One of My Favorite Pictures

He is cute, isn't he?

About this place…(Exclusive!!!)

In fact, the contents here are the same as those in MSN Space, but there is no limitation forced upon user by Microsoft here…

For instance, you have to use IE so that you can edit normally, or all you see is a mess. But I had given up IE and turned to Firefox (this is also M$’s fault, IE was very insecure. I don’t understand what such an insecure piece of garbage is good for, not to mention why M$ had to merge it with its OS. You should have done better, M$.) and when I used Firefox, it was too inconvient to doing editing. So I get another blog here, maybe one day I will move all contents here. (When Space begins to charge, that “one day” comes.)

Of course, Space has it’s charming feature, it’s picture is one such feature. Maybe after I know this place better…

This post has nothing to do with the theme of this blog. So ignore it if you like.

A Birthday Wish

Ha, I am another year older. AGAIN.

Generally speaking, I didn’t celebrate my birthday. But this year was different, because this was the first birthday since my son was born. It was not special at first, but I did one special thing, so I think I should write it down in case I forgot it. (I should keep this for my son to see.)

But in fact this “thing” didn’t happen at my birthday, but last year. That day, many people gathered together to celebrate someone’s birthday. While hearing people asking the “star of the day” making birthday wishes, one thing came to my mind.

“My birthday wish for next year is my son getting married as soon as possible.”

Samuel was only a little older than one month at that time. So people hearing this said to me: “Don’t you think you are thinking too far down the road?”

That's why my wife asked me at my birthday: “What’s your birthday wish – besides Samuel’s getting married ASAP, that is.”

I believe that there are few, if any, fathers would make such a birthday wish while their sons were so young. I might be the first one in history, so I write this down as a memory.

About This Blog

Those words below should be enough to describe this blog...

All complicates itself, with children. It is frightening. The day of the birth of the first is the most terrifying of your life. No one tells you those things. Your life, as you know it, is gone. Never would it return. But they learn to walk, and they learn to speak, and you want to be by them. And you discover that these are the most marvelous people of your life. (Lost in Translation)

Having children is a big event in a man's life, and every one face it with different attitude. This blog is my journal of being a father for the first time; if you have any comment, please share with us.

There is a Chinese version of this blog, if you read Chinese (traditional), please visit http://samueldaddy.blogspot.com/.

If you want to see my son's picture, please visit my MSN Spaces. It is in Chinese, but the contents are the same, except that it has album features.
