Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Oh man. It's been awhile eversince I have worked at a roadshow and seeing people closing cases, I would wonder: why not me? Ha. Actually in our line, it's certainly a number game. Law of large numbers. And I feel that it will be rewarding if you can just prospect more. While I'm off to work these few days, my house is managed by my wife, my MIL and helper and Eve done a very good job in delegating and Josh is able to munch alot for his lunch and dinner. I feel a sense of joy deep down in my heart. Yeah. At my work site, I'm just so amazed that there are always so many people coming to food fair, IT fair and book fairs and the crowd is amazing. Ever flowing from the MRT. Rochor Accident -------------------- This morning I watched the recent rochor accident and I'm just thinking why are there people who like to speed? Is it just for the thrill? Or you just want to harm other people's lives? Be it driving luxury cars or not, one should be responsible wh

Well, it certain that a regular hairstylist is more comfortable for myself. I went back to my Supercuts hairstylist, Catherine, and so far, she gives me satisfaction in my hairstyle. And I'm more in tune to Mohawk style and she can cut it very well. Felt quite bad when she asked me who cut my previous hair. I actually patronized a $2.80 haircut and it's an experience, whether it's good or my life is at risk. Ha. Now, I would toggle between my Supercuts hairstylist and another place that I patronize, which cost around $60 per haircut. The latter is actually my client who is the hairdresser and it's not bad too. BFF ------ My boss has set up a pancake shop near Katong 112, called BFF. It's a nice and cozy place and they serve a wide variety of pancakes as well as beverages. Great place to catch up with friends and you should try their pancakes, especially the one with portobello mushroom and tiger prawns!

We head to Singapore Arts festival on Sunday and it's so fun to have the whole family there. And to see Josh walking by himself and discovering things that he sees.

Wow. I was having flu and cough and decided to go to a clinic to get some medicine. And I remembered that I have an employee benefit card and I do not need to pay anything for my check!! During the wait, as I was seated near the counter, I heard the cost the patients have to pay. And guess what is the minimum amount? $49.. The maximum I heard was $69. Every bill is above $45 and the medicine is just flu, cough and sore throat. The cost of medicine in Singapore is indeed high and it certainly pays you so much when you are very healthy. It's certainly very important to have it. Jog Now for the past two days, I have been jogging and I tell you the feeling is very good. And at the stadium, there is very few people and the air is fresh.. I jog a distance of 2.4km. Ha. Slowly but surely, I will increase the distance. Picture of Josh eating his healthy home made pancake by his mum! He loves it so much.. Ha!! Happy face, Josh.. Happy Josh with his pancake

I want to thank God for answering our prayers and also to assist us in our children's mental growth. For Josh, now when he returns from school, he would change his uniform and he also will put on his tshirt and shorts too! In the past, we had to literally chase him to change and he would be upset about it. And for nap time, slowly he is able to rest without using the stroller. In fact, we have kept it already. We do not want to him to be reliant on it already. Kate ----- She is able to descend from the bed by turning and with her body position having the legs on the ground first. This automation is by herself and she did it today!! Wow right?! Ha.. Josh and friend -------------------- The picture below is Josh and his friend, Ji Yu. Everyday they would hold hand to go home. And because she stays near our place, Josh would usually send her home. Yesterday was exceptional. Ji Yu offered to send Josh home first! Classic right?! Children's innocence and pure friendsh

Wow. I seriously have to go and exercise in my daily schedule. Honestly, one should really jog, and it's so important for the physical being. Imagine everyday to just eat, sleep, walk and work. It's not sufficient and it's very important to perspire. Not only that, it helps the hormones in the body too, especially for guys. In fact, it's very important to exercise to prevent ED. Ha, go search if you don't know what is it. Not only that, it allows me to have fewer and shorter naps. Josh ------- Oh well, we have decided that Josh will be mostly taken care by my wife and I. Because we feel that many a times, we have no idea how to control and teach him. For example, after school, he refuses to wear back his home clothes and also during dinner time, we have to feed him, and he won't self feed. These are the two main areas that we have to work on and must really understand him more. Having two children is usually not the cost, which people usually b

It's a well spent day with my family members because in the morning, the four of us headed to the market to shop for groceries. And I bought back alot of fishes, since we are looking for alternative to chicken. Later, we went to the swimming pool and I'm amazed that for the first time, Kate was able to kick in the waters and she simply loved it. Initially we placed her on the toy crocodile float, and she liked it. But after we let her to be in the pool without the float, she preferred it to the float. And when we tried to place her back, she refused! She's such a big girl!! Ha. Josh also played with a big brother and he enjoyed himself. We found that we should bring them often to the pool so as to expose them to the 'open waters'. Then in the evening, we had a steamboat session with my Hoe family and it was fun! The rainy weather made the steamboat favourable and the food that we estimated are almost just right! Woohoo. Hence no food wastage. Josh also ate his
