Snippets of our Stay Home Notice

My family is currently serving SHN & we fully support this government measure. We chose to go ahead with our recent trip as the situation of SG & the place we were visiting was rather calm then. However, things unexpectedly deteriorated quickly in SG while we were away. It was a good decision & rightful of SG government to impose SHN to protect its residents.

QO/SHN/LOA is a measure my family & anyone affected must strictly adhere to. Unfortunately, our SHN had inconvenient ...others (eg ICA officers, school admin). The least we can do is to fully cooperate & make their work as easy as possible. When the sms are sent for an update of our locations, we try to respond fast to cut down the extra work to call us if we didn't respond within an hour.

For grocery & food deliveries, we got the delivery guys to drop the bags at our doorsteps without contact to play safe.

Everyday, we'll take our girls' temperature & update their school via a google form promptly by 9am. We are continuing the girls' lessons at home so their teachers won't have to spend extra time coaching them for the missed lessons.

Yesterday morning, their Vice Principal message me to check on their well-being & requested for a photo proof. I took the opportunity to apologise to her for the inconvenience caused & also for having her to work on a Sunday. She gracefully sent her encouragements.

Thankfully, our work cause little disruptions to the workplace as our job nature allows us to work from home.

Thankful for the surprise deliveries of food and gifts from family and friends (all were dropped at our doorstep without contact). We will likely put on weight after our SHN. Appreciate the messages/calls to check on us. Your concern touched our hearts deeply. I see God's love in all of you.

Lastly, to all who are serving QO/SHN/LOA, jia you! Abide by it strictly, be appreciative to those who are serving us, be glad in it (not for it), make the best out of the situation (bond with your family, take time to rest or to catch up on neglected stuffs), pray for SG & the world, & finally, be socially responsible when we have completed our dues. Together, we will overcome.

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...

Where is God in the midst of Covid-19?

As the death toll increase, my heart aches increasingly each day. They aren't just numbers, but they are a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a child to someone. I have many unanswered questions. Why did God allow them to die? Why did God not heal the land when He is almighty God? I am not angry at God; I am upset at the situation. I have no answer to date, but I cannot deny the presence of God each day at home. Even when my family is all locked up at home due to our Stay Home Notice, God remains faithful. He is omnipresent. I'm so thankful for His Shalom peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding that guards our heart. In the midst of the chaos, He is my tower of refuge. He is not deaf; He hear my cries, even the silent ones. He knows my brokenness. There are many uncertainties, but I know He is a faithful God. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. My income have been drastically affected, but my future remains in Him. Circumstances may have ...

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 💖
