Goodbye 2018!

Coming to the end of the year, the best gift I had was a glimpse of God's faithfulness and love for our family πŸ’– The last 2 months were challenging and hectic. It was a very crucial time in my work. I need to hit the target for Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) by end Dec 🎯 101% focus is required in this last lap πŸƒπŸ»‍♀️ But it was also the girls' school holidays, and we had lined up travel plans half a year ago ✈ I have their 2019 school stuffs to settle. We'd made grand plans of spending time together πŸ‘©‍πŸ‘§‍πŸ‘§ And serving in the church camp falls in this season. Unexpectedly, James had to travel extensively for work during this period. Each time he travels, we wouldn't know when he would be back. Even then, on the very day he's due to be back, things can always change & he'll need to extend his stay there. And each trip was usually 2-3 weeks long. Then the girls fell sick, with high fever. I didn't just had commitments to meet, they w

Christmas Day πŸŽ„ was spent at Aunt Stella house with the cousins. Always thankful how Aunt Stella is always generous in her love towards her nephews and their family πŸ’–

MidWinter Green, Khao Yai

MidWinter Green is one of the most popular restaurants in Khao Yai, and it is understandably so once you experience it yourself. The outer building looks charming and mysterious like a typical European castle, and it looks like it has many stories to tell. The interior is tastefully renovated and clothed in grandeur. The outdoor dining area is very spacious, overlooking the magnificent view of mountains behind the green fields. MidWinter Green is also a nice spot for sunset. The sky changes color to a beautiful hue of purple and pink as the sun begins to set. Do take note the sun starts to set about 545pm in December when we were there, and it gets dark pretty fast after that. The live band that starts at 630pm was good, and the light show at 8pm reminded me of the ones I saw at Universal Studios Sentosa. There are some lovely spots scattered around the compound that are so insta-friendly for the insta-lovers. Wha

The Hobbit House (Part 2/2)

The Hobbits are nice people, they are worried we'll get a little tired of the Shrine. And so this mini town was built inside their town. This was a nice change of scenery after seeing Hobbit House upon Hobbit House for a while πŸ˜… They have also just completed the extension of the Santorini hotels, right next to the Hobbit House. So now you can have two options for accomodation. I don't really recommend staying at The Hobbit House though. Its just too far from almost every other attractions, at least 30-60 minutes drive away. Unless you are really into The Lord of The Rings and roleplay (yes they do offer roleplay costumes at very affordable rates!), you'll probably finish combing the place and taking hundreds of pictures in 2 hours time. And to be honest, the place isn't properly upkept. The paintworks on the hobbit house are fading, the plants are wildly growing everywhere and where they aren't supposed to be. I had a quick

Missing Mummy

Today is the exact day my mum left us 3 years ago. The first year was the toughest. The first of everything without her - CNY, her birthday, Mother's Day, Xmas etc. Her absence became the new "normal" in our lives. It was the beginning of the constant struggle between letting go and holding on. On one hand, life goes on and letting go becomes inevitable. Yet there's a part of me that try to hang on, because I am afraid that when I let go, her memories will start to fade. As the old saying goes, God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. And I learnt that as I heal, her memories didn't fade. Thankful for the privilege to be born to an incredibly strong and beautiful woman, inside out, who demonstrated unconditional and sacrificial love to me πŸ’–

Enya gotten "Best Conduct"!

We named her "Enya" because it means "fire" πŸ”₯ We wanted her to be strong and passionate, to have the fire for Jesus. Well, she was HOT... she was also known as the "chilli padi 🌢"πŸ˜… Thank God it has been a while since we last heard somebody calling her that πŸ˜ƒ It has been an amazing journey to see how God has transformed her inside out πŸ’— We aren't perfect parents, but we can look πŸ‘€ to our Heavenly Father who is our perfect Father. He is our best example, & He has already given us the best manual πŸ“– Very proud of you, Enya! Keep on shining 🌟πŸ”₯ #bestconduct #parentingishardwork #partnershipwithGod

My hubby is also my car mechanic

So thankful the hubby is back, after 5 long weeks of being away! This morning, I told him that we need to go petrol station to pump tyre already, because the tyre seems like slightly dragging when I was driving. When we went to the car just now, imagine his horror when he asked me, "you didn't know the tyre is punctured?" 😱 I really didn't realise the tyre was punctured all these while, & I have no idea since when πŸ˜… Really thank God for His protection all these while πŸ™πŸ» #marsvsvenus

This child is mine.

First read this book as a 17 years old student. Reading it again as a mother now, I comprehend the heart of God better. "There is another kid sitting on the curb today. And all it takes is one person to make a difference in that kid's life. (p.169) Whose child is this? This child is mine. (p.180)" Bill Wilson On a side note, konmarie gotten me back to my books 😍 #billwilson #metroministries #churchwithoutwalls #enlargingtent #homewithoutwalls #parentwithoutwalls #needmoregrace #konmarie
