The lone dumpling

All this attention on Josh must surely make my little Sam feel a little left out. So here are some pictures I took of her during Josh's party.

Sometimes, she was in the thick of the birthday action, sometimes she preferred to slink away out back.


Josh even caught up with her and tried to 'sayang' her with a hug!

To infinity...and beyond!

"My name is Buzz Lightyear. I come in peace!"

I shall be hearing a lot of this for the next few months. This is currently Josh's favourite character and we bought him a Buzz toy that talks...5 different phrases, I think.

Now Josh and Buzz are inseparable, which works both ways. We use it to blackmail him once in a while.


This must be the best present he has ever got.

Josh turns 3!

My son, Joshua, turned 3 on Saturday (Oct 1). Yes, it's been 3 years since I first became a father. How time flies.

Had a small do with a couple of other kids. Samantha was there, of course, so was Sonya, Charan and Lilly's kid. Alex, Nancy's kid also dropped by for some cake. I think this is the first time my son knows what a birthday means to him.


It has been hyped up all week, with promises of cakes and ice cream and presents. Balloons have been hanging on the wall for a few days and Joshua has gone into the hyper mode ever since.
