Good morning. It's 8.02 am now. Aarggh. i think my body clock is used to waking up at 7am every morning. Just woke up at 7 w/o any alarms ringing or noise pollution. oh. weird. wanna zzz more oso cannot. haha

Just took my breakfast and intending to go for a run in an hour's time. 've been so busy tt i can only exercise in tt pathetic one sat every week. hopefully things will get better when sch reopens. haha/ Oh yesh! timetable is out! Quite surprised tt there're still 7 modules to take even though we still have our iep to complete. But i dont mind. School is good. After working for one month plus in an office setting, i realised tt my passion is still teaching and interacting w the little ones. hahas. mayb tt's my personality, or rather, God created me in this way tt i just simply love interacting with kids and adore their "I can't believe it" facial expressions whenever i tell them sth new. haha. whereas for office job, i just cant stand the boredom and stagnant tasks that it brings. hahas. Glad tt thru this temp job, my passion for teaching has been reaffirmed. :)

Anyway, i am really glad n thankful tt all the little kids at my house r growing well and strong! haha. I really treasure every sunday evenings where i get to meet them. not onyl my sisters, but oso their beloved darlings. haha. The house will be filled with so much laughter, joy and noise! hahas. Imagine, 13 adults talking at e same time, with 4 kids running ard and shouting excitedly as they hold on to their fav toys. haha. I love this noise. :)

Ryan. I am Woody and he will be Buzz Lightyear (characters from Toy Story). I am Wendy and he will be Bob, the builder. I am Sid, and he will Manny. (characters from Ice Age). haha. tt's wad we always play and address each other. haha. i guess im oso a cartoon freak now. This little boy of mine simple loves imagination. And not just simple imagination of "ma sa ma sa" (cookery play) or toy cars. But real and superb imagination tt just shock all of us off. Imagining himself as an astronuat, operating a big and fast-moving spaceship and blasting off to the outer space to find comats and the milky way is certainly not what typical three year olds will do. Well, in sch, lecturers will warn us not to do any themes on outer space or dinosaurs as it's too far beyond what the chn can comprehend. Why? Cos dinosaurs no longer exist. And for outer space, which one of us will get to go outer space in our entire life? hahas. But, for my little bravo Ryan who simply just loves dinos and outer space, how can i bear to let this little pasison die w/o telling him more abt it? And whenever we ask him what would he like to be in furture, the answer will always be "Astronaut." haha. i shall wait for the day to come, cos according to Astronaut Ryan, he promised to bring all of us with him to the outer space. hahas.

Enqi. My sweet and thoughtful little girl. how i wish i can interact with her everyday. Due to distances, hence i can only get to see her only on every sundays. I love to hear her calling my name. haha. so sweet. And whenever things start to go wrong, she will not jump into anger. She will always say, "Aiya never mind la." in her sweet and happy tone. She is really a happy girl. Always so bubbly and joyful. i love to hear her speaking in mandarin. haha. she will always exaggerates her tone as she says, "hen(2) hao(3) chiiiiiii(1)!" one funny thing abt her is tt she can and will always speaks loudly. well, tis is good to a certain extent. If it is sth pleasant and worth our attention, good! but if it is sth embarrasing, oh man, all the best. I rmb tt there was once when my 3rd sis brought her out for shopping. At tt time, enqi is quite confused abt "I" and "you". She often mixed them up. So when they were inside the mrt train, enqi actually farted. So with an innocent look and ah-hem, loud voice, she said to her mummy, "mummy, ni (3) fang(4) pi(4)." [which means, mummy, you farted.] She actually wanted to tell her mummy "i farted" but ended up using the wrong pronouns. instead of "i", she said "you". This embarrased my sis greatly and she immediately corrected her. but it was too late. everyone was staring at them and given this siuation, who will you believe? Of course this little sweet girl of mine rite! hahas.

Jiajia. My roundy cutie little girl. She is just so adorable. All of us are memerised by tt pair of round and innocent pair of eyes. She is really very round. But dont be deceived by her cuteness! haha. She is quick, when it comes to grabbing your hair, spectacles, necklaces and even nose. She is determined to grab and seize anything tt interests her. And she is very accurate with time. When wakes up from her afternoon nap (at ard 6), she will cry and demand us to bring her out. Cos she knows that, "mummy will be back soon." And she will be waiting for her at the lobby. hahas. i can foresee tt she will be a very sporty and spontaneous girl. She loves waters and loves kicking her legs in the air. hahas.

Clarice. though this little sweetie has such a beautiful christian name, i am surprised tt w dont call her tt. We always call her chinese name, xuan xuan. She is so sweet and dainty. And she loves the nursery ryhme, "Pat a cake." hahas. she nv fails to smile whenever we sing tt song to her! And she reallie reallie adores her kor kor, Ryan. Whenever she hears Ryan's voicem she will smile! haha. i think it's cos Ryan always read to her when she was still in my sis's womb. Ryan would talk, read and sing to her everyday. No wonder the sibling love is so strong! I am surprised too that Ryan loves her! He will touch her face gently and kiss her on the cheeks w/o any of our prompting. And whenever she cries, Ryan will say, "Xuan xuan. kor kor is here ok. dont cry." So sweet rite..

i simply love the little ones in my family. Jus like how God loves me w/o any reason, i dont see a need for any reason when it comes to loving them too.

Yeah! My computer is finally back for good! No more hangings. haha. Good. Woo.. had not bene blogging for a pretty long time tt even my third sister is bugging me. hahas. Yes, she reads my blog. Better be vigilant of what i am gonna write. (glee)

Ah-hem. So let me see.. hmm, from the last entry till now is a period of 18 days! Many many things had happened! And all are positive. Thank God for that.

First is the birth of Emmanuel. He was born on Tuesday night (12 sep)!! He's such an adorable baby boy.. sleeps so peacefully in the embrace of God. haha.. Feel so happy for Dellia and Dennis! Emmanuel, which also means God Is With us, is certainly a great gift to both of them! Glad that this little child is growing well in the protection of God and his parents!

Next comes a piece of good news for myself in my work. Two new temp staff have joined my department! haha.. GREAT! One of them is a graduate from NAFA. hmm.. though i barely know her for a week, i m glad tt both of us can clique so well! Even a third party can see that! haha. Hmm.. she's a very special lady. Filled with an adventurous and optimistic spirit, she is a person who knows how to enjoy life to the fullest. She is confident, courageous and persistent in pursueing what she wants in her life. I reallie learn a lot from her. Her attitude towards life and the way she looks at things. At such a young age of 25, she has travelled to many different parts of the world, learning and appreciating the cultures that different countries bring. She has changed my perspective abt travelling. :) i certainly have a great time working with her.. we can talk about anything and everything. From politics to religions, shopping to travelling. Hmm.. i guess besides Xueli and Stephy, she's one whom i can reallie talk abt absolutely anything. hahas. I sense that somehow God wants me to learn from her. The courageous and carefree spirit that she possesses. I am determine in my heart to possess such a courageous and adventurous spirit and heart for God too. That no matter where He may lead me to, I'll go. Wherever He may be, i'll follow.

Right now i m feeling very excited bout my life after attending the two sessions of Spiritual Warfare Weekend. Thumbs up. The pastors have been so clear and interesting in the way they convey the messages to us. Many were healed and ministered, including myself. The Spirit of God was so intense that many of us could sense it so strongly. I'd benefitted a lot from this SWW, far more than what i anticipated. During one of the sessions, Ps Jo was teaching abt the healing of past hurts. Before the session began, we started worshipping the Lord. In one of the songs which was sung, the lyrics had touched both qinpei and my heart so deeply. It says, "I love you because I love you. I love you for eternity." How true and beautiful is the lyric. Many a times i have wondered what good deeds have i done to deserve the many blessings that God gave me? On what grounds am i so worthy to deserve whatever He has sacrificed and given. The lyrics said it all. It's bcos of love. And there's absolutely no reason why He loves us so deeply. He did so just bcos He simply loves us. This led me to a picture of a typcial childcare or home setting. I can see myself loving and caring for a chidl tenderly and lovingly, that no matter what wrongs he/she has done, i am willing to forgive and even to love. That's bcos it's the wrongs and not the child that i hate. If even I am able to give such love to a child, how big and deep will our Heavenly Father's love be!

Throughout the whole SWW, i am glad to experience the presence of God as well as the company of qinpei. She's such a dear sister to me. So loving, supportive and sensitive to my emotions and thoughts. i will not forget every prayer of love that she has prayed for me. Thank you qinpei! I mean it. :)

Phew, that's a very long entry of mine. my fingers are gettng weary and my eyelid is getting heavier. Gonna throw myself down on my bed now. Three more weeks to school reopen!! YEAH!

Wow! Time really flies! I've been working in CPF for two weeks, exam results will be released next Friday and school will be starting in approximately 1 month more time! Haha.. and "ah-hem" my birthday will be coming soon as well! Haha.. speaking abt birthday, Qinpei, Feli, Jessie, jasmine and I went to Florence's house last sat to celebrate her birthday!! Haha.. we were having so much fun in her house taking photos, FEASTING and watching "The Prince of Egypt" at the same time. It was a great Saturday afternoon. Simple, nice and sweet with the presence of all my sisters and God. I had not watched Prince of Egypt before hence I was very excited. The movie is awesome. It portrays out the book of Exodus about how God spoke to Moses and helped him to bring the Israelites out of slavery into the promise land. We like the part where Moses and his wife, Zipporah, together with the rest of the ppl in their tribe danced and made merry. The melody of the song is very cute that we ended up singing and dancing too! Haha. When we saw the part where God spoke to Moses, Jasmine and I laughed as we remembered abt the joke during the Encounter Weekend camp. Haha.. she actually called my name in a very low and solemn tone (cos she was feeling very cold and wanted me to help her adjust the air con temperature) and I got a shock cos I thought it was God who called me. Haha. Think too much liao. Okok, anyway, we had a great time at Flo's house especially eating the curry chicken n jelly which her mummy has specially prepared for us. I kept on eating non-stop and this affected qinpei too! Haha..

Two Sundays ago, I was part of the choir for the youth service at my church. Both of Dellia and Dennis' tribe were in this choir and we were proud of that! So happy that we can serve God in such a special way. Frankly speaking, we were all feeling very nervous cos we were not very familiar with the actions. But we still enjoyed ourselves very much throughout the whole worship! Hee. There was a sense of unity and love as we worship God together as a whole congregation. Yeah! So happy n blessed to be in this big family of Jesus Christ!

My mood is reallie good for these two weeks. I had found a great job with friendly, caring and helpful colleagues, my nephew and nieces are all growing well and strong, and also my pal, ah peng, is working so near me that we are having lunch together everyday! I thank God for all His blessings. I really tasted the goodness of God everyday in my life. Be it at work, at home or church, I just felt a very strong companionship with God. Small little incidents or things that happened; such as the movie Prince of Egypt, Ps Lawrence Khong's series of messages abt "Jesus is Lord" or conversations that I shared with my cell members had multiplied e knowledge and understanding I had abt Him. One very happy thing that I would like to share is that, I can feel my baptism coming. Just two Sundays ago while I was recoding down the date of baptism in my personal planner, I heard a very clear, assuring and peaceful voice saying, "This is it." I dunno if it will fall on this month but I just want to submit everything unto Him and let His will be done. I had longed filled up the application form and typed out my baptism testimony. All I need is the consent from my dad n mom. God, I believe in you.

Serving the Lord as a family.
