Because He is, so I am.

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 go...

Coming to the end of the year, the best gift I had was a glimpse of God's faithfulness and love for our family 💖 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 🏃🏻‍♀️ 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 👩‍👧‍👧 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 🎄 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 💖

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 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 😅 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 ...

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 💖

We named her "Enya" because it means "fire" 🔥 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 🌶"😅 Thank God it has been a while since we last heard somebody calling her that 😃 It has been an amazing journey to see how God has transformed her inside out 💗 We aren't perfect parents, but we can look 👀 to our Heavenly Father who is our perfect Father. He is our best example, & He has already given us the best manual 📖 Very proud of you, Enya! Keep on shining 🌟🔥 #bestconduct #parentingishardwork #partnershipwithGod
