Starting Early..Good or not??

Its my 1st real day back at work after being in reservist for the past 3 wks. Reservist was really ok just that there was so much time wasted cuz we had to wait for instructions..well...guess that happens everywhere actually..Parkway classes were great...esp the sec 2s...they are a really cute buncha guys...

Marcus is sick again. This time i think he got a throat infection and he kept swallowing the germs down, causing him to get a stomach infection as well...

The feeling of watching him sick really sux...he is such an active boy and was really growing well...tummy coming out but well a boy his age should be putting on weight...Then he had to fall sick...i remember him waking up in the middle of the night asking for milk and 5 mins after drinking the milk, he puked it all out...He then asked for milk later in the morning again and then puked it out AGAIN!!

We went to the Pedae at Marine Parade as we decided that waiting a few hours just to see our regular Dr Ong at TMC would not be too smart. Doc gave him some med and I think he is recovering...but he has lost quite abit of weight...not as BABA (meaty) as last time...:(

Crap...I really wonder everytime that he falls sick, if all these could have been prevented....We have just started him in some playsch but he has fallen sick twice since he started going playsch...I had already anticipated this but seeing him sick just bloody makes it horrible...He does cry when we send him to sch...it also makes me wonder if we r like torturing him by sending him to sch so early...i admit thou that I hv seen some improvement in him with regards to mixing with kids..we also want him to learn how to share and not be spoilt..but do all these factors outweigh the possibilities of him constantly falling sick?? After all, I hv already enrolled him in another kindergarten (a catholic one that teaches the kids about god and love) next year so he will be like starting to get used to a brand new sch all over again next year..oh well...

Hey pp, you may not know it now...but it can be really stressful being a daddy or a mummy...we all wanna be the best that we can be but when things dun turn out well...guess who our parents blame most of the time...THEMSELVES!!! Its just like me now...everybody's like telling me how common it is for a child to fall sick and all after they start sch but even thou i kinda know its common..I still blame myself and question the various decisions that i make...believe me..after all that your parents have done for u (fetching u to and from sch and tuition, giving u hps and all the various luxuries that I never had, taking u guys to countries that I have never even heard b4 for holidays, ETC!!!), when u dun do well in studies or life...trust me man...the first pp they prob point the finger at....is themselves...THINK ABOUT IT...

Heard the song 'Just the Two of us' by Will Smith when I was in the car yesterday aft my p6 class in SK and as I was heading down to WL..it may sound like a funky rap but its damn meaningful...its about a dad giving his son advice about life through a rap...damn damn touching song...go listen to it if u can...and if u manage to download it...send it to me!! HAHA!!!

ok man...will sign off here...see u guys soon...esp since i am back from defending the nation...

God bless u all...
