We are never going back to the Cyberport Wisekids Playroom again. I don’t think I can suffer the gaze-averting staff or whatever it is the other regulars think/ try not to think about tantrums. We all work with the hand … Continue reading →

Sharing

Posted on May 17, 2010 by admin

Food

Posted on May 13, 2010 by admin

Come to think of it, here’s a pic of Rockstar at 11 months (note the long suffering, stressed-out expression on Kingston’s face as he frantically tries to start up the next video and the surroundings – we were in the … Continue reading →
