Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Well, on 2nd July 2013 1.45am, we had a false alarm. Eve was vomitting badly and we decided to bring her to the hospital. We called for ambulance and they brought us to KK Hospital. Guess what? We are so shocked when the doctor found out that she was 3cm dilated! Which means she is giving birth! Wow. However the strange thing is that there was not a single sign of contraction. We decided to go to Mount Alvenia Hospital, because we have already decided on this hospital to give birth. Hence, at 2.30am, we went to the delivery suite. Look at the peak readings. It shows contraction readings. However Eve didn't really feel much at all. Then at 2.45am, the contractions came regularly at 4 minutes interval and we were so ready for the delivery. They were consistently 4 minutes contractions. Strangely, at 3am onwards, there was no more signs. We waited and the nurse came to check. She is only 1cm dilated. Everything was fine and normal, and we decided to go back h...

5th Wedding Anniversary of Mervyn and Eve This is a showcase of a video from we first met till now! Enjoy this 3-minute clip!

Honestly, 5 years passed so fast. I could still remember the actual day of the wedding, I kept smiling and shaking hands with so many people. And I am, until now, appreciative of my friends who helped me out that day at Sembawang Park. I would say that within this 5 years, I have changed and trained to do more housework than ever before as well as to cook meals too. Multi tasking and spending quality time with my children and wife are my top priority. And I'm glad to say that I'm fortunate to have my mother-in-law to help me to take care of my Josh and Kate selflessly. When I looked back at the pictures, it's seemed like it was a just a stone throw away from the memories. From Junior college days to University days. From two people to four people. From staying in Sengkang to Bishan. From Sentosa monorail to Sentosa LRT. From wearing specs to LASIK surgery. One thing didn't change: Our height. I really want to thank God for making everything possible and gi...

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!

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...

Children Ha! Yesterday was a well spent day but it was quite taxing on me. But I enjoyed it very much. In the morning, brought Josh to Jacob Ballas at Botanic Gardens and he loves the water feature so much! He heard the water feature and straight away wants to remove his shirt! He has came here before and he enjoyed it then. There is only one Singaporean (me) and the rest are Caucasians. They really let their children free to roam and I bet they are regulars to this beautiful park! We spent about 40 minutes there. Thank God I brought avocado bread for him as he was hungry after the event. We later went to a sand garden and even picked up saga seeds! Around 30 of them. Josh even picked up and place them one by one in the plastic bag!! Work When I came back, I straight away had my lunch and headed for 3 appointments till 7pm.. Was quite hungry then. Wife Rested awhile because I have sore throat and slight fever. This is due to the Old Chang Kee that I have eaten the day...

I really am spurred on! Now, my wife is managing Josh Hoe's blog because she finds that it is a good avenue to update Josh's growth. Yeah and in the meantime, I manage my own Mervyn Hoe's blog. Time is ticking so fast. And I just feel that one has to really progress with time too. Josh Josh, last night took a nap at 715pm and woke up at 830pm. This is an anomaly as usually he would take nap at 5plus in the afternoon and wake up at 630pm. From that, he will be awake for 5 to 6 hours. Hence, due to the late nap, he slept at 1 plus, nearly 2. I was really shagged out yesterday because there was no afternoon nap for me as my schedule didn't allowed me and at 1230pm, I cannot control and slept. In the end, Eve accompanied him and made him sleep. I'm really so proud of her to individually take care of him to sleep. Biennale 2011 Oh! We went to Biennale 2011 two days back and we only went to Singapore Art Museum. It's really an eye opener as you can see different artis...

Well this morning is quite shag for me as when I woke up, it was 8.14 am and I was supposed to meet my secretary at my place. I haven't prepared the stuff I have for her. But she was punctual and she waited for us to get the stuff. Within 5 minutes, it was done. Today is a new experience for us because our neighbor above us are doing major renovation today, tomorrow and 22nd. And I tell you it us very very noisy! Due to that we have to go to Eve's mum place for shelter. We took cab and went there. And there came an impatient lady driver who kept honing us as we are trying to get the cab who is in front of her. It is very obvious that we have a child and we take awhile to get into the cab. Yet, she kept honing. So ridiculous lady. Should have taken her car plate number! Irritating lo. Went to have lunch at her place and bought duck rice and I'm amazed that there are so many people getting the duck rice!! It tasted so yummy and the owner took out the fatty portion of i...
