Wow.. It's been nearly 3 years since the last post.

I guess taking the public transport into work should help me reflect and blog more.

Time passes by so very quickly.

What has happened over this period of time..

We are now parents of two lovely angels - Sophie (3) & Callum (1).

That is a real life changer but nearly worth it most times.. I don't think we would have it any other way.

I would have also left my first commercial job after about 3 good years. Now am doing project accounting to add something different to the bucket since Aug 2011.

Was just thinking that God has truly provided for me all these time. It is amazing looking back since 2005.. never would have imagined that I would have been a married man and a father of two by 30.

Speaking about age.. Yes, I reached the 30 mark last year.. And will turn 31 in a couple of days time..

Fast forward 9 years later.. 

 

Our two lovely angels are still mostly angels and lovely.. S is now officially a teen and with it comes the wonderful years of emotions and hormones.. C is still a lovely boy heading towards tween but still retaining the innocence.. still love giving and receiving hugs, doesn't mind holding hands while crossing the road..

Work wise.. after 9 years with CVX.. got made redundant.. so much for the security of a permanent staff.. Thankful that being permanent meant a decent payout.. it is really God's timing and a well deserved break.. as H says, don't think I will have many long periods of break just spending time with the family.. good timing to just be a stay at home dad as H returns to work part time.

Also reaching another milestone.. the big 4-0.. halfway crisis?!

Hoping for another healthy 40 years ahead.. no regrets to date.. there is more to life than $$$

Thankful for the opportunity to work at CVX for the past 9 years.. the CWW every second Friday came in handy for kids school activities, lunching with H, getting odds n bobs done.. 

A major phenomenon happened to which can't be ignored - COVID19 has truly changed / affected lives in many ways.. 

 

Hopefully we can travel freely without quarantine / minimal risk of contracting the virus in the near future..

 

Today is Day +9 that H is back in CI as Pa is down with pneumonia for the last 3 weeks and it doesn't appear positive.. the doctor had updated that he will remain in the hospital until end of life. There was false hope that he finally agreed to receive Christ.. H is under tremendous pressure being the lone salt and light there.. So wish that we could be there with her to provide support. 

 

After this episode, I can safely come to the conclusion that I do not want to be left without her.. selfish as it may be, I would be so so sad if she left before me. The romantic version is that we both go at the same time but that is the movie way and rarely happens in real life except for tragic endings. 

 

I am so blessed to have H in my life.

She is such a wonderful woman and a cornerstone in my life. Without her, I don't think that our kids would have grown up to be where they are right now.

We definitely need to have more US time especially now that the kids are older and grandparents are around. 

 

We are truly on the way to growing old together.. like raisins.. =)
