Well Well Make this post a quick one... Today, I went to volunteer myself with my client at Club Rainbow and the event was held at Bottle Tree Park... My first time there... And I tell you, volunteering had always been a great achievement for myself! Its actually been awhile eversince I have volunteered myself, think the latest was in November 2008, where I visited an old folks' home at Tampines... Well, today is really an eye opener and for Club Rainbow, they held this once-a-year event for the families to get together. They actually provide financial help to those families whose children are of certain disabilities and I tell you, after seeing them, I find that the parents are really very brave and strong.... to be able to have smiley faces even though their children are of some disabilities... We must certainly thank god for letting us have a healthy body and that we are able to walk without any assistance.... Really... If you will, do thank your parents too.... AH! And do you

This is my 881st post of my life blogging in mervynhoe.blogspot.com Well, find that staying with my wife in Bishan in our new flat is certainly a dream come true for us. And this is really a blissful home and that we can do whatever things we want! Nowadays, we would cook meals together and they are all healthy meals... And I love them. Just that eating brown rice will make me go hungry easily. Ha... This week, it has been quite a fruitful week for me! Yea!! I have yet to post some of the events that took place in my life last week! Ha... YES! Want to tell this to my whole blog fans! I am going to have a SON!

Hi Everyone.. Haven't been blogging these days... Well, the pictures are from Prudential Dinner Night and had a great time because I managed to see the award winners up on stage... most of the times, can only see their names on the internet... and their production... but its only that night, all of us can see who the person is... haa Next year, I will be on the stage!! Anyway, I have been occupied these few days in cleaning up my new apartment in Bishan and I'm really very thankful that my father-in-law (whom i call 'Pa') is really very helpful. He has helped us in many ways.... 1. drawing out the floor plan 2. accompanying us to get the lighting, furniture 3. helping out to paint and mend the holes 4. assisting us in the re-cabling of the house 5. so much more and his precious time... Ah... its really unconditional love, i tell you... Really feel very honoured to have him as my father-in-law and many a times, I told him to leave the things for me to do, and he just in

Hi Everyone! Yes, I haven't been updating this blog for quite awhile!! Met up with Hisham during a lunch and he's disappointed that I never buy Britney's Circus Album. Ha... Anyway, I am still in the thinking stage... because my laptop CD Driver is spoilt and its like no point because I am unable to play it with my lappie... And i'm touched that I received a few sms from my friends when they saw Britney on TV... 1. From Chloe: Whenever I hear the music, your name pops up! Ha.. 2. From Chris: 2 weeks back, they showed a Britney special on Channel 5, which I was unaware! And Chris smsed me straightaway to catch it... Ha... Find it quite amusing! Don't you think?? Circus track is quite catchy... initially didn't quite like it (Opps) because I find it too fast??? but the below video with lyrics is easy to sing with...v catchy... Enjoy!
