Yes my grandmother. Life has been tough for her during her earlier years. My grandfather died very young leaving her to bring up the kids (one of whom is my father) alone. Later on, she remarried but her 2nd husband passed away before his time due to tuberculosis (TB). For someone who has been through these and WWII, life is certainly not a walk in the park. If there were to be any real life superwoman, she is definitely one!
Recently my old bike went dead on me. It was pointless to repair as it’s too expensive. After much discussion, Cheng and I decided to throw in some more cash and invest in an electronic one. Ever since we bought it, the kids have been asking me to bring them to places. I find myself more willing to “travel” too. After all, not much effort is needed. Now they would rather ride bikes than to take bus or taxi…
Friends are not lacking…
It was another long awaited gathering with Susan. Though time was tight we managed to squeeze a makan night before she left for U.S.. We met at the Singapore Flyer Hawker Centre, I call it the “Ang Moh Hawker Centre” for some local delights which she dearly miss.
I just realised that we didn’t really have a lot of photos together… at least not many when both of us look this good! Feels different that this year we did not celebrate our birthdays together. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Wishing you a Happy Happy 40th Birthday Pastor!
What do you look for in a job? Is it the salary? Job satisfaction? Challenges?
I am just happy that my job has all of the above. In fact it is more than just a job. It’s my ministry. Day in day out I am serving with a bunch of selfless people who always go the extra mile in whatever they are doing.
A place where there is appreciation.
A place where there is laughter.
A place where we call family.
Yesterday, Dylan came and knocked on my door in the middle of the night. When I answered the door I was a little shocked because his hands and mouth were full of blood stains. I thought what had happened? Slowly he told me that his tooth had dropped and handed me this little thing.
Last weekend we had again another awesome family service in CHC. This time round using balloon sculpting as our main theme, the kids went gugugaga over it. It was a huge success. Most parents would spend time queuing up for their kids just to have their balloons specially handmade on the spot. I queued for like 45 mins for a balloon flower and a sword. Can you imagine! Also not forgetting the all time favourite… Mascots!
Mother's Day is a celebration that honours mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April, or May. Well, on Fri we brought our mother to the Famous Crab King at Toa Payoh for an early celebration to avoid the weekend crowd.
Happy Mother’s Day to All Mums out there! Let Everyday be a Happy Day for You!
We were not satisfied of the half and hour fun we had on Labour Day. Our session was rudely interrupted by the heavy downpour that evening. Moreover there were just too many kids that day for Dylan and Jennan to really enjoy the facilities. Since Dylan & Jennan had no school, I decided to re-visit the playground yesterday. We spent almost an hour there this time and had to entice Jennan with ice-cream so as to make her leave.
There was a time going out for meals is like walk in the park. You can call us anytime and we can be ready to meet you anywhere for a late night supper. Now that all of us are already in our parenthood, even a simple dinner gathering takes good timing and some form of planning.
And the list goes on…
Nevertheless, that should not stop us in having a cheerful quality time with our fellow friends. Thank you June & Brandon for organizing this lovely evening for Cheng & Ally!
I ever thought of bringing the kids to the Goat farm. Since I don’t have a car and going to the “ulu” place at Lim Chu Kang always makes me drop the idea. Finally, thank you for my brother-in-law, Ron for making it possible last weekend. The whole lot of us loaded up into his car and travelled to the most ulu part of Singapore. Drinking goat milk, catching guppies, feeding the Koi etc.
