Being flexible and learning to be patient!



Teaching Natalie has now reached 2 gear ...... and I must say she has already gotten into the idea of doing homework at night. Automatically stopping her computer games to sit down with me. Why this is only stage 1 and the easy part. The more difficult one is of course the part where real work is done. I have learnt over the course of these 1.5 weeks the need for extreme patience which leads me to wonder why people cultivate patience through fishing. Er ... guess they experience more results teaching a 4 year old numbers and mathematics. Or at least I learn that.

Saturday was supposed to be "Big Slide" day. Unfortunately Natalie decided otherwise and make Daddy hit booiling point. Putting the entire trip on hold and we end up at Macdonalds instead.

Dinner was at Lot 1 .... where else. But then the 2 gals were in chorus and they sang and shouted together. Creating almost a mini rackus in the food court. Nicole was particularly happy cos she managed to drink in the same manner as her Sister. However, little know to her that the difference is in the contents not the glass.

Nevertheless ... everyone came back hapi. A prelude to our future weekend outings together. Good Day!

Its Father's Day

Well .... its fathers' day. Not that I am really into it but I guess it is to gather. To recount that I have a family now where 2 kids look up to me to solve their problem .... was told to enjoy it while it lasts. To enjoy the fact that they fight over me ..... makes me feel wanted now that my wife is pre-occupied with her pregancy.

It just leads me to think of how much the 2 gals of grown so lets flashback for 2 years.



Even as 2 years ago, Natalie has already begun her role as the tormentor of Nicole. hahahahahaha! But then even as early as 2 years ago .. Nicole has already embarked on her .... cutie pie role.



And Natalie .... the big sister role has already stepped in as she shows her non-chalant attitude in whatever she does. Confident. Strong willed. Focused.

Yes .... they are back!

Well ..... yes they are back. My 2 daughters .... been a long time. The trip plus the self imposed quarantine (still questioning the necessity) and finally they are back here.

Both gals miss us. I miss them too. Nicole in particular missed Daddy alot.

Got to play, teach and have fun with them. But then there are lots of things to do. Schools re-opening soon .... hence the need to engage Natalie at work. Life is gonna get hectic ..... cos real work starts after 11 p.m. when they are asleep. A way to stretch myself further.

But then its a good start. Nothing beats the feeling of having them back here. Permanently!

Good Day! 170609!

Checkup Day for "BIG BABY"! So is it A Girl OR Boy ?!?

Its been a long time.

Its checkup day for BIG BABY once again.
Didnt really notice in the past but Doc Tan seems to tok more and have a greater sense of humour. Maybe it bcos BIG BABY has always been plaguing him with stupid questions.

Anyway no weight gain. But baby is ok.
Interesting day in the sense I was expecting to see my 2 princesses today but .... lets not dwell on this. Contentious issues always exists and inconsistencies prevail in our lives anyway. Life goes on.

Gender of the baby made known to us alreadi. But its gonna to be a secret for now.
While many have their own expectations, somehow i have my own hunch.
End day, it just feels good to have it confirmed.
I prayed for a healthy baby and smooth delivery when I was at Thailand.
Anyone reading this and wanting to know, come Dec 15th, you will.
