Goodbye 2011

2011-12-31T23:58:00.000+08:00

It's 31st Dec 2011 which marks the end of year 2011. Welcome to the year of the Dragon, 2012. This year has been such a wonderful year for me for many reasons. Thank God for everything, for His guidance and help through this journey of life. December is always my favorite month of the year, mainly because I can go back to my hometown and spend Christmas time together with my family.

Dragon Boat Competition 2011

2011-11-20T23:03:00.001+08:00

Nxt week will be the Singapore River Regatta 2011 aka Dragon Boat competition which is held annually. My company will be sending one team to compete in the corporate category. Our team consist of 10 paddlers. Today I just got my new paddle :) This will be my first experience joining the dragon boat competition after about 7 months of training with my team. I have been assigned to several

PR

2011-11-16T19:40:00.001+08:00

Today I just get the result of my PR application. It was unsuccessful. There is no reason stated. But it's okay. At least I can move on to my next plan after about 4 months on the crossroad just to wait for the outcome. So, what should be next? :) I just changed my phone and got myself a Samsung Galaxy S2. I really like it a lot because the screen is bigger and processing is much faster. I

Preggy Photo

2011-09-11T20:50:00.003+08:00

This is my wife at 14 weeks of pregnancy. The belly is growing bigger and bigger and we think of taking a pregnancy photo from time to time so we can see the progress. This photo is taken inside our room using our NEX 5 camera.. The background is actually just a huge window which was bright during the day. I really like the result and maybe next time I can try another location as well.

My baby is now 11 weeks old and almost fully formed. Another one more week then the first trimester is over. The arm and leg is now visible. At this age, the head is bigger than the body. Heart beat rate is about 150bpm. This is the 3rd follow up with the gynae. Recommended supplement to be taken during this stage is calcium, iron and fish oil which is needed to support the baby early

Orang Utan

2011-08-10T23:01:00.001+08:00

I went to Sepilok, Sandakan Sabah 4 months ago. It was my first time visiting the Orang Utan rehabilitation center. My wife always wanting me to pay a visit to this wonderful place while she was still working there, but due to distance and time constraint, I never had a chance to do so.... As an ex-resident veterinarian there, she knew the place and the people very well, thus made it easier for

A house

2011-08-08T00:59:00.000+08:00

I think a lot lately. Planning on how to make 'life transition' as smooth as possible. I am looking for a window on when to move out to JB. Lotsa things to be considered. Sometimes I just feel like delaying things. But I know deep in my heart, I will be in trouble if I don't prepare. Whether I should buy first or rent is another question to deal with. When I look at the newly develop property

To make past become present....

2011-07-30T00:49:00.001+08:00

This is the view taken from my room window. Not much you can see though other than the MRT track, Seagate company and the HDB flat surrounding. I purposely captured this view so next time it can remind me of the past, the work & life I had in Singapore... This is also serve to remind me that my baby is made in Singapore as well :). I know I will not be staying forever in Singapore, but at least I

Sony Digital Workshop Course

2011-07-25T23:55:00.000+08:00

I attended the workshop last Sunday since my wife cannot make it. It's a complimentary one and I thought why not? who knows I can learn something useful about taking picture :). Overall, the course was very informative. I get to know many features about the camera I am currently using and how to make use of the Aperture, Iso & shutter speed to get the right exposure. I need to teach my wife

Little Heart Beats

2011-07-24T23:29:00.000+08:00

Had a second ultrasound last Saturday. The doctor said our baby is growing fast and everything is fine and healthy. It is now a fetus and has grown from 0.42 cm to 1.08 cm in just two weeks. The doctor showed us the heartbeat and amplify it so we can listen to it. It's very exciting to be able to listen to our baby's heart beat and we can't wait for another check up which will be in a month time

My next plan

2011-07-18T01:39:00.000+08:00

I am planning for my next plan. My baby is coming, means I need a house, I mean the whole house on my own. Not only a house, I should think about who is going to take care of my baby while my wife and I are working. These 2 things are lingering inside my mind. My original plan is to rent a HDB unit here at the cost of 1500-1700 dollars. I tried to contact several agents but they never come back.

First Baby Sneak Peek

2011-07-09T16:23:00.002+08:00

We went to the see the Gynecologist for check up today and the doctor said everything is healthy and schedule another follow up 2 weeks later. By that time he said we should be able to see the heart beat already. The dark spot is the gestational sac with the size about 0.42cm. Still small yet visible :). It's about 5 weeks and 1 day old and the estimate date of delivery is 9 Mac 2012. It was my

Wedding Video

2011-07-09T07:24:00.000+08:00

It's already 7 months after my wedding and yet I still have not receive a copy of my wedding video DVD even after the full payment has been made right after the wedding is over. I really surprise that I can tolerate with this delay. Maybe I am a bit soft on this since I like his work and I try my best to understand his situation with his busy schedule. But the most irritating thing is he keeps

A Date To Remember

2011-07-05T21:36:00.000+08:00

It was 5am in the morning. I was half-awake from the sound of my wife going to the washroom. I wasn't bother as I was very sleepy and the thought of going to work really made me wanting to stay on bed longer. Shortly after that my wife woke me up and pulled me to the bathroom to show me something anxiously. I thought something bad had happened. I was really clueless about what she wanted to show

PR

2011-06-15T01:09:00.003+08:00

I plan to apply for a PR in Singapore for its long term benefits. I downloaded the form one month ago, but up to now I haven't finished filling it. It's not because I am lazy to do so but I hardly find time to do it. Some more it's a bit tedious as a lot of questions need to be answered + providing all the details that I've already forgotten. Applying to become a PR is not that easy nowadays

My new sunglasses

2011-06-05T18:12:00.000+08:00

I bought myself a new sport sunglasses specifically for my paddling activity. I was in the dilemma to choose between the one with hydrophobic feature or without one. I like the latter in terms of color combination and because of the matte coating frame. After quite some time of thoughts and crazy-mixed feelings, eventually I made my choice:

Happenings....

2011-06-04T07:26:00.000+08:00

1. I am tired. Tired of my endless work at office. I don't have enough time for myself. A day seems very fast to end. But I realized, this is something I must accept, something I have to walk through... because this is the path I've chosen. I have no regret. 2. I am trying to balance out my life between work and leisure. I forced myself to make time for gym or running. I joined dragon boat

Things to look forward

2011-03-13T22:26:00.000+08:00

I started running when I was diagnosed with high cholesterol level in 2007. I was so worried about my health and the possibility of getting heart attack. So, I thought that starting doing something about it will help to improve my fitness and health since I almost cannot do anything about my eating habit. I just love to eat, and I want to stay that way. After some time, I realize that running can

Friendship

2011-02-26T12:01:00.001+08:00

The word "Friendship" has a very deep meaning for me. I have many friends everywhere, which most of them are so called a Facebook friends. But the one I called a closed one are just a few, to be exact only 3 of them for the past 29 years I have been living in this world :). There are many differences between my common friends and a true friends. I can be completely honest, true and trust my

My Dad

2011-01-30T01:13:00.000+08:00

January'11 seems to be a tough one for me and my family. My dad has been hospitalized since last Tuesday due to Pneumonia. We pray so that his body will respond well with the treatment and so that he will recover soon. I never thought that he will ever have this illness because he seldom falling sick. It started with a normal flu, but he ignored it. His conditioned worsened and he started to have
