sheesh. where did the month of may go? one lone entry for the entire month? i think this must have been my lowest batting (blogging) score.

the blogger’s paradox has hit me big time. and it’s a shame because this is one month where so many things have happened and i’ve captured none of them for posterity. yowza.

there was mia’s birthday, which she co-celebrated with 2 of her other girl friends since birth. it was a great get-together of the families we’ve gotten to know because of mia. i baked her birthday cake myself– a three-tier tower or princess lillifee mini cupcakes. thank you for the help, dr oetker.

there was our saturday at the national museum where where we caught ‘monkey-see, monkey-do’ as part of the children season. jan and mia still re-enact some of the spiels to this day…

oh there was the evening where i screamed in shock as jan shaved half of his eyebrows while he was in the shower. my beautiful son! now he looks like yoda’s human half-brother.

there was the day we received jan’s semestral report card. glowing accolades from his form teacher, marks for english and maths that were high enough to put him on “band 1″, or the first tier of students. he flunked his mandarin, though.

oh there was that saturday afternoon when i thought my heart would be permanently lodged in my throat as i navigated the tree top trails at forest adventure, zipping across land and water, with my life totally dependent on two hooks on steel cables. i should have browsed for insurance online. it was fun, yes, but once is enough, thank you very much.

and birthday party after birthday party for the last weekend of may.

i’m sure i missed a lot of little things– shuttling jan to guitar and tae kwon do lessons, mia’s pajama party at the preschool, our new dslr toy, my foiled attempts at job search, my shrek date with jan… and the hundreds of photos that are yet to be downloaded, ack!

it’s been a merry month of may, indeed!
