14th of Feb




  • This was the day that most of the guys will have their head banging their head on the wall. They will have to plan for the best place to have their wonderful dinner and also the gift that needed to cheer their girls up.
  • For me, I went to JB on the 13th Feb with my friends and found the flower shops were open and decided to get flowers for my wife as it will be the day. Went around a few shops and saw the about roses. My mind was running up and down thinking which bunch to get for her.


  • In the end I got this bunch of roses, is not much only 3 roses. But thinking of my two princess would fight over it, I decided to get another 2 bear bear for them. It did not cost much as I expected but it was the thought that count. After giving to my wife she was happy over it. That all.


  • Found this car parking at my working place and it was the new Honda City, 1.5L. It was nice and I decided to that a picture of it and also the number plate, see how Wed 4D can get enough to buy one a not. HUAT AH




  • On the 15th day of CNY, the newspaper came out that it will be the fullest moon. I waited for the moon to appear and took a picture of it from my garden. It was sure the roundest and fullest of all.






On the same day, I brought my two princess to Loyang Tua Pek Kong as there will lion dances and they have great fun over there but I was tired. Managed to take a photo of the Fortune God and hope that everyone this Year will be SOON SOON LI LI.

15th Day of Chinese New Year

As a yearly event, the whole family went to Loyang Tua Pek Kong to pray for better this year. The place was crowded and there was a Ge Tai and there were a lot of fav. Hokkien songs and one of the most popular one was a 4 year old girl singing, everyone were giving her ang bao, waw she earn a lot man.
Both Xin Tian and Xin Ying were having a good time there, there were free pop corn, ice cream, soya bean and lots more. Both of them were eating and eating all night. Went for prayer and then waited for the lion dance to come but it was too late, the security officer told us that the lion dance had left earlier. Both of them were a bit up sad over this.
HOPE ALL WISHES WILL COME TRUE AND ALL WILL KANA 4D, TOTO, BIG SWEEP.

I am back again.

It have been a long time that I update my blog. Due to CNY, I was busy with my job and also the family matter, this have left me a little time for me to log on to my lap. The unhappy thing happen was my lap had let me down as it refused to work during the month of Jan. I have to ward him for 4 days before he come back to work for me.









On 02 Jan 2009, Xin Tian started her school in Stamford Primary. These were the pictures of her attending her first day at school. I found out that it was not the students who were anxious to go to school but their parents, i saw parents carrying school bags and water bottles. This scene was the students accompany their parents to school. I was also one of them. My wife was the frog in the well, she was looking up and down the school, where the toilet, canteen, classroom and the general office. She was the busy one and I was bored as Xin Tian had grow up and this time to let her on her own. Xin Tian was lucky enough to have some of her friends from the child care centre to be with her as they are going to the same school. It have been one month and she is doing well in school, but not for me, I have to wake at 6 am everyday to prepare her to go to school.




Before CNY, I was tired to death. Work 7 days a week and from 6 am to 9 pm. So it was the day on 26 Jan 09 that I have my off day, but it turned out to be tired day. Need to drive my wife and children to my releatives' house to pay our respect. Slept at 4 am in the morning and woke up at 8 am. The worse part was that I will be the only driver to drive my wife and her sister back to Malaysia (IPOH). At about 5 pm, all was prepared and I started my 540 km drive to IPOH - pls take note I was the only driver in the car. We did not have any rest and it took about 6 hours for us to reach her house. I was tired and nearly slept when I reached the gate of her house. Stayed there for 4 days but a sad news came on the 3rd day of CNY, my wife's younger sister husband's elder brother passed away. My mother in law was been call upon to help out and she was seen travelling up and down - pls take note Malaysia very big loh. We had some fireworks and also played majong, brought along a mini swimming pool for my two daughters to enjoy themselves (pic above). On the 5th day of CNY, it once again for me to be the driver to drive back to Singapore.
After been back in Singapore, I was work and work again. I hardly have time to take a break. WHY, WHY, WHY ???????
