joel chua ren he

its 30 past 6 on the day after national day, junior is hitting on some pots and pans, THE WIFE is on the comfy chair watching the news, i am just hacking on the computer and enjoing the peace, sort of... at least till number two comes along... should be within these few weeks, at least thats what the dr says.....

we are getting ready for number two... we got back juniors cot and some baby clothes from cousin edbert.... set up the bath and changing station.... even clear out the spare room to make room for the nanny to stay in.... the thing with not being the first one in the family is, you get to inherit loads of hand me downs.... and from the stuffs that we are getting for number two, he should cost us next to nothing..... here we can see the marks left behind by junior on the cot when he was growing out his front teeth....either juniors got strong teeth or the cots got soft wood.... hmmmmm

number twos grandpa, me old man, handed me this paper the other day... like it was with junior, number twos name came with strings of poem... although the two poem looks the same.... according to me old man, those words are calculated through the pen stroke of the chinese charaters... juniors name and number twos name both have the same number of strokes, hence the same four string of poem.... i still cant make out what those four lines mean.... junior is ren jie while number two is ren he... me old man decided that for this generation, they will all share the same middle name.... cousin edbert is ren yi...... the thing with ren jie and ren he is, if you put the last charaters of both name together, you would get jie he.... union or sorts.... talk about deeper meanings... hmm......

i guess little by little, we are getting ready for number two.... frankly with the workload i have at work, i am pretty looking forward to the three days of paternity leave, i might even throw in me own annual leave and take a week or two off work.... of course if anybody asks.... i am spending time with the little one... hmmm....
