One of Adam's goldfish died today. I got the news when he sent a message to my mother-in-law.
It reads.. "My goldfish died while I was changing the water. It died with its mouth wide open." It was quite a sad moment for me. He is a very sensitive boy. I know he was sad. So I did the best thing I know. I became sincere and told him that I am proud of him being able to take care of the fish for so long. And I told that he is a good boy, I was not there with him, but I hope that those words cheered him up.

This picture shows the two cousins with the cameras. I "sold" Irsyad the EP2. I hope he will make the most use of it.

Adam went down to play soccer with his friends. Tri and Idris went along. He has just finished his exams and I think he deserves the break. I hope his friends turn up.

This is the camera I bought for Adam. Its the Olympus EP1. Its is in a very good condition. I got it for only $80. The lens cost me $190. So this whole set up made me $200 dearer.
I plan to bring him out for a photography session. Soon.

He is checking out the forms for the OKto Cup. He has been doing soccer in his PE lessons and he felt good about it.
One day, he saw the advert on the OKto cup and he wanted to participate. The problem was, he had to gather 6 other persons to participate. His friends finally gave the go-ahead to participate in the OKto cup.
The snag was, the cut off date is tomorrow. He not only have to fill up the form but each individual members have to get the parents approval in writing. He was shocked! He asked if he could be back later tomorrow, with the intention of getting the required signature. And not only that, he had to have photographs of all of his members. Seeing that one of his members is staying all the way in Tampines, I think not. So what I did was to advise him to do his best. Gather the forms on Monday, and we will write an appeal letter to OKto. I think that that is reasonable, seeing that their exams is still going on.

I am so proud seeing his organisational skills at work. I think he will make a great leader one day. Just need a little more focus and a little less overexcitedness...

Was scanning through today's crop of pictures and saw this one. This was taken by Adam in the car, on the way to woodlands. I find this beautiful and poignant. A dreary day indeed.

I got myself a new toy. And with that new toy, I got this image of Adam. That's him prawning. Its about $18 an hour. We got about 5 prawns. The kind people let use have frozen ones to make it to about a kilo.

Brought back to Woodlands and my mother-in-law cooked them with tumeric and potatoes. My nephew loves them. Thanks to Adam who caught them all.

That is Adam and Idris. The calm before the storm if you must know. Because immediately after I took this picture, they start to wrestle. Always the case always will be, the smaller one will always end up on top. Its the big brother showing his love.

I cannot decide which blog to put this in. So i guess, since Adam appears sharper in the picture, then it should be his.

A picture of them playing together. Their expressions, priceless. I actually made an A4 print out for the mum so that she could bring it to the office. I love them so much.

Adam, back from school

Have not update this blog for a while. I guess that's saying alot about the many things I must have missed.
This is a picture of Adam. Sometime next year, he would have had his first taste of a National Examination, the PSLE. Then he will be officially a teenager.
This is him, in his PE attire just back from school. He is with his brother, playing. He loves his brother very much. Every body can see it. And his brother emits such a happy emotions whenever he is back from school. Both of them, and us are extremely lucky.
