Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

  On 2nd November 2014, I just had my first fun run after so many years! I think the latest one was when I was in the Army Half Marathon, back when I was in Army. I want to thank Tuck Leng for organising this event! And it's really a great get-together for the 4 of us and I feel that we will be participating more fun runs together!     Picture of Siyang, Tuck Leng, me and Lionel  The weather was fine and it's really great feeling to jog for a great cause - To give to Community Chest.  We signed up for the 5km fun run. And we did it! Sprinting at the last 100m, as the loser will treat everyone breakfast. Tuck Leng and I tied at first place, followed by Lionel and Siyang came in last! Boohoo. I have never dashed so fast in my life ever!    There are many hydrating points and we had Pocari Drinks too.   So many getting themselves hydrated even before the run   Look! There are so many people attending! The fun run star...

Children are amazing - They have unlimited strength, will power and great learning attitude to learn new things everyday! I'm just so amazed that every single day, my children are growing mentally and physically! So proud of them. Their display made me feel that we, adults must be even stronger than them! I have learnt about Persistence, Courage and Strong Will from them! 1. Persistence  Josh with the bicycle in August 2014 Recently, Josh managed to cycle on his own! Two months ago, we bought a bicycle, with additional 2 small back wheels, and he was cycling very fine with it. It was only a month back that Eve decided to remove the back wheels as we feel that he is ready with just the original bicycle. He was quite taken aback of the removal of the small wheels, and we supported him at the back a few times at the park. He is a cautious boy and he will always make sure that we are holding on to his bicycle when he is cycling.  Josh on his own bicycle!!...

Recently I was recalled back to the Army for mobilization briefing and I have the déjà vu feeling, as if I'm back as my good old recruit days once again. When I donned on the uniform, it just brought so many memories. From my Basic Military Training (BMT), to Officer Cadet School (OCS) and to my army unit.  BMT I can remember vividly that for the first day of BMT, I was unable to finish the cookhouse food. The portion was so huge. After three months of training, the portion is just right or at times, not enough! My appetite for food increased so much during this phase. It was a place whereby I first started to be given responsibility. First huge responsibility of being the Platoon Commander for a week! I wonder why my sergeant chose me out of so many people. I had no choice to take on, and learned to shout marching commands, delegate duties and so much more! It's a great testing and learning ground for young men. I can vividly remember the final day of my BMT, I ...

Wow. This month has zoomed so fast. Already 17 days have gone! I'm really very glad that I have been meeting up with my clients, up to the extent of around 2-3 a day. I'm so happy to see them progressing in their lives. Some getting their own properties, some getting better paying jobs and some even got married! It's really a life business that I'm in. Very happy about it. Definitely it's tiring, on the good side, I manage to have some new insights from my clients such as deals to go such as tree climbing, online nuts delivery and also countries that they have gone! I'm so happy that my clients trust me and my company. I'm really very thankful for it. Blog Recently there is tremendous spike in the daily views of my blog. It used to be averagely 70-80 views. After I blogged about the horse riding, the daily views maintained at 400-500 views daily! I'm just so amazed by it! Thanks again for reading my blog :) Family These days have been ver...

  On 4th October 2014, we headed to Punggol End to view the Punggol Pier! It's really an exciting journey there because we just want a place to see nature, sea and people fishing! We took Circle Line from Bishan to Serangoon, and changed to the North-East Line to Punggol Terminal. And we took bus 84. After 6 stops, we are there at the Punggol End!  Picture of Kate and I awaiting for Eve and Josh.  We didn't go to the Punggol Pier. Instead, we decided to take a look at the Gallop Stable @ Punggol Ranch.  We were at the waiting area for pony ride!  Look at this stairs! It's the place where we mount onto the pony or horse.  Yes! The horse stable! Beautiful right? The horse is licking something. Not sure what is it.   Guess what are they? They are chalets!! I was so shocked that people checked into these chalets. Cool right?   Look at this cute pony!   We decided to take a try on the horse ride! We paid $10 for a round tri...
