dancing princesses

It has been 2 days in a row, Khloe has been watching "the 12 dancing princesses". I was trying to get her to be graceful and been tiptoeing around. Quite fun, as I have to recall my basic dancing poise.

I wanted to learn ballet when I was young instead my mum had signed me up for chinese folk dancing. My hubby often teased me to be a true blue "Chinatown" girl. Well...I grew up in China street, watched how pigs were slaughted amd skinned. Smelt the stench that arose from the burning every night if I sleep at 11plus. It was memorable. My best friend, Susan will come over to play barbie doll with me till 3plus..then we sleep. Or we will walk to boat Quay and chat, watched couples hug and hold hands together. We wondered we ever reached that day....sigh...would I be able to have the grace, patience and trust to allow my princess and prince to wonder till so late?? How will I be able to do it. Then Jeff's word will linger into my tot system"...Katie..it is by grace that we can raise a godly generation." So back to basic, trust God and keep His commands for this is my duty to Him.

Talking about true blue chinatown girl...I have a chi-na look, likes to wear Chi-na clothes and still likes to go chinatown! Can I give my kids a wonderful and at least fond memorable childhood? Do I have the courage to trust or chicken out by possessing them 24/7?

Yesterday, I also received a call from a ex-colleague and old good friend. We had gone partying togther while she was a graduate, I was on contract..... P had asked if I would like to return to work as a part-timer. So nice to be remembered. gota go..khloe is snatching the keyboard from me again

weddings and decision

Wedding vow is the most binding agreement any man and woman can enter into. Can one make mistake? Yes! but not this marriage vow....till death do us part. If buying or selling a house is a big decision, a vow made before God and Men is far more binding. It remains sacred whether we like it or not, whether people chicken out in their decision.

All of us have to be responsible for every decision that we make. So if I had made a bad one, I just have to carry on paying the price like a loan. If I am indebted to HDB, then whether I like this house or not now, I still have to pay via giro. Therefore, why is it that we can't just carry on and live with the bad decision???Why am I so upset watching the lives around me spining this way. Why? uhh..

Today, I am very deeply troubled.

Sunday

Yesterday, I spent an afternoon with Jere alone. We went to city hall and Mirina square. I resisted the idea of "me" shopping. I went to all the shops that he wanted to go. We were happy. Especially for me...the lost feeling of just me and him. I din realise that it had been so long since I last spent time with him alone.

It is thursday

I am so excited to meet my girls tonite! I had gained so much doing and teaching the book " Power of Motherhood" by Nancy Campbell.

I had shared with Pastor that learning the principles and doing them are different. Acting in love and knowing that we ought to love our kids are almost world apart. She commented that many of us need to learn to love our kids when we start staying at home. How true. I had tot that I was loving my kids when I was working. Naturally with little contact points, kids are loveable. The interesting point is like dating and marriage...

Yesterday I also received a sms from my previous boss. He wondered if I had turned yellow staying at home! He is rite, better start exercising to be in "top" form and stay healthy by forsaking junk food and embrace "brown" food! Certainly have to keep up with read your bible, pray everday, pray everday and you'll grow grow grow!

Oh! yesterday Urban section also addressed on dressing at home...yup! will work on looking good even at home. I am now considering keeping T-shirts and shorts as sleepwear. So going to NTUC will require some tidying up.

Wonders

I guess I must set my record rite! Just listing them down is the first step that I am taking for the month of October.

1. cooking class demonstration for ladies...to prepare my singles how to win their boyfriends



2. Garb swop or facial retreat.



3. share on "finding the rite mate" or "Being the rite mate"...still thinking on the topic. I guess I have to address this issue to my ladies.

other matters to resolve asap

1. testimony for anniversay



2. baptism



3. dinner treats with couples

So I think this month will be as usual busy. When was staying at home boring?!

I also figure out that I need to order my life in such a way that I can spend personal time with each of my kid. Only have two yet already struggling with time management. Wonder how will life be if I am still working! So Thank God for being able to stay at home. Yesterday at PM, I learnt that anytime is rite for us, but God's time is not anytime. So it is our choice to follow our own time or to choose His timing.

I am happy to be the ring bearer. Look how cool I am! BTW...I have full marks for my spelling!

flower girl, ring bearer and me

I just said to my hubby," A we are now be like Susan and CS!" I was watching Shaggy Dog at 9pm, Jere was already asleep and Khloe said she wanted to sleep. I told her to "sleep lah". A while later, I realised that she was not in the hall with me (I can be a TV glue). Quickly, I went to ask Jeff who was doing work if he had seen Khloe(house like veri big). I went to their bedroom and found that my princess had gone to bed on her own! What an amazing scene!

By 10am, we cuddled at our sofa and munched mercilessly on potato chips/ foodless food! We beamed as we finally can sit and laze around like that!

So I am very delighted to announce that I am almost at par with my heroine Susan liao! Ha! Ha! Soon I can also watch video with my hubi too! just wait and see...
