A sales man from one of the dust mite removal machine came to our home today to give a demo. After the demo, we were pressured to buy the machine that costed S$3000. His pitch went something like " don't you feel bad for not providing a cleaning environment for your daughter". Great, using the guilt of parents to sell the product. I grow up without one of these so-called dust mite removal machine and I am perfectly fine with no health problem. So, give me a break....We love our kids and will do what is necessary to protect them. But, I will not stand for sales tactics that make us feel guilty if we do not buy.

The whole family went to the National Day Parade rehearsal yesterday. It was great! The parachutes, fly-pasts and displays by the armed forces were fantastic. Livi enjoyed the firework the most. Truly wonderful experience!
