Finally...

I have always wanted my family to watch less television. I guess I want my kids to grow up doing more things like playing, inventing stuff, use more of their imagination and the likes. In addition, we'd be saving on electricity and thus the utilities bill.

But like many families, we often succumb to the lure of the Tube. It provides spontaneous entertainment at a flick of a switch, it allows for tired parents to rest while the kid is watching TV (even though educational videos), it allows a couple to spend time together without actually having to have a conversation with each other (voila!quality time)..and..and..and..

But deep down inside, I wish it was different. I wish we'd communicate more, have fun more, play more, talk more..at least we'd be connecting.

And so..I'm very happy to share that 25th December 07 will be
the last day that we have cable TV. No need to come over to watch
soccer, guys, and no watching movies together on HBO, girls.

But you're very welcome to come over and communicate more, have fun more, play more, talk more..and that's the way I'd like it.
