Dress ups, Make Ups of my kids?! The fathers do's and don'ts....
My three kids Ashe (12), Tristan (7) and Jacob (17 months) have been dressed up in many ways over the years. I was pleaseantly surprise by the amount while going thrugh our photo collection. There are some good ones, questionable ones and others, that may come to haunt them at their 21st birthday or wedding dinner. The following are some of my favorites.
Below Ashe as a flower with her cousin Amanda at a kindie end of year concert.
For National day, the kindie allowed kids to dress in national costume. As went as an indian.
Her final kindie concert, Ashe dressed as a bellerina and did some ballroom dancing as well.
Ashe was invited to be a flower girl for my buddy's Norbert and Amy's wedding.
Ashe was also in a Mulan Play dressed as one of the soldiers.

Friday Music - Haircut 100 & Nick Heyward
One of my favorite 80's band Haircut 100 (song "Love Plus One" I still have the 45 vinyl single) which was introduced by my bro Mike. Nick Heyward went solo with his album "North of a Miracle" (emm must get this album again). Great album.

What to Do As A Family! - White Water Rafting
In early 2008, a friend of mine, Aaron called if we would like to go to Kiulu (about one hour drive from KK) over the weekend to visit a building he designed run by nuns to educate and assist the kids and women of Kiulu. The itinerary would include white water rafting and a good barbecue for dinner and had enough for breakfast!
The building had accommodation with hot shower and air conditioning. The Building was built next to the river with a beautiful natural scenery. The constant rumbling of the river was soothing as well. The picture below of the two family by the veranda leading to the rooms.

That night we had some barbecue to load up for excursion on the white waters. Kiulu River is mild with grade I & II's only which was good for children.
The next morning all ready for white water rafting!! Below getting some last minute instructions.
My eldest daughter was then 9 years old and Tristan was 4 years old. Tristan and Ashe are seating between Cinda (my better half) and Lilian (Aaron better half). Ashe would start to cry when were about to hit the rough bits. It got worse after Nathaniel (bottom right) fell in after this picture was taken.
We had a few stops to cool down and rest.
.....and float down the river...
Both families together!!
All in all it was a great experience for all of us. The kids has sworn that they will never go on another raft but I believe its good for them to face their fears. And looking back they did enjoy themselves.
My appreciation to Aaron, Lilian, Crstal, Pearl and Nat for the invitation and the incredible and restful break from KK!!!

Friday Music - Parokya Ni Edgar
One of my favorite filipino bands, great sense of humor (good videos) and good music not unlike (notice the double negatives) Weezers, Cake and The President of the United States. The first is "The ordertaker" and the second song is "Don't Touch My Birdie" (if you need translation click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8XYzf6PuWo and third song "Picha pie" (remake of "I will survive). Must catch them live next time I am in the Phillipines.

What Not To Do As A Father! - Sing YMCA
This happened in 2003 when Ashe (2nd from left) attended a JCI Malaysia Area Sabah Dinner which had a Karaoke competition. Witnessed to this was my borther-in-laws Julz (toilet brush hair) and Jus.
The Karaoke competition worked out well until they called me up to be the guest singer while the judges calculated the points (I was oviously "over qualified" to compete). I decided to sing "YMCA" by the Village People. It was pretty bad but I thought the guests enjoyed. I was worse than this guys!!!
When I went back to the table Ashe was balling her eyes out of embarrassment. So I knew I had something here !!
Friday Music - May 7th
Dedicated to one of the most underachiving football club that I have the honour of supporting. Tottenham made a historical achievement on Wednesday the 5th May (wee hours on the 6th here in KK) when it defeated Man City 1-0 to confirm 4th Spot (not top spot) . The funny things after waking up at 4am to watch the match I miss the goal cos I had to poop!!!
It seem sad that 4th spot seems like winning a cup but it confirms participation of Champions League next year (well at least the qualifiers) but it is an opportunity to earn up to 30 million pounds, and we may still have the opportunity to pip Arse@al for 3rd!!
