Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Been going to zoo twice this month. In fact, we have bought a family package such that we will have an unlimited number of times for the entry to zoo. Eve Josh and I enjoyed every single trip because we find that through actual interaction for the animals, Josh is able to learn much better as to what is the actual animals are like. He loves the mini waterfalls. Ha. And he enjoyed the water performance by the seal. I personally is also amazed by it. Now our house has two hamsters and they came to our house, they are only 3 weeks old. It has passed two weeks and we are very amazed that they have grown to adult size! Think we have fed them too much. They are actually being given away because the previous owner has 5 hamsters. Josh takes good care of them too. When he is eating apple, we would ask him to give some to hamsters. And he pulled out from his mouth and give to the hamsters!! This is so funny. More to come.

Hi Today Eve and I went to Old Kallang Airport and Merlion to see the Biennale art pieces. It's quite fun as we find that Old Kallang Airport is really old. And it sets the mood of being a white elephant. There are a few art works that are commendable, however some are not sure what they are trying to express. Picture of us waiting for the shuttle bus from Old Kallang Airport to Merlion. This bear picture is well done by a primary school student and it's made just by sketching with a pen! Ain't it good? This is actually a hand woven art piece and initially I have no idea what it has sown, but strangely, when I see it through camera, the words are very obvious!! Marina bay skyline with Eve The Merlion pictures are in another camera and I tell you, the Merlion hotel is really able to let people to stay overnight!! And it's at a cheap rate of $150 and the scenery is superb!! Too bad it's fully booked. Had a fun time today!!

Well in life, you will definitely been compared to someone in one way or another. Otherwise, you compare yourself with other people. Many a times, you will feel that other people are far better than you yourself. But now, I'm 27, I just feel that comparison is good, but you have to know that everyone is different and God has actually made us different so that we have different strengths. When I was in secondary school, I join Art club and yes, it's quite degrading compared to those uniformed groups because it's like a 'do nothing' club. I do feel very annoyed at times but who cares, Coz at the end of the day, I have learnt quite a few art skills and made good friends! Now, I'm a married man and when I see other people that don't have children, at times I feel that yes, I may not have much of their 'free' time. But I know that at home, I have a lovely son and wife waiting for me and my time is their time. And I'm very happy about it. At times I ma...

Well, I want to thank God that for the last quarter, I'm the top producer in my organization among 250 people! Yeah. Want to thank my clients who have the faith in me and of course I put in effort in it. And upcoming months, I will do extra hard for my career as I have a family to build. So Mervyn, continue to Jiayou. I have also been promoted to an Executive Financial Consultant and it's really a rewarding post because with this post, I represent top 10% in Prudential. As a dad, of course it's fun to be in. Seeing Josh grow as well as taking care of my pregnant wife is at times taxing, but the efforts are rewarding as I feel that both my son and wife love me very much. This is very important and that makes me even want to work harder in my career because family is the pushing factor. At times, I must allocate time wisely to be a dad as well as an FC. Hence, I must plan time with my wife and to allocate time for home cook meals. We both feel that it is important for us to h...
