M: Slug and Fei, Our Handyman

The new table drawer from Amazon arrived and Slug got to assembling them. Fei was asleep when Slug started, joining him subsequently.

Good job, Slug and Fei, I'm proud of you boys.

Naturally, Luna laid on the luggage and side-eyed us throughout.

M: The Firstborn Graduates

Time just flashed past. She was just born at Gleneagles Hospital in July 2001, I held her for the first time in my arms. It felt like not too long ago and now she graduates. That's what it feels like to have 23 years fly by, I suppose. I still recall your first recess at Henry Park, sending Jordan home. Picking you up from TKGS, picking you up from ACJC.

It also was very recent, we travelled to London and Bath to find you. It was supposed to be your time with Vincent, we barged into your first long haul holiday but he just have to live with it. haha

Sidenote: Thanks to the wife for planning it.

Back to the Commencement Ceremony, in classic drama style, her shoe strap snapped just before the start of the ceremony. Thankfully, it still held together and she walked the stage like a winner.

Retrieving some old photos of you, I realise that the old saying is true. Time is a invaluable element. Once gone, it's never coming back. I'm thankful for this day, knowing that I still have time with you. I'll cherish every moment, moving forward.

Congratulations, baby.

Sidenote: I don't know why your photo is cropped out but it looks fine when you click in.

M: A Visit to the Durian Farm (Kulai)

We were joined by Yips and Pengs this Sunday to a durian farm in Kulai today. It started off with breakfast at Gelang Patah. I thought that this could be the first pit stop for future road trips, I thought. Coffee and breakfast were decent. It's a slight detour from the NS Highway, about 15 minutes so it's a workable pitstop. (Wee Hoi Kopitiam 惠海咖啡店)

After breakfast, we drove for about 40 minutes to Man Ting Fang for Leicha. I like the taste of it. The restaurant vibes is decent as well.

Next is the highlight of the day, Zhong Cheng Durian Farm. They sold Black Thorns and their specialty, Green Dragon. It is a self walk around the farm, we learnt about durian planting and the turnaround time for durian harvest is about 10 years. The earlier years may not have a matured taste to the durians then.

Since there was no MSW, we drove to a durian stall in Bukit Indah to buy some. Still, Ah Seng is the best.
