Me, my wife and son

Steph is more than 7 months pregnant now.. we are both enjoying the pregancy period ...
It has been tough yet fulfilling changing our lives in anticipation of our little one ....

of late, there has a been a lot of rumbling in Steph's tummy, obviously from our son. I think he picked that attribute from me since everyone knows i am quite animated for 90% of the time .. hahaha ..

here's a pic of us during the Christmas party .. : )



I think i will miss these times .. not sure why. Maybe because of the quiet time we can spent together .. with our son in side the tummy ( and not crying when he is out) ...

Christmas 2007 ... my first Xmas in my own home

As usual, i have been getting complaints from friends about not updating the blog .. haha .. trying to adjust ..

Life's been a roller coaster recently, preparation for the arrival of our baby boy (YES, IT IS A BOY!!!!) ... hahha

anyway, in december we had a small gathering at my place, organized by my Circle of Female friends .. hahah .. It is our FIRST and LAST christmas party as a couple. Next year, same time, same place, it will be 3 of us.

Here are some pics from the small gathering.

1. Log Cake .. yummy ... rich chocolate

2. Steph with my Circle of Girls .. hee,hee .. not bad for a married man right .hhaaha ..

3. Group photo of everyone ! ...

Glimpses of Japan (29 Nov - 10 Dec 2007) Part 1

Steph and myself recently went on our 2nd trip to japan .. this time at a more relaxed pace since Steph is getting "bigger" hahah.. .. it was really nice, we dictated the pace, if we felt like waking up later .. we just wake up later lor .. no tour guide to hurry you .. no running around in a bus with tonnes of other tourist ..

As usual, good food, good shopping, burnt pockets ^^" ... but happy souls .. :)

here are some glimpses of our trip:

Remember Kung Fu Hustle - here's Bao-Zhu po sending you a "zhong" !!!

Picture taken in Arashimaya .. lovely autumn colors, so colorful that it is almost unimaginable

Nijo Castle in Kyoto .. .lovely castle that is well preserved
Kiyomizu in kyoto - autumn light up ... nice hor .. and cold too, around 5-8 degrees.

the famous Tori Gate at Miyajima island .... lovely island, we stayed a local ryokan on the island

Passion in life

5 months on after my customary wedding in August, life is good... and it will get better

so here are the highlights:

3. Finally got used to my job ... ^^' it is still pretty tough due to very different cultures

More pics of our place

have been pretty slack in my update of the blogs .. some of my friends have been screaming at me ..hahah.. here's more pics of the place.. hope you like them



the green room is the guest room .. thought it would be nice to have a sudden change of color plus it is green, so it is soothing for the eyes :)

Glimpses of the new house ( sorry for the late posting)

It has been > 2months since i moved in .. things have been busy .. new job, wedding ..etc.. I apologize for not updating the pics earlier. .

so here are some pics of the finished flat .. Hope you like them !

Master Toilet .. check out my cool design ! We took a while to conceptualize this idea, cute isn't it ... :)

Software: Windows Movie Maker (and it is FREE!!!!) ... and it is really easy to use ..

tough work ... what am i actually working for .. .

It has been > 4 months since i started my new job ..

honestly, it has been tough, being told to read documentation when you have an issue or a problem, ... it is sooooooooooooooooooo frustrating !

somehow, i feel work is getting tougher .. old age perhaps?.. can't teach an old dog a new trick... hmm.. i wonder

many times at night i keep asking myself, what am i working for, would i be satisifed if i earn a lot of money, should I slog it out for the next few years? Or should i find a way to start a small business and get the satisfaction of having your own business, may not earn a lot but well, more flexibility...

*Sigh* .... then again, life is about making choices ...

My place is coming into shape ... Yeah baby Yeah !

Yes, the island is coming up ... :) yeah ...

The bench in our cosy area.. nice right ..hee,hee..


My room has an interesting corner, it is actually rounded, if you look from the outside, it is actually a chimmney feature.. not sure why it was designed like that. Anyway, it is cool, so we built a platform on it ... becomes a miny cosy area... now all i need is nice big bean bags, any takers? ^^

Check out the lights shining against the "oreng" ceiling ... cool right ??? .. the more i know like it, the more it looks like a european styled loft .. haha .. I LIKE IT !!!!


Another angle of it .... ^ ^

Renovations coming along ... decent progress

A peek of my master room toilet ... :)


The laminate in the rooms ... the walls are in brown .. *WRONG COLOR* ... we were horrified to see it as we were expecting green actually.. then again, the color looked interesting .. didn't go down very well with the wife, so called the contractor ... "BROTHER !!!! .. how come like that ......... " ^^

Remember the ledge in the earlier post, up comes my circular window ... cool right? :) I LOVE IT big time .. heehehe... very unique.. like looking into a different world ... the other side is the study-converted cosy area .... cool right? ... don't pray pray .. ha ha

Glimpses of my super cool kitchen with all the "oreng" cabinets .. hahha ... it is turning out pretty well, if i might say so .. *bow*
