Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Well personally, I feel that there is no need to put nasty comments on issues that are not confirmed yet. I'm just so shocked to see so many worthless and inhumane comments around me. After reading them, yes, they inject a few doubtful thoughts, but still, the underlying truth is that it is not confirmed yet. Eversince I have joined the church, God has blessed me tremendously. Firstly, He has given us a home which we thought we are unable to fund for it. Secondly, He has blessed us with two wonderful and healthy kids and both me and my wife are healthy. Thirdly, our incomes are sufficient for our daily lives too. All these do not come if we had not put our hearts to God. In life, we will definitely face pitfalls but even so, it will let us know that the peak will come after the pitfall is over. I have been in church for coming to 5 years now and I can proudly say that no one has forced me to tithe. No one has forced me to give into building fund as well as offering. Everythin

Well, for those who are not fathers. Maybe you may not know. Actually it's really a name that involves patience and energy. And for the things that I do, I really feel that I have learnt a lot along the process. -making milk powder at 12am -washing the poo -bathing my children -crawling with my children on the floor -changing their clothes while they are moving -running away from them during catching -reading 'three little pigs' twenty times before they sleep -wash the dishes -think of what to cook for their meals -thinking of ways to make them bathe -to think of substitutes when they are hungry -carry your children when they want to be carried -asking them to do the right thing but the reply is 'don't want' -want soy milk after they said they want milk -convincing them to change clothes Some things are not easy. But you have to make things happen. Children are very smart. They know some things are wrong but they just want to do it so as to get

Well, mid of this month, we went to Tioman and its certainly a trip that is so fun and we are always near the sea and sand. The weather is awesome and all of us are very happy. Want to thank my father in law for organising this trip and taking the pictures too. Josh and me, before we dip into the sea Eve, Kate and me. Love the sea and the sky line Family picture My dear children and I on the bridge Love picture by the sunset The waves were so strong when we took this picture Even though it's a short trip of 3 days and 2 nights, it made me think that we should not always coop ourselves in our home country and should venture out. Many people find that bringing children overseas is troublesome. But we would feel it otherwise. And not only we had fun, our children had their first taste of sea water and seeing exotic sea creatures like hermit crab! Kate even wanted to dig it out. Eve and I snorkelling together Josh buttoning up Kate's sh

Wow. Kind of thinking of it. This month has so much change to it. Recently we sacked off our domestic helper(finally). It's after her service of three months, we decided to put an end to it. We find that it has brought so much unhappiness to our family and to a point, it serves more harm than joy. Now, it has been three days and it's really so much happier and I can see the children are feeling so much the same. Less tension felt and even though it's back to us doing more housework, we do not really mind about it. Moreover, the sweeping of floor and washing the dishes is fun too. My part time secretary has also left because she is finding a full time job for herself and it's better for her too. Because she worked for me part time, mind as well find a full time right? And most of the admin now, it's managed by me. Shall blog more about my life. Find that currently, it's so important to spend time at home. Children are growing so fast and whenever I came b

Wow. I had a weird dream these days. Last night, I end off having a dream that I was either in a swimming and soccer team and later transiting myself as a Korean singer. What kind of weird combination?! These three days have been quite hectic for me since Friday and definitely I will do my best to meet more people. Find that when one work, you will have lesser time for my family. Having said that, when I'm back home, I would play and talk to my children and also to Eve. I would read books - currently Goldilocks and the three bears, and Josh will like it so much. And eating with him soba noodles together. Nothing beats going back my own sty and seeing my loved ones. Even if I'm tired, I would not show it to them. Feels fortunate. Now that we have a helper, we shouldn't rely her on taking care of our children. Her main task is still cooking and cleaning the house. Is it worth it? --------------- Why do I say that? Some people said that I married too young and amazed I
