Precious Baby

X always represent nothing or a representation of the unknown (as in a mathematical equation). But imagine what a double X can do to two eagerly awaiting parents...ok for those who don't know, a double X chromosome in a baby signifies a princess in the making (my wife is already telling me how much I'm going to spoil her...) Yes! we are having a baby girl!!! And as much as they (the girls) will steal attention when they are born, she seems to have taken all the attention even while my wife is carrying her. A close friend said that a baby is like a parasite, "sucking" away the life of the host which in this case is my poor wife.

They say money makes the world go around. This may be true in some sense as everything that we need to do on this planet involves money. If you need to eat, drink, pee and breathe (hello oxygen bars anyone) out comes the "ka-ching" and you're a few ringgit short. The Sultans of Swing talked about "chicks" for free but in our case, it is the baby for free...you wish. My wife's elder brother is genius when it comes to finance and in particular, investment. It's very interesting to hear him talk and give advice. He always says that investment in property is good and investment in vehicles is quite the opposite (I guess I have to think twice before getting my Ferrari hehe).

No I'm not referring to the soon to be 30 year-old pop star Britney Spears, but I'm talking about when baby tries his or her best Bruce Lee impression and kicks my wife! This is not a bad thing though as it shows that the baby is healthy and active. I wanted to share a special moment when my wife was having a nap and I decided to have a father-child talk. As I was telling baby about my day and how mummy and I are so happy that we will see him or her very soon, I actually see my wife's tummy move. No it wasn't because she was hungry but I very much feel that it was baby responding to my voice! I put my hands to my wife's tummy to remove any doubt and sure enough, I felt a distinctive "kick". It was as if baby was saying "Yes daddy, its me". It was a great feeling and further cemented how awesome our God is.
