Sitex

Today went to Sitex at Singapore Expo.
Reached there about 1050, and the carpark was already quite full.
It's more or less expected, but again, full carparks are always a pain. :P

Mainly because Karinna wants to get a laptop. She has been looking at some options, like Acer Timeline, MacBook, and MSI Wind12.
Since we're there, walked around for quite a while, before settling back to the store that sells what she wanted.

Yep, we bought the MSI Wind12.
It's 12.1" screensize, 4GB Ram, which is pretty cool, and with Pentium SU4100 processor. Comes with 320GB Harddisk, which definitely is too much for her to use. I think. :P
What is good is that it comes with the free 2nd year warranty, although I don't think the system will have much problem within 2 years.
Battery life span is expected to last for 4-5 hours with the 6-cell battery provided.
And it's already pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium edition.
Wow.
We bought the black colour.

We also bought a GPS. It's Marbella 550+ 4.3" GPS. Had been looking for one, although not in any urgent need for it. Thought it might be good if we want to drive up to Malaysia in future, then the GPS will probably prove its worth.
But with a $190 price tag, we think it's ok to buy today. :P

Oh well, see the $$$ flying away again ... ...

Growing

Today, it's the appointment with the gynae to check on the baby's progress.

Of course, Zyan has grown a bit more. He's now 660g. Slightly more than twice his weight the previous time.
Doctor says: Very good!
His usual comment. :P

Actually, Karinna hasn't really gained a lot of weight. As long as the baby still grow normally, it doesn't hurt for the mum to not gain too much weight.

I probably gained more weight than them. hahaha

As usual, my little camera keeps some bits of memoir for today's moments and news.


Another 17 weeks to go.
Right here waiting for ya boy!

许冠杰 - 浪子心声 & Drifter's Song

Somehow, I've been thinking and humming this song lately.
Don't know why. Of course, it's a fabulous song, which will always be able to bring lots of memories to people.
Perhaps more importantly, the lyrics of the song is so damn meaningful.

命里有时终须有
命里无时莫强求

Somehow, this video has some sort of translation into English with the lyrics. Interesting.

作曲:許冠傑
填詞:許冠傑/黎彼得
編曲:鮑比達

難分真與假 人面多險詐 幾許有共享榮華 簷畔水滴不分差
無知井裡蛙 徙望添聲價 空得意目光如麻 誰料金屋變敗瓦

命裡有時終須有 命裡無時莫強求

雷聲風雨打 何用多驚怕 心公正白壁無瑕 行善積德最樂也
人比海裡沙 毋用多牽掛 君可見漫天落霞 名利息間似霧化

======================================================

Even more interesting, is that there *IS* an English version of the song!
However, the meaning of the lyrics of both the songs are actually different.
Still, the lyrics of this English version, is not so bad itself too.
Cool.

Zyan

We have been calling our baby Zyan. And most likely, it will be that way. :P

And my resourceful wife found this.

Your First Name of: Zyan

Below is just a brief analysis of the first name only. For an analysis and assessment of your full name, see our Name Report service for further details. Remember to give us your review below. Thank you!


- Zyan as a first name gives you a very independent nature, yet you are friendly, approachable, and generous.

- You can be a spontaneous, expressive, and talkative person.

- Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be rather blunt and sarcastic.

- This name incorporates creative, artistic, and musical abilities, and there would be an element of originality in all that you do.

- You like to do things on the spur of the moment without planning or prior arrangements.

- Your spirits are buoyed up greatly by encouragement and appreciation.

- Though the name Zyan creates the urge to be creative and original, we stress through a scattered and emotional nature, you suffer frustration.

- This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, and in tension or accidents to the head.

So fun so fun! :)

Baby Name

Names. Headaches.

The other time, I was blogging about choosing chinese names for my little BabyTay.

I think in the end, for chinese names, we'll check with some other experts.

Meanwhile, the so-called english name also has to be thought of.

Now. What should it be?

We don't want too complicated names, something simple is good.
Like Simple Simon. hahaha

Anyway, a few names came up to my mind.
William
Kenneth
Rayson

I think it's kinda cool to use "Z" as beginning of his name.
Then, "Zyan" comes to mind.
Sort of like a variation from "Ryan".

We both quite like this name.

With that, chinese name can sound close to it, perhaps something like:
郑智贤
郑世贤
郑志贤
郑挚宪

Maybe I'll come up with a table for 2nd and 3rd character, then slowly match.
Then let the expert choose a better one for me. :)

Zyan he shall be!
For now ...

Baby Stuff

Hmmm. Baby is coming.
Oooh. Need to buy more things.
Waah. No enough money. :P

See lah. Ah Boy is coming, then think about it, like so many things need to be bought. Haven't made a list of it yet, so here I try.

1. Baby cot (mattress, pillow ...)
2. Playpen
3. Stroller
4. Pampers
5. Clothings (shirts, pants, socks, and what!?!?!?)
6. Milk bottles
7. Sterilizer
8. Food warmer

The list like never ending, and not in any particular order.
I need more inputs! Argh!

My home has no more space to put things! How!?!?!?!

The Weekend

Weekends have been busy lately.

Saturday, went to Orchard Road. It's been a long time since we go walk walk around Orchard area.
Anyway, we went there to check out some things. Baby stuff.

Before that, went to my chinese chiropratic master to have my bone structures checked. Oh well, this time, it wasn't as painful as the last time I visited him.
Does that mean my body has been adjusting well already? I like to think it that way. :D

Oh yes. We went Orchard.
Went to Robinsons, and then to Takashimaya.
We went to check out prices for some baby stuff, like baby cot, stroller, sterilizers and bottles etc.

Need to get ready for these stuff to be purchased anyway.

After walking to Takashimaya, both of us felt damn tired siah. Age has been catching up on us. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
So took a rest a Mos Burger, and had a snack meal. It's been ages since we last ate Mos Burger too. hehehehe

Came back home, rest. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

On Sunday, brought Precious to see the vet again, for her medical review.
Although Precious is now able to walk more proper, we can see that she still drag her feet sometimes.
The vet says Precious is about 50% recovered only. Continue to put her on steroid, and gave her some anti-biotics as well.
She's been licking her right-hind leg until it seems to be a little infectious.
At least it's good to see that she's able to run and walk in her new style. :P

Well, I guess this coming weekend is going to be similar. Walking and shopping around for baby stuff, and Precious has another review on Sunday.

How similar huh!?!?!? :P
