Finally, we went to the Singapore Flyer yesterday. The tickets given to us by Fyn months ago expire today. It's an experience and we felt like foreign tourists visiting Singapore. What's more, we proceed to Chinatown after that.
The last 2 hours of 2012. Nothing spectacular this year, still we are thankful that everyone is in good health. With blessings from near and afar, our children graduated. Fyn will attend her graduation ceremony come next July.
See you next year.............. ciao!!!
Christmas Day finally arrvives. It's always nice to receive X'mas greetings from loved ones and good friends. Most of my friends are a distance from me for everyone is too busy. But their greetings meant that I am thought of on this festive season. You guys rock and I meant it.
What a beautiful footballing weekend! Singapore were crowned Champions of South East Asia after beating Thailand 3-2 in a home and away finals. What's more, my favourite Arsenal is in 4th position in the Primier League table. Carry on kicking!!!!
Happy Winter Solstice 2012 to everyone!!!
And now for the biggest joke in human history. Yeah, the world is supposed to end today. I woke up this morning and it's just another day. Those false prophets and smart Alexs who chose to misinterpret the Mayan long calendar and predicted the doomsday today, we say @#$% to you. Our Earth continues to spin and we are still breathing. Let's move on.
I really do not know how to have a smaller stomach. My only luxury I have is food. Diet is not in my dictionary and I can only eat less. Exercise? At my age, there is a limit. Worst, it's inconsistance. So how? I read an article which said sleeping can reduce weight. If that is so, I going to retire early everynight. Hmm........... let you know if it works. Goodnight.
I have been having dinner with my wife lately. Nothing strange. It's just that my job needs me to stay back often. So, having a dinner together with Margaret is a luxury. After all these years, she must have used to it. A wonderful wife for a hard working husband. Haha... self praise is international disgrace. LOL.
Ok, let's move on. Another weekend to go before Christmas 2012. Our home is pretty quiet for Fyn is away in India and Smily, hardly returns home early. Margaret is feeling the loneliness or quietness of life without children. This is life. Sooner or later, our children will leave us to set out their own family. Definitely, we will try to work as long as we can. To retire early and doing nothing is a no-no. With the money earned, we can look forward to our holiday abroad annually.
Congratulation to my neice Kate Ng on her graduation in US. I bet my late parents are proud of her achievement and smiling all day up there. Three cheers to my 3rd brother Francis Ng and sister-in-law too. Gong xi gong xi!!!!
Here she goes! Fyn has just boarded the plane to Bangalore and will be back in January 2013 next year. She is doing charity work at the Bangalore Children's Home. Take care and bon voyage!!!
I have accepted that both my children do not need me to worry for them anymore. And I am not going to worry for them either. For good or for bad, they decide what they doing. They should know what is best for them.
Whatever is happening to them, Margaret is the one who keep me updated. For my son, I believe he is working very hard on his job. He would open our bedroom door and call us whatever he reach home. After which this well-mannered son would return to his room.
My daughter has officially completed her study. She is leaving for some charity work in Bangalore India tomorrow. I understand she is also travelling to Taj Mahal after that. Honestly, I do not know when she is coming back. Like my son, we hardly talk. Anyway, she has invited me and Margaret for tomorrow breakfast.
Guess children are always closest to their mother. So long as they are healthy and happy, nothing else matter to me. As a father, no news is good news. Happy holidays!
They said lightning don't strike at the same place twice, right? Omg! I have 2 brothers in the hospital now. That is Thomas as mentioned in my earlier blog. Yes, and Patrick had been warded last night for abdominal pain. Doctors suspected gall stone but with all the tests done, they could not confirm. My poor younger brother has to go for further screening and test. We sincerely hope that nothing major comes out of it. Om mani padme hum.
We visited Thomas this afternoon at the Bright Vision Hospital. Yes, he is there for physiotherapy after treatment from SGH. Sadly, his Parkinson Disease started 8 years ago and since then it's getting not any better. We pray that his condition be maintained and controlled.
Thomas had been baptised recently and confirmed as a Christian. Miracles are hard to come by but you will never know. May the good Lord bless and be with him at this difficult period. May it be so.
