This is so amazingly stunning.

As the guys at WahLiao Photography said, you got to see this.

Thanks guys. Made my day :)

Why I Love Kids

I saw this here. Lots of other nice things there, but this really, really made my day.

You know, the little boy is starting to get a little playful and mischievous. I'm terrified of the day he starts playing pranks on me.

And some part of me wishes he always will.

Vacation Bible School 2009 (Coming Soon!)

My church is holding the Vacation Bible School (we just call it VBS) in June (oh how I love the month of June), and here are the details:

The Monday Faithful: The Early Edition (and Thank You)

Right, I'm early for once.

I wanted to take some time to thank you guys for following this blog. The last time I did was a pretty long time ago.

So, if I haven't thanked you - mostly because you only started more recently to follow the family on the interwebs - let me take this chance right here to do so: thank you, for your support, kind words, emails, messages, conversations, and most of all, your company.

This blog is here because we want to keep you close, and you guys know how important you have been to this couplehood journey.

That's it for today, really. I'll give you an update again sometime during the week.

See you then. :)

The Monday Faithful: Just A Little Post This Week.

Rather Delicious

I'm Writing This, On My iPhone

I'm on my way back from work in a taxi from Queenstown. I couldn't resist making sure I came back with Singapore's finest Char Kway Teow, as some of my buddies would insist. It's filling up the taxi with an oily, delicious smell. I've chosen to spare the taxi driver from the noxious vapours of lard and garlic by winding down the rear windows. I'm sure he's thankful.

Headaches

Okay, confession. I've been totally swamped with work over the weekend, and it came to the point where I just didn't feel up to it any more. I basically collapsed and blacked out from a blinding headache over the weekend. I'm better now, though, but I admit the headaches are starting to get on my nerves.

Speaking of headaches, the work's still staring me in the face. Fortunately for me, I'm in a much better headspace to make it all work.

Rosy Rosy Rashes

The little boy is recovering from a bout of rashy rashiness. We think it's either the oats or the chicken, but we are starting to think that the blended pork might have something to do with it too. We're keeping a lookout and being very, very careful, because once his tummy gets inflammed, it's all back to square one.

Taking Care of Me

The lady's incredibly understanding the past few days, making it easy me for to take a breather here and there. I know taking care of the boy while I'm busy is hard work. There are quite a few things to monitor and I'm sure she could do with whatever help I can spare her. She's lost quite a bit of weight running around and getting stuff done, which makes me worry a little, and feel a little envious, because when I'm getting stuff done, I put on weight.

Okay, I'm all out for the day. I've got loads to do and I need to catch up. Be back later in the week.

Someday, He'll Hate Me For This

I'm rather certain, yup.

Monday Faithful: Where Did It Go?

[okay, edit's finally in. It's Wednesday, I know. I'd blame technology - but I guess I won't. I was having my first headache-free evening in a week. Bleh.]

The Weekends
It was a good weekend of slowing down, as blogger David Bohl once told me about. I spent a good time doing my reading homework, and I'm about 90% through this HUMONGOUS fiction epic by Ayn Rand, called "Atlas Shrugged" (you probably heard of it). It's an eye-watering 1200 pages long (it's about 80,000 when converted to the eBook) but it's proving to be an interesting read. Apparently, very timely too.

Parenthood
I discovered, by process of a discreet survey, that apart from a buddy of mine (who should be equally proud to know as he reads this) I number among a rare breed of Dads who know how to clean up after a baby's poo-poo. To the uninitiated, this process requires:

1. 2 - 3 wet wipes (depending on skill level, less will be needed),
   
2. Diaper cream (About a 5cent coin of Desitin works for me)
   
3. A new diaper (Preferably)
4. Possible change in clothing (He sprays when he has the runs.)
   
5. Dangling baby boy by two limbs as you wash him up. (Skill level: HIGH)

Okay, maybe not *that* rare. But I do pride myself in being able to do a nice job. After all, praise from the lady always makes me feel good about myself.

Have You Checked Out the MCYS Ad?
Yup. The funeral one. Here it is. There's a really thoughtful wedding video spoof that the friends of a couple did. I'm glad to see things like that happening.

Okay, off I go. Work's calling.

Monday Faithful: Where Did It Go?

I just checked, the post I made yesterday didn't make it here. I've got limited access here at work, so I'll probably be posting only later this evening.

Catch up soon :)

David (And Us) At Church

He's well enough to be at Church today, yay!

There's Something In The Milk

That he's absolutely addicted to. He now needs it to fall asleep, even if it means a couple of mouthfuls.

We've got to wean him off it soon. It's good to see him taking to savory food well. I wish I took that picture of him slurping down that toufu just earlier. (a little bit of soy sauce goes a long way)

Yup. We've got to get him off his milk. If he doesn't scream the house down first.
