Kinder Garten

Some day, when i'm older..i imagine strange blokes givin mi a call in e middle o' e nite,"Uncle Jonathan, do u still hav pictures of mi when i was a child..yes..those taken at Chinese New Year every year? Can i hav a copy of them in digital format? Why? you see, i'm gettin married soon, n i'd like a slideshow at e weddin dinner of all those growin up moments...wat? 200bucks?!"

Little nephews n nieces runnin around today n grown up tml...inconceivable yet inevitable..Chinese New Year is e time when i look at e kids n how they've grown n progressed in their own lives...also e time i listen to certain elders talk bout their experiences n views on life which are..for want of a better word..enlightenin..though i'd never say dat to their faces of course..

i never knew soya sauce n rice was e secret of Japanese longeveity...or dat politics is such a...rewardin profession dat leaves lastin verbal legacies for ministers...

well, thanks to those who came for my New Year Lunch to day..do hope it was warm n welcomin..if u hav'nt noticed, e atmosphere i wa tryin to create was dat of the fren-li though untidy home ala Badger's house in Wind in the Willows...mayb it worked n mayb it din...but i hope all had a good time dat remains deepli etched for some time..

N yup, i've uploaded some photos of the new year so far...mostly pics of my nephews n nieces though, as 1 can observe...still figurin out dat camera so pray forgive...Oh, and..Happy Chinese New Year..
