How I became a daddyyyyy

Well sports fans,lets go through how I became a dad... no don wori, I will not tell you how I made my baby and also the long 9mths... Jus the last few days will fill volumes....

Wife went in on Tues to prepare for the surgery and so on... so it was a long day of tests and so on... And then on Wed morning at 9am Japan time... 8am Sg time, I went to the hospital and then they wheeled wife into the op room. The ip was supposed to start at 10am, so when 10.10 came and went... sweat started to fall down my face.... "The doctors said that they would only take 10mins to grab the baby out"... so what the hell is happening????

Then 10.30 came and sweat really started to pour... holy shit... what will I do if something happened to her or the kid???... Hmmmmm I can make N very happy.... muahahahahahahahahaha.....

Then came 10.40.... the nurses wheeled out something that was screaming and crying... kinda reminded me of Alien and the thing that was popping out of the stomach.... "is that my kid??? Man she is UGLYYYY!!!! No mistake... I think the memory will be etched into my skull forever and I think the memory will stay in my mind for a very long time.. though not sure if it is a good one or bad one.... hehehehehehe.... I was fumbling to grab some recording device so that I can take a pic of the face.... in the beginning I was just hopin that I could have a reference so that when I went to visit, I could remember the face.... Ugly though it may be... all babies look alike... and if the nurses mixed up the babies, at least I would be able to recognize mine....

Then baby went to icu.... A while later... out came wife... well she survived.... kinda half hearted about her surviving... hahahahahahaha... So she went to ICU too... now I had a wonderful choice of going to baby or going to wife... well better go to wife because she can produce more children and not bother about the child because she's already cost me so much... hehehehehehe

So I went up with wife to her room and she was babbling worse than a babboon.She was babbling about how scared she was the child miscarried... Must have been the meds lah... that woman has never been too strong with pain... Then later when she came to, she wanted me to personally count the fingers on the hand and feet.... She was afraid that if baby had 6 fingers... I would go and kill a mutual acquaintance and if it had less, she would be in trouble....

So I left her to do her babbling... if there was any counting to be done, I would have wanted to make sure she was a girl and did not have any dick instead of being a boy and having a dick short... not short dick hor....

I went to see baby... and beside her was another baby... In fact by the end of the day... in the baby icu, there were 3 babies... 1 was born the day before and 1 was just after my baby... all were girls.... and I was wondering who was the cutest... I wouldn;t mind stealing the cute one.... Unfortunately.... mine was the cutest... I am not joking or speaking with daddy's pride.. butt ugly though my kid is... she is still better looking than the others....

So I kept wifey company and she kept the pain killer company... Imagine... she still needs meds to keep the pain down even after so many days... I was walking downstairs for a smoke the day after I came out from ICU after my brain op.... maybe that's the reason why I am a bit dumb these few days.....

Second and third day was more or less uneventful.. with wife coming out of ICU and the later baby... But yesterday... baby started to turn yellow.... Damn... I was hoping she won't go into full blown jaundice as this would increase cost again... But luckily she seems to be getting better..

Today, I had the shock of my life... Christina has hair on her back!!!! Damn this kid is wierd... better really check her for the mark of 666.... But I think that the hair will fall or grow finer through time.. if not... I will have to give her money for a nose job, a eye lid job and a back brazilian wax... damn this kid is expensive... she better work her asse off and pay me every damn cent before I allow her to get married.....

She also has quite an appetite.... She had a milk meal and then 10 minutes later screamed for more... Well a growing baby needs her food.... But I find that this is the happiest time in life... eat, shit sleep...



Man... baby is a princess... she only does things she wants.

3rd day and she is cranky








Hi sports fans.... here are some day 3 pics... U can see in one more pic that she was staring at me from inside the ICU... damned she is really good at staring..

But she was having a bad day and so was a bit cranky... the good news is that she will be out of the high dependancy ward and staying with her mom till they get out next Fri... one more week away... damn... I gotta start to sell my butt to pay for all these costs....

Actually we recieved a congrats card with the baby's pic and weight and so on.... 49cm..... hmmmm kinda tall man... She does have long legs... but can't really tell about the arms because her tunic is too long and big... But what happens if she is really a T-rex.... long legs but short arms.... ?? Die lah how???

If you are wondering why both will stay so long in the hospital, it is not because mom wants to have a break and so is staying in, but because the hospital wants them both to be properly ready to go home... It is strange... but all the mothers have to fall in at certain times each day, go to a room and give their milk there under the supervision of the nurse.... And it happens that my little moo moo does not really know how to suck properly and though my wife is pretty well endowed (gets a lot of stares but I am not sure it is because she is beautiful)... but she is producing little milk.... damn!!! I've got troublesome women in my life!!!

Anyway, I do miss a certain N... she knows who she is... I am worried about her and also whether she is doing ok... But I am sure she is lah...

I am so a daddy... sob sob sob




Well sports fans.... after waiting for 9 months, the end result of a few moments of pleasure...(Hmmmm was it dat pleasureable??? Don know man.... was under a bit of pressure there... or was it pleasure???)

I present to thee Little Miss Christina Komatsu Yeo. Born on the 27th of May 2009 at 10.28am and weighing in at a hefty (I can attain to it man... I carried her for 10min and arm swollen liao)... 2.5kg.... That is a good weight for a premature baby.... But seriously though.... I think she may be really a bright cookie.... and in fact calling her a bright cookie will be an understatement. Remember??? My complaint that she will stay still whenever my wife talks to me or when I touch her??? She was crying her head off when she was brought from the feto ICU to the maternal ICU for a visit. Since my wife was still down, I carried her.... Oh My God!!! She stopped crying and opened her eyes and look at me and up and down and so on... and was looking intently and listening.... This is not a father's pride or what... if it were any other person's kid, I would have called the Tang Kee (chinese medium) to check for 666 and signs that she is not Damien's (The omen) god child... My silly wife was more interested in counting the fingers whether there were too many or too few... She was afraid that if the little one had 6 fingers, I would take the next flight to Sillypore to kill a fellow 6 fingered friend and if too little, she would be the next in line to blame... muahahahahahaha......

Anyway, bygones bygones... this kid is mine man.... She has my nose and her mother's half F**ked Angelina Jolie lips..... not saying that it is not nice hor.....

Anyway... enjoy...... I am gonna rest for a while... it has been a ride.....

Oooohhhh.... What to do???

Hey campers... You know the previous posts when I mentioned that my daughter would be born on the 13th of June, then it became 29th of June, then now..... it will be tomorrow..... hence the sudden post and at such a late time.... (Hey it is past 9pm here in Japan and I gotta wake up by 6am ok?)

Anyway, last Friday, I was having one of the shittiest days of my life and though I have had many... the shit just kept dropping that day. First.... I was driving home from Compass Point when I was about to vroom into a left hand curve and filter into the lane when the lady in front of me stayed still.... I jammed the brakes..... Damned.... she had so much space to filter and I would even have space.... so a bit shell shocked and perhaps a bit pissed off, I got into my carpark and was backing into the lot.... when crunch!!!!! I ended backing into a damned pillar.... please do not ask me how it happened... I must have stepped into a black hole where the logic of the universe ceases to exist.... Cursing and swearing and cursing and then swearing again, I got home and my wife called me.....

"Dear.... uhhhmmmmm..... the operation will be brought forward to 27th May....." "Holeyyyyy F******ck!!!! How come......how come???? Are you okay...??!!!"

She was okay, but her innards were starting to drop out and if it came out by the normal way.... she would bleed and so the doctors decided to make my life a bit more difficult by asking her to go in 2 days earlier... which meant by the time I reached on Saturday, I would only have a few days to help her prepare for the birth....

So fast forward to today, Tues the 26th, she went to the hospital at the unholy hour of 8am... which is 7am Sillypoer time hor... and started her journey.... Examinations, explanations, exclamations, expletives.... all in.... Then baby will be cut out at 10am tomorrow, but her journey again starts at 6am Japan time... which is 5am Sillypore time... Why so drama? She gotta clear the shit out of her system..(literally hor), then get to wear the DVT socks and the pump and then she gotta get a shot for stopping the stomach from moving and then walk to her doom... oooppsss I mean operating theatre at 9.30. There they will probe and poke her till 10 and cut the baby out... Then they will put her to full sleep and sew her back up....

Now... the doctors forsee that she will still bleed.. As to how much she will bleed, they have no idea... It could be 1000cc, which will not be too bad... or it could be more.... So no matter what or how much she bleeds, she is destined for the ICU for at least a night.... now comes baby.... Since she is 2 weeks and a bit more premature.... So her lungs may not be well formed and since she will not go through the usual virginal tract... her lungs will not be squeezed and so she may have further problems.... So in she goes into ICU too......

Now imagine the interesting dilenma.... both mother and child... in ICU... but both ICU's are not in the same place.... who do I look at more? By the time the day ends... I will be the slimmest dad in the block..... no jokes man.... But instructions from the wife is to make sure I spend more time with the kid..... hmmmm seems like she is sick of it after carrying it for so many months.... hahahahahaha...

Well, wish me luck man.... I sure as hell need it.

Wierd Life

Recently in the papers, there have been reports of loan sharks painting O$P$ (owe money pay money) on cars.... and these cars are not even owned by the idiots who loaned the money. Just unlucky people who live near the Mutha F**king piece of lowlife pond scum who borrowed money and cannot or will not pay. So these MF loansharks target anyone and everyone in the hope that the people affected will be moved to get the a*hole who borrowed the money to pay up.... or take pity on the family and pay for them... no matter what... no loss...

It is so stupid. And what are the authorities doing about it? Considering making the act of borrowing money from a loan shark illegal... So you could be fined (you are out of money anyway) or you could be put in jail.(good mah... free food and lodging and no O$P$!!)

The economy is bad and is worst than what I remember before. The Asian crash, the dot com crash and so on all did not feel so bad. The end was still in sight, but we are in a deep deep tunnel here and we do not think we can see any light for a while.

So now... back to those really inconsiderate people. Those who borrow money and not able to pay.... I know of some who even not borrowing from loan sharks already cannot pay liao.... And I am not talking about the principal... if I were to ask for interest, even that cannot be paid... And I am not talking about energizer rabit here hor.

But seriously though, painting the walls of the person owing, even lift lobbies and so on is already low. Considering that the money they are earning is already good enough. At 10% a week interest, in 10 weeks, you will double your money liao... So lah guys... please do a little good for society lah.... And to the authorities, please also do something about it lah.

Swine Flu and life

Seems like we were all blasted sideways by the rapid onset and spread of H1N1 Swine flu... Its like looking into the cosmos to find the asteroid that will kill us all like the one that killed the dinosaurs and one coming from a completely different direction. But thankfully, since we are all pretty hyped up about a flu pandemic, we are all more or less prepared.. I just hope that it all dies down in time for me to go to my baby's birth. I am transferring through Seoul, and they have the swine flu there, so I am a bit worried.

And what of the stocks of anti-virals that seem to have been stocked up? Are they really enough for the primary care givers? Do we have enough for a huge influx of patients? It already seem like there may not be enough ambulances... last heard from somewhere was that there were only 40 ambulances available... I do hope that if anything happens, there will be enough man... I do not want to go through the SARS episode again as it really took a huge bite out of our lives and also our economy... Imagine... if people did not go out, did not buy things, then how are our businesses going to recover... But then again, people in Sillypore are kinda silly about diseases too. Imagine HMFD... Hand mouth Foot Disease.... a kid has it... has a few days mc because the kid may infect his fellow students and the parent wants to take him or her to overseas for a holiday and or to the playground so that he or she is not so sian (bored in dialect) of staying home.... Good God people!!! How would you feel if other irresponsible parents did the same thing and your child is exposed? How come you cannot think of anyone other than yourself?

It bring me back to a long time ago when I was part of a company and we were having an event.... It was a school, so we were havng a graduation ceremony... I was in charge of the marshalling area where the children were held till it was their time to go up to the stage... A few parents came back to take pics of their children.. but one idiot of a dad was smoking and his smoke could clearly be seen to be flowing near the other students... I asked him to smoke somewhere else and he challenged me to make something out of it... Yea mate.... You wanna kill yourself and your children, go ahead... Why would I want to make something out of it... If you are such a big F**k and had so much power but so little brains... that was your downfall mate.... its got nothing to do with me... I am not getting paid enough...

And this is unfortunately the same for all other parents.... You wanna do something stupid... then please do it with your own kids in your own home... do not bring it to other people mah......

Anyway.... I was planning on sending a letter..... No not to my MP but Jolin Tsai... she is a cutey.... and she has the assets....(I mean it literally and figuratively muahahahahaha)... She stresses that she is pretty stressed about being single.... hmmmmm. I wonder why is this so??? Guys being put off by her being so popular? Being so successful or what? I do not know... But seriously speaking though.... Why are some really pretty girls not attached? It could be insecurity of the guy.... He is afraid that after winning her heart, he will not be able to keep it... Us guys are usually pretty damn possessive... We can do anything and everything we want, but our women cannot even blink at another man.... We are also pretty insecure if we earn less than our mates because it will seem like we are living off them. But guys, these are all misconceptions hor.... Just as long as you do not get cheated like me... My wife told her parents we were getting married when I was hoping that she would tell them she was just seeing a foreigner.... And she told me that her family owned a mountian which was later revised to shares of a mountain and then lastly became a mountain no one knows where it is..... Well.. that is being cheated.... hahahahahaha.....
