Birds




They are flying. There's nothing we can do. Once a fortune teller in Hong Kong told us that our children are like birds. They will fly out of our house and disappear for days. Need to say, they will return once they are tired. Home sweet home.

Fyn returned yesterday after five and a half weeks in India. She is resting at home and will be flying to the States on 24 January 2013. This time she will come back somewhere in May 2013. Sigh.... she won't listen to anything disrupting her way. Anyway, she is old enough to know what she wants. I can only wish her Bon voyage and good luck.

Busy or not?




Yes, I am a busy man. At times it's not because of my work. However, I can make way for certain events. They take priority. For example, I attended a good friend's mother wake this evening. However, I am going to give a miss on a causal friend's farewell dinner tomorrow evening. No doubt he is leaving for Australia for good, I do not know him well.

Our daughter should be back from India tomorrow. I wonder how she manage to survive so long over there? Me and Margaret were not as adventurous as her when young. Bet it's not genetics. It's that nowadays youngsters see things different from our generation. Travelling on a plane is just like taking a bus. Maybe that's the reason where we have the word airbus. Whatever, she has to face the real working world sooner or later. Life isn't such a beautiful thing.......

My former teachers




Of course I am still not happy. Having a blog which I can't upload my photos from my computer. Crazy. Maybe I should give up this blog and go for another one. No worry, I shall inform all of you should it happens.

I missed my ex-secondary school class gathering the other day. Thank goodness, Tony sent me pictures of the event. Sadly, I miss the chance to catch up with my former teachers Mr Boey and Mr Nathan. Back then, Mr Nathan left us for a heart by-pass operation. That was the last I've seen him about 35 years ago. Imagine my joy when I received a photo of him. I would be happier if I was there to shake the hands of both my ex-teachers.

Picture insert




I am unable to upload pictures from my desktop. After clicking the insert image icon, I can only upload from the Picasa Web album, the phone, webcam and a URL.Need to consult IT geniuses so that photographs could be uploaded for all to see. Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

We are into the 6th day of year 2013. It's all ordinary, just like any other day. To the Chinese, we are at the end of the Dragon Year. I am sure most of us are starting our preparation to welcome the Snake Year comes 10 February 2013.

An exciting year ahead



It's a new year that comes with a new hope. A fresh new chapter waiting to be written. Guess it's gonna be an exciting year ahead. I sincerely wish everyone stays healthy. Watch our diet, sleep & rest enough and do not over-stress ourself.

Fyn is celebrating the new year in Rajastan, India. Well, she intends to travel as much prior to starting her career. I understand that she will return on 15 January 2013. She is not staying put and will be flying off to the United States to look for her friends on 24 January 2013. Definitely she will celebrate the Chinese New Year there.

Smily and Sheryl are in Genting Highland (Malaysia) for Smily's company retreat. Good luck and hope they bring the whole casino down. By the way, when was the last time me and Margaret last visited there? It must be at least 10 over years. High time for another trip up there.

What a start to the new year for our children! We are not left behind either. The buzz for me and Margaret will be in May this year. Yes, Europe is waiting. The best is yet to be.

Adieu 2012!


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!!!

Greetings near and afar



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!!!!
