Here are some of the reasons why I am keen on staying strong, living my life to the fullest,
he’s so tiny, and cute.
she makes bland food look good, and giving birth a breeze.
and she made everything possible.
The Reason For Happyness has arrived!
Fresh like a clear day, our little baby boy was born on the 3rd of June.
I’ve posted mini shoutouts all over the Internet, because that’s all I can manage at the moment, because I would be rushing back to hospital to accompany Hwei Min, but he is so beautiful! Having someone so dependent on you land in your arms really changes your perspective, no matter how much you feel you are “prepared” for the moment.
I promise you will be seeing more of him soon, so hang tight! 🙂
Internet Message In A Bottle?
Ok… What’s up with putting a strange guy’s photo on my blog?
I’ve received a strange request on Friendster one day, from a stranger, by the name of Yoke Ping.

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience cause

Now, I’m usually a very suspicious person, especially about spam and scams. But, well, she had a full detailed Friendster page, and left an email address, so why not find out more. I’ve been watching an incredibly romantic JDorama called Densha Otoko, and the similarities are there.
I’ve always been intrigued by the use of the Internet for good causes. Yes it is sickening after so many chain mails that lead to nowhere, but always, there’s this part of me that believes that, yes, it’s possible that there might be someone with a real need out there.
So I followed up, by emailing her, and so far, I’ve had human replies, and as much as I can ascertain, she’s a living breathing decent person.
So this is me doing my bit. This is what I’ve gathered. This is her friendster page http://profiles.friendster.com/user.php?uid=11256457 and her blog http://ypig930.blog.friendster.com/ if you want to find out more, but basically, she’s searching for a friend whom she had met at a temp job, from what I gather.
A guy who started out as a stranger, but who offered the friendship and support when she needed it the most. His name is Chua Y’ng Gien @ Chua yong jien, age 27-28yrs old, last known area he was staying is Ang Mo Kio. He was serving his NS around 2005 or 2006.
Yoke Ping would be leaving Singapore, maybe for good, and she wants to leave, knowing that this friend of hers is doing fine, and maybe to thank him one more time. If you believe in her cause, do help to spread the word, try to find out where he is?
The Baby Comes… Ultrasound Images
“If you look at this thingy here…” Dr Ang pointed on the screen, “it’s fairly obvious that it’s
a boy.”
The ultrasound scan is never 100% accurate, as most doctors would point out. But it tends
to be more accurate when the sypnosis is that the baby is a boy. (Unless our baby has a
dark sense of humor, and decides for some reason to fool us all by holding a middle finger
sign with her hands.)
So mum and dad are fairly excited because it means that shopping can be done, finally.
“Oh, evil marketers, and all your cute colour coordinated offerings!”

The Baby Comes… Month 4
Not quiet anymore! The baby’s coming!

| From TWeaK Me |
It’s been a while since I’ve updated, but at least now, it’s not so quiet any more!
We’ve announced about a month back, when at the end of the first trimester, we
went for a scan, and the baby is healthy!
Also we’ve completed the Oscar test, OSCAR stands for “One-Stop Clinic for
Assessment of Risk”, and this is a 90% accurate test for evidence of Down Syndrome,
and came out negative too.
As we are fairly young parents, the risk of having a child with Down Syndrome is
pretty low, but it helps to be prepared anyhow.
We have asked ourselves seriously… IF our child really had Down Syndrome, what
would we do?
We both agreed that it would not be right to give up on our child even if he/she had
down syndrome, as it is not a condition where the child has to suffer after birth.
The child would need a little more time to learn, that’s all. The gift of life is still a gift
of life.
In discussing this, and realizing our common stand, it affirms our relationship even
more. I suppose we both have very different ways of explaining why we decide
this way, she would mention about God, and I would mention about the Wheel of Life,
but our respect for life is there, and something we hold in common.
