I'm back.....

It's nice to be back teaching again......I have missed it....it feels different this time around, definitely less pressure and more liberating.....

Taking it slowly...

But, it's GOOD to be back!

O level results

Some of you knew that Amanda ( my 16 year old) was taking her O levels exams and a few of you prayed for her.

Well, her results came out about a week ago....she got 7As ( A* for Maths) and 2Bs!

We are mighty proud of her....we thank God for her good results, and we are just so glad that all her hard work paid off.

I was so happy....could have gone hug all her teachers who have helped her along the way.

Special thanks to Ms Angeline who stood by her since she started school.....she is the kind of teacher every kid needs in their school life...committed, hard working, caring, responsible, and always look out for the best in the child....

Don't change the husband!

Hi folks....Just realised I haven't posted any message for more than two weeks! Dearie me....where did the time go?

Anyway, my 5 year old said something so sweet and wise today.

Mummy....you must not change husband OK? Even if the new boy friend is more handsome that your husband, and he tells you "I love you" many times....

I didn't even get a chance to say anything before he continued...

Or I will cry and cry...I will cry at home, I will cry at school, I will cry at music class, I will cry all the time.....

Sigh....if only some adults in this world is as wise as him....

The Telephone

I found a new definition for the word 'telephone'.....through my my 5 year old son.

He told me one day...mum, WX( a classmate of his) is my telephone.

What do you mean?

When D ( his crush) and I have a fight, WX is our telephone. Because D and I won't talk to one another but still we want to tell each other some things, we will tell WX.

I will tell WX...tell D to say sorry to me.

D will tell WX...tell Adam he has to say sorry first!

KIDS! I know they fight and have cold wars at the time, but this is the first time I hear the role of the 'telephone'.

The Cross

Adam, my 5 year old, have been having a tough time lately. Very anxious about the safety of himself and his loved ones. It all started with a nightmare that involved Totally Spies girls! He woke up one night two weeks ago, crying about something...he cant even tell us. The next day, he told us a confusing story of Totally Spies and me and him and daddy.

Anyway, since that night, he is always asking us...whether will bad guys come and get him, what will they do, is the house alarm on...and he will get us to pray with him many times a day against bad guys and bad dreams.

I have been comforting him by telling him that Jesus is always there to protect him.

Last night, I got a brain wave. I asked him whether he would like to wear a cross, just to remind him that Jesus is always with him. He agreed and I managed to find one in my jewelry box...a small one just nice for him to wear.

He wore it to school today, proud and eager to show his friends and teachers. After school, I asked him whether he shared about why he is wearing the cross to his friends.

He said...Yeah...I told them that if the bad guys come, I will use the sharp ends of the cross to poke them in the eye!

Aiyoyo!

Babies and more babies!

I am very honoured to be part of a beautiful and meaningful event in a dear friend's life. Last Tuesday, the 29th of July....I was in the labour room with her. Her husband was overseas, the baby came earlier than expected and I told her that I will be with her if she went into labour...and SHE DID!! Baby Yee Lynn was born on Tuesday at noon time...the sweetest and most beautiful baby I have seen for a long time. She is so tiny, so fragile, and so complete...I cried when the baby was scooped to her mummy's arms.

Sms my husband the good news and he replied....Congrats! You are a new dad!

Seriously, this baby will always hold a special place in my heart. I have already fallen in love with her. She is just so adorable....

AND, this tuesday...the 5th of August, I became a GODMA! Yeah! To baby Lucas, first born of Cheryl and Dylan. I have yet to visit them because they live far away but I have seen his photo. Can't wait to hold him in my arms.....

I AM SO BLESSED!

Dating....

My 5 year old went to his one of his best friend's house to play today. After he came home, he told me....

Mummy...D and I played dating today.

Huh? ( mum's eyebrows shot up high on her forehead)....what did you do when you play dating?

Oh...we went shopping, eating, but....we didn't go to sleep together ( he meant literally sleeping lah!) You cannot sleep together when you go dating because you don't have big big love. You only have small small love.

He continued....only husband and wife can sleep together on the same bed. Like you and daddy.....because you have big love for daddy.

Wow....he got it all figured out my little one!
