i'm back

It's been a while now.. been really busy with so many things lately.
New job is really taking up most of my time. not easy with the new job but i'm enjoying the work.
i'm just going to summarize my recent activities..

job:
currently working with Nestle. this is a really huge company. now working as Nestle Management team Key Account Executive. sounds complicated. but in short is just Marketing guy la. long working hour.. but get to travel less compare to before..
this is a total switch from my previous engineering job. giving up my engineering background is not easy. but so far, i think i'm making the right move.. (I think!)

Home:
wife is getting "heavier" as baby grow bigger in her tummy. so meaning i have more work to do at home. taking care of some house work and also my son. he is now 14mths old and just learn how to walk. following him around at 1st was fun, but try doing that for the next few hours, you will need a break to rest ur back.. no joke tiring.. my life is going to be more and more busy when the arrival of my princess very soon.. hmm.. 4 weeks more? about there.. Gambateh!!

social:
this part is kind of not in my dictionary any more..
it's been like, work and home only lately.. manage to meet up some friends but not much not significant at all..
have to make time to improve this area.. if not i'll be alienated soon..

music:
been listening to many albums lately.. all the albums are great! bruno mars, 30 seconds to Mars, snow patrol, 3rd eyed blind, hillsongs united, etc. and Swithcfoot is just an Awesome Awesome band.. love the songs.. my sister is going to their concert in KL i think.. sigh~~ i also want to go.. but too bad la..

birthday:
31 years old already. this year is really special. i got a HUGE HUGE surprise from my lovely wife. she gave me a surprise birthday party at home.. just me, my wife and my son. i'm really blessed by her. the best ever birthday song sang by the mother and son..

mum: Happy BIRTHDAY to.........
son: DAH-DEE
mum: happt birthday to..
son: dah-dee..

okok.. just want to end this blog with this awesome song by Switchfoot.. enjoy!





p/s: Lord, give me the strength to carry on with my life..

homesick...

i miss my wife n my son n my dog very much. no choice i have to travel for work. life is just so different when i have to go away from home. i can be staying in a 5, 6 to million stars hotel and still do not feel at home. seriously there is no place like home.

when i m in kuching, after work i will go pick up my son from the nanny. the moment i come out from the car and he sees me, he will always put a big smile on his face. at that moment, i feel like there is nothing in this world can bring me down. no matter how hard the journey can be, that smile just brush off everything in my mind and on my shoulders..

when i reached home, before i open the gate, my dog will be running around the house wagging it's tail, cant wait for me to go in and give her a nice pat..

and my wife will reached home in a short while. she will always open the main door putting a big sweet smile on her face.. (her smile is what that got me into this relationship.. haha.. old story)

now that i am away from home, thinking of that really makes me miss home even more. but on the other hand, they all give me a very good reason to work harder and also to motivate me to be a better person/husband/daddy.




P/S: Dear Lord, please cover n protect my family all the time. keep them away from harm n evil. Amen.

All New Episode II is COMING...

2011 is going to be another blessed year. I believe greater things are installed for me. I want to claim all the promises that You have spoke into my life. I want to thank You for all the things that you have done in the pass years.. i really am blessed..

this is the sneak peak of one thing that is to come in 2011.. :)


Lord, You have grant us the desire of our heart. in 2010 both me and kim are really blessed with our 1st son Isaac. and now.. a princess for us.. we are just so filled with your love. really cant wait to meet her..




P/S: Daddy, mummy and koko are all waiting for your arrival..

Father & Son

Father & Son is a very special relationship. after becoming a father only i get to see and experience more of a role as a father.

now that i am both son and a father. this make me even more "special".

when i was just a son.. there are many things that my father did that i will never understand until the day i become father. suddenly everything just make sense. a father will do anything to make sure that the son has the best. a father will try all kinds of thing to make sure the son is happy. while the father is trying and doing, the son might not feel that and not appreciate at all. but that will not mater until the father see the final result... which is the smile on his son's face.

Son! Daddy will always be there for you..

Son! take courage n walk.. daddy is always behind you watching..

This is also a reminder for me as God is our Father in Heaven and we are his children. He will always give us the best and His love for us is just so amazing. the Heavenly Father's love for us is the greatest love of all! Thank you Lord!






P/S: Christianity is not a religion! It's a relationship with God! Amen!

一个牙!

Today it's a very special day that i need to blog it down.

My son got his very first tooth!

it's just so so so cute.. hahaha.. no wonder he keeps using his tongue to touch his lower gum recently and his saliva just flow like Niagara Fall!

too bad it's so difficult to take a photo of his very first tooth. i will try to add a photo when i manage to get 1 later.. Stay tune...

Check out the white thing.. hehe..

P/S: man.. my baby son is turning into a boy already! oh my...

Pictures of my 1/2 years Old son

My Handsome boy..

Trying to do Michael Jackson moves again..

You!

P/S: Daddy pray that you will grow up to be a good, strong and healthy boy...

My 1/2 years old Son

I film my son "reading" his favorite Zoo Book. I cant stop laughing deep inside seeing how serious he was when he was reading the book. hahaha..


I told my wife i have to blog this moment. so that next time i can show him and let him see for himself.


He is so serious and focus and not distracted at all. i am just so amused by that. normally he loves to follow my voice. but i guess the book is more attractive than my voice la.

Isaac: Daddy can you please keep quite? i am trying to read here..

P/S: hope that 1 day he will grow up like his 姑姑. loves to read books la..

幸福

Been really busy lately. Seems like 24 hours a day is not enough. time flies really fast and everyday is like passing by without me knowing it especially when i am traveling so much.

Finally get to stay at home for a week without traveling. it's really great to be able to be home with my wife and Isaac. Able to kiss them both before sleep and waking up knowing that they are just beside me is just awesome feeling.

when i am away i really miss home and miss spending time with my beloved wife and son. but when i am at home means i got other things to do too.. like laundry, ironing, washing dishes, feeding gucci, feeding isaac, play with him.. well i guess i am not perfect la. i am also a lazy person. so if i do not do my part at home, my wife will start "singing" her "songs".. but it's all good la.. i'm sure that happens everywhere right?

now that i know having a 幸福 (happiness) family is not easy. it requires "Hard Work" really! everyone in the family has to take part and involve in this. 幸福 does not just fall the sky. you want it? you need to work for it. make it happen. and you will have it.

have a blessed day!

my precious moment with my son

Happy Mother's Day 2010

I really really wanna wish all the mothers in this world a Happy Mother's day.. It's really not easy to become a mother. after witnessing my wife from a lady to a woman to a mother.. it's really a no joke task ok! (Thank God i'm a MAN..)

mothers have to go through a long period of changes both physically and mentally. I am not sure if man/men can take up this task or not.. (mayb can't! that's why only lady can give birth!)



let's start with Physical:
1. BODY SHAPE change!! from ")(" to "( )"
2. during pregnancy sleeping habit, style, position, time all change. (no more your favorite pose or time)
3. walk also become very "chor loh"
4. face also become "bengkak" from "kua ci' face to "fa sui roti" face..
5. feet cant fit into those 10" heels... need to only wear stupid "CROCS" shoes..
6. no more tight jeans... no more mini skirts..
7. pimples all over her face and body due to hormone changes..
8. cant eat your favorite food.. like char kueh tiaw, KFC, Mc.D, IceCream,...etc only healthy food!
9. imagine carry another 10kg around your body everyday. sure gonna have backache and also foot pain..
10. u get tired all the time..



now the Mental part.
1. your memory start to decay.. short term memory..
2. stress out easily.. when baby kick you stress.. when baby dont kick you also stress.. stress!!
3. see other lady in nice dress and high heel.. you start to stress again...
4. see something you like and you can have it.. like deliciously sinful food!!
5. The worst past is.. Shopping!!!! i know all the girls love to SHOP! imagine this.. you like a pair of latest MNG super skinny tight Jeans.. WAH!!! so nice and GUESS WHAT!! ngam-ngam that time got 90% discount! YO! 90% discount ok?? only cost you about RM15/pc. u cant even try.. imagine u pregnant, bring a pair of those jeans to fitting room.. people will think you SIAW!!

there are more la.. but i think the point is clear liaw la..


the pain that mothers have to go through during labour.. tsk tsk tsk.. i tell you.. Wait!! i also dunno how to tell you la.. go and ask your mummy ok? the other day my mum told me that she had to go through pain for 4.5DAYs!! my wife 1 day also almost wanna DIE liaw.. imagine 30 years ago.. (oh ya.. i am 30 liaw! sigh..) medical equipment/technology not so good.. pain killer also dunno can kill pain or not la.. 4.5 days!! walauler... RESPECT!!


I hope this sharing can help you to appreciate your mum more. Mothers are also human. they also make mistake. they are not perfect. we seriously need to treat them better and also appreciate what they have gone through to bring you and me to this world.


My mother always try to give us 1st class service. She always try to give us the best. until the stage that she would rather not to spend anything on herself. she would give give give until there is nothing more to offer to us.. she loves us so much.. everytime when i go back home i always get "royal treatment"! she will cook anything we requested. she would bake any cakes or cookies as long as we requested! it will be on the table tomorrow. i can guarantee that! she would do my laundry and iron my clothes! (come on la.. i am 30 years old liaw.. she is not my maid..) that's the extend she will go!



"Mummy! i just wanna say i love you and want to dedicate the following song to you.. hope you like it!"

!!!!!NOT FORGETTING MY LOVELY WIFE!!!!!!

My wife KIM.. now also a mother! hehe.. i just want to say thank you so so much for giving up yourself to bring us this new family member. your journey to become a mother really open up my eyes. it's really not an easy journey. i appreciate everything that you do for me and for our new family. our marriage life has just enter a whole new chapter. and i hope that we can continue to walk together hand in hand for many more chapters to come. be it sweet, sour, bitter or spicy! we are in this together and we will walk together. I love you!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

The Toughest Job On Earth

This is quite a challenging topic for me. I am not sure about others. What do you think is the toughest job on earth? Is it your current job?

I am very excited when i found out that i am going to "naik pangkat" from a husband to a FATHER. My wife now is 2months plus pregnant. wow.. i seriously do not know how to express my joy and excitement in words la.. at the same time, i also do not know how to express my worries and also fear.. there are always 2 sides to a coin right? 

I know baby is a gift from God and i really thank God for that special gift. just that suddenly i am going to step into a very special position where i will be the leader of the house a.k.a HEAD of the house or HEAD of the family. not like last time, just me and my lovely wife. it's something much more than that already. now every word i say, everything action i do my junior will be watching me. i believe that parents will have the most influence on their children. if only me and my wife, i can still fool around and also act stupid at times. but now seems like all that will have to be put aside. i am not sure if i am over reacted or i have old fashion thinking la. i am also not saying that i am not allowed to have fun, but just that i need to have more "proper" fun la. for those who knew me, u will know sometimes i can get a bit out of control when too happy. hahaha... that's just me.. 

well, this is just my thought for now. i think i need to go find some good material to read and also find out a bit more about parenting la. please feel free to let me know or give me some advice or tips if you have experience in this area. All are welcome!! i know fathering a child it's not going to be easy. during last Father's day, my pastor salute all the fathers because according to him, Fathering is the toughest job on earth. I am a little bit frighten by that, but i think i need to go through it to find out myself if what he said is true la. please do not get me wrong ok? it's not that i do not believe what he said.. hehe..

My favourite saying "never try, never know!" I will continue to update my findings here. I believe this is another new chapter of my life and i am going to explore it. Yeah~~~

Cheers...

阿虎的故事..

This is about a man named 阿虎. (a.k.a. my 二舅)

You are just another ordinary man in the family.

But you are special to me that’s why I am writing about you.

You always have a very fierce look on your face.

So fierce that not even a gangster would dare to look at you eye to eye.

But when u smile, it just show another side of you.

Full of warmth and also make people feel so welcome.

The word that you used it’s always very “flowery” that if were to go On Air, it will be full of “BEEP!” hehe..

I fully understand why because you got your degree from the Kapit Street University.

But when you crack a joke, it will really bring tears to my eyes and also cramp my tummy.

You to me are the Best Chef in town.

Your pork chop, loh pui, foo chow char mee, wild pork....

I’m gonna miss them all.

You are always so proud of your work.

I am also so proud of you.

You also taught me a lot of things that cannot be learnt in the best UNIVERTISY on this earth.

There are so many that will take me months to list them all.

The one I would share will be how to choose a fine Durian.

EYE: how to choose the color and shape of durian.

NOSE: how to smell the durian.

EAR: how to hear the “heart beat” of the durian.

MOUTH: the different taste of durian.

You will always able to get the best from the seller with best price.

I am not even close to 50% compare to your skills.

You will always buy, packed it nicely, froze it and ship it for us all.

You know we both love Durian so much.

You are so tough since the 1^st day I met you.

You always seems to able to take down the whole 300 Spartans on your own.

You even fight with the cancer cells in your body. Never seems to give up!

I do not know how much pain you have to go through.

But the best part is knowing that you fight your last battle with Jesus by your side.

You may not be around anymore; people may think that you lost the battle...

Deep inside me I know that you’ve won the battle.

You have won more than just a battle.

You left behind a great legacy for the younger one to look up to!

Till we meet again..

Miss you,

Ah Boy

二舅!! Rest In Peace..

Ngiu! Good Bye....

Ngiu,

It’s been seven days already since you left. How are you doing? I may sound stupid asking this kind of question but I just cant stop myself from asking this question. Knowing that you are now in a better place, the place without suffering and pain. I am really happy to have you in my life and also be under your family tree. You left behind another great legacy for the younger generation to look up to and also set a very good expel for us.

Since day one, we may not be able to speak common language or communicate like others do. But deep inside us when we look at each other I know that you are happy with what I have achieved today as your grandson. The smile on your face says it all. I really miss that smile on your face. You have set a very good example for me. You are really a very generous person even when you are already so old you still want to give. Be it just a 20cents coin, sweets, oranges, pao, etc. I am sure no one around you will feel hungry and I'm glad to be one of them. You will still give even when you have nothing else to offer.

The other day when you are lying in bed with oxygen tube in your nose, you still ask me if I had my dinner yet and want to buy me dinner if I have not had my dinner. I just want to say thank you. I seriously do not know how to repay you back with all the things that you have offered. I guess I will just have to learn from you and make sure I will pass this message down to the next generation.

Not able to be at your side when you breathed your last breath really makes me feel sad. I may not be able to do anything special about your parting but at the very least I can be there to say good bye!

Your relationship with grandma also opens up my eyes. I thank God for letting me witness this Great Love Story of yours. There is not a single Love movie from Hollywood can compare to yours. Your love for one another is so simple and also so pure. I’m sure you remember the day before you left, grandma was beside your bed and she held your hand and ask you if you can still remember who she was. You were too weak to speak. You just look into her eyes and nodded your head gently. During that moment, tears just filled my eyes. Thank you for sharing your life with me.

Do not worry about grandma! She is fine. I’m also very encouraged by her. She really commits you to the Lord and knowing that one day the two of you will meet again. I guess there is where she seeks her comfort. Many of us here will take good care of her.

I’ll stop here now. May you rest in peace.

Love,

Ah Boy

Ngiu! Rest In Peace..
