Dear Snowball


I felt so happy for you when I read your post. Seriously speaking, all of my male friends who has daughters, tend to have soft spot for them somehow. Probably because we’ve been through NS, so we know how tough it would be. Because of that, we felt that boys should be more tough and independent compared to girls. I know of many fathers who simply treat their daughters like princess lor…Jia You!

I was watching TV one night when i heard this conversation…


DS: Honey honey, can u make neh neh (milk) for me?
DW: Can you wait, I’m busy now.
DS: U dun make neh neh for me, how am i supposed to grow up???
DW: Dumbfounded!

I totally agree with what you have mentioned. A good father may not be a good husband. In this aspect, i must say i failed miserably so still trying to put in effort to make the relationship better. But i must say that with the current education, financial stress etc that most parents are facing, sometimes we just overlook this area because we are all so held up by responsibilities. By the way i have been coaching my P5 girl since P1 for all subjects except Chinese outsourced. i guess because of that my wife bear with me abit lor.....

When you become insurance agent, property agent etc, you must view yourself as a business owner…dun ever think as try because when u try , u will only get average results. Interested and committed are two different things. Alot of people interested in getting slim but how many are committed to exercise at least 3 times per week? Think as a business owner, be prepared to commit, to get to where u want to be…because i can only say you will sacrifice alot of quality time with your family as a property agent…and to me that’s is most precious…so make sure it’s justified in terms of returns!


Just my humble opinion

As a father of two, one daughter one son, would like to express some opinions. There can be many reasons why this thing is happening. But I guess if you have tried talking to him and it does not work, then maybe can consider other method. I came across one article recently that mentioned that daughters are the father's mistress in the previous life, just find it interesting. From the articles, i assume you have 2 young daughters. Maybe can try to tell him that daughters long very much to have more quality time with him, they do feel neglected when he's not around etc.....and see how it goes...I dun know about other men, but i seriously have a soft spot for my daughter although i dun make it obvious. Afterall we are all human, we will have some soft spots for certain people or certain things. if possible, try to get them more involved with the kids....for example fetching them from school etc. I have been fetching my gal since K1 till P5 now after school. I seriously find it very taxing with a full time sales job because the timing can be 3pm, 4pm or 5pm because school bus can't fetch staying back pupils, but whenever I see her happiness when she sees me waiting there for her, my heart just goes out to her....I am not an expressive person, but I feel very very happy inside my heart when I see her smile the moment she sees me.....thats why no matter how busy I am, I tried to fetch her because I don't want her to feel disappointed...Over the years, because of this bonding, whenever I goes out, she will call me and ask me how come 10pm i still haven't come back. i dun it nagging at all, in fact I feel very happy inside my heart that my daughter misses me when I am not at home...thats also why until today I did not take up any regional post no matter how attractive it is...Just for info, for my son whose in K2 taking school bus home, tried to wait for him downstairs for school bus before, first question he ask me how come KaKa never fetch him? I :slapshead: As long as the bonding with the kids improve, everything will just fall in place accordingly....

Dear psle2011mum


Thank you very much for your generous detailed sharing in the preparation journey for PSLE. It was simply amazing! Your posts have really inspired me!

Looking forward to your many posts in future!

Hi Everyone


I will be registering my DS next year for 2013 P1 intake. Having a headache all this while. My DD is in Kuo Chuan - P4 this year so DS is guaranteed a place in Kuo Chuan. Problem is my DD & DS will be in different sessions in 2013 although in the same school. In addition, Kuo Chuan will be in the holding school in AMK during 2013.

I’m actually considering Catholic High which is within 1km from my house but it’s the balloting chances that is very slim for the past few years that has caused some balding for me! In addition, there will be more than 1000 units of new families staying within 1km from CHS because of Clover condo & Natura Loft DBSS going TOP very soon. I strongly believe there are some percentage of families who bought these two properties because of close proximity to CHS. Of course if my DS can get into CHS, then both will be in am session and CHS is indeed a very good school in terms of academic & culture, not forgetting the IP & the affiliated secondary school.

Nevertheless I have not decided yet, if by the time comes, if I still have some hair, then I will apply Kuo Chuan BUT by then if already complete balding caused by CHS stress, then I will apply CHS since NOTHING MORE TO LOSE!!!

Very sorry to hear that.


I strongly believe that no matter how tough it gets, you will be able to overcome all obstacles and emerge stronger.

Take very good care of yourself and JIA YOU!!!

I would like to share a real life story…


I have a very good friend, who share the same primary school, secondary school, same poly, dropped out together, went to same JC etc.
We went through a lot of thick & thin together. What touches me the most is that he is always there for me when I am down. If I ever called him to take urgent leave to accompany me bec I needed someone to talk to, he always replied, " OK, wait for me at your office, I will come & fetch you" with no questions asked!!!

To cut story short, he was about 25 years old then, having a GF of >5years, a plain Jane girl. He got to know a rich man’s daughter, dumped his current GF, and be with the rich man’s daughter. This new GF has many surprises for him everyday! She can booked a trip without his knowledge & asked him to take urgent leave and off they GO! I could sense that kind of excitement in his life then. Soon, he’s was getting married soon, already sent out all invitation cards, looking forward to his marriage.

Had lunch with him one afternoon, everything was fine. The next day morning, his sister called me telling me my good friend has commited suicide in his own house! I was totally shocked & rushed down to his place. I saw him lying there motionless…After some investigations, I found out that he was having EMA. If i’m not wrong, he was ‘exposed’ that very night I had lunch with him. I believed that night was the worst day in his whole life! His world came crashing down! At that point of depression, when his wedding is just next month, I guessed he could not take it anymore but to choose this way of relief for himself in the middle of the night? Leaving his parents & his sister… Everyone cried buckets for him. Until today, I still didnt really know what happened on that tragic night! How I wished he had called me at that momment! Things may have changed!

I guessed we can pay a very high price for a moment of folly! Until today, I still miss him very very much…Sometimes I imagine him having a complete family by now , just like me, and we can go out together as families…
