Are you our baby Eva?

On Friday, 21st July 2017, at 1:54pm, I got a text from our agent regarding a one-week old infant girl in Medan.  She was born on Saturday, 15th July 2017, at 8:35am weighing 3.0kg.

I glanced at the photos of the baby girl.  After numerous photos of babies, I was initially ambivalent. I tried looking at them logically without emotion. But really, there's no way you could look at this baby and not feel anything. In other words, she's precious.  She may be our baby girl.  OMG.

We made plans to see her in Medan on Monday, 31st July 2017.  The plane ride there was marred by a noisy aircraft but we got there safe and on time.  Then came the bumpy, long ride to the agent's house.  Traffic was atrocious as it was a weekday but we had a skillful driver and he got us to where we had to go although you really had to trust him and all the other motorists on the road...

Little baby girl was 2-weeks old when we saw her.  She's tiny. She yawned and fussed for milk.  I held her, she didn't cry.  Matt and I thought, she's the one, so we agreed to bring her to Singapore.

Now, she's in the care of the nanny in Medan.  We will see you again in a few weeks, little angel.   In the meantime, drink lots of milk, sleep a lot, stay healthy and grow strong!

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.
