@satuc Maple syrup, green tea (ito en brand), frozen roti are our must buys. Good quality and cheaper than buying elsewhere.
Everything else is take it or leave it for me.
@LeahJaclyn Not yet! The hard disk containing a back up of the site is (apparently) in a box somewhere amongst the sea of moving boxes that we've packed and half unpacked π¨

@BrianneKohl My (then) 3 year old came home from preschool one day, delighted by his new friend Axe.
One term later, while working on phonetics, he points to the letter M. "Look mum! Like Axe! His name starts with M too!"
The kid's name was Max.

Mr. 5.5: I have a friend! His name is J.
Me: That's great! How'd you guys choose to be friends?
Mr 5.5: Well, he always goes to the same spot in the playground at break time so it's easy to find him. You know everyone wears the same clothes? It's hard to tell who's who.
