IT IS A GIRL !!!!!!!
For quite sometime my wife Gwen and I were praying for a child and by the grace of God this prayer was finally answered late last year. Now, after many months of anticipation Gwen and I are most pleased to announce the arrival of our newest family member, Abigail, on Monday evening, 24 August, 2009.
After two days of being a father, I can only say that she gets very loud and cranky to signal her meal time from mummy. But when seeing her after so snugly laid to sleep in my arms makes that all so insignificant; a feeling that has often been described to me by others but not personally experienced til this moment.
As you can probably imagine, spare time for modelling will be curtailed by baby bathing time, diaper changing detail as with all the other last minute surprises that every parent will experience. Nonetheless, I will try my best to share some material that I promised to post and will do so when my routine life stabilizes. On behalf of us two excited first-time parents, Gwen and I would love thank you all for your well wishes and blessings to our new found joy Abigail.

Hi Guys,
on behalf of Abigail, Gwen and I, thank you all for your generous outpour of well wishes and blessings. As most of you might imagine, she is our first child and we are try our best to adjust our lives to her routine of cry-eat, cry-pooh/pee and sleep. I suspect that the guard duties I did during my National Service stint is somewhat a preparation for this. Only difference is that we were only turned out twice at the most!
Abigail partied from 11pm till 9am this morning. It's 1.20pm here in Singapore and it's time to catch up on lost sleep.
Thanks again for the well wishes and blessings and especially the fathers for your encouragements.
Chin Yang,
that sounds like a great inspiration for a new book to pen "The Father's Guide to Modelling - Vol 1. The First 6 Months" and that will cover how to paint figures in between feeds.
Calvin
Congratulation to your family~ :)
What a beautiful princess!!!
I belive you and the wife will be very good parents. :)
Congrats again and god bless your family.
