My balloon man

A couple of months back, I posted that DW had a great imagination with mega blocks. He has decided to put that imagination to use again, this time round, on balloons!

And he's so darn serious that he's actually signed up for a course on this! I'm expecting many more designs after the course definitely, but meanwhile these are the few which he has done so far. Very impressive for an amateur! So if any of you out there needs a balloon man for free for your kids' parties, you know who to call *wink*

Buying over Borders

The Borders at Parkway is one of JD's favorite playgrounds. There're books, DVDs and cute inanimate objects for her to shop.

As such, it was rather sad when I read that the "mother" in Australia was bankrupt as that could mean that the Singapore branches may jolly well close shop soon enough. So I've been constantly trying to drum this slowly into JD's mind that "Borders is closing soon" so she wouldn't feel so sad IF & when it really happens. However I don't think she has pretty much gotten the idea yet as she usually will follow up with "Borders close, wait, Borders open again". Ahhh, the innocence of a child!

So last night, I gave Dw something to ponder over. I told him why not consider buying over the Borders in Singapore! With his e-specialist knowledge, he can turn around Borders & perhaps built it to be more technologically inclined! Maybe launch an iphone app, create apps on each story, each song (afterall i-tunes aren't available to Singapore credit cards), each dvd, the list goes on... Obviously, the reaction from him was... "and where do you propose I get the funds from, ROLL EYES..."

Oh well, it's okay to dream isn't it!

*ps: anyway I read an article this morning that Singapore Borders ain't affected by the bankruptcy of her "mother" in Australia, let's wait & see.. I AM crossing my fingers X!
