Playeum

My son has always been an avid Youtube viewer. I know some people frown on kids using any handheld devices. I addressed this in a previous blog .

Back again

It has been a long time since I posted anything. Well, this time, these posts are personal now. Not sure who will end up reading it, but I think I want to document my life and cute's life. Not to forget my beloved wife 😘. But it will not be on social media. Today, I noticed cute's basic football dribbling skill has improved. I keep emphasising to him that foundation skills are important. I hope he remembers this well. Work hard on your footie!!
