You look so fresh despite having to take care of a baby!

Okay why did Rachel agree to marry Frank in the first place?

I love rainy days. My daughter is clinging on tightly to me, much like a baby koala. She must be scared stiff of the pouring rain and rumbling thunder. I can look forward to reaching home earlier than usual because she won’t run away from me like a supercharged Energiser bunny!

Are you familiar with roti canai flatbread? So that’s what this is

It’s actually flatbread

You made me Google the origin. Seems like tissue prata is exclusive to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. So not really Indian haha

The sea looks rough. Do people surf there?

It’s an interesting question you ask.

It made me reflect on my writing habits. Normally, I would use ChatGPT as a proofreading tool after I write an email meant for the entire school staff. I would like to think that my writing style is a tad quirky, yet professional - but I have come to learn that some (narrow-minded) colleagues may not agree. My Vice-principal has emailed me before on my usage of “pain in the ass”. So, I use AI slop, hiding behind a professional facade.

As for SN, I have always found it liberating to just type whatever’s on my mind and receive some sats haha. Loving my Proof of Work here!

But my parents entrusted me to a nanny when I was young. I think they weren’t as entrenched in the parenting trenches as me haha

Nevertheless, thanks for reading and for your comforting words

Thanks for hearing me!

I do know that humour helps in getting stubborn toddlers to do my bidding, but I am not always in the mood to switch my mode of communication haha

New day today. Bringing my six-year-old to a marshmallow team-building challenge. Today will be better!

Thanks again

I feel what will really help me at this stage of my life is when veteran parents share horrendous anecdotes of how horrible their 2-year-old children were instead of reminiscing whimsically about their halycon days.

So, I gave my daughter some chips (before her dinner!) to pacify her so that I could shower her.

Didn’t work. Being impossible as usual.

“冲凉！” I shouted. She started crying. My son looked at me and said, “你也是想哭。 😭 (You also want to cry.)” Definitely not the first time I had expressed this sentiment. He knows my 口头禅 (catchphrase) by heart!

My shouting worked. Managed to shower her. Would have offered her my phone so that she could decompress by watching “Cocomelon”, but it seems that she is riveted in what her elder brother is watching. Which explains why I’m typing this with an ugly frown.

Please don’t tell me that I will miss this period of my life. Just don’t.

P.S: Passed my phone to her in the end. She was apparently waiting for me to finish typing. Smart girl. 👍

Indeed

I think SN made the right move towards being a self-custodial platform, even though it was painful for all of us to pivot. More independence is always good

Thanks mate

60 referrals on SN. I don’t even know how I get them these days since I don’t promote SN on my social media anymore haha

Thanks!

What movie are you watching tonight?

What games do you play?

N yes, he is!

I drink one can of beer every week, so I can delay buying beer for at least a month.

This means I can buy other things with the SATS from SN haha

Six cans of Asahi beer from the wifey.

@Undisciplined might be pleased to know that I will make more responsible grocery choices for my next Bitrefill card hah
