THE LAUNCH OF THE MILLENNIUM
7.42 a.m.
Office
Was about to sms a buddy, James, to wish him good luck for today’s business presentation and also to check out how his pregnant wife is doing.
He sms-ed me instead: Standby for launch! Today is the day!!
Woah…. Speak of the devil! Choy! Choy! I mean, Praise the Lord!
Like my friends always say, if you want to spread news, be it birthdays, weddings, change of phone numbers, etc just tell Gina. She would tell the whole world. *Jeng Jeng Jeng* Not to worry. I spread only the ethical stuffs.
I sms-ed Pilot Boy, Ann, Shine and Wai Ye, the old #Marquis gang which used to hang out together.
Pilot Boy: Hehe, launch already or not? Am on the way to the airport. Hope to hear good news soon.
So, Baby Jesse is a Virgo. My favorite starsign. Most of my ex boyfriends are virgos (We parted amicably). I will get along very well with Baby Jesse! Erm.. ain’t no paedophile. Didn’t mean that.
That is IF James even let me go near him as I am such a bad influence. I am cynical, blunt and what he can’t stand about me most - I am a wet blanket.
I am keeping my fingers crossed and pray for safe delivery for both mom and son. And hope daddy James doesn’t slip into comatose after witnessing the bloody event (Pun intended).

The first time we met 6½ years ago:I would probably influence Baby Jesse to be like me and wetting the blanket as well. (This one no need to teach - all babies do that.)
James: Hi.
Self: Shit! You look like my dead uncle!
When we surveyed for ideas to renovate his condominium at a friend’s house:
James: I love that wooden flooring!
Self: Termites!
When he showed me his condominium (the one with a pool looking more like a septic tank rather than a swimming pool – with a dead frog to boot):
James: At least it’s airy here.
Self: Probably that is the only consolation of staying here.
He was about to throw me off the 10th floor if Mae didn’t stop him.
I am keeping my fingers crossed and pray for safe delivery for both mom and son. And hope daddy James doesn’t slip into comatose after witnessing the bloody event (Pun intended).

Hello people. The Bible says in Genesis…In the beginning, God created light and darkness…
James is light, and I am darkness.
He created his blog, then he created mine. Hahaha.
I haven’t seen such excitement in welcoming a baby before in my life – this involved the entire bloggers community.. kinda cool eh?
Sashi – there is a pic of Mae and James somewhere in the blog – go figure!
Jonnie is #marquis? I hope we didn’t treat you too harsh!

As much as we wanted to re-live it, Ann. I don’t think so. It was a good memory, though.
