D-day

Sorry for abandoning this blog or so long. Things have been constantly changing and I’ve been trying to adjust to the pace. This post would more than make up for it. :)

2 tests and a squeal later, I’m going to be a dad. Turns out the weeks of nausea my wifey was facing, was actually good old morning sickness symptoms. I’m still coming to terms with this sudden news. It was a little unexpected, but I’m sure my parents are thrilled. News hasn’t got out to all parties yet, so you guys and gals are a lucky bunch.

It’s kinda hard to describe the feeling I have now, but it’s mixed emotions. I’m elated at the thought of a Nawooz Jr. running all around. However, at the same time I’m worried about so many things. Capricorns are born worriers. We like to think ahead and fret over stuff. Thankfully I’ve got supportive parents, whom I know are behind us 100%. Not forgetting our great bunch of family and friends. It’s gonna be a real ride leading up to the next 8-9 months.

Wifey has already decided an English name if the baby is a boy. He will be Cyrus Ong (pronounced SAI-ress). We haven’t really decided on the Chinese name yet. If it’s a girl, then we’ve got 8 months more to decide!! I guess I’ll blog a couple of other names and see how the response is like.

Gotta brush up on my “How to become a Dad for Dummies” knowledge as well. Any tips are most welcomed. Especially from you Yvy. How are things with Kecik? Sorry I haven’t been visiting your blog (and others). I don’t have as much time to chill as I had previously. Hope all are in good health ;-)

That’s it folks. I’m gonna be signing off for now and will continue with unfolding events. Stay tuned…

Sibling Rivalry

I’m just so happy to be back, that I figured I’d take a break from Blogger for a while and focus on Nawooz instead.

As you know, I blog and forum crawl a lot to kill spare time. Today, I read something interesting on Mic’s blog. Head on over to Truly Mic to check out her blog. Her topic about bonding with her elder brother kinda hit a note on my personal life.

Let’s just say, I was never the good and caring brother to my younger sister. My mom worried at times that we would end up killing one another before our teens (tee hee hee). In fact, I used to be such a pest and attention whore. I’d pick on her and generally make life miserable for her. It was worse since I had terrible mood swings and had to babysit her sometimes as my mom trusted US together and not any of us alone. I had to be her bodyguard whenever she had outings with friends. I guess she then noticed that I was there for her and things changed a little. Our relationship as siblings improved over time and I think it’s natural. People do mature to some extent. We still have our differences and squabbles, but it’s usually more out of boredom than spite.

We now communicate more and sometimes after a long day at work, she comes into my room and chat. It’s a nice feeling compared to our bitter bickering in the past, which sometimes escalated to physical levels. I am still the cheeky-as-hell brother and sometimes irritates her to no end, but we both laugh in the end. I’m a clown I suppose.

I truly wonder how many people share a similar level of relationship with their siblings? What about those single child, who never had a chance to share this feeling? I personally feel that they may have lost out on a wonderful thing.

To my beloved sis, if you’re reading this…then:

1) You must have been really bored
2) AuditionSEA must be under patching
3) MapleStory account got hacked
4) GunBound kicked you out of the game for being a n00b
5) Remembered my *cough*kickass*cough* blog

Love ya!
