC is the largest student organisation in NTU, other than the Student Union. The number of volunteers over the years should be in thousands. However, it was good to rekindle the bonds with a few friends. The video which showcased the various regular volunteering programmes and subcommittees brought back many memories. It was like Welcome Tea all over again. For those who ain't familiar, Welcome Tea is an annual event where WSC volunteers introduce the club activities to the freshies. This is to let the prospective volunteers understand more before goin...

In the midst of fulfilling our parenting duties, we managed to celebrate dear wife's birthday. Thanks to Mum who agreed to babysit for us. We wanted to have KTV lunch, but that will take too much time. In the end, we had a simple buffet lunch at Straits Cafe, Hotel Rendezvous. Dear wife showing the birthday card. This year, for present, I made a calendar with photos of our little one. Last year, we visited the Quest for Immortality exhibition at the National Museum. This year we visited another exhibition! I think its me, rather than her, who is fond of visiting the museum. :p Pompeii, Life In A Roman Town 79CE exhibition, was held at the galleries from 16 Oct 2010 till 23 Jan 2011. It showcased the lives of people (temples, baths, public buildings, entertainments, houses, etc.) in Pompeii, before the city was destroyed during the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79CE. The exhibition began with the resin casts of the victims found at Pompeii. The ash from the eruption covered the victim...

On the eve of the new year couple of years ago, my wife and I went around the town to capture images from the last hours of the year - à la Eye é City. With the arrival of our baby, my wife was unable to join me this year. And perhaps my invitation was too late, most people had plans, only one friend joined me. What's worse? The day ended early due to the downpour. Nevertheless, we had a good time. We walked a similar route. It all started with lunch at Vivocity, then to Little India, and stopped at Bugis where it started to rain. I continued on my own with indoor photography at Suntec. Please enjoy a few hours of the last 24 hours in 2010 with me... 8.30am, Ya Kun, SAFRA Mount Faber. Nothing like downing two half boiled eggs in light soy sauce for breakfast. Is this a Singapore thingy? 1.25pm, Vivocity. Serenity? Hardly any. Singapore is filled with people, and the population is still growing! 1.30pm, Food Republic . Our friend Stephen set the record for number of times eating 五香...
