joshua

i started giving this lad tuition..
it all started like this......

i was out with my army friends when we decided to have our dinner at long john, ps.. as i was queueing to buy my dinner, i turned and saw this mother and son sitting just behind me.. as i looked closer, i realized it was joshua, the boy in the pic above.. it took me like 5 secs to react because the last time i saw him was more than 2 years..that was us like 3 years ago (2005).. haha..

yes.. we first met when i was attached to st anne's church kindergarten.. at that time, i knew a little about his family background... i started caring a lot for him.. but when he was in k2, wasnt as close.. (probably that was when i know my god-son)

chatted with him and his mum very long while my friend had finished their dinner and was chatting away, just to wait for me.. haha.. (pai seh~) he mum told me so many things about him and it made me so eager to help him.. we exchange contacts and soon enough, i was asked to teach him..

and that fri, i taught him and accompanied him do his homework from 7plus till almost mid-night.. well, i was asked to stay over.. after hesitating so much, i agreed and he was so happy..

the next day, he followed me out.. i promised to bring him out since he worked so hard the previous day and even scored 100% for his chinese spelling...

i believe you can do it!

long time no see

nothing beats a great day with your loved ones . and yesterday was no better than any other days after that day he came over my place. i really miss him. yesterday, friday, i prepared myself to visit my long-time-no-see Sotaro and anthony accompanied me. we supposed to blade there. here's the thing. last week, i planned to visit Sotaro but it rained. so i had to reluctantly canceled it. then again, when we were ready to set off, the sky grew grey, and then dark, and same went my heart, down sinking. nothing i could have done than to pray to my loving Heavenly Father. as we set off rollar blading there, we suddenly were able to see the sky turned blue and i was so grateful. i can tell you, for the past few days it rained, today was not spared. but i faithfully believed that it was through the hands of God that held the rain back. THANK YOU GOD!!! we reached punggol early, so anthony stayed downstairs while i went up sotaro's house to meet him. when i was just outside his house, ...

a special birthday for a special boy!

 the day i anticipated eagerly was finally here. i brought Jos out after awaiting for this opportunity since months ago. just needed time and space to spend with him because we've got so much to talk about, and believe me, you can talk to him like an adult. and since it was his birthday, i took the opportunity to seek permission to take him out for a breather.   i met him early the morning and brought him out for breakfast first. Kopitiam's half-boiled eggs, siew mai and hot breverages.    we then set off the our destination. it was a surprise for him so i didnt reveal our directions or alighting point. he just followed obediently.   and then, before we knew, we found ourselves 15 levels above ground. :) i took him on a journey to see life from a different perspective. and we were looking down from a bird's eye view.   cheese! so many things we can see from the top. it was just a very different experience.   not ...

time please dont fly

as time flies, people grows bigger and older... well, at times, how we wished that we could stop time and admire or appreciate people dearest to you... and as parents, i believe you all feel the same as me too... hoping that the child you are carrying in your arms will always be in your arms and not to grow up... but we cant... and here goes my boy i knew since he was k1 (2004)... i never fail to attend his birthday party he invited every year... i've seen him grow since then... and i meant it... grow, Grow, GROW!!! and today, i saw him with his sister in the library... haha... and as usual, i would cover his eyes from the back and asked "wo shi sei?" which means who am i... and without failing, he would guessed it, let alone today... haha... look at his belly... haha~ =p so, by looking at the next photo, hasnt he grew? that's him in 2004... well? . . . . . . . . haiz... one more week left of school... not that i wont have any more income, you think i care? i know ...
