8 Reasons Why SC Is A Cool Dad

Here are 8 reasons why SC is a pretty darn cool dad.

1. He's pretty hands-on with OB
Diaper-changing, bottle feeding, rocking him to sleep, etc etc etc. You name it, he's done it.
He is great at multitasking too.
As you can obviously see in this picture below...

And those muscles are pretty handy when he needs to carry OB around. Until now.

2. He shows OB that it's cool to be naughty and silly.
There's nothing wrong with making a fool of yourself.

And it's ok to be naughty, you just have to make up for it somewhere else and own what you've done.

3. He'll always have OB's back.

PS. Son, it's ok for dudes to get their toe nails polished.

4. He's OB's first co-conspirator, his partner in crime.

Obviously, conspiring against mama. Hmpfh.

5. He's OB's toughest coach.
Life is tough, son.
So, you gotta be tougher.


6. He shows OB how it's done.
He leads by example.
He didn't mind getting his ass thoroughly kicked in a taekwondo competition; ending up with a broken wrist, because he wanted to show OB that winning doesn't come easy.


Be passionate about what you love.
In whatever you do, give it all you got.
Don't do a half-ass job.

7. He teaches OB confidence.
Work hard for what you want, and when you got it, don't be afraid to flaunt it.
Always put your best foot forward.
Or it's probably just mama's excuse to put up this picture. Don't waste mah...

Pretty much nothing great in life comes easy.
This is what it takes to get that chiseled figure.

Plus, he passes on his good genes to OB.
See? Like father, like son.

8. He teaches OB kindness and generosity.
SC is no saint. He's pretty selfish most of the time. But deep down, there's kindness and he's really generous to those he cares about. I'm glad he passes them on to OB.

OB played violin in front of a crowded MTR exit to raise fund for drought victims in Ethiopia. It was so heartwarming to see how others' enthusiasm in supporting what he's doing. All credits went to SC who orchestrated this and encouraged OB to do it. SC taught OB that there's more to life than toys and if we could use our abilities to help others, we should.


Babi, you're our superhero (when you're not annoying).

Happy Father's Day Homemade Dinner

Homemade Happy Father's Day Dinner Hong Kong
We had a simple dinner at home celebrating Father's Day. I didn't make that cake. It's a black and white chocolate mousse cake from Arome bakery, costs about HK$160 (credit card discount) with a free pack of "Japanese" cookies. Good deal!

The dinner prep was really a father-son bonding session. What on earth were they trying to make?

This. Homemade roast pork - the recipe comes with the halogen cooking pot.

Did it work?

We love how it is transparent and we can all argue about the state of the food in the cooking pot. Perfect ice breaker for family gathering!

The father-son bonding only got stronger from there.

Proven by how SC and his dad collaborated plucking out remnants of pig hair...

...and after 15+30 minutes... voila!

Tasty roast pork! The meat's tender enough. The skin could use a little more poking, but not bad at all!

Here's MIL whacking away the siu yuk. She looked damn cool doing it. Don't mess with her.

Tasted AMAZING with rice. Not advisable for those on low carb diet :D

We also had beef curry. Very spicy.

And fish wrapped mangoes FIL learnt from TV.

If I could ever find that TV chef who taught this, Imma have to whack him/her with a cutting board. What a waste of beautiful fresh mangoes!

The cake has tool box shaped chocolate. Everybody loved it.

I grew up without a dad, but I love celebrating father's day with SC's family :)

Happy belated father's day, y'all. Hope you had a fantastic father's day celebration :)
