Ryanne's 1st anniversary

Yesterday, 14 Feb 07 was Ryanne's 1st anniversary.



Hakkagal and myself got off on the wrong foot early in the morning. Apparently, our "5 triple 1"'s battery went flat. She had forgotten to switched off the lights - not the headlamp, just the interior lights. She panicked and woke me up so that I can send her to work. I was grumpy (since I haven't got my cup of coffee) and probably said something stupid. We didn't speak a word throughout the journey to Pasir Ris.



Since it was Ryanne's 1st anniversary, I thought of visiting her at KMS - Hall of Gratitude. So, I dated Hakkagal to visit our daughter on Valentine's day... ok, jokes aside... I couldn't bear to listen to the radio yesterday. You know... all they're playing was love songs plus the CNY songs which weren't appropriate at all for me. Anyway, we visited Ryanne, stayed for awhile, talked to her a little before we left. Didn't do much after that. I watched my rented Prison Break VCD at night - (next season, it'll be DVD man... can't take the quality of VCD liao), Hakkagal, as usual, knocked off by 10pm (kudos to her... had to wake up at 5am every morning to tend to Rayden). It' not until after midnight, yah, 15 Feb 07... that I whisper "Happy Valentine's Day" to her. Dunno she heard it or not... doesn't matter lah.

Dear Ryanne,

I hope you are happy whereever you maybe. Things have changed alot since you were last here. You are a Big Sister now. Papa, together with Gong Gong and Po Po had started a shop in AMK. Things are looking good for us... Wished you were here. Just want to let you know that you are still in my mind and heart, and whenever Papa sing some of your favourite songs to your Di Di, there'll still be tears in my eyes. Hope to see you in my dreams... So long now, Ryanne.

Love you always,

Papa

Master Sky's SMS

Received this SMS from Master Sky:

"Everyone responsible for the way they live. Our current living style, may sacrifice our whole future toward enlightenment. So we must ready, wisely, accept death, change our future karmic, avoid again fall into painful cycle. This life, this time, is what we can do, thru pratice.

When you die tomorrow. You will be what you are now. What is your mind state, what you are now, if you never change and improve, you will die at what you are. This is why we must use this life and time, while we still can do it better, purify our mind stream, purify our basic gen and natural character.

You will only become what your state of mind are when die, whjen you still nonsense you will did and become nonsense. So we must try best to purify and let our nature buddha hood return before die."

For a moment, I was scared, to be honest. I thought he may be hinting that my time's up. I asked, and he said this is a general advise.

Well, let's continue to strive to be a better person, cherish what we have now and be ready to let all go when our time is up.

Greeting Card

Received this greeting card from Aik Eu, a friend from Penang. I must admit that I'm always the one who will try to return a greeting card when I received one. Meaning, I'm not someone who has been diligent enough to send cards to friends. Maybe, I should change for the better.

Hey, Eu! I received your card and thanks for visiting this blog. Next time, include your mailing address behind. You know I'm always losing things like contact numbers, addresses etc...

Thanks for the card and your kind words and warm wishes. I hope to visit you soon, together with my family. Wishing your family and you a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year!

Ray's 5.5mths old

Dear Rayden,

You are 5.5 months old and you weigh 9.5kg. Looking at the growth chart, you are, er... well, ard the 90 to 95 percentile. Phew... still within the curve. Boy, you are heavy! Auntie Renna is feeling the effect of carrying you, you know. She has been complaining of backaches!

You caught the flu bug recently, and we suspect (I think confirm) that you caught it from Gong Gong. He has been unwell lately too. I don't think you enjoy taking the medicine from the look of your expression. No choice lah! Please get well soon!

Love you,

Papa
