Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Well recently there was a case of a girl being knocked down by a vehicle and subsequent another one. And the sad thing is that there are 18 people who walked past her and NO ONE actually stopped and help the poor kid. I have a two year old myself and it's at their age that they love to talk and walk too. And it pains me that the parents were not there at the spot with her as she was standing beside the road!! How can they?! Even if they are busy, they shouldn't let the child be alone beside the road.. If I were the driver, I may not see the kid as she is wearing black but will stop by if I hit something. When I see the little girl, the thought of the parents pops into my mind.. What are they trying to do? Now that she has gone, it really makes me think what lesson I have learnt from this. I feel that it's the parents responsibility to take good care of the children.. And their safety.

Well Last week is quite a fast week for me. Just feel that I have to really spend both quality time in church, family and work. And that comes about from time management. Josh now knows how to potty train himself and he will even pull down his pants and then urinate into the potty. And all of us are very happy when he shows us. Simply amazing! And quite a few times, without us knowing, he has already pottied and he came and told us!! Amazing boy.. Kate now knows how to laugh with sound!! And she loves to smile when people either sing or talk to her. She is indeed a talker and Eve takes very good care of her, knowing when she is going to potty too.. Yesterday brought my family to Punggol waterpark as they have a firework commencement party there. And I tell you, there are so many people there especially at the 7.30pm mark, as it was advertised on newspaper that this timing is the start of the fireworks. But organiser very clever. They started the fireworks at 8pm and slotted in ...

Josh Wow. Yes he's growing and at times, I would just stare at him and see how much he has grown from the day I saw him born. Now, he is trying to be diaperless and would tell me when he wants to urinate. This is a huge improvement. At night, I would turn the lights off early so as to make him more attuned to earlier sleep timings. Not only that, I want him to have the habit to wake up earlier too, around 8am. Whenever he's at home, he will keep himself occupied with toys and of course seeing what we are doing. Example, when we are cooking, he would want to take a look at what we are chopping and what's on the kitchen table. When Eve is at home, he would want to be breastfed and like Sunday, he just keep wanting the breastmilk every hour until we are going crazy and berserk! Ah!! However when he is not here, he will not ever think that he needs the breast. So there is a dilemma as to whether to place him at my house or his grandma place. Certainly it's quite tax...

I'm totally amazed! With the full opening of the Circle Line in Singapore, it has brought places to be more accessible. This is very amazing. It took us around 30 minutes to reach Botanic Gardens but now, it takes us only 9 minutes! This is really amazing and it actually 'closer' for us to go Botanic Gardens than Bishan Park! Love the Circle line and of course want to thank God for letting us to get our current apartment which is very near the Circle Line! So happy and for my appointments which are in the west, it will be shorter traveling time. Thank you SMRT.

Well today was Saturday and I'm really very glad that my son was able to sleep with me in the living room for two straight nights in a row. Ha. I'm really proud of him. Because we are trying our best to night wean for him and yes, it's getting better and better. And the good news is that he is knocking to bed slightly earlier already! I have been thinking actually. Seeing happy families and seeing happy married couples. Families certainly bring lots of joys and also at tough times. From Eve's grandma, nothing cannot be impossible to be done. Can you believe a 87 year old could say this? I'm totally impressed. She has helped out in small and big ways in our house and it's certainly commendable. Helped us in cooking and washing dishes and also chores like sewing and ironing clothes. She is really helpful and she had 7children. How come it seems like in the past, having many children seemed easy? And now, we simply complain when we have one? And some even don...

Well now that I have been two years plus as a parent, somehow Eve and I will have common thoughts and at times, I even knew what she wants to say or vice versa. Telepathy. Concerts and outings. What a title?! I just attended a loud concert consisting of Jay Chow, Landy Wen and a few other artistes. They are quite inspiring and really, I feel they are talented in their own ways. When I see Landy, I feel that she is a career woman. Ha. When I see Jay Chow, I feel that he is relaxed by showing his music talents and words that I can't quite understand. Yet people love him. I am amazed. I really wonder what will I be if I see Britney. Woo. I'm not such a music enthusiast as compared to the past. Probably rock concerts are not for me now. I really prefer soothing songs and of course if Britney is here, I totally will go because I know her songs! This is the first time I enter a concert without knowing a Single song. That is really attending a concert out of your comfort zone an...

Well These days. I actually have been wondering. The roles that I have to play is really quite tiring at times. And not only I, Eve also feels it at times too. But somehow we have done it for the past two years already. I feel like forming my very own diary and write down my feelings rather than to type. Find it's more personal rather than to type. Typing here is not personal as you may be implicated probably if you type any wrong information or even mention about a company. It's quite serious sometimes because you may comment on some bad points on a company and they may sue you for causing their business to drop indirectly. So probably think twice before you type anything especially in Facebook that everyone is reading. Now I seldom post on Facebook or even post pictures or photos of my family already. It's kinda personal and it's good if I can keep them in my own blog rather than to air them out. So now I will reduce my contact in Facebook already. LJ ----...

One month hiatus! I really can't believe it. I have actually stopped blogging for over a month. Well September has been quite a challenging time for us because we have alot of thoughts for our home. Ideas such as engaging a new helper, becoming raw foodies, thinking ways to escalate my business and also taking good care of Josh and Kate. A new helper ------------------ We feel that there is a strong urge for us to have more home cooked food at home because outside food are really unhealthy and cancer causing. Worse of all, they are more costly. Then came the idea of a helper in our house because she will be able to help us in our cleanliness of the house and to prepare the food we want. However, what is stopping or delaying us is where is she going to sleep? That is a question. Otherwise it's fine. Raw foodies ------------------ I went for a body detox programme at Waterloo street and it's very good. From there, she told me to drink for fluids, and have more green veggies a...
