The Day My House was Robbed

I have been living in my 10th Floor Condominium for the past 10 years and I always thought of it as a safe haven from a dangerous and cruel world out there. My unit has been broken into once but at that time, not much was stolen from me since I didn’t have many valuable assets.

Recently there have been a couple of cases of burglary and one happened right opposite my unit. Nothing much was stolen since the owner of that unit has already moved out. My wife then started to feel unsafe about our unit as we have acquired many valuable things since our marriage last year. She kept asking me to fix an alarm or tighten the security but I kept delaying it. I guess I never thought it would happen to us.

On Wednesday (14/11/07) I received a call from my mum as I was leaving office. She asked in a hurried voice if I had locked my door and I answered that I definitely did.

Lucas: The early weeks

They say a baby’s face changes everyday for the first few months. It is indeed true of the saying as I look through the photos I have captured of Lucas. He is going through a “metamorphosis” and each day I look at him, he definitely looks cuter than the day before.

Life for me and my wife have totally changed because of him. We use to be able to wake up at 10 or 11 am in the morning on weekends but now we have to wake up before 8am to feed him, change his diapers and bath him. After doing all that, it’s probably already 10am and we can then clean ourselves which takes about an hour and by that time, we are starving for breakfast. So life has definitely changed and time is definitely more precious for both of us. We are slowly building a routine which helps a lot for both us and the baby.

Anyway I know many of you have been pestering me to post up more photos of Lucas, so I shall not waste your time reading all this boring ranting and get straight to the pictures!
