My kids love Japanese Food and were thrilled with the fusion cuisine that was served for dinner yesterday.

They had cod fish, steamed mixed vegetables, garlic mash potato, chawamushi and jelly with fruits. It was great seeing them diving into their dinner once it was served. They only took 1/2 the time they normally took to complete dinner and they had extra telly time after dinner.

The meal took me about an hour to prepare and cook and the kids only took about 30 minutes to finish eating it. Dinner with the family was hassle free last night and I didn’t even have to bring out the Chocomisu which I had stored in the fridge to entice the kids to eat.

It’s 2012 and time flashes pass faster then before. There are many things happening this year that weren’t happening last year.

Here are 10 reasons I know that I’m living in 2012.

Your mom sends you birthday greetings via e-mail and Facebook and then texts you to ask you if you have checked your e-mail and Facebook status.
You make appointments and chat with your friends more often on Whatssup then on MSN.
You have a smartphone as there are no new models of phone which come with a keyboard nowadays.
Kids are more interested in interactive games on the IPAD instead of traditional board games.
Most transactions that you do are online and there is no real need to step into a bank or shop.
Google is one of your best friends.
You spend more time sending text messages then actually talking on a phone.
Your toddler/kids are able to remember your hand phone number and all the telephone numbers of the immediate family as everyone has a hand phone.
You use your blog to update friends and relatives about the kids rather then send letters and photos to them.
You are working from home online instead of physically having to go to a workplace.
