Finally, I'm blogging again!

I've been too busy (or lazy) to maintain my blog so it's been almost 2 years since I last blogged (the last entry was Dec 2009!). Lately, I've been posting the silly conversations I have with Alyssa on Facebook and my colleague suggested that I blog the conversations too, which is a good idea. At least I have these blogs if next time they grow up, stop talking to me and quarrel with me instead (you know how kids are in the I-think-I'm-old-enough phase). So, I've revamped my blog - deleted the irrelevant posts, changed the blog design, added a few social plugins - and I'm ready to revive the blog!

For a start, check out Alyssa and Estelle (the new addition to the family)!
