30 mins for 2 pairs and 3 hours of them loving it and walking around the house with it. I wonder what we should do next.

The girls are both growing up. Its was just like yesterday when they were like tiny fragile things. Now they they can both walk, communicate, laugh, cry… Life is just amazing. Thank God for kids.

Don’t know why but i’ve been thinking alot about death lately. Not so much of the actual dieing, but more of working backwards the amount of life i have left and thinking of how best to spend it. We will all die one day, we all know that, but i think its cool to work backwards and then have a different perspective.

Now i’m asking myself, “how much money do i want in my bank account at 50 years old” and i work backwards to see how i can achieve that. I’m also asking myself, “what would i want to be doing at 50 years old”, but more importantly “how many lives do i want to impact”.

hmm…

btw, i recently joined the Punggol Meadows RC.

During the long weekend we brought Clié and Chloe to skate at East Coast. This was the first time they are skating and i’m quite proud that Clié covered about 3 meters herself.

We started by decking them out in their $7/hr gear and i think they were all quite excited about it.

Clié was slightly afraid at first, but knowing that skating or Lu-Lu as what my grandma usually calls it is classified under having “fun” so she was excited too..

They had to first learn how to fall.

Knees to the ground then palms to the ground.

My dad and i tried holding them, but they kept leaning on us, so we tried to let go and let them try to balance themselves.
