The MOVE

The inevitable has come, we have to move. There's something wrong with our bathroom. We don't see what, but our neighbour downstairs have bubbles on her ceiling. The contractor came to assessed damage and told us that it needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Apparently it is something that should've been done 10 years ago. Rightfully, our landlord acknowledges this and will be footing the bill instead of blaming us and making us pay for the repair. He's also nice enough to find us a temporary apartment at such short notice. The move took the entire weekend, starting on Friday right up till Sunday.

Pride of the family, loving mother, devoted wife, career woman, genuine friend, a truly special person. Tang Ping Yong is a lucky b*****d. As his brother who has gone thru bitter sibling rivalry and engaged in countless senseless ridiculously amusing "violent fights" when we were much younger, I did not understand why you accepted him. But, I'm very glad and thankful that you did. When you trash-talk each other, we know you're more gracious. When he makes a decision, we know you let him think he did. When you became his wife, we know you could've done better for yourself, but decide to be the best for him. When you bore him 2 beautiful children, we know you gave him the greatest joy he has ever had. It is our fortune to have you join our family. You're like a sister ever since. You will be dearly missed. Rest in peace, Janet.

The name is Ryan...

Finally agreed on a name for our son R yan T ang Han Yang ( 宋汉 扬 ) The only reason I agreed to give in to this name is because of the initial " RT "
