Close Encounter of the Fishy Kind

Woke up from my morning nap so took some time to inspect dad's naval fleet...already downsized a lot....heard long ago dad's got mighty naval as well as air fleets (birdies that is). Uncle Valent still commands the army though.

Still having flu and cough. Hope i recover soon.

Yesterday morning mummy brought me to ABC Clinic to see Dr uncle Anthony over my decreased appetite. Dr Anthony advised that its time i start eating some cereal. Umm...wonder if this thing would taste better than milk.

After the checkup i went to great grandma house to stay for the night as daddy was on night shift. Had a relaxing time there till evening when mummy and daddy brought me home.

Luckily, great grandpa still looked as cheery and same as before. Mum! Exaggeration is the mother of all panics okie !

That's all for now, no other pics to share as i gonna zzz...........see ya

A to Z of my Name

Just the other day, dad was discussing with mummy over my name. Apparently a nurse jie jie who goes by a nice name of Wen Xin told mum that a few bbs who go by the name jovial, jovin or something close, are all having similar birth defects.

Also my xiao yi po(4th great aunt) was asking whether was it something wrong with my name and would it be feasible to find a master to re-pick my name.

Dad was not keen on the idea as any change would be soooo characteristically un-Jovial leh. *Faintz....Imagine:

Aovial Ioival Rovial Zovial
Bovial Koival Sovial
Covial Lovial Tovial
Dovial Movial Uovial
Eovial Novial Vovial
Fovial Oovial Wovial
Govial Povial Xovial
Hovial Qovial Yovial

Dad simply cant accept other English names also as there's a reason behind naming me as who i am - Jovial.

In the beginning (god knows only how many months i was in my mummy's womb), there's this debate going on whether will I get any English name. Dad wanted me just having a chinese name but mummy was inclined on the other. In the end dad relented so potential names started popping up for mummy to choose. Names such as Alonso, Luis, Agger, Jamie, which mummy do not like....y? Cos they are all names of players from dad's favourite football club - Liverpool.
Mummy bought books on english names but simply cant decide on one for me.

Then one day dad adopted this english word to be my name, which he hope will reflect how i will be for the whole of my life.

And this is how my name - Jovial - came about.

fever has subsided...homecoming soon :)

my fever has subsided and appetite has improved. Once my mouth ulcers are gone and everthing is okie i should be going home, probably in a couple of days.

These few days, i have many people playing with me to keep me occupied, from the nurse, to other patients' visitors. My mood has been good and during my free time i do read up the sports pages of the new paper and watch la bi xiao xin on dad's laptop...really no bluffing :)
