Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Yesterday was a great day for my family members. We woke up and ate breakfast that consisted of macaroni, vegetables and miso soup. Then we headed to a maid agency, wanting to find one suitable maid. And we were shocked that the maid we chose wants to think about it. Later we went to Sentosa for Xiaoyun and Sihao's wedding. It's our first time to have a wedding lunch at Amara Sanctuary. The ambience was good and I find that their videos for their gratitude towards their parents were well done, very touching. Jiakai even gave toy eggs and Josh and Kate love it very much. We played outside and even took some pictures. And managed to catch up with some of the CSC friends too.. Later we headed to Siloso beach and we ate fruits on the picnic mat. There is an acrobat station and there are so many people playing it. Josh woke up and we played sand. I can remember how he looked when he first woke up.. His eyes were very big! We played and Eve soaked her legs in the sea. We look...

I love them so much and Kate is really very accommodating to me. Eve is attending a wedding and I'm outside waiting and I walked her around Wheelock shopping centre and ION and she is so quiet and just accompanying me. When I reached the hotel, I just wanted to check her diapers and was soiled. And she didn't even complain. I changed her and she is just so calm to let me change her in the toilet. She is really an angel to our family. Feel blessed to have them!

Torn in between.. Actually I'm given ticket to go to Milan and Zurich this year. However it will be a week trip and this means that I would not be able to accompany my wife and two children. This is something which I do not want. But if I were to bring them, it will be around $10k and if I exclude Josh, it will be around $7k. It's ok actually because factoring myself in, it's like $2.5k per person. It's the experience that we will go through and it's like this month, we have gone to cruise and Taiwan and it's fun to have our family there. But this Switzerland trip, the flight will be quite long, close to 17hours. And it may be quite taxing for the children. Quite puzzled. And there will be a jet lag, which I'm not so keen. I went to Barcelona in 2010, and it's like my body is unable to attune to it and I really feel like there is a sleep debt. Something which I don't fathom about. And if Josh has it, I wonder how it would be. Need some advice...
