* I'm feeling so old now......more like a 35 year old even though it is still a long long way there........have a great weekend people....see you guys next year....

Final Week of The Year.......

It has been almost a quarter since my last drinking session with the guys....the best part being back home is.....taking time off from babysitting....



* Starter......the perfect pint.........my favourite.......




* Too bad FeiHai wanted beer later......adding extra measurements to our tummy......




* FeiHai being such a sport when XXXX is there........hehehehe....




* Thanks for the great moment guys..........




* KouHai being extremely disappointed with that night's outcome.....hot chicks all around...but none return his smile....hahahaha....luckily I was with my shorts and flip-flops....
.
.
.
I met a couple of old friends that night......seniors, juniors, etc....the crowd has always been the same in Ipoh....you'll definitely come upon the same bunch of people over and over again....having an outing with the guys once in a while is a hell lots of fun......but to do it several times in a week, I don't think I could handle that much excitement......hahahahaha
.
.


* JD looks really fair in this picture...hehehe contrast la Papa.......

* Dinner with my family is always a MUST.......if you're out for happy hour early in the evening, be sure to be home for dinner and continue your drinks right after.....

* Too bad JieJie and KitKit could not be back for the long break.......

* Mr. and Mrs. Lim........The Older version

* Mr. and Mrs. Lim.........The Latest Version......

* The busy little man.......been out for dinner, outings, etc........met up with WaiLune aka ChuToi on Saturday night......Thanks to Dato & Datin Cheah & Dr. Choe for JD's xmas gift.....next year get one for the father too ya...hehehehe.......2010 is coming yo.....enjoy the final week of 2009 people...hehehehehe...

Merry Xmas ho ho ho......

Another year will pass on by.........it's the holiday season once again.....Did we do enough in 2009??? Bonus perhaps??? Milestones achieved??? Well I shall talk about that in my next post......I'd rather wrap up stuff and get ready for the long break this coming weekend.......



* An appreciation dinner from the company 2 nights ago...........




* 'Phun Choi'........a traditional dish....for those who love seafood, they would happily down this pot filled with abalone, sea cucumber, prawns, etc with a little rush of orgasm......




* I'll be reporting to another office is Penang island beginning of the year.....one would agree that the open office concept is impressive but not to my personal liking.......




* Having an office in island means I would have to adjust my personal schedule....something I don't really fancy.........I'm the lucky few who doesn't have to punch in and out like those industrial minded people......all thanks to my job nature......




* The best part of the new office would be the mini bar right beside the entrance.....such design doesn't make any sense but this is one piece of layout I wouldn't mind.......at least I can pretend to be Terence (Gems of Life).....Red wine and suit.....hahahaha

* With the public holidays nicely arranged this month, I could once again take a breather in Ipoh with my beloved family and close friends this weekend.....I do not have any vacation at all this year.......babi punya pasal la~~~

* JD: Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is a new bike for daddy......

Me: ohhhh good boy...good boy....

* Merry Xmas people....drive safely...see you guys in Ipoh this weekend yo.....YAHOOOOOO.........

Observe and Learn........

After a long and tiring work week, it is time to lay back and rejuvenate at home.....with a new arrangement at work, I would now have a new role to play.......taking a leap away from my previous comfort zone aka 'hot' zone to others....away from the sewage at last.......another milestone for my career profile......hopefully a lucrative one too......ngek ngek ngek

After spending the entire day with JD by myside, I noticed that the lil man is actually right-handed....



* JD observes his right hand..........




* He smells his right hand........




* The perfect addiction.......

* Will be going home this coming long holiday....yahoooooooo..........

A Night with JD......

Out of the 7 days in a week, at least 4 of those are customary......Wake up, send JD to the babysitter, get to work, lunch, leave work, fetch JD, dinner with PW, do the dishes, watch TV, entertain JD, put JD to bed & sleep X 4......



* The cheeky attention seeker......




* Daddy is enjoying his ice-cream on a dull work night......




* JD is enjoying his daddy on a fun night.......




* My little man and I...........

* Hehehe.....TGIF.....too bad I've a meeting on a Saturday, can't go back and meet up with JieJie in Ipoh........

.

.

.

I have learnt something really valuable from my colleague's experience today......When your company needs you it would be... "We must work as a TEAM"........and when they don't then "That's your own problem".......well my comment would be "Do not do unto others as you would expect they should do unto you" ngam mou??? hehehehe I think I've reached Nirvana.......hahahaha.......Have a great weekend ahead people.....

Things You Can't Do When........

Things you can't do when you have a baby in the house.....

1. Watch movie (in the cinema).
2. Sleep like there is no tomorrow.
3. Enjoy your TVB dramas.
4. Dine in/out peacefully. Forget about hawker centres.




* PW can't even wear her diamond ring since pregnancy.......
.
.
Since Papa & Mama are here since Saturday, PW and I took the opportunity to head to the cinema for '2012'. It has indeed been a while since our last movie......Nice show by the way......the irony in it was........remember the ark in the show...the one that eventually saved mankind from extinction, the one that carried all the diplomats, scientists and billionaires???
.
.
.


* It was made in CHINA......hahahaha so don't condemn anymore on China's goods....it saves lifes in 2012 yo........




* My weekend saviour....come visit more often please...hehehe....Long work week ahead......Happy working people....

Down Memory Lane........

Lately, I came in contact with a lot of my childhood friends.....My buddies from La Salle Ipoh....my old primary school......

Thanks to ChuToi for the picture........

* 15 years ago...........

* The young me...........after failing the cut for the school team selection, I had decided to join the hockey team instead.........

* Suprisingly hockey took me further.............

.

Good times - played in many astroturfs in Malaysia with a bunch of great friends for the past 12 years.

.

Bad times - lost with a record of 0 -11 in a senior league (I was the top scorer...the goalie hahaha), missed the USM Penang Open.

.

Looking back, I do really miss being in a team.......a great story to share with JD when he is older.............enjoy the weekend people....

A Blissful Weekend.......

Things I'd give up the most being a daddy would be........TIME......with my pre-daddy lifestyle behind me for more than 3 months now, I would have to adapt getting the stick from most of my friends......

Call me after 10pm for a drink, I couldn't make it because I need to pat JD to bed..........ask me to go back to Ipoh for a gathering, I couldn't make it because I don't have a relatively decent car to drive JD back........Call me for a trip with the guys, I couldn't make it because I don't have the luxury to spend that much on myself for the time being........get my point??? ^_^.



* PW & JD ready for a stroll in Queensbay Mall on a beautiful Saturday..........




* Met up with Matt for Lunch..............Remember if you fail your paper this time around, I'll pass you all my notes....hehehehe




* This is dedicated to GohPek......real TomYum in a Thai Restaurant.........




* The rest of the dishes..........




* PW & JD both well fed.........A well-fed baby is a happy baby ^_^.....

* SY & CK dropped by for a visit last nite..........first time meeting JD....thanks for the angpao...hehehehe...

Being a daddy is like having 2 full time jobs.....one will start from 9am till 6pm......the other one will start right after 6pm......I could afford to slot in activities once in a while in between but don't count on it too much......schedule might change depending on JD's mood.....

* It's all worth while........New week ahead....happy working people.........

JD's New Toy.........

Another JD's post...it shows being a Daddy is very time-demanding......I've bought him another toy lately....to keep him occupied so that I could enjoy another 5 minutes of my beauty sleep every morning......



* Nice??? All you need is a pair of AA batteries......




* My saviour....at least for the coming weeks until he gets tired of them......




* Check out the video.......he prefers to hit those horses instead of staring at them....


Milk bottles and teat are the main concern when it comes to feeding the boy.......I've got more than a dozen of milk bottles and dozens of teats of various brands......I'm letting JD choose his favourite combination....see how considerate am I???


* Normal Pureen, Pigeon & Anakku...RM 12.90 for 3 bottles + teats..........
.
.
.
But all these come with a cost IF........
.
.
.


* He wants the MOST EXPENSIVE OF THEM ALL......'MAM'.....RM37 for a bottle.....RM12 for a teat......WALAUEHHHHHHHHHHHHH....next time I'd buy him a cow instead......


A lil recap of his recent hair cut......


BEFORE......






AFTER...........

* My cute lil botakhead...hehehe..........Enjoy the coming weekend people....YAHOOOOOOO.
