from my wife to my mum on April 19th

(my wife sent e mail to my mum on April 19th)

Dear mum in law,
It's quite long some time ago that I have not emailed to you yet.Yes,I am doing fine and will be able to take care of my baby but my parents prefer me to rest more first.They can look after him for me till my confinement is over.I am wondering if you have been having confinement for a month in USA after you gave birth?Confinement is like having proper meals,drink red dates,can't touch cold water,use herbs to bath,no fans blowing directly,can't go out anywhere.
Anyway,I enjoyed looking after Kazu and he is so sweet though he always cries for milk or not comfortable due to hot weather.It's a long way to bring him up and ken and I are proud to have such a wonderful baby son like him.Ken did learn how to feed milk bottle to him if he has time.I know that he is very busy with work and very tired too.
Kazu Wright is a confirmation name legally as birth certifcate.Kazu is a japanese name,thus it's a original and confirmation name .ICA Immirgation officer don't accept chinese name cuz' last name is not chinese surname or dialect name.That's why we have to confirm that name as Kazu Wright only in birth certificate but my sister writes chinese character on the last side.
ok,I will ask my sister to write chinese character name on the paper and scan it and send it to you later.As for pronounce chinese name,I did ask my sister to explain to me.She said that 'Xi' is the pronouncation name as 'Sea'.Xi Deng Lai Te is the hanyu pinyin version of his chinese name just like Tan Chee Ting is the dialect version of my name.it's written in english alphabet so that non-chinese people will be able to pronounce chinese name. Xi Deng Lai Te means powerful,status.My dad chooses this better chinese name for him which is suitable.Is that clear to you?
Let you know that we plan to throw a simple party for Kazu's one month birthday party on May 7th at my house.We wish you are with us right now and could carry him.Most of friends say he looks like Kenichi or you.He has alot of hair too.I am so happy for you both.
A lot of hugs and love,
Karen

My wife sms me at my work at 335pm. I looked at(headphone) sms(wife) says I am going to have a labour room at Thomas medical center, so I asked my boss that I had to leave work at 415pm. My team leader says ok! mostly of my new co workers says congrat! I left at work and went to Mrt for getting other

My sister in law(Jann) and I went to see Register for IC that I am going to be baby's father at 5 45pm at Thomas medical Centre. I am going to tell you what I was doing from 545pm to 11 22pm

445pm: register

930pm: the nurse wanted my wife to do push her baby with her alittle sign language, and I was talking to my wife and nurse was interpid( pass by rude) and I yelled at nurse. " dont do rude with us, I need to talk to my wife for sign language!" I was really angry for few mins. Few nurse was respect me, bcs I dont like someone rude me for being communication with my wife. Then the doctor came in, he seems piece of cake for him to do my wife s birth baby. He had to cut my wife s vagina to make a roomy for my son to come out and need to push her tummy for few times. I saw the vaccum pressure to make my son to be out. I told him " is he getting break neck?! " oh, dont worry, he will be fine", doctor replied. bcs the Doctor did not tell me about this before, taht s why I was worrying about it. so The doctor made my baby to come out of my wife s tummy for around 35 mins. My baby born at 11:22pm

When I saw my new born son, he was crying and cute. Mind says, I feel like "I am going to do thrust a fist in the air". Then the nurse brought my baby to measure my son's body and I called up to my sister in law and patrick to come to see my baby. I was tearing that I am seeing my newborn son! My sister in law patterned on my shoulder.

Next day, I went to see my wife at hospital twice per a day. After my interview at graphic design finish. I went to see my wife for check it up with our baby. A lot of her friends came in my wife's room at hospital. I realized that her friends are nice as true as she knows them for long time. Her friends are nice and meet my wife and see our baby.

My son dont have to go to war if he dont wanted to do that. he can move toback to Signapore to be become Singapore PR or same asbefore.

Bruce lee's daughter

Happy Birthday to Shannon Lee!! She turns 35 years old!

discrimation from my co worker.

From April 15 to 18th, the co worker named Cathy(45 years old) was shared on me and kept up with her head interpretation says " what are you doing?" and she kept tell me to work to this and do this for few hours, I just alittle pissed off and decided to write to her in professional situation. " In the professional situation, I noticed your body language tell me. "Please do not look me down as mute worker. I am willing to do team work and not get a problem with you", Kenichi explained.

I do not look down on you cos of what you are but i just need for you to squeeze the orange juice ok? I need this board to cut pineapple to juice cos no more left. so that you do not hyave to do so.

Cathy was doing bad attenude with me, and say " too bad" , so I decided to talk to teamleader know what s going on and cathy told Kenny what happen also. My lead team named Kenny was feeling clumsy to talk about this siutation. bcs Cathy talked to him about me. I told Kenny " she think, I am stupid (speak in chinese)" Kenny seems not really have a experence this situation and Cathy talked to my other worker and she was making fun with me bcs I cannot hear. My other co worker was laught at me (she is 20 years old) I told Kenny that She cannot do it that! Kenny feels clumsy this sitation. Because he is younger than I do, so I decided to talk to other teamleader named Goh about what happen. I also showed him a proof paper about my talking to Cathy. He said, dont worry about this, and you are good worker. I am always support you.
He asked me" are u okay?" I am okay now. bcs I was really pissed off with control. Next day, Cathy was walking in and quiet. She did not even look at me, and feel alittle nervous to see me. NO MORE CONTROL ME or FEEL ME STUPID LIKE A MUTE WORKER.

Wrong attitudes to blame

from STrait Newspaper

SHANGAI officical said an anti-Japanese demonstration by 20,000 people in the municipallity on Saturday had a been a spontaneous show of sentiment stirred by "Japan's wrong atitudes"

People were 'dissatisfied with Japan's attitudes and action on a series of issues such as its history of aggression" municipal spokeman Jiao Yang said in remarks reported yesterday.

She also called for calm and asked resident not to take part in random demonstrations, adding that Shanghai was "fully Capable" of protecting foreigners in the city.

Her comments echoed those of the central Government last when it blamed Japan for attacks on Japanese Diplomatic missions, shops and resturants in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

The central government said all precaustions had been taken to protest foreign interests in the country.

Shangai, China's biggest commercial city, is home to more than 35,000 Japanese nationals and 4,500 Japanese companies, the consulate said.

Thousand of police watched but did little to restrain protesters as they rampaged through Shanghai, stoning Japanese's consulate and smashing cars and Shops.

Japan's Kyodo news agency said two Japanese were injured by the demonstrators.
