2011 have been a year of blessing for me though many of my goals have not been absolutely met. I have a drastic career changed, moved back to my own house and added one more lovely boy 'Xavier' into my feeding list(and i feel proud of it). I am actually feeling a little guilty not having any photos or posting regarding him since the day he arrived. I am really sorry my son, its not that daddy favor JieJie more than you but daddy is really busy trying to cope with my new path of career and there is also this Facebook to blame as it is more convenient to upload photos compare to this blogging channel. Daddy promise I will blog and upload more of you into this digital dairy once everything is more settle down ok. There are just too much responsibilities for me to handle now and daddy really need to make use of my time productively.
2012 should be a more challenging year for me and daddy already have in mind some goals I aim to achieve. Not resolutions but goals because a resolutions will only turn against me as if I resolve to do something, I HAVE to do it, and I am just setting myself up for disaster! But, you know me, daddy is a spontaneous man and I don't like to plan things ahead. And while the items in my mind are not resolutions, but just my new year goals, its really ok. Goals are okay because the timeline is fluid, and there is no 'HAVE TO DO IT'. Just, “I would like to do it.” As passive as it may sound, I really know myself that things will eventually screw up if I plan much ahead of it. But no planning doesn't mean I am going to wait till it rains before I replace a broken umbrella. For me, I am more like a wind surfer who aim to reach its destination with the help of the wind. You see my point now?
So, when Santa has come and gone, and we’ve eaten and drank ourselves stupid and bloated, these are my goals for the first quarter 2012. And maybe the second quarter – what can I say, it’s a FLUID list!
1) To keep myself healthier, fitter and muscular (i guess that's every men goals)
2) Sell more houses
3) Able to save enough for a Christmas trip for my family by December
4) Eat more veggie
5) Buy an ipad 2 (another icannot resist guy)
6) Finally, to have another baby (just kidding my wife, take it easy) unless by accident.... lol....

Standard Charter Kids Dash 2012
We almost missed this year kids dash we had registered Gracia 6 months ago. Lenna is usually the one recording and taking notes of the details whenever she participated her for this kind of activities, I ll only be inform when the date is almost due. But this time round she missed it becos we had a new arrival in our home that occupies mummy's time 24/7. Ever since, me and Gracia has down-graded to her secondary commitment. Xavier is now mummy's NO 1 devotion.
The organizer "Standard Charter" did sent a few notification and also emails to Lenna but she wasn't aware of it at all, most probably, her listening skill has fine tune from able to catch a sms alert sound to a baby crying sound now. Fortunately, her phone was placed in front of me on the table when I was doing some work and a standard charter sms alerted us about our last chance to collect Gracia race package bag at MBS on Sat. Thank God, and immediately we rush down and manage to bring back her running singlet, participant no tag etc. And we are all happy and proud of her she completed the race all by herself this year! Well Done My Cheeky Little Gracia!

Family Outing To Singapore Flyers On 8th Oct 2011
It took me a few months to write something about anything on my blog, what a shame. I feel guilty forsaking this wonderful piece of art I once devoted into and a dwelling place to let me pour out my thoughts, opinions and feeling. I wonder if there is still soul in my blog when it seems like a tomb that no one tend. And all for the reason of money. Like the old saying goes; you cant made a living as an artist. Not to mention that, my blog is only meant for personal and not even in the form of commercialism.
Xavier born two days ago and I am now a proud father of two, but it may also spell doomsday for my blog since I will have one more reason to excuse myself and tell myself I should spend time making more money and being realistic to the needs of my family welfare and not wasting time on this unpractical cause. What a shame what a shame! Even me who self-proclaim as a free style, free spirit man who once despise the cooperate world and love bag-packing, who once disregard wealth for the wrong reason (though I need $$$ like everyone does) and prefer to follow my heart and was cautious not to suck into the rat race. But look at me now, putting myself at the center stage of the rat racer community being a estate agent. Who to blame? Some say I should blame the government for making Singapore from 3rd world country to the 1st in less than two decades, while other point finger at the crude, unforgiving and brutal society for always serving the riches the best, labeling them righteous and crowning them with the throne of wisdom men and always in fear of them while the poor is always the bad guy, the unintelligent (even though if you have some hidden talent like me.LOL) and the person who will get squeeze, stab, and being push around with no mercy and compassion. Apologize if I sound pessimistic, but I am just stating the fact of the practical world.
Despite having a carefree personality, I can no longer be as casual as before about my life and do what I like and be the cool man I wish and just follow what my heart says. Because I am no longer being responsible for just my own life but also the life of my loving wife and two very adorable children. Should I still feel guilty and a shame for being realistic and practical? Maybe not. Since I know down deep inside my heart, I am still as passionate about life as before and enjoy photography and composing and would definitely love to bag-pack if I ever have a chance. Now that I have chosen a path which I personally would not choose if I were to be single means I am just doing it because I love my family more than my own life and would scarify my own dream, my style and forgo my way of doing things and even engage myself into the financial world of property all in the hope of bringing them the best in life.
God, bless me with the ability to compete in the corporate world which I totally have no interest of and let me faster fulfill my responsibility as a father and be able to provide sufficient finance into their life and make me stay healthy until I accomplish my all my goals and satisfy my dreams in life(bag packing).
Below are some pictures I took during family outing to Singapore Flyers two weeks ago. Thanks to in-law sister Hoon for the free tickets!!!
