Errrrr.... Anxiety??

I'm behaving a little strange, but I can't exactly pinpoint exactly what is not right... take for example, i walked up and down between kitchen n living room 3 times .... to finally remember why exactly did i walk asway from my laptop....

my wife says i seem super hyper tonight with me blabbering non-stop about this and that....hmmmmm is this Anxiety?..

oh yah, by the way, pauline is checking in to her "5 star hotel" tomorrow....
i'll try to post a video recording (if I know how) of our long awaited "long term" special guest once he arrives...

so stay tune to this blog...

On wifey's request...

My wife's complaining that we have only been putting up food pictures, but we did not share any pictures of our house.... :p

ha ha I had thought of doing that only after I take shots of the house in the same angle for that Before n After effect, .. but I guess not... What woman wants, Woman gets.. (applies to my woman only). so here goes



these 2 shots were taken when we came for the house inspection and measurement prior to moving in .



Here's my lame try at the before and after.... at least you see sofa, coffee table, Tv Console, TV, and a pot of plant.... ke ke ke... so any comments?

Happy Father's Day

To all the father's in the world, Happy Father's day!...

Today for the first time... I feel ... left out. Nobody from my family is online, and no one told me where they are going for dinner... .hmmm.. .. no doubt, i am in tokyo.. .. but that doesn't mean I can't know what they will be eating .... somehow just knowing where my family is going and what they will be eating, makes me feel like I am sharing in that same meal too...

Weird sort of feeling to be left out.... guess, I have taken the frequent family dinner gatherings for granted as well... ...

Just sent a sms to my Dad : 老爸， 父亲节快乐！ .... and got a reply from him: 你们也快乐。
.. now i don't feel so "empty" ...

That also reminds me... 4 more days for myself to be a dad!

You only appreciate ....

what you have when you lose it... Finally experiencing the full effect of those words while having dinner with my wife earlier... Both of us swallowing down our rice and the yummy curry chicken my wife made.

Another realisation ... only after we've moved up to japan, we have been cooking quite a few singapore dishes for the first time in our lives...

Both of us can cook, but we have never really bother to cook Bak Kut Teh, Curry chicken, stew chicken, garlic stir fried prawns... Thinking back, I guess we've always taken for granted that we can always just walk out to anywhere in singapore and just order it...

It has never cross my mind that we will one day crave for all these mouth-watering dishes and not be able to "just walk out and have them"

So What else have I taken for granted all this time ?

I can only hope that I will be more aware and appreciative of all the simple little things in my life going forward....

I guess i'll start with appreciating my wife and our soon to be delivered son!

.... have you been taking ppl or simple things around you for granted ?? :)

Thanks Wendy!!

A lazy sunday, gloomy and raining, we decided to just stay at home and just be couch-potatoes...

The front gate buzzer got me off my butt to answer to the postman .... Parcel delivery on a rainy Sunday?!! Singapore Postal office services,... you should feel ashame ...

Looking at the stamps, parcel from Singapore?..
hmmmm ... and then I remembered pauline mentioned that Wendy has sent a parcel a few days before...

$42.85 for postage.?! ouch...

but after we open the parcel.. we forgot about the postage cost...

REALLY,.. you shouldn't have.. but we both love you for being so sweet...

a big THANK YOU!!! ..

Counting Blessings...

I hope I dun use up my blessings.... just suddenly realise that I have been having a streak of blessings since last Nov..

New job offer; Relocation; a miracle Pregnancy; be an expat in my own country; sold my HDB at all time high; get married; smooth relocation; my wife having a fairly symptom-less pregnancy; Able to Find a hospital for delivery; finding a great apartment for our new home; and getting promoted ...

I really hope I still have more blessings to use till my ripe old age...
To elaborate on the string of events listed above will probably be like writing an essay, but I guess I am truly grateful to all the good friends both mine and pauline's, that have helped, encouraged and having us as their friends :)

The Weather is wierd these few days... its summer but temperature is 14 - 17 degrees today ...
