Another Highlight Of My Life… Aug-Sep ‘06
Work… let me skip that part of my life, since it’s going to be another monotonous bit. Anyway, I’m on 2-weeks recall for ICT (InCamp Training, part of the post national service annual obligation), so I’m having my break from work (a true break… when I’m totally uncontactable).
Family… Lil sis not doing well with her studies and Dad is getting the I’m-such-a-failure-as-a-father self-infliction on his moods. Did some counselling on sis and dad, on separate sessions. Tried to get them to understand the other party’s thoughts. “Things aren’t as easy as we think, so why make them harder by complicating them?” Sis finally got her punishment by getting grounded and by having her mobile phone confiscated until she shows improvement in her grades.
Wife… We’re finally into the next step of trying for a baby. We’ve been seeing a fertillity specialist and this week, Sunsun’s receiving IUI procedure after a period of hormone treatment. For those who aren’t familiar, IUI is a procedure to help increase the chances of getting pregnant by improving motility of sperm. I’m starting to get the daddy-fever again… 
Sunsun asked if I’d like the lab to isolate the motility to get a boy or girl, I said no. I’d prefer to be surprised and find out if I’m destined to father a son or daughter.
Friends… Met some friends after having disappeared for a while. Found out there’s been some fall-out between what’d been ‘best-of-friend-forever’ to others. Sometimes things just happen, and we’d just have to make do with what’d happened and move on.
Others… I’m in a nonsensical obsession for watches, mainly those of automatic movements. Since I lost my Tag Heuer (the one I saved for 2 years since my first pay check) during a departmental team-building outing, I’ve been surfing the net reading and researching on the functional and aesthetic values of branded automatic watches. From these seemingly endless frenzy that I thought I’d lost years ago, I now noticed a few new models added to my want list… namely Rolex Sea-Dweller/Submariner, the OP Luminor Chrono 1950 Flyback, and the Sinn 356 Sa. Dribbles (Someone pls snap me out of this!)
