Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Josh is now recovering from his flu and phlegm and I tell you. This time is actually really challenging for all of us. He was tired at 10plus yesterday and slept. At 11pm, due to a large noisy sneeze from my upstairs neighbour, he woke up and started to cry. We took quite awhile for him to settle down as babies do not like to be disturbed in their sleep, moreover he is recovering. We just have to be patient with him and due to that, he was awake till 3am! Can you believe it? I brought him down to Shop and save at 12am and then we went back home. He insisted that he's not sleepy and wanted to go out. We went to the playground, and played there for quite long until Eve and her mom came down. My my. It's really topsy turvy. And I took a bath before I slept. Josh, I really hope you can recover well... Spending time I find that he's feeling kinda insecure at times, since now Meimei is soon due in July. According to our Gynae, it's a normal sign for babies to cling to the mot...

Hey Recently, my son had sore throat that led to slight fever and flu. Due to that, at night, he feels uncomfortable to rest and he would cry even more. This is really quite challenging. Due to this, he clings more to Eve. In fact, we contacted BFSG (Breastfeeding Support Group) and she said that this is very normal as toddlers would regard their mother as the one and only. As I have major roadshow this weekend, this made me feel even more strained because of the reduced sleep that I have. And now, thank god that my MIL is there to help us. I really hope that Josh can recover asap and honestly speaking, health is certainly wealth.. Food Been quite awhile since I have posted some good places to munch. It's at SuShi Tei and wow I tell you their sashimi is very worth it. Love the first bowl and the prawns are very sweet and there is a piece of fat tuna, really awesome!!! Woohoo. This bowl is $18. Ha. The chawanmushi with the salmon roe eggs is another signature dish and I recommend th...

I really am spurred on! Now, my wife is managing Josh Hoe's blog because she finds that it is a good avenue to update Josh's growth. Yeah and in the meantime, I manage my own Mervyn Hoe's blog. Time is ticking so fast. And I just feel that one has to really progress with time too. Josh Josh, last night took a nap at 715pm and woke up at 830pm. This is an anomaly as usually he would take nap at 5plus in the afternoon and wake up at 630pm. From that, he will be awake for 5 to 6 hours. Hence, due to the late nap, he slept at 1 plus, nearly 2. I was really shagged out yesterday because there was no afternoon nap for me as my schedule didn't allowed me and at 1230pm, I cannot control and slept. In the end, Eve accompanied him and made him sleep. I'm really so proud of her to individually take care of him to sleep. Biennale 2011 Oh! We went to Biennale 2011 two days back and we only went to Singapore Art Museum. It's really an eye opener as you can see different artis...

Well Now a days, for weekend, it is only Mervyn Eve Josh time. And I tell you this is certainly a good but of course tiring days to go through because of the time spent on housework, taking care of Josh, cooking and going out. These days, Josh really sees and learns what we do! I did a 'hole' using the Lego and showed him that it can be seen through it. And guess what? He will use it as a peephole. Yea! He enjoys bathing now and now that for water to be poured down from his head, he is fine with it and he will wipe his hand with it too! Very good right? His progression with eating his own food is good because now he is able to control better with his hands and the spoon! Ha. Hence not so much drip on the shirt!! :)

Honestly, I'm really so excited!! I really hope to clear finish my current house ASAP and initially wanting to clear by Jan2014.. But I aim to clear it by Jan2013.. Or even earlier.. Woohoo. Everyday, this is the new driving force to keep me motivated in my career!! Woohoo. Seriously.. Yea. I have seen my house loan interest and that's scary. It's like every month, I'm paying $700 to the bank as interest. This is not what I want for myself. Its like throwing $700 into the drain. Imagine those who extend their house loan to 20 to 25 years.. The interest is even larger!! That's why I advice my clients to quickly pay off their house and it can be their asset fully!! And there is a certificate given to them too!! Can't wait to have mine. Woohoo!!!!!!

Hihi! It has been awhile since I have blogged for myself. Opps. Anyway, I am very glad that now Josh is growing and learning quite a lot.  A few weeks back, he started to eat by himself. Currently, he is able to feed himself without much drips onto his shirt! Great improvement. For his animal liking, yes, it has grown. He knows how to point animals on the story book when we read out the names. Amazing. And recently, there is a wasp nest (harmless) growing on my plant and he spotted it. Coincidentally, there is a wasp picture in the animal book. And he straight away points to the outside window direction. Cool right? Well, I have more pictures on the Awards Night last month, and she is my boss and my wife and I hit the award!! :) So many exciting things to come: =Daughter in July 2011 =Car license =More time for family And of course to work hard!!
