With Love, From Dad
Thursday, March 18, 2010
It has been decided from today that I will too, at times jot down my thoughts about life and Grace here in the wife’s blog (in a different coloured font for differentiation). Reason being we will want this to serve as a record and perhaps for the very morbid rationale that either one of us may regret one day (hopefully never) for not telling Grace what we want to say.
Yesterday, Wife mentioned in passing that Grace is very close to me. And my response is but of course...I am not going to list down the reasons why. This is for Grace to list down herself when she’s older. What I am going to ensure is she will have many many reasons and fond memories of why she’s close to her father.
Just a quick summary from where the Wife has left off since she last blogged about our lives. That was 8 Dec, my brother’s Jerry birthday…talk about coincidences in life. Well, Jerry and Lee Ling are very busy with their baby boy, Zhe Kai, my nephew and Grace’s cousin who was born 1 week earlier than her on 25th August. 2009 was a great year for my family with the inclusion of the 2 babies.
This was Zhe Kai when he was one month old.
Apologies for the digression. From then till today, Grace went through the following (from her father’s perspective) in order:
- First Christmas: her first Christmas present was Sophie the Giraffe. It’s like the Ferrari of cars, so better buy for Grace right? http://www.sophie.sg/content/6-press-info
And as usual, we went to David and Ernest’s dad’s place in Changi for Christmas Dinner. I have been doing this since I knew the boys back in NUS in 1997……how time flies, now we are all fathers. Thank God for this group of buddies. This Christmas was indeed different, babies all round and we ended at 10pm latest with no serious drinking like before.
- First CNY: it was a good holiday for us…...super long weekend. But before CNY, it was just pure madness. Grace had her first professional haircut, before that, was always her beloved Grandmother who was doing it.
Grace received her own personal playmat for CNY, a gift from Grandma who made a killing the week before in her weekly dry swimming exercise.
