The Phantom is cruising...

Time flies... Just a year ago, it was so stormy and my life was upside down... Now, the sky is clearing up and at least, there's a little sunshine...

My new job is great... been busy and coping well... the company is small but definitely growing... the company got me a small car and that really help me get around a bit... Carol and I finally had our very simple wedding and she's now expecting... To top it all up, the HDB offered 341 new 4-rm flats (those next to Tiong Bahru Plaza and those next to Redhill MRT) for balloting... We've sent in our application and hope that we get lucky...

But as with life, even the calmest water has its ripples... and the only ripple is that Carol had lost her job as a result of her pregnancy... Strange how her boss is so short-sighted to have asked her to leave because he can't bear to pay her the 3 months paid maternity leave (new legislation)... too bad... we have reported her case to the Ministry of Manpower and they are investigating into our complaint...

So, for now... I will just have to be the sole breadwinner... again... Fortunately, we had been quite used to a life of poverty by now, so... it didn't really hit us that hard... Besides, this is nothing compared to what we've been thru last year...

Iggi is also coming back soon (2nd April) for his holidays and I can't wait to see him... He must have grown a little... and we're definitely going to have some good quality time together... We even had his whole itinerary planned... where we're gonna go... what we gonna eat... etc... I'm just so excited about Iggi's home-coming that everyone around me is baffled... guess they will never know what this reunion with my son means to me... I'm just so happy...

Iggi's place in my heart will always be a big place... this is because he has simply went thru too much... You may say that I'm so bias (now that Carol is expecting) but I just can't help it... I love Iggi too much... not that I'm gonna love the one that's gonna come less but Iggi is so far away and I only get to see him twice a year... so I guess, absence DO make the heart grow fonder...
Anyway, I am also excited about being a father again lah... Just that Iggi's home-coming seem to take the centre-stage at this point, that's all...

Well, so much from me for now...
