Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Hi Everyone! How have you been? Its been awhile since I have actually blogged. Here you go! Some insights about what has happened! I had my company awards night and its my first time on stage! And that crowns me top 40 in the entire 3500 Prudential force in Singapore.  This is certainly an award and a night to remember because not only its limelight for me, it is also a chance for me to get an award from Prudential! In 2009, I got 1 award from Prudential. In 2010, I got 2 awards from Prudential. And in 2011... we shall see! Well the first picture is really amazing. Make me feel as if I'm in Manhunt. Ha Second pic is Eve and I! Very happy that she also qualify with me for the dinner. Third group picture is the Financial Consultants from my organisation to hit this award! So happy! This year 2011 is yet another promising year ahead! Yeah!

Some Sabah Pictures to share with you....

Well it's a great Sunday because both Eve and Josh are at home doing cleaning up and tidying of the house!! In the morning, Josh ate his breakfast that consisted of cereal and bread and milk. And of course I'm very pleased that he finished his portion. Later we decided to go and get breakfast at Macdonalds and we also shopped for lunch ingredients. And we cooked our favorite dish which is udon with miso and salmon. We also added vegetables such as cai Xin and beetroot and Josh can also eat them too. Healthy Eh? Find that outside food really is very unhealthy. In the afternoon that is when we swept and mopped the floor. I really can't believe that our house can be so dusty!! I'm not sure about your house, but dust certainly loves to come to our house!! I washed 3 fans and cleaned the table surfaces while my wife did the clearing of the make up table!! And when I was washing the fans, it made me come to realize that Josh can next time help out in cleaning them too!! Wooho...

Hi everyone! I'm back and I'm really very glad to be back in Singapore! Miss the drinking water here and the hygiene and also my lovely home. During the trip, no one fed our dear goldfish and thank god that everything's fine!! Ha. We fed the goldfish the moment we came back. Well, I find that Sabah is a good get-away from Singapore life because it gives us a chance to live back to 70s of Singapore and also the nature walks!! Love them. Highlights 1. We went to the start point of Kota Kinabalu climb and it's so amazing because there is a climber who took 2hrs33min to climb to and fro of this 20th World's tallest mountain!! Can you believe it? Amazing because normally people take 2 days 1 night to climb it. Probably one day we will conquer it. But have to do ample physical training prior to that, of course!! 2. The hotel Stayed at Hotel Eden 54 and it's a homely hotel and the best thing there is free wireless for you to use! Ha. And the hotel staff are friendly an...

Hi! Today is the second day at Sabah and it's really a very fun and relaxing trip to go to!! In the day, we decided to go to handicraft centre and it is walkable distance from our hotel and when we reached there, someone approached us for a boat ride for 30 mins around the island opposite Sabah for 55 Rm. It's a good deal and we took it. We saw the zinc attap houses and apparently they are all Filipinos who are actually illegal immigrants living at the South China Sea. Really amazed to see the architecture there because they are able to build mosque there too! And the children there portray childlike and free to roam attitude! Amazing!! Then we went for a boat ride to see Promiscus monkey, a species of monkey only found in Sabah. They are amazing breed of animals because they eat poisonous leaves and having two stomachs, they are able to sieve out the poison from the food!! And we spotted so many of them. Sadly they are currently endangered. With over 20000 of them in 1980s, no...

Well This is the first time that I have actually gone to western Malaysia- Sabah. The trip is not quite a smooth trip but I can say that my wife has done a very good job in planning and also packing the luggage. Ha. Josh was quite cranky because his sleep was disturbed! From his nap and till dinner and till nap time! I tell you, it's really quite hard to manage. On the plane, he cried for quite long because he wanted to sleep but find it uncomfortable. And the whole plane heard his cries :( Thank god that he managed to sleep for about 20 minutes. Actually for toddlers to be cranky and throw tantrums is very common because they are fearful and we just have to be patient and try ways to see what he wants and thinks. Of course not all the time we give in to his requests, if need be, distract him healthily. Do you know what I mean by that? Ha. Try not to use white lies because if they really find out that it's fake, I think it's not good. Now at 12 plus he is finally asleep and...

Well! Well! Josh is better now and that his pass motion is more fluid. But he must avoid milk now because it will irritate his bowels, and cause diahoerra. Thank god Eve is still breastfeeding him as breast milk will not cause diahoerra! :) so to all mothers: aim for breastfeeding!!! Yesterday on yahoo news that someone actually sold breastmilk ice-cream! Eww. Even though I'm pro breast feeding, the thought of drinking other people's breastmilk is quite a gross thought. Ha. Due to this ice-cream post, we went to Udder icecream shop at Novena. And apparently, I suggested it to Eve. And the amazing thing is that she too has thought of it minutes ago!!! Common thought!! Goal I title this 'Goal' because I want to remind myself the goal that I have set for myself! Yeah! And we should have it planned out from day one. Find that it is very important. For me, I have a tracking system for myself so as to know who to follow up for my clients and also prospects. Find that this way...
