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 a secret, but because I am so attached 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 have 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 beginning 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 neighbor’s annoying daughter too hard

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

    thanks for all the well wishes, friends.

    the first news I heard, ironically, was from my gleeful mom. She told me,

    “Dude, 4 weeks. ahakssss!!!”
    “What 4 weeks ? Speak properly lah !”
    “Your wife’s pregnant, 4 weeks.. ahakkkksss”
    “…..”

    I felt so different now, can’t describe. And felt awestruck at the same time.

    Will definitely continue to blog about it. Kids and all that. I’ve so much stuffs in my mind right now …

    Hi there, Came here from twinsmom blog oso. Congrats man. Did someone say cut down the clubbing and night life? I say speed it up while you still can before baby arrives. After that you are grounded for a few years by the new CEO. (the baby).
