tomorrow’s dawn

There’s something I would like to announce that would change the course of many young inquisitive pretty girls out there …

I initially thought of keeping the news esoteric, but because I am so affined to my blog like that, and couldn’t contain my elation about it, I decided to share the joy to the world.

I would like to announce that, Emily and I had upgraded our love to a brand new level…

We’ve been bestowed with a gift. Of flesh, blood and DNA. Yes, there’s a kid inside Emily’s womb now, feeding on her placenta. (and I’m amazed that my reproductive system actually worked !) Wheeeee !

We only discovered that during Emily’s ail-stricken days a couple weeks ago. The doctor insisted her to take a pregnancy test when her taiyeema (a Cantonese slang for PMS) didn’t flush out on time. And that’s how we found out she’s knocked up.

Well, the child is now only 4 - 5 weeks old (still swimming), and was too tiny to be seen yet. The next checkup is 2 more weeks away, and we’ll only be getting a full glimpse on how he/she’s doing by then. Hope everything’s fine. *fingers crossed*

So there you have it. Me getting a level up. Promoted to CEO. Leaving behind my cocoon of adolescence and start to embrace the dark force mob of paternity. It’s the aurora of the next chapter of my life.

I promise to the world, if I were to be given a healthy baby (boy or girl, doesn’t matter), I will ensure that he/she doesn’t :

- glide around with a pair of heely shoes.
- scamper and yell like a lunatic inside a hospital ward.
- wail like no tomorrow inside a cinema
- pull a girl’s hair/skirt (if he’s a boy)
- pull a boy’s kukucheow (if she’s a girl)
- study in the same university that Panda went.
- bite my neighbour’s annoying daughter too hard

So much to think. So much anticipation. So much questions. So nervous.

    jasdev - lil me and emily ? i certainly do not hope it’s a twins … else … i’ll be DOUBLE BROKE.

    james - female armpit hairs are prohibited in my family .. so, even if she doesn’t shave, I’m gonna hot-wax it up when she’s asleep.

    the rest - thanks for sharing the joy with me.
