To make past become present....

This is the view taken from my room window. Not much you can see though other than the MRT track, Seagate company and the HDB flat surrounding. I purposely captured this view so next time it can remind me of the past, the work & life I had in Singapore... This is also serve to remind me that my baby is made in Singapore as well :). I know I will not be staying forever in Singapore, but at least I have some sweet memory which I will treasure for the rest of my life....

Sony Digital Workshop Course

I attended the workshop last Sunday since my wife cannot make it. It's a complimentary one and I thought why not? who knows I can learn something useful about taking picture  :). Overall, the course was very informative. I get to know many features about the camera I am currently using and how to make use of the Aperture, Iso & shutter speed to get the right exposure. 

I need to teach my wife everything I know before I forget it. I am not really interested in photography and things like that so I just worry that I might forget all that I had learn in the workshop. All in all, I think photography is about how you choose the right exposure combined with your passion. It's also about creativity, imagination and about how you think the scene suppose to be captured to give you the outcome as you already have in mind.

So, not all ppl can produce great photos especially if they do not have passion in photography like me. That's why most camera have automatic function.

Little Heart Beats

Had a second ultrasound last Saturday. The doctor said our baby is growing fast and everything is fine and healthy. It is now a fetus and has grown from 0.42 cm to 1.08 cm in just two weeks. The doctor showed us the heartbeat and amplify it so we can listen to it. It's very exciting to be able to listen to our baby's heart beat and we can't wait for another check up which will be in a month time from now.

My next plan

I am planning for my next plan. My baby is coming, means I need a house, I mean the whole house on my own. Not only a house, I should think about who is going to take care of my baby while my wife and I are working. These 2 things are lingering inside my mind. My original plan is to rent a HDB unit here at the cost of 1500-1700 dollars. I tried to contact several agents but they never come back. It might be due to difficulties to find one with such a budget for 2 bedroom HDB. Most of HDB now comes with 3 rooms (minimum) and they cost about 2K. Then I was thinking about sharing with my friend, but we are not working at the same place. So, another location problem.

My second plan is to stay in JB. This seems to be working but my wife have to work in JB, because it will be very troublesome for her to travel by public transport everyday looking at the distance of her workplace from the checkpoint. I will not have the same problem since my workplace is just next to the checkpoint and the company provided bus for their employees. I asked her opinion and she says she prefers to work in  SG.

Hmm... quite complicated huh? I am now exploring the 3rd option which is buying a house in JB and a 2nd hand SG registered car. This seems to solve the transportation problem but I need to work out some calculation whether it would be an economically good option or not. The good thing is we can ask our parent to stay with us to help taking care of the baby, without having to worry on the immigration issues as if staying in SG.

I am gonna submit my PR application next week, and if it got approved, I will have less problem to think about. So, lets hope for the best and hopefully everything will be alright.

First Baby Sneak Peek

We went to the see the Gynecologist for check up today and the doctor said everything is healthy and schedule another follow up 2 weeks later. By that time he said we should be able to see the heart beat already.

The dark spot is the gestational sac with the size about 0.42cm. Still small yet visible :). It's about 5 weeks and 1 day old and the estimate date of delivery is 9 Mac 2012.

It was my first experience going to the gyne with my wife. When my wife called in, I went together with her to "KEPO-KEPO". The nurse asked my wife to go into the ultrasound room, and pointed me a large screen where I can see the ultrasound image.


It took less than 10 minutes for the whole process, and the doctor confirmed the pregnancy. The nurse provided the printout immediately before I even asked for it.

Wedding Video

It's already 7 months after  my wedding and yet I still have not receive a copy of my wedding video DVD even after the full payment has been made right after the wedding is over. I really surprise that I can tolerate with this delay. Maybe I am a bit soft on this since I like his work and I try my best to understand his situation with his busy schedule.

But the most irritating thing is he keeps on giving dates but end up nothing. If 2-3 months delay is still acceptable but 7 months? Just because I am no longer a potential customer for him doesn't mean he can be a total ignorance about his responsibility. This is unacceptable!

I've just sent another SMS requesting him to send the video next week or return my money back. He replied he will sent it right by next week and apologized. Not that I don't want to accept his apology, but deep in my heart, I still in doubt whether he can fulfill his promise after so many broken one. We wait and see.

A Date To Remember

It was 5am in the morning. I was half-awake from the sound of my wife going to the washroom. I wasn't bother as I was very sleepy and the thought of going to work really made me wanting to stay on bed longer. Shortly after that my wife woke me up and pulled me to the bathroom to show me something anxiously.

I thought something bad had happened. I was really clueless about what she wanted to show and all sort of terrible things came across my mind. With eyes half opened, my wife pointed to something familiar.... A Pregnancy Test Kit she had just used without my knowledge!.

I cannot describe my feeling that time, but I am thankful and relieved because it means nothing bad happened. Shortly after that, my anxious and worry turned into excitement. Thats mean I am going to be a daddy soon. I am more than a happy man!

It reminded me about my dream last Saturday holding my own kid. But I don't remember exactly whether it's a boy or girl. The feeling is strange yet soothing and comforting. I will treasure this moment for the rest of my life :)
