did you know...

...that the average comfort (brand) cab in singapore clocks over 1.5 million km before it is written off? that's around 37 and a half trips around the world (assuming you were driving an imaginary road on the equator.

that's a hell of a lot of kilometers.

back in the saddle

i've realized how much my fitness level has dropped in the past couple of months. not that it was at a high level to begin with, but it WAS on the road to recovery.

with a (food-filled) vacation to japan, jeff and erica visiting singapore on (a food-driven) vacation, and my general laziness, it shouldn't have surprised me how a simple 20km ride today seemed so much tougher than it should be.

time to drop the carbs and sugars again, and revert back to my protein rich (and often boring) diet and exercise routine. for no other reason than to eat more good food with less guilt.

oh, and to get fit of course

missing japan

freedom


for the past 3 weeks, abi has been telling me how much she misses japan.

i am inclined to agree with her.

sigh

a day at the museum

the ORIGINAL reason for going


indiscriminate rock painting


bubbles


i want this


mummy fen making sure ethan has many photos of his childhood


wistful butterfly


christian lacroix (who just went bankrupt)


the men of the ong family


milkshake for nate nate


ethan taking a break


excitement


a week late, but better late than never.

what started off as an opportunity for abi and shea to see the verner panton exhibit at the National Museum of Singapore turned into an all out family fest as we discovered that childrens' week had kicked off the day before at the museum. as we wander down, who should we meet but eugene and ethan, which meant that fen was somewhere close by.

then maye-e shows up, and it becomes a gaggle of children and parents.

who knew that chasing after children and watching them run around, sweat and have fun with each other could be so enjoyable?

i am ready.
