16 / 06 / 2013 - Father's Day

It's really Singapore Father's Day - and on this day i was made a father. Both baby and mother is doing well!! They say life after having a child will never be the same. No more freedom, many many late nites, no more romantic dinner with your wife, no more mid-night movie, no more sleeping till the afternoon on the weekend and waking up just to eat lunch and back to the bed and be lazy. And we have not been on a trip for the last 2 years. I fully agree this is life changing!!

BUT when you see the following photo, u must agree is all worth the giving up.

The smile that even after a tiring day, how bad the day might be, how sleepy we might be our son will always be there to melt our heart. He is now 8 months old and is learning to crawl. Every milestone that he crosses is a joy, but is the daily smiles and hugs that he gave to us makes every work day more meaningful. He loves to smile, even to anyone in the lift, he is a cheerful baby, and has been a easy baby for us.

We were never train is this trade (parenthood), as is a on the job kind of thing. Its interesting feeling to be a parent. Hard to explain. On one hand you wish they would learn everything as soon as possible, on the, you wish they remain at the manageable size so that you dont have to worry about them falling down when they start to walk and crawl. You also wish to bring them to all the places like Zoo, oversea, show them the world but you know they wont understand any of that or remember them when they grow older.

I really dont have a aim or topic in mind when im writing this post, just a sudden feeling, and a sudden feel like writing something feeling.

We never knew our baby had learn how to sit on his own, until we were approach by this photo shop on the top floor at West Gate called - FLASH by Morffew 

They approach me and ask if i have heard of their company before, and i said "no" coz i really dont, and was more interested in the baby spa. But at this time my wife came over and say "yes" "yes" - so the salegirls and my wife straight away were in the same female channel and started talking about their service and how nice it would be to take photos of our son.......so our son ended up half naked in the middle of the shopping mall and posting for the camera. But he was happy to keep smiling at the camera for a good 20mins. This was when we found out that he could actually sit by his own.

Our Life have been made more colorful with his invasion. But anyway this post is delegated to my beloved wife who is in the next room, in her dreamland. She has been supportive and handling the baby most of the time when i need to work and study. Thank you so much, weekend bring you go gai gai lah. hahaha

Finally and finally the house is done. Not 100% done, but atleast is in a condition that we can live in. I like my house because it bring wealth to the people around when we first selected the house and also when we took the keys. To chinese like us it a good sign, but im just happy that people around get a little fortune out of my house.


After moving in for about 2 months, my wife presented to me a gift. A new life! A new family member! Yes, i know, i play apart in this new life, but was not to expected to have him/her sooooo soon. Yes, of coz im overjoyed! that is y till now, after 1 month of knowing the news, and settle down, thou i still smile to myself from time to time, im now able to come back to my blog.

Actually, i think i was the first to know that my wife was pregnant. i had a dream one night. In the dream i was carrying a baby, i assume it's a boy as the baby have no hair, (but most baby have not much hair to began with. In the dream there was also 3 other person, both my in laws and my wife.

I must be carrying the baby in a weird or dangerous way, as i saw my in law faces were like they seen something horrible. i remember change from carry to holding the baby hands straight up and make him walk, that was when the in law faces changes. There faces give me the, "what the  hell is he doing to the baby!!" At this time, mummy was busy shopping as usual. the next thing i know i woke up. I told the story to my wife and i told her that i think she is pregnant, then she just "hahaha" and went to bath. As it was not the time of the month yet so she didnt care much about it, and think i was trying to be funny.

My wife went for a short business trip and came home telling me that she miss her, (u know lah), so i told her i knew my dream was truth, which was verified and confirm with a test kit, which is not cheap thou!

This took place like 1 and half months ago, but im still very happy and high.

It's not easy to example this excitement and happiness in words, especially when im not good in language. it like drinking lots of coffee plus lots of sugar, u cant sleep, u keep smiling, u cant do yr work, u start thinking what yr next Gen will look like, how he or she will behave, boy or girl. I still find myself suddenly "stone" and smile to myself, some people caught me doing it, but i cant of dun care.

i lost quite abit of sleep after receiving the news, in fact, quite a few weeks of sleep. I find the whole pregnant thing very amazing! Im not a science student, nor someone interested in how human came about, but im amaze by how a baby is form! i something stop to wonder that this can only be done with the help of God. For someone who have not been to church (a place where i found my wife), for quite sometime, i am truly amaze by what God can do. Truly thankful for the chance to be a father! How to make liquid turn into something so solid? and we are not talking about ICE! Anyway, to deep for me to understand.......now i can only protect the "factory" and our "product"......! 

This blog is not to share how happy im but to share how much i like to thank my wife for willing to have our child. I know it not easy, not that i have gone thru it, but what i can see! My wife stop eating meat, which is not normal, (please dont become vegetarian) im bit prepared for that change! the physical change, the also tired look, the :P""  (vomit) almost everyday (whole day). Sure dont look easy to me.....Salute to my wife! ........Its a new day, its a new life......and im feeling Goooood!!!

10 Weeks Feels like Forever!

 We visit the house when ever our ID inform us that new things are up, so are able to take some progress photos. It seems every slow when you are very eager to see the end product, and it sure feels like forever. Somehow we just feel like "y cant everything just be fix at one go!?", hahaha, then we can move in within 2 weeks. But maybe if they can do it in 2 weeks i might expect them to finish in 2 days. 

Thou we come out with the concept we wanted, but the ID was there to make sure we dont go overboard with our "weird" design or thinking. Somehow, our parents are always thinking that we will doing something silly and weird......my father would think that im going to paint the wall black, and make the place like a cave. Or my In-laws will think that we will buy cheapo dining table that can only sit 2-4 pax and it will wobble.

Sometimes i would think are we really that weird? or issit just that all parents would think their children are alway doing something silly.......maybe it's just our track record......hahaha

I wanted to have a purple wall in the master room, but i think it does not really feel right for my wife. im also fine with pink.....but i think im pushing my luck too far.....wahaha

When we start see these things we know we are see the ending soon! yapee! Glass door up, wardrobe and cabinet start coming in, hopefully there are enough storage space in the house. 

To be continue..........

buy! Buy! BUY!!!

The time have finally come to buying stuff......TV, Blueray player, soundbar, fridge, mircowave, vacuum cleaner, Air-con, washer, dryer, hod and hoob......etc, all done!

So Excited and Happy! Settle so many stuff liao! Thou still have many more stuff to buy!

My Favorite Drink

Buy things in local is still not enough, we flew to bangkok to get more stuff for our house! Bought most of the things from a night market. It's been a long time since we shop like crazy people, from 10am till 12 midnight. We did not plan too much for this trip to Bangkok, so we got lost a few times, but my wife was patience and was there to keep me calm.
