Enjoying the Family

Recently, I have been able to spend quite a bit of time with the family. I managed to take a day leave per week to spend with Dar, spend time fetching the big 2 for ECA, and time fetching the small 2 kids to or from school. I really enjoyed the time spent with the family. Am I getting old or something else, I dont know why I have been so caught up with work and work.

As Dar says, this is the last chance to "make amends". Indeed...looking at little Noah, when he throws his tantrums (not the tantrums, but the look on his face), or listening to Chloe ask her questions or singing her Lou Xiang. Even watching Nigel and Claire as they devour every meal. It's the little things, no doubt that matters.

Looking at Dar as she struggles recently- She has had palpitations, the pain in the groin due to loose ligaments, swollen feet...I feel sad that I cant help. And she would go that she is feeling useless and so on. To think she actually tried her "stunt"-scooting out for noodles at 5am...I cant imagine what would happen if she cant drive back.

But there are funny moments - I know I shldnt make a joke of it, but she was really worried that the lift in our block would break down. She said she would walk down the stairs...and I asked her whether she wanted Nat's place of birth to be "Level 6 lift landing Blk 2 Toh Yi"...

We are just waiting for Nat's arrival now. I am hoping that he comes soon..he's estimated to be between 3-3.2kg now, so I think it shld be fine...
