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!

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
