Silver Wedding Anniversary
My wife and I just celebrated 25 years of marriage, a Silver Wedding Anniversary!
25 years ago, we were a happy go lucky and career minded young couple.
25 years ago, we were a happy go lucky and career minded young couple.
Now, happily married with one teenage son and an old beagle dog......ha..ha..
We started our marriage life in a condominium and now living in an intermediate terrace house.
Naturally, marraige life has its ups and downs and all sort of challenges too but we manage to survive all of them and we are pretty happy with our life today.
Though recently, the newspaper reported that many married copules said that given a second chance, they would not have married their current spouse.
Well, I will marry my current spouse without any doubts or second thoughts..!
So a Happy Silver Wedding Anniversary to My WIFE & I..!

Happy New Year - 2011
A decade just flew by and time really flies......!
In the last 10 ten years, I saw my only son graduated from Primary school to secondary school and now in Polytechnic for a 3 years diploma course.
I was retrenched after working for 18 years in a local bank but managed to continue working a few more jobs before I retired from the commercial sector.
I explored opportunities in the Internet world and made some small money so the business model is proven and I will continue pursuing it in the coming years.
I am happy that I managed to work as a Lecturer in Temasek Polytechnic as it was my ambition to teach and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am also glad that I fulfilled my parents wishes or requests. I took my father to visit China and I organised a one big family reunion with my immediate relatives in Penang; commissioned a photographer to take lots of family photos during the gathering in the hotel.
My dear wife also retired recently and has found an exciting life outside work with her new found girlfriends and her hobbies like gardening and calligraphy writing.
We are happy and we also managed to survive without having a maid for a year already.
Jean returned to Philippines after working for us for 12 years and I must give her some credit for helping us bring up Jason too especially during the early childhood days.
Jack, our Beagle, is still going strong and is going to be 13 this year.
Well, I think I could not ask for more other than good health and safety for the family in the coming years.

Blood Donation
During the recent blood donation drive held at Singapore Polytechnic, Jas decided to donate his blood for a good cause.
We are proud of him.
I tried to donate my blood when we held a blood donation drive in my previous company but I was on medication for my high cholesterol condition so I was not accepted as a donor.
SO I am glad Jas did it ....
They gave him a certificate as a small token of appreciation and 2 weeks supply of iron tablets.

Here is a slide show of the photos taken from SkyPark that afternoon:
Public can purchase tickets to go up to the SkyPark.
