Everyone has a life story. This is my attempt to start mine in this journal for the year 2007.

Original Entry Sept 29, 2008 (October 09, 2008)

[China's Melamine Scandal - People can be so EVIL!]

September 29, 2008

It’s 9:50 am, I was laying in bed after feeding baby Tristan, and I couldn’t sleep! So I decided to start up a journal entry again. I wonder how long it will last this time, especially when I don’t have much time to anything these days. Let me see, what is there to talk about…

Black Monday! Yeah, what happened? I heard on the news Wednesday morning here in Bangkok, quoted worst stock drop ever?! Wow that must suck. How does this affect me? I really don’t know! I know it doesn’t help. My aunt has a loan with one of those financial institutes in trouble, I wonder if she can refinance and get a better rate or something? Anyone know?

What is going on with the world these days?

Bangkok with its political crisis, China with its melamine poisoning scandal, I say scandal because for sure someone did this on purpose (the news confirmed this already - my deepest regards for all the victims, especially ones who lost a child). Oh! It’s 11:28 am by the way, I just had brunch and my stomach aches because the food was bad (don’t know why I still manage to eat it).

I just turned to look at Tristan; he’s sound asleep right now. Actually, he’s more like making sounds while asleep. Hahaha! He’s grunting and turning, not much, but every once in awhile. He needs to be fed in about an hour. He is the most on time baby I know (but on the other hand, I don’t know that many babies). I swear, like 20 or so minutes till 3 hours after his previous feeding, he will wake up and cry! Babies must have this inner alarm. Basically, crying to let us know that it’s almost time for him to feed, so warm up his milk NOW!

When he is asleep, he looks so peaceful and that puts a smile on our faces every time. Of course parents are bias, but I would like to say that he is just so adorable. He brightens up my day when he stares at me and follows my movement.

It is such a miracle, LIFE that is! How humans develop, how nature constructed us to grow, form, communicate. I mean even his cries are all developed for a purpose. If a baby didn’t cry or move as powerful as they do (and yes they have a lot of strength for their size)…

My wife just woke up from her daily rests; she needs them because without these naps, the baby wouldn’t have any breast milk to feed.

Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah! The cries constructed to be LOUD (and at times scary), to basically get our attention, even if parents are deep sleepers. I’m sure this natural alarm can make everyone in the house wake up. The baby is saying FEED ME!

Okay, since my wife is awake, I’ll take a little nap before the baby wakes, and maybe I’ll continue later…

Now it’s 3:30 pm, the time between the above phrase and this sentence, I've gotten up several times to run to the bathroom, I don’t remember what I had, but it’s causing me massive diarrhea (Okay, sorry! Too much info).

Before I started to write again, I was playing with Tristan. I know he is too young to be cooing, but I know he is doing exactly that, COOING! Every time it happens, I had wished I had the video camera handy. So next time…

I lost my train of thought, Tristan suddenly cried. It’s already time for him to take a bath anyways, its 4:20 pm.

He’s now had his bath and is lying in his playpen, hiccupping. We’re just gonna leave him be and wait for it to stop. That’s what is recommended by pediatricians, although Grandma says the differ. She wants us to give him some water; we do from time to time, but only a little sip, like 10ml.

My wife asks me what I’m writing. You know what? I think its time for me to stop. This entry is getting too long; therefore, we’re going too have to wait for another day.

However long that is?

See ya,

True

Entry for August 24, 2008 - Baby Tristan!

[We caught a smile. Baby Tristan, Day 09]

Dear Y!360 Friends,

I know I haven't been online for a long while. I've jumped ship and have been playing with Facebook and MySpace.

How is everybody?

So, most of you should have already know, since I 'blast' it. My wife and I are now officially parents. This parenting position is a 24 hour job. I have barely had any sleep this past week.

Okay, let's just get to the point. I wanted to write this blog so I can show a photo of my newborn baby boy. Flickr sucks, so I didn't post anything there. But if you have MySpace or Facebook, you can visit mines, to see more photos.

MySpace

Facebook, I have no idea what's the profile address, but if you search, T [space] T [space] Lau, you'll find me.

Thanks for reading.

True

Entry for May 02, 2008 - Iron Man!

Dear Fans,

Iron Man, just got back from the theater, if you tell me that you don't like summer movies and that they are all just hype. You'll miss a very good show.

I'm a comic book fan, so I already know some background of the comic stories and stuff. But this movie is not for fans only, this is a must see for everyone. The movie (or director) did a great job on building the character, making us feel and believe in Tony Stark's idea and invention.

Robert Downey Jr... wow! I would say he is perfect for Tony Stark's persona, but then again I'm not a true critic. His billionaire playboy performance made me thought, 'man he's a punk.' The rest of the cast, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard, kudos to them too, they played their supporting parts well.

A little tiny bit of down time, I won't say where because I don't want anyone reading this to expect that part and say 'hey it wasn't so bad... or yeah there it is...' but in my opinion, it was only a little little... okay, I'm rambling.

I say it's a must see film of the summer and all (men, women, boys & girls, fans or those who are wondering ' what? an iron man?') should enjoy some fantasy, with all the economic crisis going on in the real world.

So, I give it 4.8 out of 5.

Thanks for reading my opinion.

Entry for April 21, 2008 - Some Kids...

[Earth Day 2008?]

My wife received this forwarded email from her sister. I'm not sure who else on Y!360 received it, but I thought I would share it. I wasn't quite sure what to title the blog, but I'm pretty sure the photos are self explanatory.

The above photos maybe have no relevance to Earth Day, but maybe more relevance to just humanity. With all the violence in the world. We see the innocence in these children. Incidents like this just makes our heart melt.

Thanks for viewing.

True
