Kate Pang Says She’s Ready To Have A Pet Dog Now That Her Kids Are All Grown Up
Now wouldn't that be lovely?
It’s been a busy few months for Kate Pang and Andie Chen.
After all, Andie and their two kids, Aden, six, and Avery, four, moved to Taiwan in July this year, where they’ll be residing for the time being. While Kate is still in Singapore for work, she too, will be flying over in a matter of weeks, as Andie shared when 8days.sg spoke to him in October.
Crazy over Toby
Since then, it looks like the family-of-four, though separated, have fallen in love with a couple of furry friends. While Andie and his brood have adopted a pet rabbit, christened Obedient Chen by Aden, Kate has fallen in love with her friend's pet, a dashing Maltipoo pooch named Toby.
The caramel-coloured dog is now a frequent face on Kate’s Instagram.
On November 17, Kate shared a picture of her with Toby, writing: “Before giving birth to Aden, I’ve always wanted to have a pet dog, my husband said that we’d talk more about it after giving birth. [But] after giving birth to Aden, these thoughts were immediately dispelled. Now that the kids are grown up, it looks like we might be able to have a dog again.”
It's kinda different in Taiwan, though
Thousands of miles away, it looks like Andie’s thoughts have been occupied with less pet-related stuff, and more relationship musings.
On November 13, the 35-year-old took to his Instagram to pen down a long caption that encapsulated his journey as a dad.
"I am not a super dad, I am a struggling one. I'm not great at chores, in fact, I am really bad at them. I tend to miss out on details and I get distracted easily. I need a lot of alone time, cos my mind races like crazy, I need a lot of alone time because my heart takes a pin drop like an explosion. I have always been convinced that I am going to be a horrible father. ⠀
But when you told me you wanted kids, I wanted to have kids with you. When you told me you wanted a family, I felt like that is possible. I know I am not perfect but I am proud of how far I have come and how hard I am trying.⠀
Life is hard, parenting is hard, marriage is hard. We all do what we can, hopefully, we learn fast enough, and pray we don't [mess] up too badly. ⠀
When the chaos is over, and the kids have lives of their own, you wish what surrounds you is bliss and fulfillment.⠀
But that's not always the case, you could wake up with nothing but pain and hurt. But I want to believe if you have done your best, if you have let go of your ego and acted objectively, you will be able to find your peace and sleep with a smile at night.⠀
To everyone fighting for love.” he wrote.
Fingers crossed for a potential addition to the family!
But hey, maybe when the family-of-four reunites in Taipei, we might just see a new four-legged friend joining them on their new adventure.
