Met up and had a pleasant light dinner and coffee with my lifelong friends.

Day 12 - friday

Sleep over and new mall discovery in hillv2. This is the hilite of the day. 

Work is routine. Hence looking forward for after work time with my boys.

It came via the form of a new mall in hillview 2.

Day 11 - thursday

Trying dinner out and movie time.

Day 10 - wednesday

Taking its toll.

Wifey and I decided to cut short their trip!

Came home after office with cranky mood. Maybe the work maybe the travel maybe with all of these things.

Had a minor spat with my eldest over house chores. Cooked dinner and rested over concert you tube of nievera.

Caught up with skype at home with wifey and baby and before i knew it the day is over!

No golf invites so domesticated Mark I am today. Before i went to bed had a gastric attack. Could be due to spicy chicken and diet coke. 

Day 9 - tuesday

The day started slow but picking up pace very quickly.

Its noon now and after responding and getting some work done at the office, wifey is now reconsidering to come earlier than the planned one month.

From the looks of it, it seems the travel date would be cut short by a full week! 

Day 8 - monday

Bad news after bad news with expectant of good to follow later in the day.

After a sluggish monday I pulled myself out of bed and still managed to come to work. But as soon as I decided to get the car fixed, the repairman brought in a bad news. 

My tire puncture is beyond repair. I ask for decent explanation. It made sense. So there you go, a 180 dollar freak occurence.

Day 7 - sunday

Game winning stint!

This is the cap of the day! It started with golf in the early morning. Church followed  soon after. Fellowship with church bros and by the time the day is over I was too tired to do anything else. Rested somewhere 6pm and coached a basketball team from 8 to 10 PM.

Day 6 - saturday

Domestic chores.

Mostly the theme for today. Woke up late, had brunch with my eldest and drove my 2nd boy to school.

Cleaned up the house till 2pm. Rested and drove again my boys to band rehersals! While "killing time" swung by an IT shop to check on whats latest and 2nd hand iphones.

As I write this entry its 530pm. Whered the time go????!

Contrarian thinking

Chatting with my boy

1. In business stocks - be greedy when everyone is fearful and be fearful when everyone is greedy.

2. In sports - one step ahead of your opponent.

3. In life - do what extraordinary people do.

Day 5 - friday

A wife is the light of the house!

Ive been living in darkness for quite a while now. As soon as the routine sets in its like Im a mindless guy going thru the motions of everyday without a life. A purpose and a direction.

Today was an example. After having my morning concalls at work I ended up skipping lunch and worked out. Still for the lifeless soul of me I felt inadequate. 

Like life is snuffed out of my chest. No heartbeat. Just a walking talking head with not being certain if I am being coherent.

Aaah one week has just passed and Im this? Unless change in the routine occurs, I dread the next three!

Day 4 - thursday

By this time my emotional attachment to my wife and baby starts to normalize. (A.k.a sinking in).

A conference call later tonight would break my cooking routine. Decided i will just take out dinner for my boys.

After the concall im thinking of playing boardgames or reading a good book to de stress. Maybe a ride (granting haze free) would come in  handy. Lets see.

Day 3 - wednesday

Dinner is sweet and sour pork. All time favorite of my boys!

And so there goes my day. Like a chaff in the wind. Just flew by! Workwise just being a workhorse, wrapping things up.

At the end of my day, cooking for my boys becomes a joy to behold.

But wait, towards the early evening my golfer friends invited me to hit some balls. With some reluctance, I obliged. A 2 hr session ended in midnight, with after range fellowship of prata and coffee.

By the time Im in bed its past midnight already. Oh well, contrary to what people think " I dont have all the time in world!"

Day 2 - tuesday

Woke up very early to pick up my boss. Everything went according to plan. No major issues at work. Just cruising the last quarter of the year. Slight problems here and there..no house is burning theme whatsoever.

Went home early to cook japanese menu and prepare for dinner. Promised my son to treat him after last nights small arg.

During dinner prep, decided to teach my son how to fish. He agreed. Just at the beginning part another miscue happened! Darn the half and the one half!

Well managed to recap the night by enjoying an ice cream. Came home and still too early to bed 1030. Decided to watch military movie in the hope to make me sleep. Bad choice!

An officer and a gentleman proved too good to pass up. Ended up finishing the movie. Bed at 130am? Naaaah, need to craft a poem for my wife. Miss her and our angel immensely!!

Day 1 - monday

Work went on as usual. Prepared my presentation for my boss visit. Nothing crucial on the horizon. Monday blues if you might.

Asked my 2nd boy what would he want for dinner.  He gladly obliged when I cooked his fav pork rib soup. Asked my first son to buy light and hose replacement. Miscommunication even with just 1 generation apart!

Decided not to attend work call at 10pm. Too late and too stressed from the argument with my boy. Ended up watching sicario movie. Left the movie house heavy hearted.

The consolation - happy ending! Wifey rose up to mediate between my eldest and me. Reconciled at last!! Wonderful letter. Rebuked with love!

One month without my boy and wife

I have not done this before.

Yup. And like all experiences in life, I take this with one eye to the future and another at the past.

The past is a good teacher. But a very poor master.  Its good to look for tell tale signs why we behave the way we behave.

But if we dont get over bad ones and champion the good, we will forever be in a quagmire. Always reflecting. Never moving.

Day 1 is a breeze. As soon as my wife and baby boarded the plane went thru the routine sunday. Then golf. Then dinner. Then driver. Then counsellor. Then maid...
