Half-Nester...

Justin went for his first 3-day/2-night school camp last week. This was his FIRST time staying away from home by himself (i.e. without his parents..cos the other 100 kids don't count..ha ha!). As I packed his bag (insect repellent, torchlight, toilet paper, soap, towel etc.), it was a strange feeling knowing that my baby has grown up!!! Seemed like just yesterday..I was still changing his diapers and burping him on my shoulder.. *Haiz*. This parenting experience can be quite an enigma..sometimes can't wait for the kids to grow up and at other times, wish they were small and cute again??? And with Jimmy away in Cannes (France), that boiled down to only Jared and me..Jared was quite happy being left as the "big boss" and "man of the house"..which in his little mind meant that he had the TV remote control all to himself..without having to fight over it with his brother..Ha ha ha!!!

And during this period of absence I also learnt some important lessons with regards driving:

1. Don't drive near tall bushes in the dark

2. There are hidden pillars (or kerbs) in the tall bushes in the dark

3. Don't be too lazy to reverse the car in order to avoid driving near the tall bushes in the dark
