ethan's first month

celebrated baby ethan's first month.

finally have my own camera so from now on blog's going to be PACCKEd with pictures.

(only just if and when i get the time, and find a damn way to upload pictures fast!)

no red eggs though!
but it was heartwarming.
everyone's all grown up now, and for the first time,
i saw the gleam in a parent's eye.

kelvin's all grown up in his army do, giving a red packet to the new proud daddy.
and granny just looked back at him, with such pride at how her grandson's grown
into a filial boy, handsome and healthy.
and how her granddaughters sit together at the same table,
all grown, bright and pretty.
and when we said our goodnights i felt a tear in my eye i fought back.
i miss my granny, the fond memories of when I use to stay with her
and how my aunty took us out last time
(with her exboyfriend DONALD duck)
and young uncle, today proud father,
whom i used to pick at his leg hair.



because home is where the heart is.

Thought of the Day

NO ONE IS SO GOOD THAT HE HAS NO BAD IN HIM, AND NO ONE IS SO BAD THAT HE HAS NO GOOD IN HIM.

We human beings are a complex lot. Many religious writings and great literary works are based upon the constant struggle between good and evil that goes on inside every one of us. This struggle is as old as mankind itself. Yet, while we recognize our own inner struggles, we are often quick to condemn others. Psychologists tell us that there is no such thing as a bad person; there are only bad behaviors. Make it a point to look for the good in yourself-and in others. Nurture the good character traits and work on the ones that may need improvement. Like plants in a garden, the character traits that grow strong and productive will be those that are fed, watered, and weeded regularly.


Pass the fertilizer?

creep

ive fallen back to square one,
into the silence and isolation
of forgetting familiarity
and being forgotten.
i miss making people proud.
or happy.

i want to get away.
to a place i don't need luggage.

i miss being carefree
