I didnt realise that...

- i have been doing things that i didnt think i would do in the past.

- even when i go shopping nowadays, i would very often buy things for Michela more than myself.

- i would talk more on baby stuffs, baby development, etc than fashion and make up.

- even when frens still call me "Hot Mama", i am still a little auntie on the inside. Maybe outside is just a cover up!

- i would make sure Michela is fully covered up from head to toe so that she wont catch a cold in the middle of the nite, as well as nicely tug in her cot bed, before i end up in mine.

- i would miss Michela more than my LV and Chanel.

- i would tear whenever i see a breakthru in Michela's development (be it motor, visual, verbal, etc).

- even when there is only a minor scratch on Michela's hands or legs, my heart would feel the pain.

- i am stronger physically now. (all thanks to her wanting us to always carry her! haha...)

- i dont mind clearing her poo or letting her pee on my hands while cleaning her up, or even have her saliva all over my hands and clothes.

- i would want to rush home after work to spend time with Michela before she sleeps for the day.

- i actually had thoughts of giving up my dreams for my family, but not likely.


So,


I didnt realise that these are what a mother's love would be.


God, i thank You for giving me Baby Michela. She is truly beautifully created in Your image.

Sad-ded.

(My last post was..... early June. More than a mth since that update.)

Tdy was supposedly to be a pretty busy day for me at work. Just started a new job and am doing Learning & Development in ST Electronics. So far so good.

Thn came lunch, and some topics were brought up for lunctime discussion and also, "criticism".

The question came after i said grace.

"Which church are you from?"

Somehow, i have a feeling that comments are going to fly ard at the makan table after my answer.

"City Harvest"

True enuff, they just shoot. And they didnt really mentioned abt the recent happenings(news), but more of their feelings and experiences.

There and then i really had a taste of 一只竹打翻整艘船. As much as i can understand their feelings and where they come from, but i honestly feel that those comments made were unfair and obviously bias.

Of cos i defended, explain and tried to clarify those misunderstandingssss, but i also kinda stop towards the later part of the conversation. I rather prove and show to them slowly, than keep trying to defend, and defend and even argue. What's the point then? What will i be trying to prove?? It will just make things worst.

But not defending to every point, doesnt mean that i am scared. I am NOT. I just wanna be wise. Just like "Meekness is not weakness."

And so, i decided to just practise empathy listening.

Of cos we didnt end up turning tables and exchange blows. *phew* :)

But i am just sadded by the fact that human beings can just come to a conclusion this immaturely.

Just like how we 'bad-mouth' abt this restaurant and that service provider, etc after we had a bad encounter with them. Its the same...

Someone said this before "Do not trust all newspapers. They only present very minimal % of truth and facts inside. BUT City News is different ah!" We just laughed! But i think this is true! City News gives whats TRUE, but not the rest of the newspapers.

What you read may NOT be the truth, people.

Wise up.

Baby BOY?

I brought Michela down to buy some drinks and something interesting happen:

Auntie : You finally bring your baby boy down le. Never get to see him until now. So cute...

Me : Thanks! Err, by the way, its a girl. :)

Auntie : Oh isit? But look like boy...

Me : Isit? But its a girl...

Auntie : hahaha, ok... but this angle look like boy.

Me : Its a GIRL. :I

........................................................


Look like BOY meh? But she's a girl!

" Yea, auntie, I am a GIRL leh!"

hahaha...

Asia Conference 2010

2010 is the 2nd Asia Conference (AC) that CHC organises. From glory to glory, so of cos this years' was full of good visual and audio effects, but more importantly, SPIRITUAL atmosphere!

Unfortunately, i was down with gastric flu by noon of 1st day... what a spoilsport..... :( was having fever on Wed and Thurs. Slept thruout for these 2 days acty...

However i am happy that i finally can make it on Friday evening session! Yippie!


After zzz for 2 full days, i am finally well-enuff to hit Expo for the 3rd night! :)


3rd night was a YOUTH night! Pst Kong talked abt how the youth Christians are decreasing and that many of the great man of God started their ministry in their youths! Even though i am no longer a youth... (sadz man...) i could feel that excitement in the atmosphere that night! I almost wanted to just become a youth again! hahaha...

Q-ing up in Hall 10 so that we can get into Hall 8.. Nothing to do, so took a snap.

There we were, IN Hall 8! MK was happy...

Sunday was the next highlight too, the last shall be the first and good things are reserved for the last, so Sunday was the last day of the AC. There were A LOT of ppl man... cos not only our church with AC, we also have another church next to us who is also a mega church, plus there were couple of exhibitions and the Expo food fair too! SO, can you imagine ?!

The night finale session was 530pm and we started to Q at 230pm in Hall 7 and already, 3/4 of the hall was filled at 230pm! WAH...

Us in Hall 7, Q-ing... very bored acty.... haha..

So, finally at 520pm, we managed to get into the main Hall. By that time, the hall was 95% fulled. MK and my heart just sank... Still, we walk rounds and rounds to LOOK for seats.

Finally, after near 10mins of walking rounds, i just approached an usher and said i need 2 seats. Lo & behold, she acty said "This way pls.."

!!

We followed her all the way up to the terrace area and REALLY, there were some seats!!! PTL!! Though it was under the aircon, but we were contend to be able to have decent seats in HALL 8!

The last night was phenomenal! Dr AR Bernard preached abt Self Concept and self esteem and how these tie in with the Cultural Mandate that we have always been talking abt.

And so, AC 2010 ended with a big bang... good lightings, great sound, good visual effects, tangible presence of God & great word definitely!.... But i wonder how many of us will carry these Word and have a breakthru in our respective life...

Afterall, its no use to only go thru that hype for its only a one-time event, but whats for life is that encounter with Abba Father. :)

Us with our teary eyes, taking a picture after the whole AC ended... We were both impacted and very touched by God... *Grateful*...

After AC ended, we went to Bukit Timah to have dinner, oh or maybe its supper! And what else? Chicken rice lor... sooo unhealthy, but i like! hahaha!

So for now, i say BYE AC 2010 and See you soon in AC 2012!
