It's been almost 3 years since my last post and at a blink of an eye, I am finally 28 years old.
(I'm probably writing this because I am wondering why am I still working at 1am on my birthday)
So many things has happened since...
The first major thing that happened since 2012 was that I graduated. It has been my lifelong dream to be free to do what ever I want. I remembered the bitter quarrel and internal struggle I faced in Uni when I had to decide whether or not to listen to my mom's wish to stay in Sg to study for my exam or follow my babee to KL. Tears were shed and I'll never forget that pain and anguish. It was only out of deep love and filial piety that I made the tough decision to stay back in Sg. But it has since hardened my resolve to complete my duty as a son and now I can finally do what ever I want.
The next big thing that happened to me was that I got my first job. It was the key to my freedom. I am now not financially dependent on my parents and no longer do I have to do as they say. I have finally become a man.
Then came the big day. The day that me and my babee have been dreaming of for 8 years. We got married. It was a dream come true for me. This is what it truly means to be living. It was my one true goal that kept me focused all these years and to have finally achieve it... The feeling is indescribable. Our relationship didn't change drastically. In fact, I think it matured. We grew even more in love with each other and are now inseparable.
Finally, to top it all off... I am going to be a Dad. Thinking about it and even writing it down still seems surreal to me. Do I have what it takes to be a great Dad? How will my kid(s) grow up to be like? What will they learn from me? How will they think of me?
Everyone is shaped by their childhood, just like how I feel that I am more family oriented because I have seen how hard my mom slogged, only to miss out on her kid's growth (at times). At the end of it, what kind of childhood will they have and how will they think of me when they are 28 years old?
Gosh.. What exciting times ahead. I can't wait for baby to come out and welcome her to the world. *Hi baby!! I can't wait to see you!
Will you also be writing blogs when you are 16 years old? How would you feel if you were to read your Dad's blog only to discover that I have been through what you are going through? Will you also dream of leaving this nest that me and your mom have built with so much love for you or will you think of us when you are with your bf or husband?
God has given me many blessings: Good family (Ma, Daddy and tiack), my lovely wife, and my first kid. I pray that he will continue to be there with us in good and the tough times and I look forward to the many memories that I will build... with my own hands.
Happy Birthday to me :)

Features an abstract- floral digital artwork drawn by me in photoshop. This layout is appropriate for all genders. The grandiose design is laid freely on a simple canvas and they complement each other pretty well. The sudden gradient change is applied to create one contrasting element. I created a 3D effect on the vines and they seem to jut out of the yellow canvas.
Why the name? The design, as you can see, is abstract and it gives a double-vision feel, therefore, Esophoria, a tendency to squint your eyes inward to create a double vision.
