2020, New Job New Start!

January 28, 2020 0 Comments
Woahhh tomorrow will be my first day at work..Feeling excited, slightly nervous at the same time.

Wondering how the new start will be like...how will my colleagues be like... :)

At the same time, really want to thank God for the job.. cos this was what i had been praying for before the job came...


He is faithful and our provider!! Shall jiayou and work hard in this new job, to learn as much as i can here and be a good testimony for God~! :)

With my own strength, I am limited... there are flaws and imperfections and bad habits. But when we put Him in the centre, instead of striving with our own might, He helps us face our daily battles.


CNY

Been eating way too much this CNY!! Weight is jumping off the charts haha. 

In 2020, hope to have more time to spend with family, and also to exercise and lead a healthier life..Let's write it here so that it can be a goal to work towards. 

More time with family, more time to exercise. Combine both, and ....... Exercise with family together!!! Good idea.




Jiayou everyone at work!! 3 days to weekend. Shall update again soon. :)

Lunch with SOT friend/Ex colleague!! :)

January 23, 2020 0 Comments


HoHoHo~ So i finished serving my one month notice on 15 January 2020. Thank you to the supervisors and colleagues for giving us a hearty farewell, even though the time spent there wasn't long. Felt loved and appreciated, and left with a good note, knowing that He has better plans for me.

Immediately after leaving, went to job interviews, and by His grace, will be starting work next week. 

Really want to thank God for His faithfulness, and His promise, because He gave me a job which i was praying for. Pray that all will be good, will do my best at work, and at the same time will
have more time for my family.

Took time to meet out some friends whom i have not met for ages. Met my SOT friend yesterday, and we have a great time of sharing and edifying, praying for one another.
Met my good friend in SST today, and once again, enjoyed ourselves catching up and updating each other about life. 

Very encouraged when she told me, i can really write, (because am always writing grandmother stories on my FB, sorry friends).... and she say that since i like writing so much, maybe can write a book next time.

That is actually my dream one day. :) 

Looking back, this blog has existed since 10+ years ago with 628 posts? And i have been writing, though not with discipline oops. Though each time i write an entry, feel a sense of accomplishment.

Maybe i need to write 10000 post, like they say, practice makes perfect, and one day the dream may  come true. haha. 

Thank you to my friends who has been reading the blogs faithfully and letting me know, i am really thankful to the readers and feedback! :)

The tone of the blog has changed drastically from school days, used to be very hyper in the writings but has turned more mature since haha

Ok enough writing today, some pics with my good friend! :) 



Wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year with lots of blessings and good health!! Huat ah!!

1.5 days internship with Mummy Sister

January 23, 2020 0 Comments
Shall write some reflections after doing an internship with my sister mummy for 1.5 days ..*don’t judge k it’s my first time* 😅
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early in the morning at 5.30am, got woke up by my mother to go to my sister house to help..
Feeling excited to go and spend the whole day and night with her, jumped up and went. In my mind I was thinking of reaching the house, maybe sleep till 11am, and can start chatting with my sister and play with baby.....anyway, how tough will it be? It will be so fun and happy to spend time together with my sister and play with the cute baby!! 👶 🍼
I was so wrong.
Once we reach there at 6.30am, my mum took the baby and we slept in the room, the baby was so active and making sounds/crying throughout for two hours...I was in and out of sleep, echoing after the baby hoping that she will stop. Which she did a while, and continued.......
After two hours of very disturbed sleep, it was followed by, helping to feed milk(I fed 3 times yay!!), watch my sister pump milk, change diapers, bathe the baby, pump milk, eat a quick lunch, go and have lunch w colleagues, change diapers, feed milk, and my mum cooking, do laundry, etc.
Everyone was so busy and there was no rest time!
After a looooooong time when I felt that this has been ongoing for way too long and there’s too much activities for the day, (hoping that night has arrived as it means the end of the day), I looked down at my watch and to my biggest horror, it was only 4pm.
What!! So much has already been done but the day hasn’t even been over. And it is still early.. to do more.........😥
We then went for dinner and the cycle continues, looking after queen kaylee needs .. whenever she have needs. Which is every few hours. 👶👸
After a whole day of work (obviously them doing much more work than me and not complaining abit), I felt so tired with the lack of sleep, and started to feel headache, thinking that finally, finally we can rest and chill.
Usually after a day of hard work, we get to chill at the end, fruits of the hardwork, that’s how it works no? The well needed rest that keeps us sane!
But nooooo. From 11.30pm to 2am, baby started crying loudly and I remember in my sleep, I was waving the toy with sounds hoping she will stop, and sleep talk half telling my sis and mum why can’t we let the baby just cry to sleep herself, and how I am going to take grab home at 7am in the morning.
Hahaha I know omg I am such a terrible person. But I am so 😴 sleepy!!
Started praying for the baby to stop crying and go to sleep, while my sis and mum were outside calming the crying hysterical baby down......... and finally after. 2am+............ she slept.
When 5am came, supposedly my turn to feed the baby, I .... Let’s just say the baby was fed by people other than me.
Early in the morning, baby started making noises again till 11am.. and the whole cycle repeats.
After helping out with laundry with the bit of energy left, feeling slightly lightheaded and headache due to the ongoing cries, I decided to politely take my leave and go back home at 12pm.
back to the place where there is freedom and rest, back to the place where everything is normal and not so tough. Back to even working which wasn’t so draining as this.
————
All I can say is, all the mothers out there, you are doing such a great job juggling all these. So proud of you sister!! ❤️ and family support is so important! Grandpa and grandma of baby, thank u.
And to my bro in law, thank you for being such a hands on dad for my sister to be tag team with her 🙂
To the husbands, you may not see the work that the mothers are doing after a long day of work, (if you do that’s great), but it is really not easy... 24/7 work is real... finally have a glimpse of it now. (And I need to take a good rest now after just a glimpse tyvm)
Do show some appreciation to the wives if you are not helping.... 母爱是伟大的.. 这是你爱和答应一生一世的老婆，请爱她多一点吧。
To all children, really not easy for your parents to bring you up, they may be imperfect but they really try their level best to bring us up. Please forgive them and love them and treat them well. ❤️
Ok that’s all. Happy Tuesday #reflections #mothersarejewels
Having said that, took a lot of cute photos of baby Kaylee. 🙂 #growupwellandbefillialpls

Year End Party *28 Dec 2019* - Big Breakthrough

January 23, 2020 0 Comments
Long post!:
Today marks one of the biggest breakthroughs in my life. Made it to the greeters ministry testimonial book (last page)....shared my testimony today in front of 40-50 ppl holding a mike for ten minutes!
If you know me personally in front of a group, I am the shyest person ever. (Prefer to blend into the background and being part of the wall, so pls don’t ask me any qns haha)
But this was an act out of faith, as faith is the currency of God’s kingdom. Never so serious before, and prayed hours before this, and God really came through!
Not only did He not leave me alone to face my fear, He bless me with my husband/Trish praying for me, Team 13 and the wonderful Greeters ministry cheering me on.
Was I nervous when sharing? Yesss I was max.
But one day during church service, just had this revelation that this shaking of the hands issue when carrying mike -yes it may haunt me(maybe forever), but no matter what - and how silly I look with the mike shaking, I want to keep going up to give thanks to Jesus, and share His goodness in my life. 🙏
Before this sharing, had a Godly encounter while taking grab there.. this Christian brother told me some key tips when doing public speaking.......... how I shouldn’t feel discouraged when people are playing with phone or give you errrrr face, but focus on giving thanks to God.
That’s the main focus tonight: to give thanks to God who has blessed us. Not to worry how others are thinking of me.
Such a timely reminder.. showing that He is with us every step.. and we are not alone.
——————————————————————-
Actually wasn’t really going through the smoothest time at the moment with work the past three weeks😅.. but felt encouraged when some came up and say it was a sincere sharing and were encouraged=‘)
Really, this is a feat I know(and I know it) that is impossible if by my own strength.
But with God, really, all things are possible .. 😭😭😃😄😄so happy and thank God for this opportunity and for the ministry leaders to believe me enough to share(when I also don’t haha) !! 🙏
When they gave out the testimony book, woah I almost cried ... because one of my biggest dream is to write a book. (Don’t laugh! )
And I can feel that this is not going to be the end.. God is going to use and grow each of us more in 2020, going from glory to glory. Not going to be easy, but we can go through it partnering with Him...
Thank you to SOT, which I think without it, this day would be Impossible in this lifetime. (Yes the fear of public speaking is that bad)😆
Thank God for a good way to end 2019. And believing for an even better and more productive year ahead.

Baby Niece 30days birthday! :) *31 Dec 2019*

January 23, 2020 0 Comments
Spending the last day with precious family, happy to see my sister happy and cheerful today!! I love my sister ❤️ 🙂
The past one month had been heartbreaking to watch, to see my sister having to deal with the pain from c sec, the woes of breast feeding, the lack of sleep, the overwhelming responsibility that comes with a kid, giving up all her favorite hobby(mahjong) and also her favorite snacks... all for baby Kaylee. There is just so much sacrifice a mother had to make.
However, through this, also saw the great strength and perseverance that she possessed, never giving up attitude on pumping milk every 3 hours meticulously (omg I cannot), and how much a great help brother in law is. Thank God.
Indeed, agree that A delay of your plan is God’s protection. I must admit I am definitely nowhere ready for this a year ago, and maybe even now. His timing is really the best timing.(though He has been slowly changing my thinking over the year) ..
Hehe just so glad to spend time together today, and see you recovered finally from your wound, and hope to be able to do more next year with you, lil sister !! ❤️
How can I forgot my lovely parents who are always there for the baby and helping out my sister so much the past one month!! 🙏 thank God for parents, we are always a little child in their eyes. ) so glad they are finally proud grandparents! ❤️ #weloveyoumamapapa #hehe
