The “Es “ have arrived

Today, marked the official end of 3 decades of "Just Dad" status. Ezekiel Evan (Eze) & Elizabeth Clair (Elly) has finally arrived (a minute apart). Bundled in Blue & Pink, the two bundle of joy joined the family on 9 Jan 19, on their parents anniversary. Gonna get use to the "Grand" prefix henceforth. Their mom is well !! (Hoo-yah !!!) 🙏🏾😁

Sixty + One

Guess today will be my last birthday as "Just Dad". Enjoyed 3 decades of that status from "just another day", routine to surprise birthdays. In two days time, sharing the same horoscope will be Eze & Elly elevating to a new status, prefixed with "Grand".(OMG !! Grand Dad). It's sinking in !!!

Started the day - Breakfast with daughter #2 @ Kovan Market. She couldn’t convince the “Chye Tow Kueh” (Carrot Cake) auntie to provide candles so Google Pixel 3 technology was activated to provide virtual candles on her phone. Thank god for daughter, auntie for the CTK and google pixel 3 for the candles !!! :p) — 

After a day of "quiet time",  had a Bara Chirashi for lunch, enjoying the meal, reflecting on all the drama that had taken place over the span of the working life. Joined the family for a French Dinner at the Racinnes @ Sofitel in the evening. ) Almost had the whole restaurant to ourselves !!!)

The day ended with a piece of cheese cake  (with a real single candle) to mark the last birthday as "Just Dad" !!!

The journey begins for 2019

Whilst the world celebrates the new year, individual charts their path forward. It maybe just another day from yesterday, the new year sees new challenges. New members arriving (soon) to enlarge the family, wedding plans in the pipeline, a step closer to retirement, new job awaits .... lots of anticipation, some with added anxieties. Taking a step forward, hoping for the better as 2019 unfolds.
