If You are happy...and you know it!

Oh man! I have been like a broken recorder...singing this song dun know how many times! But it is a good way to engage Khloe to physical exercise and following instruction.

This weekend will be encounter and yes...I will be there to stay. Actually I tot I dun have to stay.Watever, my Lord will provide a way for me. This week Jeff has to return to work on Sat!!! Always my faith has to be tested. Gotta rope in my FIL. Hopefully he can entertain both of them till Jeff returns around noon.

Last Monday, I took both to Tampines swimming complex. Paid $1 for adult and $0.50 for each child. There is a fun pool with 2 slides and a raining mushroom. We spent an hour and half just in that fun pool alone. The problem is that I have to take both into the ladies toilet to wait for me while I changed. There is also a children toilet which Jere bathed on his own. While I still have to carry Khloe to rinse as she is afraid of water shower!! That night Jeff said that I can't take Jere into the ladies toilet, he has to wait outside. After some tots, I guess tomorrow I will not wear costume there but shorts. Gotta convince Khloe that I can't be wet since the fun pool is about 0.45m if I am not wrong. Question is whether I can get into the pool with shorts and Ts??? Yah! I also met Karine from Pastor cluster there...she is there teaching Aqua areobics!

Later today I will be going for my checkup at Tanjong Pagar. Free pap smear and breast check! Tomorrow Juli will come and we will go to Sharon's house to visit her twin boys! Come to think of it..I am glad to see 4 others from my school are now SAHM. Praise God. Letz hope that next year package will be more family orientated rather that economy driven!

Swimming

I have been thinking how to plan my time. I tot how to get Jere to learn as many useful stuff before next year he will be in primary 1. He will not have time to learn any other things and I want to honor my words- to have a happy child!

So I was thinking to ask Tim to tag along this swimmming class that I am thinking of... then the Lord sent me a wise woman- Sabrina! I met her at her blk and asked her about swimming- an important survival skill. She reminded me that if my child has water phobia then I should spend the next few months playing in the water before signing him up. Why use the money to see your child struggle to even step into the water..how true!

So I tot I should plan my Monday and Thursday to swim at Tampines public pool! Never do it before...so will be quite a feat! Then today..it must rain twice...is God telling me to hold my horses? Perhaps I should shop for a life jacket for Khloe before going to the pool. Sabrina also reminded me to pray. That is one thing that I totally forgot!

In fact, I was planning a get-away for my family retreat cum celebrating jere's birthday. Then it must fail because boss said that oversea trip will drain him. Then Freddie told me that he has a promotion for hotel rates. I grabbed the tot of it and went ahead to plan what to do for that weekend. Then....Women encounter....I tot I dun have to stay...Wrong! I was expected to stay! So I had to cancel all my plans for family retreat and seek first HIs kingdom.

Then finally I am at ease. I am so rested to go for the encounter first then after that then think about the family retreat! I believe it will take place. So must pray.

I am also excited with Pastor's series on family. I enjoyed last week sermon and certainly is looking forward to hear him this week. I tot it is funny when someone told me that to be busy is equal to BCs! Indeed....what else is better to be busy with?

Again I lose my temper lately, perhaps it is coz fasting is over....energy reload..so start screaming and yelling again! I cried and apologised to my children for my lack of love. I still struggle with wanting my way first."Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit...humble yourselves therefore under God's mighty hand..."

Now I am quite busy preparing for encounter weekend. so gotta go!

Thank God!

Thank God that the CK prg went rather smoothly as planned. My team was great and I had a great time laughing at our skit too!

This week will be rather quiet as I am kinda moodless! Gotta leave the house thrice this week coz my tuition kid cannot make it as planned. I am also spending some time personally with my mum tis thursday, bringing her to c Dr and before that have breakfast with her! Then I will go for my checkup, tuition then home. Wun be meeting my gals this week as Jack's grandma had just passed away and dearie Sue seemed unwell!

However, today I am reminded that God detest people who are lukewarm. To be cold towards God is a nono! Certainly, one must strive to be hot for God!

I made it

I am so thankful that I had gone thru the 2 and half day fast! Yahoo. Gotta be discipline and be on track again...after a long haul!

Emma is also born...Kevin's daughter..Praise God!

Btw, I am so thrilled that this sat is national day! Ha! Ha! The end of our fasting period... Well...I am thankful for my husband support to fast with me. He really encouraged me tremendously.

This week, I am preparing for National Day CK prg. Had just bought some tibits for the goodie bag and still looking for abit more. This thursday will visit Sue with children to do some scrapbooking.

I am also thankful and touched that the ladies had graciously left notes for my gift. I am so touched. In fact, when I read it...it is still amazing grace.

Sometimes, I think that I should just organize a get together for all SAHM, and hear each of our thanksgiving.

My niece- Fayra

Hi! My niece at 2.5kg and was 36 weeks and 6 days old! Praise the Lord for HIs love endures forever.

Yesterday, at Mt Alernvia, I asked my brother if I could pray a blessing for Fayra, he agreed! Who would miss blessings? Everyone wants blessings.

Like arrows in the hands of a warrrior....so mothers..sharpen your arrows daily and get ready to shoot!

Fayra is coming!

All glory to God. This morning, after reading the booklet, I decided to sms my brother regarding the money that he owed me and told him to contra with mum instead. I also told him to take care and be ready for Fayra.

2 hours later, when my phone rang, I told Khloe that it may be kim kim telling us about Fayra. True! Fayra will be born in 3-4 hours time! God is with us....espec now as I have taken the step of faith this year once again....aftera good 5 years break! Last year, I tried, but ended hospitalised!

Lastly, I want to remind myself that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. I am glad to pen these now, witnessing the grace and experiencing His goodness. My daily living is teaching me to live simply and to see that God is in biz with me. Read today 40 day fast book.

ALso...my surprise is also this year, my hubby took leave to be with me! He had never taken leave for any reason except for church retreat or related. How much I am loved??beyond words...yesterday, I also received my birhtday gift from my dearest friends....and my best friend suddenly popped by and spent the afternoon with me....I wouldn't experince HIS goodness if I had been slogging in office now.
