Where have we been?

I was just looking at the date of the last post… 1 July 2012. Wow! That's a long time ago.

Since then…

Nathanael was born on 28 November 2012. Happy from day 1, smiling and laughing all the time… well, we like to remember the happy times and forget the hairy ones.
















Very much loved by her sister Abigail, who doted on him a lot. 
She played with him...

And fed him milk...

Helped to put him to sleep...

What more can a father and mother ask for?

I wonder what secrets they tell each other when we are not listening...

And what mischief they get up to when we are not looking...

All in all, we have been very blessed to have 2 wonderful children.

Who are now all grown up...

Well, almost.

At least Nathanael is now old enough to wake his sister up when he wants to play with her.

I can't wait to see what the future has in store.

But I hope the future unfolds slowly so we can savor each beautiful moment.

Daddy, your book looks more interesting than mine...

If only daddy would share his food with me...

Longing for the day...

... When she can be free from the confines of the cot.

Happy Abi

Khoo teck puat hospital

I have just started work after 4 months of maternity leave. It feels strange... Not sure if I remember how to do things anymore. The first thing that felt strange was writing - I struggled to write in straight lines with letters of roughly the same size. It was very untidy indeed. But it's improving after a few days of writing and my colleagues are allowing me to have ample practice.

I am in khoo teck puat hospital for 3 months. It's a beautiful hospital with friendly people. The pace is slower as well, which is nice for a first job after a long leave. But it is very far from where I live, well it is far by singapore standards at least. I take an hour to get to work by public transport. If I had a car it would take about half an hour but it's too expensive to have a car here.

And this is the pond just beside the hospital.
