#143 A sacrificial wife

Jasmine keeps asking me to take Sarah out, but I know she really wants to do so as well. Instead, she recognizes that I can't quite handle Emma alone yet, so she lets me be the one to take Sarah out for now. Thank you, and Happy Valentine's. One day it'll just be us again. 

#142 Courses

Although there're many downsides to being on course - missing lessons, a lengthier commute, having to socialise etc, on the upside, you get the most pedestrian of breakfasts with no school bell compelling you to scoff your chow down. And if the destination requires you to walk, there's always the chance you'll happen upon a hole-in-the-wall cafe like this one, to satisfy that wanderlust of yours. 

#141 Facebook birthdays

The age of birthday cards seems to be winding to a close. In its place is Facebook's automatic reminders and posts on my wall for all to see. Still, there's always space there for special people to write their special notes. A quick screenshot and I've captured it for sentimental posterity. 

#140 Fake Christmas trees

I hate ants, so real Christmas trees just soundly cut it for me, hence this safer alternative. 

#139 Facebook

I share a lot on Facebook, unabashedly so. But sometimes Facebook gives back, unexpectedly. =]

#138 Baby Bonus

Jasmine and I just found out that the cash gift was raised to $6000 last year, from $4000. Essentially, that ensures the actual delivery is paid for. What a fillip!

#137 Older sisters

Being an older brother, I've always believed older sisters do a better job with their younger kin. I believe Sarah will be an awesome older sister, and that Emma and her will have as strong a bond asJasmine  and Angela's. Instead of sibling rivalry, we will have sibling chivalry.
