Ms Nice...

Did a couple of simple things that made them smile and I feel good:

1. Sent out recognition to my colleagues and they returned with thanks and smile on their face.

2. Gave my maid an hour break, seeing her dancing when she heard it.

3. Baked and sent down a specially made cup cake for SIL.. She was so surprise and happy.

4. After all the good feedback in the cupcakes, I'm doing night baking for the children in church Sunday class. :)

These made this realized that to bring joy to a person doesn't cause much. Just a simple gesture and they rejoice. Thank God for the wisdom for me to do these. Lord, more to come please.

Drama Princess

Today, don't know what's wrong with me.. Comes to me that I need to change my teaching method on Janelle. From love education to fierce education.

I started on stopping her putting her fingers into her mouth. I will raise my voice and give her a very firm NO. After 2 hrs of NO, now when she put her fingers into her mouth, she will cry first before i xsay NO. OMG. Hopefully I can stay firm alittle longer and she will forget and never need to put her fingers into her mouth.

I'm a unless mom don't know how to teach her. I have to try many methods to see which works for her.

Running

People who knows me will know that I'm not an exercise person. During Secondary School time, I'm the one who will comes up with all excuses to skip PE and had never pass 2.4 km run before.

Now i'm trying to pick up running and cycling. Cycling is because of Janelle cos she loves to be on the bike enjoying the breeze. hmmm... and running, is because of my health. Yes, did my annual health check and found out that i'm having high cholesterol. No idea why, maybe runs in my family blood. Doctor recommend me to pick up exercise and watch up my diet.



So, here I go....

Started last week... I woke up at 645am, and starting my run at 7am.

Monday I did my 1st run - 1km run and walk.
Tuesday - rest cos my whole body aches here and there.
Wednesday i did my 2nd run - 1km run and walk + climbing up 11 stories... it was so good, i can feel the sweat running like a water tap.. nice. Thur and Fri - rest
Saturday i did my 3rd run - 1km run and walk with a faster speed + climbing up 11 stories. by the time i reach home, i panting like nobody business and started to feel dizzy then black out and i'm on the floor.

Went to do a research and talked to ppl who likes running, and guess i pushed myself alittle too hard.
Found a planner for beginner runner online http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/become-a-runner, and i will try this out from next run onwards. Taking baby steps at a time.

Havent start to have 4th run yet cos of work. Had been rushing to office this week for workshop + i didnt rest well at night. But i will try to continue to pick up running. Healthy lifestyle :)

PPST>> Punggol indeed is a good place for running.. I enjoyed it very much, especially wintness the morning sun that shine through the place. But one thing i hate most is the DOGS. oh my god. wild dogs are every where... and dont know how many detour i had made to avoid them.

Grandmas

The love from grandmas are greater than a mother can gave. They not only need to bring up their children but also their children's children. Looking at my mom, she had to sacrifice her tai-tai lifestyle aka yum cha, shopping, visiting salon at anytime she wants, to look after the grandchildren. But sad to says, my mom only take care of brothers' children.. she refused and rejected mine cos she says my mother in law still around.

My neighbours and colleagues who mother and mother-in-law travelling down to their house every morning and stay over the daytime and take care of their children till my neighbours returned from work. That kind of family support is great isnt it? at the very least, mommy can get out and do what they wants to do to have sanity mindset with a peace of mind that their children are in good hand who loves their children as they do.

In our time, how many of us are brought up by our grandma and they are doing very well. definitely not me, as my mom is a stay at home mom since the birth of my brother... I salute to full time mom... my girl can drive me to nuts at a lot of times. :X

so, this is to act as a reminded to me that i need to appreciate my mom and mom in law better although they didnt take care of janelle for me, but when i need help.. they will always be the one who supported me through.

Holy Saturday of 2013

It had been a year... me in a relationship with Jesus for a year now. This journey is amazing, he showed me miracle, he planted different people beside me, he guided me and giving me strength to breeze through every of the day he created. Everyday thanking God how great he is. 

of cos, i have to admit that my faith are not always that strong, especially when Janelle is having fits once again. He showed me the miracle yet he allows the enemy to intrude into our life once again. When i'm once again down with depression, he give me strength to sort things out one by one and for those beyond my control, He take care of it for me. He gave vision to a sister in Christ to pray for us, to call me ensure i'm ok. Because i didnt even know her at that time, i didn't shared with her what i was going through, and responded with "we are fine". He showed me my situation on a friend of me, gave me clear messages, guided me and leaded me. He is so real.

He answered my prayers and gave me with even more than i had requested. Everyday, i trying to spend 15 to 30 min quiet time in the morning to read the bible and trying to spend about 15-30 min after work, sitting down with janelle worshipping Him.. You will never fail to see my smile on me when seeing Janelle singing "Jesus love me, yes i know". We are blessed. God is never late, and i strongly believe that Janelle is the chosen one to glorify Him. 

One of the biggest changes i see in myself is i know i'm no longer alone and i know i can turn to him with every and any kind of questions. No more crying alone under the pillow asking how how how..what can i do more... Now i will turn to Him, throw him the tough questions and wait patiently for His guidance. Meditate on His word and I can feel peace and go to bed every night. God who loves me so much that He willingly send His son Jesus to die for me on the cross, and who abundantly gives. He is the one who created everything, He is the One who created me, and because of that i can rest assure in His love.   

Happy Easter!!!

"ACCIDENT"

This morning, husband brought Janelle for cycling while i do marketing at SS. He asked me to give him a call when i'm done, so i did. The phone rang for a while before he picked up. When he picked up the phone, his first response he gave me was "we met a little accident." oh my dear goodness, my heart nearly stopped. after a few questions to him, then realized that its not accident... just that bicycle chain lost and he had to fix it. but without seeing them, my heart can't get to peace, so rushed home to drop all stuff and run down to meet them...

When the lift door opened, Hus shouted for me behind, riding the bicycle coming towards me.. quickly checked janelle ensure there is no fall nothing before i open my mouth and start scolding hus... he forbid him to use "ACCIDENT" when there is no injury or damage from today onward.

My heart is getting weaker, can't take this kind of strong words.. especially on my dearest. Till now, when i think of it my heart still not able to be at ease.
