Happy Mother's Day!!

Dear Mummy,

Happy Mother's Day! It's your first.

Because I don't have any cash in hand, and Papa refuses to buy you any flowers, I'm showing my love for you by helping you with the household chore.

All t-w-e-n-t-y e-i-g-h-t seconds of it.

You are the greatest parent ever - second to Papa of course. 

Conversation of the day - Young and Powerful

Received a Twitter mention which I showed Wifey..


Me: Wah.. you see.. don't play play... 

Twitter message read: 

@BenAngYH Please nominate someone or yourself for the Power 30 Under 30 Award before the deadline. 

Wifey took a quick glance at the message and said nonchalantly:

Conversation of the day - Shades and beachboys

One of the first things I bought when I first started working, my pair of Oakley sunglasses has been a loyal servant for more than 7 years. It has started to give signs of filing for retirement.

So on a recent work trip to Hong Kong, which I went with a new colleague in tow to bring her around, I decided to start shopping for a pair when time permitted.

Me: (Trying on a new pair) Hmm.. What do you think? This pair is not bad, but if go beach very funny right..
I want something more versatile, can suit work wear and also to go beach.

After a few rounds of trying...

My colleague said..

Devasom Hua Hin Resort

If you are wondering which hotel or resort to stay in Hua Hin, you may want to consider Devasom Hua Hin Resort.

Ranked number 2 out of 122 hotels in Hua Hin on Trip Advisor, they must be doing something right.

We visited in Jan and we totally love it..
A really great place to chill and really relax..

And the view is fantastic as well..

The best sun rise I've seen (but I haven't been to too many places...)

Here are some of the pics at dusk and dawn...

Reflecting on 2012

While most people set new year resolutions, I think it is even more important to reflect on the year that has passed to reflect on what can be improved and give thanks to what has gone well.

I have done it for the past 2 years and although slightly late this year, I think it is something that I wish to continue. 2012 has really been a significant year full of changes.

Top of the list to be thankful for is of course the birth of my super duper handsome baby boy. 

A lot of people say he looks like me. Just saying.

My mum the Superwoman!!

We needed to transport a plastic drawer thingy from my place to Wifey's place...

While I could fit the containers easily into the car, I had trouble fitting the below in....

No matter how i tried, it just wouldn't fit into the car. So i told my mum I will try again another day. Thinking that i most probably will have to dismantle it etc...

Signs of a Kiasu parent?

Before I became a Dad, I always wonder why kiasu parents overly stress their kids.

Always pushing them to (over) study and forcing certain careers with good prospects (good money) on their kids.

But now that I am a Dad, not only can I empathize with them.. I'm afraid.. *gasp* I'm already starting to become like them... and there are some careers that I think Baby Nathan should "consider" when he grows up..

In my defense, he has already showed potential in these careers.. yes!.. he has!!
