Deck the halls, it is November

It always is a shock to see the lights and baubles being put up along Orchard road & hearing the baritone voice of Jim Reeves telling us about how he dreamt of a white Christmas. Hello November. We are just inches away from singing Silent Night and Aud Lang Syne. A year has gone by- just like that. I want to take the next couple of posts to look back at the blessings of 2011, to give thanksgiving to a good God, a wonderful Father, a caring shepherd and the holy spirit who is the best teacher ever. There is the Nanowrimo event happening this month plus Christmas Advent calendars going on sale and I guess this is my Thanksgiving Advent Calendar being started in Novemer. Falalalalala. :)

A 5.24am thought

It's been awhile

I haven't been blogging much in a while. One reason is because I am beginning to feel social networking has complicated and perhaps killed some v treasured friendships that were ironically made online... another is because I have been busy being mummy to two boys. Yup. I have a second little one now and his name is a reflection of my current season- restful laughter. :) Baby Noah Isaac Wee joined our family in mid-Feb this year. Being a second time mum has brought with it new lessons as every child is different. I am learning how not to compare my children and to lean more on the HS- a very gentle teacher- as I parent two kids in two very different stages of their lives. I miss the mentorship of an older sister in Christ who perhaps has cut me out of her life, but I am thankful also for other friends and sisters that God has blessed me with. Esp thankful for those who have stood by me through the years... You know who you are. :) It was a season of growth through the hurts last yea...

12/12/2010 NCC Sermon Notes (Ps Lian was preaching)

What a blessing to be in a church where Jesus is beautifully unveiled. Christmas Jokes - Ps Lian 1) What does a mosquito do during the cold winter? - They give u a frost bite. Lol. XD 2) What is the fear of Santa called? - Santaclaustrophobia. XD Rock kid's testimony: Ps Lian shared briefly abt a boy with physical condition whose mum was worried for him. He shared with his mum about how Jesus is a healer and shared a Wigglesworth testimony that their teacher told them. The boy was full of faith. Gabriel- in April this year boy complained of a bruise. Did not go away after a few wks so saw doc n referred to children's clinic at NUH. CTC and MRI scan done and found a tumor right above his brain. Lesion in bone. Shocked. Neuro surgeon asked them to seek second opinion and adviced removal asap. The parents saw Ps Henry who prayed over the boy. Trusted God. Spiritual overdrive and told to rest, go for a movie. Since believed for healing and miracle, decided to go for second...

Nesting Instinct continues...

Well, hubby is now away and about to arrive in Gold Coast, Australia. =) Kae is at my parent's for the weekend. It's just Noah and me... and a ton of laundry to do hahaha. Just washed a bag I intend to use as a diaper bag, 12 white cotton nappies and am waiting for a laundry load to be done. Phew! I think when the baby comes, I will lose weight very naturally and very quickly from all that breastfeeding and from all the household chores that need to be done- more clothes to wash with a new addition to the family. Lol. Lots more cleaning too coz the house needs to be much cleaner with the baby around the place. Bought the white cotton nappies because I decided Bum Wear was $$$, takes longer to dry and I am gonna be using both cotton nappies and disposables (Drypers probably- altho' I love Mammy Poko). I am not the "green" sort of mummy- sorry folks! ^.^" Gonna use disposables at night and we head out. Nappies are for day use in the home. I also bought the napp...

Third Trimester- by grace alone =)

Well, here we are in the third trimester of my pregnancy =) I've been blogging at "http://bygracealone.tumblr.com/" pretty regularly but as tumblr is down- still- here I am at my trusty good ol' blogger blog again. I am now 30 weeks preggers and Noah's been really active. He has been doing his regular kickboxing exercises in there with stronger punches and kicks. =) I am going to miss all of that when he comes out into this world, but then I will get to smell his sweet baby smell and watch him gurgle, coo and smile. Warm and fuzzy feelings here. =D Ian will be going off on a work trip to Australia in 2 days time for about a week. I praise God that it is just for a week because he was orig scheduled to be there for longer, but the team finished the shoot earlier so he is able to go there earlier and return faster after packing up all the stereoscopic equipment. I will miss his help getting out of bed and doing stuff around the house when he is away. I am about 83k...
