Here's to an awesome 2015!

It's a brand new year again!

The year does zip by so fast, doesn't it?

Hope 2014 was great for you. Remember the good, learn from the bad, and most importantly count our blessings.

Remember.. It is ok to fall...

Life sux sometimes and does get low...

But never fear... Rest if you have to..

The (un)greatest Dad on earth?

So I have been preparing Baby N for my latest work trip.. 

Before I left...

Me: So how many days will Papa be away for?

He ponders for a while

Same Same But Different..

So how much does Baby N look like me when I was around his age?

Very much it seems...

Found a pic of me when I was young..

The same mad scientist hairstyle..

Baby N - the music prodigy!

You may remember Baby N has shown early promise and potential in many possible careers. 

Boss.. Kung Fu master.. Mr Universe.. Rock star.. to name a few... 
Read about it at 

Signs of a Kiasu parent?

But recently.. I realised... he could be a music prodigy!!!!!!

Witnesses aplenty... so you can't say the Dad is bias... Quite a few of my friends saw it happen!!

Why do I say he could be a music prodigy?

He has a natural affinity for Piano!

The affinity is so strong..

Baby N has excellent command of English!

Baby N has excellent command of English.
Much better than Daddy here.
And he loves helping people.

Proof?

He left the remote control on the floor.
Wanting to teach him to pick it up I tried ways and means..

"Baby.. you left it on the floor, so you have to pick it up."

It's Friday!!! TGIF

How does Baby N feel about the weekend?!

Baby N's inner thoughts - Thanks Papa..

I can read Nathan's inner thoughts. 
Say real one.
And this is what he wants to say.


Dear Papa,

As you know, I turned one last week.

Time flies, I'm a big boy now.

Though I'm young, I know that you are.. how do I put this respectfully.. VERY careful with money. VERY VERY careful with money. VERY VERY VERY careful with money, as mama says. 

Conversation of the Day - Falling sick

** Missed call from colleague **

The next morning...

Me: 

Hey sorry, didn't hear your call last night. 

Was busy taking care of baby Nathan. Everybody is falling sick.

Colleague:

What's wrong?

Is he ok now?

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. 

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.

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!!
