Aiya
This morning rushed down to student's place, and the parent is not at home! So came home to clear mails and to get Jeff's jacket dry cleaned!
Well, the good thing is that I finally received my grant for NPL for 01-012009 to 31-12-2009. Praise God. The sad thing is that my current tuition kid want to reduce to once a week and for 1 hour only! I am not confident to succeed in getting his grades up with so little time with him....sad lah.
I had also to work out for more assignments now. Thank God that Choon Mui often text me to tell me that she has assignments for me....wonder if the time can match and the distance required to travel. Gotta trust God. My friend also told me to check our CDAC for assignments but they are all at night which I should be home with the family else, why stay at home? I am confident that God will make a way for me and besides HE knows best for us.
Meanwhile I have to learn to be cheerful and put my trust in Him alone. Today, I was just thinking that I should work on smiling more.... Been living like yet another day to go....when some people are struggling to be alive!!

calligraphy
Just last week, I was told that children should learn calligraphy to enrich their chinese culture. It also helps with chinese. Today, there is a new ink painting course just on 1- 5 Dec at tampines central cc. Hooray!
I am also thinking how to get people to be willing to help with cradle roll. For one thing I know, if I don't find 8 leaders, I can't run else will end up closing it again! I also know that I am finding problems for myself. As much as I know I should serve and be in a state of self denial...I can't help but wonder if I have better things to mind, e.g my children. I totally agree that with children who don't nap, one can be extremely short-fused with them when they interupt with our prepartion. I often deal with it as I wonder and plan for the cluster, cell and my mentoring sessions. No big deal though...the strain is often on my children. That's why, I am better off not serving, isn't it? Why bother??
I am not angry...jus sounding it to make sure that everyone knows that I am a mere mother who is still trying to make ends meet. Trying to manage and be above situations before it gets me!Trying to rise above the turmoils of the day, the routine of daily living and yet experiencing the joy of a mother. Not having the burden of putting bread on the table, not having to report to my superior, not having to tolerate other's slowness, not having to labour! But to lovingly raise my children in the fear of the Lord! Isn't it a tall order? So being at home has a lot to do with myself. The person who says that SAHM is a boring task, is the one who has never done that before. Where is the creditibilty? WHy ask a non-artist their opinion of a painting? Shouldn't we turn to our maker for opinions?
I know what I should be doing staying at home for the past 3 years and the next 4 years...do you?

shopping
Today, I reached my mum's house at 7am. We left at 8am for porridge at Tiong Bahru. Then I brought my children to Orchard. Aiyo...the shops are not open!
Then I wondered around and finally get my job done. I had to carry Khloe as she was sleepy and decided to travel down to Plaza Singapura. Went to Daiso then dawn on me that I need some Christmas decor for the party on 13 Dec Sat 6pm. Quite relunctantly, I bought a few items as I haven't thought of a theme yet. So I will be doing that for next week. I also stepped into "Made with love" shop and almost bought everything! They are all so pretty. My children were busy tearing the place down so I left without buying anything. But I am sure when I have an off- day, I will meet with Susan and get there to browse and buy.
Now, I am thinking of those pretty little things...LUST.
Oh! My friend Ada and Huiling and her family will be coming to our Christmas party!
