Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Bathing at home! All thanks to Fangrui and HanChoong! YEah! They lent us the indoor swimming bath tub for babies and I tell you... Josh loves it!! And he enjoys kicking the water and woohoo, you can see the smile on his face! Straight after he has swam, we bathed him and he became hungry! Ha. Its like us...after we swim, we will feel hungry and want to grab something... Yup! However, one thing we find is the water consumption. It is actually quite high to fill up this swimming pool, especially that we have to use warm water for it. Suddenly find that for those indoor warm swimming pool, there is actually lots of maintanence cost to it... Ha... More to come... more to come...

Actually, these days haven't been blogging much. Didn't really know why. Maybe because when I wake up, I attend to Josh. And when outside, I can't be blogging. Then, when I'm back, I attend to Josh... Ha. Time spent on computers has certainly been reduced. And this is actually quite good, so that my eyes are not so tired actually. Baby lessons ------------- We have certainly learnt alot through the books that we have borrowed from the library regarding nurturing of our baby. Such as no biting or beating of babies. And usually we would like to spank lightly on the butts of babies as well as 'fake biting' to babies. This is actually detrimental to them in the long phase because there is a high likelihood that they will become insecure and they will be arrogant and will tend to want to bite people when they grow up.  This is quite shocking though for us. Also, TV for the first year of babies are very bad for their brain development. That is why wheneve

Hello Everyone! Well well, I'm now at the 18th position and I tell you, the competitors above me are quite close to me... AH!  Can't believe that I have actually dropped 4 positions down. This December, time is really ticking for me. I will do my very best to achieve it!

Can you believe it? It has been 2 weeks eversince I have blogged. Find that it is actually quite tight for me to blog.  When I have reached home, all I do is to spend time attending to Josh and computer timings are lower and lower.  Facebook, youtube are a thing of a past for me actually. I used to be spending or rather wasting time on them, engaging in games. But now, no more. Ha. Well, we have decided to forgo our free Korea trip in January because of the cold weather. And also, if we were to go, we'll be bring Josh, and it will be too cold for him... -5 degrees!! My my... he'd be sick.  So that's why.  We have decided to bring him go when he has grown older. Ha.. My my.. for my organisation to write an annual book this year, I must be in top 10 advisers. Otherwise, I won't be able to pen down my story this year.  I really want to write a book actually.  As I find that it is an expression that can be shared with even more people.  I MUST ACHIEVE IT!

Hi Everyone! Ohh.. I have to share with you this! Today, Eve and I went to Prayer meeting at 8pm and I left home at 7.30pm, leaving my parents in law at house taking care of Josh.  Prior to that, I was solely taking care of him and he was crying for 45 minutes!! And I tell you, I was to my wits' end.  I tried to bottle feed him. He drank 1 oz and he began to cry again.  I carried him, trying to soothe him... but unable.. Tried and tried... and at the 44th minute, I decided to bring him out of the corridor and then.... he slept soundly... Wow... I was amazed and I was at the position at my door gate for around 5 minutes, and then proceeded to bring him back to his baby bed. Apparently, this example is caused due to not breastfed full enough. Because prior to that, Eve was preparing to go for appointment and she only fed him for 5 minutes, because usually a feed last from 10-15 minutes. And he was partially full at that time. Due to this half-fullness, he felt not satisfie

Hi Everyone! As you can see, Josh has stronger neck muscles already!! He is able to stabilize his head during his TummyTime and it is truly a happy feat to see.  Can you see the foam at his mouth? Apparently, now for babies, they are unable to control their saliva. It is probably when they become one year old, then they are able to.  So they will foam or drool at times... We have to bring tissue whenever we bring him out! Now, we increased his timing for TummyTime. About 3-5 minutes per session and each day, we do about 4 sessions, increased from 2 sessions per day. For those with kids, do spend some time having your babies on their tummies. It will help greatly in their brain formation and also for their hand-legs coordination!

Hi Everyone Time passes by so fast! Now it is 31st October 2009. What have you done for yourself this year? Looking back from 01Jan2009, well, I have made a few changes! 1. A New House 2. Josh Hoe 3. A full time telemarketer 4. A domestic helper in the house And this is certainly good news because the year haven't end yet! Still have 61 more days and I am so happy that I can do my best to fulfill my goals for this year!! ------------------- My friends Huiling and Jiakai are parents now, having their daughter, RuiEn. I'm really very happy for them because they are pro-breast feeding.  This is really vital for every baby's health as there are many articles stating that babies should be breastfed at least 6 to 12 months old.  Initially, it may be tough, people may tempt you to use formula milk, to discourage you to breast feed. But fret not, Jiakai will be there to support you. As at the end of the day, parents know the best for their child.  Eve and I per

Hi Everyone Well, this career that I'm taking on, surely people say it is not easy. It does, but what I strongly believe in is to work hard. And to keep improving yourself for the better. Some of my collegues actually do very well in this business and for me, clients' needs are still the baseline in my career. Fulfilling them is my top priority. Did door-knocking with my wife and 2 other collegues today and find that it is quite an experience. And of course, there are alot of rejections. This is already a norm for all these 3 years already. Just find that it all involves number game. Out of 100, 30 will open door, and 1 will need our advice. Yup... I have to work harder!

Hi! I'm currently using my new Netbook Asus Eee. And I tell you, I am loving it more and more because of it's light weight as well as the battery life. For my career, it is important that I should need a laptop that has more than 4 hours of battery life. This netbook enables me to have a full 8hours of battery life. I can afford to actually go for around 5-6 appointments with sustaining battery life. This is amazing. However, not everything is perfect. The difference of a netbook and laptop is the speed. It actually takes me slightly longer to load internet webpages as well as the programmes in the computer. I chatted with one of the IT specialists in the company and he said that there is actually no way to actually increase the speed of the running of the computer (even though I have upgraded the ram to 2GB). Anyway, its like that! I'm happy that I have this netbook! Thanks to my wife, Eve...

Hi Everyone! I am really blessed everyday, to be able to reach home and meet my wife and Josh. Find that this is the way life should be, looking forward to home each day, after my appointments. And the feeling of a fulfilling day after meeting up with clients or prospects. Didn't get to blog these days, because I'm in the midst of conversion of my Fujitsu laptop to Asus Eee laptop. Find that I literally take a week before opening up the box of my Asus Eee laptop. Ha... weird right? But maybe it is the latency of me to change to a new laptop. These days, I have been coming home for lunch and dinner and I tell you, the feeling is awesome. To eat homecook food for at least a meal each day brightens my day. And it is actually much healthier. And for Eve, she actually goto noobcook.com to search for recipes and cooked too! Its very delicious!! Ha... Today I ate roast meat rice, and I immediately felt feverish after that. I do not know why! Maybe I'm not accustomed to

Well last night, it is actually quite tiring for me and my wife. It was 12.30am and Josh is very very awake. He cried and he wanted to have milk. So my wife fed him from 12.40 to 1.15am... And I was there, feeling tired because on that every morning, I woke up at 7plus, and didn't take any nap at all. He kept crying the moment he has left the breast. Honestly, it is not good... AH! At 2plus, another cycle came... and we both woke up and AH!!! I'm feeling quite tired... and tmr morning, I also have to wake up at 7plus again (which is not my norm). God, I pray that you will enpower both Eve, Josh and Me... Thanks!

Well well Last week, I have gotten my son Life insurance as well as to cover him full hospital coverage for himself. This is indeed very important that one should have a basic insurance, so as to serve as a safety net for himself. In fact, the full hospital coverage is of my primary concern because should anything were to happen, ALL of his hospital bills will be covered, including his ambulance fees. This is something that not only babies should have... all of us should have too... The primary reason being that I am self-employed and do not actually have much medisave. Thus, it can help me should a need arise.

My family picture of me, my wife and Josh! To tell you the truth, this is actually one of the few pictures of our very own family taken together! And somemore Josh smiles at the camera! Ha... :) Woohoo!

Well! I just attended a wedding ceremony today and I tell you that it is really a blissful feeling to see a couple to finally get wedded. The preparation all ends the very day! Ha... To actually hold a wedding, it is not as simple just by saying the 3 words. The discussion with parents, relatives and hotels... The food selection... The phototakings... The invitation list... Woohoo.. I tell you... it is actually quite memorable.. to think that I held my wedding on 15th March 2008... Really very happy as I got to see alot of my dear friends and relatives... and also to be together with my wife officially on that day too!

My Josh is 5 tonnes!! Look at it!! Haa

Ain't Josh cute?? Ha Find that he is certainly growing very fast and it is good! He is now more than 5kg already. So amazing... Nowadays, I have been eating home cooked food and I feel much more healthier actually. And to think of it, I have certainly reduced the level of MSG intake in my diet because as compared to home cooked food, hawker food has alot of it! Plus OIL... my my. My recent favourite is Golden Pomfret and I tell you.. when you cook it with porridge and pumpkin, WOOHOO! A healthy and wonderful dish... :)

Well well These days, find that I have greater responsibility for my household and also for my son too. Thinking what should I provide for provision for my house, now that I have a maid and that for my parents-in-law, how they come to my house every day to have meals because my mother in law would be helping out to take care of Josh. Everything really is amazing. To think that I started my financial adviser path in 2007... and things have indeed progressed alot of things for me... Had this time line actually... 2007 ------ Started off as a financial adviser 2008 ------ March - Got married with Eve August - Started to hunt for a house in Bishan October - Secured a house 2009 ------ April - Got the keys to the house August - Had a son September - Have a maid for the household Life is always progressing and we should do that... Draw what you want to achieve for yourself and that will actually motivates you to work. I strongly believe that if I can do it, peop

Hi! Who look like who?? Haa... Everyday, I help him to bathe in the morning. And also changing his nappies in the middle of the night too... He is really changing me to sleep whenever I can... Ha..

Well well These 2 days, let me tell you... I am a full time father. Took 100% of my time to take care of Josh. Wow.. its really amazing. I can't believe that time has actually passed by so fast! Once you have a child, your time actually isn't yours anymore. Ha. Spent time with my wife and my son. I also went to Thomson Plaza with my wife and Josh on Saturday to learn how to use the baby strap (from Mum's Baby) and the lady is very nice to actually teach us. Quite a few families stopped by and saw us doing the live demo actually. So funny. I also managed to do my first time collecting his urine in a Yakult bottle. We are trying to introduce him potty training, by looking at his expression and knowing when he will pee/pass motion. When he urined into the Yakult for the first time, its like striking a lottery!! Ha... We will keep whistling and woo hoo... water came down... However, I did quite a few times, but it is to no avail. But no worries, we are still t

Hi Everyone! Time flies so fast. Last weekend, we celebrated one month birthday for Josh Hoe... And I tell you... I am really very touched that it went well. All with my relatives' help! Thank you everyone who came and made this event successful! For more pictures, can go to www.joshhoe.blogspot.com Woohoo...

Just find it amusing... Nowadays, more and more people (my clients) are asking as to whether do I have a car? I merely answered no, because car is a liability after all... If there is really a need for me to take an express transport... a cab is a probable solution actually. However, that really set me to thinking actually. I don't really like to drive because of some particular reason. And that makes me have a step back to learning driving as a skill of my own. Anyway, yup!

AH! I just find that I have to change my outer image... But this will change slowly... first starting with my clothes first. My business wear that is... Find that have been wearing the G2000 shirts... so eww... And my jeans...super old already. NEED TO RENEW... ............ Today is my first day bathing Josh and I tell you it's so exciting... Can't believe from next week onwards I have to bathe him everyday... Everyday in the morning! :) Ok.. it's raining now.. enjoy your day!

Hi Everyone Well well I'm really amazed!! We used to have Avent Manual Pump...then we upgrade to Mendela Electric pump... then now we upgrade to another pump....called Mendela Pump in style. Ha... Its like within a short span of 1 month, we have 3 types of breast pumps...

Woohoo.. presenting.... Josh Hoe...the Pianist! Ha.. this is actually done by my father in law, photoshopped. He is really very creative and I laughed with amazement when I actually see my son with that position... Ha... He is now 4.125kg... gain 1 kg in 3 weeks.. woohoOO

Hi Everyone! I am really very amazed. I went to Jurong (Gul circle) and its quite a polluted place.. having the smell of toxic fumes and dusty air... I really wonder how the people can actually work in such hazardous area.. its really not good for the health. I was only there for 20 minutes, and I can feel the discomfort. AH.. I wonder how does those people who stay there feels... Anyone?? ------------------- I have officially secured a Seoul ticket and will go there with Eve next year. Yea!! Ha... New Zealand ticket didn't manage to get it though.. but its ok... I can get to visit Yoido Full Gospel Church there... Woohoo... ------------------- Next month, I'll be inviting my parents to see me getting a top 25 advisers award!! Yea!!

Well On Monday, caught Final Destination 4 with Hisham. Find that they are not doing that well, as compared to last time actually. But the grossness is still quite ok. Seeing how people are killed and how the cast are trying to go against the invisible force. Give the rating 2/5. Today, I went to my parent's house at sengkang. And I went there actually to ask them about who they want to invite for the full month for Josh. And due to the location mentioned, my dad straight away said no to inviting his relatives side. He find that the timing and location doesn't make any sense. I just find that all these years, he didn't give me any support at all. Really. And that really made me totally numb with it. He disapprove me to go to JC. He disapprove me to join Prudential. He is just a ridiculous dictator. I have given him face to actually asked his opinion about my son's full month anniversary. Anyway, I have decided to arrange on my own, inviting some of my dad

Love this song so much!! This is for the Typhoon at Taiwan... Lyrics are very meaningful...

My son passed motion on me! Ha.. So funny... And he gave me the expression "Do you want more?" Then, I find it weird and saw it... on my couch and on my shirt! My my... Thanks my son! Ha...

Hi! Today I managed to catch my most favourite movie since Primary School... Its called "THE NET" starring Sandra Bullock. I tell you, it is a well-written movie and the story is about a woman, who got her identity stolen and how she managed to get back hers. The interconnectedness of today's world is all by computer. And with just typing one's IC number, every information from health to education to personal bank account can be tracked. And the amazing thing is that the movie is done in 1995! Wow... search youtube... the net by Sandra Bullock! :)

Hi Everyone!! Been quite occupied with baby the moment I come home actually. Find that now, everytime I'm back home, my time is dedicated to Eve and Josh. Ha. Well, its good because it is something to look forward to after a day's work and that seeing Josh sleeping makes me feel peaceful too! Have uploaded some pictures here. The green mattress is actually is crib. He loves to sleep there and its similar to that of the olden days, the hanging crib. :) Doctors say that babies love to sleep in a crib because the surface is not flat, making them feel as if they are still in the womb. He actually cries less often when placed in the crib then on a flat bed actually. Ha.. The above video is actually for my mother-in-law. She is also learning, like me, how to bathe a baby. This footage is actually showing how my confinement lady cleans Josh's head. :) I have to start to learn to bathe him probably on the 3rd week. Because now, his neck is still

Hi Everyone! Well, feel relieved when yesterday Josh went to Polyclinic to check on his Jaundice level. It is even lower now... yea! But exposing him in the morning sun is still required though for faster healing. Find that now, since that he is drinking more breast milk, he urines more frequent and the volume is even more now. Ha. And this means, I have to change him even more frequent... Last night, while carrying him, he farted again... and he passed motion... I actually do not know why. But most of the time when I carry him, he would pass motion. Do I instill pass motion to him? And when I clean him, he would combo twice! Spurting out the motion... The first time, I wasn't prepared and it got onto the bed. This time, I am prepared. I kept doing the 'passing motion sound' and he spurted out the chocolately stuff! Ha.. Still have alot of things to learn though. Eve searched the web about training baby's brain, and it is actually very important during

Hi Everyone!! Never tell you yesterday! Well, I went to ICA to do the passport and I left my wallet at the counter... and it was missing... This is so terrible... but thank god I still had the 2 ICs with me in my pocket.. I mean... I just transit myself from one counter to another.. and it was gone... The person who saw and took my wallet is really an asshole. Pain in the ass! Anyway, I didn't really feel that bad afterall... Find that all these can be replaced. Probably from all these nights, I didn't really rest well, which caused this carelessness... From this, I learnt that all of us should place some cash in other parts of our belongings... for eg in the pants, in the bag.... and not everything in the wallet. Seriously! :) --------------------------- Today went to meet 5 people... Ha. Find so happy... -------------------------- Today I went to KKHospital to visit my dear Josh... and it was feeding time. I brought the breast milk and I'm very ama

On 14th August 2009 8.00pm My wife, Eve started to experience contractions straight after contractions. 10.30pm We went back from our in-laws place and go back to our house. I took a shower and Eve carried on to have contractions, with 5 minutes interval. Initially we thought it may be fake contractions, but this time is different. She feels that she has to go to hospital. 11.10pm We packed our bags and we left for SGH 11.20pm We left house 11.30pm We reached SGH Blk5 Labour ward. 11.40pm We did registration and was warded to the labour ward. 15th August 2009 12.30am I went in to accompany her after the checks by the nurse. Contractions are also very prevalent, with intervals of 4-5minutes. And it gets stronger and stronger. 1.00am Nurse checked and she is 4cm dilated. So happy. 2.00am Nurse checked that she is 7cm dilated. She also added that by the rate of contraction, our baby will be out in 2 hours time... I was so excited. 2.30am We checked a

Hi Friends!! Woohoo!! Guess what?? LITTLE MERVYN IS HERE!!! Ha! My wife is really commendable! She gave birth to Little Mervyn at 0400hours at SGH and everything is natural birth. No epidural, no laughing gas and pain killers. And everything is all thankful to God. He really supervised and gave us lots of strength throughout the entire labour process. Tell you the whole story later... Gotta collect him back to Bishan~~~ Let you see him at one pic... Look like who?? Haa

Hi Let me tell you. Today is the actuall EDD (estimated due date) for my Little Mervyn. And I have been receiving alot of sms about the delivery and news for my son. But... till now, no news. AH! When will you come out to see us, my boy?? Maybe later at night? Tomorrow I will be going to the gynae again and see what the doctor has to say. This tuesday, actually went for a scan and the heart beat of Little Mervyn is very amazing. Pumping and pumping... Ha. Should have record it down and play it online... Ha. Still waiting!

Wow woo I'm so happy. Yesterday, Eve and I and my father-in-law went to SIN FLORA to purchase some plants to decorate our house. The trip was quite sudden because she chanced on the newspaper, stating that there is a 44% discount on all the plants there!! We bought quite alot of plants... Ha. Find that plants really give more life to the house and now that I have a pitcher plant to see when I'm washing the dishes. :) To keep me company. Well well, we thought that yesterday, we can go to hospital for the birth of our baby, in time for NDP. But we didn't have any much contractions last night. So it wasn't the time for our little Mervyn as yet. Ha. But I'm very excited... because it can be any of these days... 9th..10th, 11th, 12th or 13th. Want to share with you guys this. Do you know that nearly 50% of the births are overdue?? Which means they are past 40 weeks? I'm very amazed by this fact actually. Will little Mervyn be in this category?? **wa

Hi!! We have decided... to run for New Zealand ticket! Ha... Yea... No more Korea... but New Zealand!! Jiayou!~~

Hi Everyone Its been a week eversince I have actually blogged. Well, something bad and good happened... My grandma passed on last sunday and it was quite a sudden event as she was hospitalised for over a week before she passed away. And I was there at the hospital on Friday. She has been unwell for the past 1-2 years or so, having a bad wound at her back and she has diabetes, causing the wound difficult to recover and thus, expanding with time. And she was warded to hospital due to fever. For the past 6 months or so, she has not been opening her eyes and has been laying on the bed, just drinking milo from her nose. That's quite a painful sight and whenever I visit her, I would touch her head and say 'Ah ma'... But she didn't budge at all... I'm actually glad that she has passed on because she is 91 and that she has been lying on the bed for over 1 year already. Pain or not pain, we are all unable to know it because she didn'

Hi!! Want to share with you guys that life is like a race, you have to run it for yourself. Know what you want in life for yourself. And you will find it meaningful. If your personal interest is helping people, follow it. If your passion is teaching, just do it! I believe that we are all born for a reason and that is to achieve that has already been laid out in your life. Everything is to have believe in your self. Wife ------- Nowadays, there are more muscle contractions for my wife le. But it is not really that those birth contractions, but they will come! For my baby, now the head is embedded at the lower abdomen, which is normal. :) So exciting! Can't wait... Mer

Hi hi Everyone! This week passes by so fast! Ha! Anyway, today is National Day Parade rehearsal again and there is definitely fireworks! How nice if I can be there to actually watch it... I'm kinda sad that this year, I didn't have the tickets to go even though I have actually ballotted for it. :( Next year, there is a chance! Ha... Have faith and it will be given to you! Went to Orchard yesterday and find that ION is certainly a very nice building... but I have yet to enter the building though. Ha. There are alot of people in Orchard yesterday and seriously, there is no recession in Singapore... REALLY! 3 more weeks to being a Papa! Haa...

Hihi! today is an exciting day!! It is the first time that my wife and I and my baby actually took a family picture together.... This is with the help of Joanna (her cousin in make up) and my father in law! He took pictures of us!! Ha... Below are just two of the pictures!! Will develop and show case to you guys!! Yeah!!! Nice?? Ha.. Me trying very hard to listen to Little Mervyn.... Picture of us and the ultrasound of him... ;) Excited!!

Well well... Am so counting down to my days to becoming a father... ha Find that there are so many hidden things that have to prepare... but quite alot are just thoughts. Because you have to be mentally prepared. Recently, got to know that the confinement lady whom we have engaged is unable to come. Because her son has nose cancer and she has to take care to him. And on the phone, she started to weep. She told us that the medical cost is very high... RM$50,000. Didn't really ask if she bought any insurance for her son. But find that all of us has to get at least one life insurance plan. Otherwise, you are gambling with your life everyday. Then, she arranged for us her primary school friend whom is also a confinement lady. Cool right? Wonder what primary school she attended that inspired so many to become that occupation!! Will update you guys more on the confinement lady.... -------------------- I have a new phone!! It is SAMSUNG JET and the best t

Hihi!! Durians! Make me feel blissful, happy.... I ate the whole box last night... And its my first time eating 'mao shan wang'!! But one thing I found that it is quite lonely to eat alone.. so i called my father-in-law... but he was out at wedding dinner... and eating durian really needs company!! Ha....

Wow wow... Now its July 2009 and I am writing Thank you cards to my clients who have been with me for over 2 years already! I am really very happy and thankful for them to choose me as their financial consultant and their loyalty towards me. Ha... Really appreciate them so much!! And for me, tmr, I will be having another meetup with my gynae again! So excited about it because it is now the 34th week. Can you believe that next month, Mervyn will be a Daddy?? My my... I have lived for 25 years and it will be the next phase of my life starting from next month... 25 years ago, I'm just like a small boy...small baby. Now, I am soon going to be a dad... So by 50 years old, I'm going to be a grandfather?? Ha... Son, you better read it... haa... Find that life is so amazing and that I am enjoying every part of it, even though at times, it is quite tiring. These days, I have been waking up at 4 plus 5 plus, just to make food or massage Eve. And last week, I attended breastfeeding cou

Hi Everyone Well well.. I have been reading pregnancy daddy books and I tell you, it is very informative... especially those chinese ones. For those that are english, I find that they are not so specific and detailed... and for the Chinese magazines, they really take the extra step to explain to you every single motion. Which is good... Jiayou everyone...

Well well Last Sat, went jogging with my JC best friend in the morning... because he came back from Bristol, studying PhD. Wow right?? Ha... The jog was fun and find that I should jog more in the morning or rather allocate more time for personal exercise in my schedule... And on tuesday, I jogged in the evening too... The feeling is very good because you can feel that you are pumping and alive with energy. Ha. Jog my friends... In November, there will be a Charity Run called Run for Hope and I will be joining. And if you are interested, you can let me know.. I can register for ya... and we can jog together... Ha. My my! I am so excited... because as of now, I have managed to secure a Hainan ticket and a Seoul ticket! Wow... I am really very happy! Right now, I am running for my second ticket for Seoul and want to achieve my personal best by end of July!! Yes!! I must, for my family and my baby.... There are some names which we have thought of... 1. Aaden Hoe 2. Davi

Well well I'm now at Kovan Macdonalds and my laptop left about 5 minutes of its lifespan! Ha... Anyway, want to share with you guys. Now, it is actually very comfortable to work in easy careers that are replaceable. Which means, they can be replaced by anyone with any capabilities. In exchange for that, they are feeling comforted, and in their own stressless environment. However, when it comes to pass, when they become older, they will worry because they will think about how they can enable the company to let them stay on. That problem is about retrenchment... Which is a scary thing. That is why, I have chose the other path less taken. Yes, many people told me that it is tough, it is not easy. I agree. We have to accept challenges now when we are young. Otherwise, when we are old, we have to take up or accept the challenges that we can't even handle. (those currently in the comfort zone) What I hope to tell my friends is that at your free time, think about you

Hi Everyone. Well, I'm very happy. Find that facebook is quite amazing though. Through my contacts with my secsch friends, I managed to 'dig' out even more secsch friends that I have lost contact all these years. Yes, have added those not so close and close ones. And all of them are leading their own ways of lives. This is worth commendable. One of my friend is a digital visual producer. Quite a few bankers. Quite a few admin. Some teachers. Some studying. 2 engineers. One mother. The amazing thing is that quite a lot are UNKNOWN. They didn't add their occupation in their list. Hope that through facebook, can really revive those lost contacts. Especially that time, when I was a secondary school student, there is no advent email exchanges. But alot of pager number exchanges. None are handphone exchanges. Ha. Technology really changes alot.

Hi Everyone!! So many posts right?? :) My beautiful wife and I went to Alliance Francise last week to eat lunch. And this place is certainly a great place for eating. No ONE there! And it is a place that brings down to memory lane because it was 8 years back that we took French lessons together and we failed terribly! But it was fun... The place changed alot. With the interior doors changed and very beautiful. This chicken pie is amazing. Melts in your mouth. Her cousin recommended us to take seafood pasta which tastes very good. But we haven't got the chance to try because we reached there too early as lunch meals starts only at 12.30pm. Oh well, there will sure be times we can come by!! Ha. Its been awhile since I take mug shots of myself... :) Will my baby look like me??? BABY! DADDY LOVES YOU! Muaks

Well well I have kinda decided... every day, I have been travelling and been to different parts of Singapore in my scope of work. So to describe life as a Financial Adviser, I call pen my thoughts down... :) Went to national library and Woodlands last week and it is my first time there.

It is made of glass and ce
