Lauren’s Sports Day
I wanna share with you pictures from Lauren’s Sports Day last year. The funny part to look out for is the Egg-And-Spoon race, where Lauren has a hand on her hip, and a deep deep frown when it was her lap to run. Everyone cracked (pun intended) cos it was just TOO FUNNY. But our girl didn’t break concentration and made it all the way there and back slowly but surely.

ERP
This year I start a new schedule of Mummy Taxi. Which mean sending and fetching all 4 kids from 4 different schools. As Pammy exclaimed, how on earth did I escape this duty when she’s been mummy taxi since her kids started school? School bus, m’dear. It’s convenient, fast and we don’t have to cut short whatever we’re doing just to make it somewhere on time. This year though, we want to try and save on bus fare and will see how this pans out for us.
On Monday, I paid 80c in ERP. Few remarks like what kind of car only pay 80c? and you ride motorcycle or what? sure ornot 80c? Whateva. This is ECP to exit at Rochor Rd to get home. Tuesday I paid 50c in ERP. Better still. Via Nicoll Highway down Bt Timah Rd. Today, Megan started at 9am. Blady $2.50 for ERP on Nicoll Highway!! Ack!
I’ve since gone and done my homework and will not pay more than 50c ERP everyday. Here’s the website that will help you do that too.

P.S. Of course I know that if we leave earlier I don’t pay ERP. But whatfor? Unless my kids wanna be in school early. Otherwise, we’d rather spend our time in bed for a few extra minutes. Ok I’D rather not have to wake up. Meep.

HP TouchSmart PC
The holidays were made more interesting for my kids, thanks to Binny from Edelman, who contacted me to ask if our family would like to ‘testdrive’ the HP TouchSmart PC, all thanks to the generous people at HP. Er… abuden?

It’s placed so weirdly cos we have literally run out of desk space in our rooms for any new computers. If you’ve been over, you’ll know what I’m talking about. So I decided to put it in the dining area so that everyone can share and try.

It’s so easy to use! And the screen was big enough for all to play Spore together. That and it was perfect for playing Christmas music while we had our various home parties.
