Meetup with Catherine/Happy New Year!!!

Catherine sms me on Sunday morning that she is in Singapore, at first i thought she arrive on that day itself, only to realize later that she has arrived the day before which is on Sat. We arrange to meetup at Bugis as she's bringing her kids, niece and nephew there to shop.

Catherine was telling me that when i do the writeup for this, must indicate that the boy in blue is mischievous.

Maybe some of you would like to guess which one is Catherine daughter and which one is her son, hehe... (But no prize for correct answer)

Also, would like to thank :

Recently Akira blog about Bear Lim 2011 calendar, i left a comment in his blog that i am unable to order it.
