First Great Grandson of the Lee Family

Congratulations Marcus and Liz!!! (Minniemoose: you left out Marcus!!!) I quote Uncle Hua "Baby is the first Great Grandson of the Lee Family" Some of you must be wondering why since Evelin has 2 sons and Adeline has a daughter so why is Marcus' baby the first Great Grandson? Come come, let Teacher An Shii give you a simplified version of Lesson in Chinese Tradition Part I. Evelin's and Adeline's kids do not have the surname Lee. Their mums are married out of the family and hence will not carry the bloodline of the Lee family. Marcus is born to a Lee son and he's the first Grandson for that matter too! In olden day Chinese, the first born son to the eldest son is also considered the youngest son. Confusing?? Simple: Marcus can also be considered Grandpa's and Grandma's youngest son!!! :s Yeah I know......gosh huh? Marcus is your cousin/brother but also your uncle??? *Faint*

Minniemoose: I can't do whatever you told me to do (ie fly SQ to somewhere) because this is company paid ticket which means they'll put us on the cheapest flight out of Kenya. To fly SQ, we'll have to buy from 2 different airlines which will add to the cost of the ticket compared to one which flies out of Kenya like Emirates or Qatar. Otherwise, would have chosen Cape Town or Jo'burg since we're never been there :( You can imagine the extra cost - flying to Cape Town will cost about USD700++ from Kenya. And how much is Cape Town to Singapore? You do the math.

Anlynn: You *heart* which word? Pole pole?? My God...it's superbly overused!!! You tell them to drive faster, they tell you pole pole. You say why haven't they done something. They say pole pole. You get irritated with the jam, they say pole pole.

Nelson was unwell over the weekend. We suspect he might have had an appendicitis in the works so made him go on ceporex + panadol immediately. He's much better now. Actually I think he's completely well now because he's gotten very noisy again. When he's well, he's very active and makes a lot of noise. He talks ALOT! When he was sick for 2 days, the house was soooo quiet! So yeah, we had a lazy weekend. Was busy waking him up for his medicine and making him food.

Oh a good news though!!! I clinched a big business deal on Saturday! Well, it's a big deal to me. I sold 20 pieces of clothings to a Kenyan girl and we spoke about making her my dealer in Kenya! She's extremely interested in the idea because it complements her jewellery business which she has been running on a very small scale for 4 months now. So I'm crossing my fingers that this move forward will work out. She wants to wait for her items to arrive before we proceed. I mean I totally understand the fact that she needs to see the quality of my products. And next week, I'll be meeting another potential client who also wants to be my dealer in Kenya. Wish me LUCK!
