My Profile


Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog. A little information about me..



I am Mervyn Hoe.

I am a father of 4 with my wife, Eve. They are Josh, 11 and Kate, 9, and Gwen, 7 and Sara, 3.

I am an Assistant Vice President in Manulife Financial Advisers and I love what I am doing. Together with the flexibility of what I get from this career, I am able to spend more time with my children, be it at home or outdoors. I find that it's important to be a father role in their growing up years and to instil as much fun learning, together with Eve.

Being a father for the past 11 years, I can say that it's certainly not easy and you really need to have your wife's support as well as your family members to build the family up. It takes two hands to clap. I would say your children is important. Your wife is even more important in the family.

Apart from being both a father and a consultant, I love to spend time to exercise such as going to gym with Eve, jogging and swimming. Of course, I won't be doing them everyday. 3 times a week will be a very good gauge for myself already. Now, I will schedule myself to wake up at 6 am to jog!

My reason for blogging is to document my everyday life and to keep track of the small and important milestones in my family growth. And I want to spread positivity to those dads out there that you can do it!

I really hope that you can come by my blog regularly and feel free to drop any comments.

Kate's 2! A simple birthday celebration!

Kate turns 2 years old on 11th July 2013! And coincidentally, it's 2 day old for our new born too! We had to celebrate it at Mount Alvenia and it's certainly a fun celebration for Kate, and it's a simple affair too! We didn't manage to cook dinner and we ordered extra meals from the hospital. It's only $8 per set and they provide soup, vegetables and meat, fruits and juice! Really worth it. They only can provide a maximum of 3 meals! Josh ate all his rice and Kate loves the fish! Amazing. Of course, we didn't tell them that we are having birthday cake later. Or else, they will not be eating much of their dinner. Family feast! Love the pork vinegar dish! Oops! Pouring some of our home cooked soup that I prepared for lunch. Luckily we brought because we finished all the soups! Mother and son. Kate is such a loving sister. She pats her new born sister, as she was placed on the trolley which is used for the jaundice UV Machine. ...

Today, it's a fun day, well sort of. Got up and rushed straight to French Embassy for my first french lesson (beginner course). My teacher is Franck. He's a humorous teacher and overall, I find that french is an exquiste language, very special and interesting. I've learnt basic greetings for today. And time really passed very fast after learning. The classmates are of different background and age, and we are all having the same base of french (aka, having no knowledge at all) haa.. Yiwen and I actually wanna go to Orchard. However, we took the wrong side. We took 171 to Bukit Timah area instead! Then we U-turned. I went to Pointers to cut my hair. And it happened that the manager cut my hair. So lucky eh? Not many people would have the chance to actually cut by him, have to make appointment and pay $20. But because he is shorthanded, he came and help out... :@) Then, I rushed to meet Shaun to go to Camp to clear all our stuff. Lucky got him to help me drive fr...
