Where are the Daddy bloggers hiding?

Since 2010, we knew Daddy bloggers (爸爸部落格) are the exquisite rare ones in Singapore. There are so many Mummy bloggers. Along the way, a few Dads pop up over the horizon to stake a foothold in the blogging sphere.

We claim to have different perspectives from the Mums. Actually, Dads are a good excuse for the kids to go outdoor and get dirty (away from homework and housework).
Daddy even came out with the playful Tag “We bring you Fun!” for our blog motto.

The idea caught on, and people came to associate SengkangBabies as Cute, Fun and Adventurous. Our blog name “Sengkang+Babies” is not easily forgotten 🙂

Then, on Monday, a cute Teddy bear appeared on some of the Daddies’ Facebook and Twitter profiles.

On Tuesday, more teddies appear, and “DM” logo appears.

This morning. “Daddy Matters” was born.

Think 11. Band of Brothers, Ocean’s 11, Soccer team, 11 Dads came together to form “Daddy Matters”. We share a common passion in blogging, photography and most importantly, we strive to be good Dads 🙂

Over two days, the idea for a Daddies-grouping was inseminated, the 11 Fathers identified (no Mummy involved), and our baby was delivered. In army lingo, “chop chop” (prompt).

Daddy Winston elaborates why “Daddy Matters” is no shortgun, we are here to stay, and share. Anyway, Daddy Andy is very happy to belong to this group of brothers. We support each other (no bromance ♥), and we always use Kopi as a metaphor for “agree to disagree”.

That Old school Playground Video

Remember our earlier post about uncles Daddies (Andy and Kelvin) and young kids musing about Dragon?

Video : That Dragon (龙) story is ready. We talk about our childhood memories, preserving heritage, making friends at playgrounds etc 🙂
