Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Ohh!! Currently Josh has diahoerra and it's not really that very serious but we know that he has diahoerra. Hence we decided to bring him to KK hospital for the check up. At 10pm, Eve and I left and guess what, our queue number is 429. We waited for 9 people for the first diagnosis and later, we paid $85.. And we have to wait for the doctor. And we are shocked. There are 100 over people in front of us!! The number is just 320.. We are dumbfounded. I thought that my eyes are playing tricks but no!! My my. We were hungry so we decided to head towards Newton Circus because everywhere in the KK Hospital has closed. We took cab to Newton and there are no healthy food there to grab. Anyway, we decided to have popiah and in the midst of waiting, Josh diahoerra on me!!! Ha. I was calm and we then decided to go back to KK Hospital to change up. We went back and it's 1120pm and there are still 60 people in front of us. We decided to wait and we changed up for Josh. It's quite a surv

Well haven't really gotten much rest these days. Felt that I have to really plan my time wisely for my own work and family. After a day's work, I will perform my role as a dad, taking care of Josh till he sleeps! Ha. Sometimes till 12 plus in the night. Not only that, I have to bring him down to park for walk before he sleeps. And make milk for him to drink. Then after he sleeps, I will be washing the dishes at the sink, his food stuffs and bowls and cups. That may bring to around 1 am. The day will be sustainable once I manage to get an afternoon nap to recharge my energy. Yea. So Josh has indeed made me more organized and think of how to manage my time wiser. Now he speaks more 'words' and we know what he wants and don't wants. Especially when it comes to his milk tin and his favorite bread. Well all these are done with the love for Josh and Eve. Find that at the end of the day, it is all worth it. He can only be growing and be a toddler once. And he will gradual

Opps! Terribly sorry that I didn't manage to update my blog these days. Have been occupied with tasks that I myself find that I don't even have personal time for myself. Yes, Eve is pregnant now and yes, we are going to have our second child!!! A companion for Josh!! Woohoo. Really a god bless to know about this news! Our baby will be due in July 2011!! Wow right?? For this year Cny, it's quite a packed back to back visitation because this year, we opened up our place for steamboat for reunion dinner as well as for CNY day two. Also for that, we have to prepare the food in advance. Of course both of us enjoyed the preparation. The sense of satisfaction comes when everyone is happy after the celebration!! Ha. Mid Feb This year has been moving so fast paced! Don't you find it? Week after week and 2011 has passed by around 48 days!!! I wonder if some of my friends still have the holiday mood? Ha. Josh Well, he is now officially 10kg and I tell you, he knows that he will

Wow! I'm so amazed that over the past year, there are about 2000+ views on my blog. This is really something! Ha... Didn't really expect that there will be viewers for my old time blog. I just finished my jog and it really donned to me that I have to allocate jogging into my life. Because this will keep my mind active and of course, to have a healthier body. Otherwise how can I keep going in my career and taking care of my family? Partially, both my parents have history of diabetes and high blood pressure. So even more I should take care of my health as there is a chance of hereditary passing on of this. Comments --------------- Wow again! When I looked at my blogger account, apparently, there are 2 people who commented on my blog! Woohoo... more to come though! Changes -------------- I will also be putting more pictures for this blog because personally, I am attracted to pictures. And too wordy will actually don't make my blog appetizing! Ha.. And so, yes

Well, this year CNY is hopeful feeling? I am not sure though. I am just looking forward to the Sentosa Flower Fest!! It has stopped for a year or two and I tell you, I have gone there before with my family and it is so BEAUTIFUL!! The crowd is alot of people but who cares!?!  It is so memorable and they market this year as "THE BIGGEST FLOWER FEST EVER"

Hi Everyone I am really shocked to find out that many of my fellow colleagues have bought cars! I am so amazed. Yes, I am really happy for them that they have gotten their new 'toy'. However, deep down, I feel that it is not really a wise thing for them to do. If I were them, I would actually prefer to be thinking of alternatives such as cabs (if there is a need for usage of cars).  What I feel is that cars should not be educated as a need. Somemore it is a negative 'asset'. Why? I have calculated that some of them, their recurrent is probably $3-4k/month and the cost of having a car is about $1.5k (together with petrol and the monthly loan amount). That will make them have a remainder of $1.5k-$2.5k.  How about business cost and other miscellaneous? Hmm, it has come to my concern that a car should be acquired when one has at least 8 x of their income as savings. Then, they should think about getting asset driven things such as property, business, investment.
