Cayen first overnight camp

I think I’m starting to have an inkling on what tough it will be to send my boys off to army in future. Sending him to a 4 night camp was already quite a daunting experience.  I was worried for him on so many fronts. How would he wake up in the morning if he couldn’t hear the alarm?

In Cantonese, I might even call him "Seng Mok" (savvy). For instance , previously , he was spotted sipping lime cordial juice on a plate -he has helped himself at the dispenser without my knowledge . One would have usually told him off but I decided to ask him why he did that. He said that he...

Nose picking

Today Cayen intensify his recent interest in picking his nose. He seemed to think it's rather fun. As usual, nothing we do can stop him, at least until I invented a game/ sound to pinch his nose (for sharpness rather than having a big nostrils) .. The games we need to play ..
