Arise and Build!
Monday, March 8, 2010
Ja came to me excitedly yesterday after service and said,"Mummy, do you know we are moving to Suntec for church very soon?"
I asked him how he came to know about it and he said children's church told them.
So when he saw the Suntec Convention Centre on the front page of City News, his first response was.. "Wow! So they are going to knock down this whole Suntec and build a City Harvest Church there??" LOL! Think he imagined the building to be liken to Jurong West St 91 where there will be a big cross and a big CHC name!
I clarified with him that its not going to be so.. think should have made him an EM and let him hear the explanation from Pst Kong himself during the AGM! (Just joking!)
Then Ja's next response was.." Wow! Then next time after service, I can go straight to the arcade and also Toys "R" Us!!! Wow! That's NICE!!! (I nearly fainted!)
Ja: "Mummie, teacher said to bring my piggy down to church next week for Arise and
Build.."
Moi: "So, how much do you intend to give to build God a house? How about the whole
Piggy?"
Ja: "Erm, No la.. let me count my money inside first, then I decide.."
(FAINT FAINT!) Actually, I think Ja is a smart boy. He loves God but he doesn't just give without thinking! Hahaha or rather, should I say he is counting his cost!!
Well, perhaps today i will empty his piggy and count his coins together with him. Will have to let God touch his heart for the amount to give.. I will just stay out of the picture!
Unequal amount, Equal Sacrifice!!!
Let's Arise and Build!

Exciting 2010!
Friday, March 5, 2010
Went to visit my buddy's baby yesterday and I must say babies are sooo cute!!! Another buddy of mine said that I better don't do so much hospital baby visits after my third one cos every time I do so, my heart opens up to babies once again! Anyway, come to think of it, if everything is to turn out as planned.. Maybe... just maybe... I can have a 4th one??!! HAHAHAHAHA.. Erm, but Ck didnt say NO to that idea!
We'll see how la hor.. after my third little one is out! OH gosh! I am such a MOTHER PIG!
So far my pregnancy is getting on well. I always tell the little one inside me..."Baby you got to be strong ok? Mummy is going to have a hectic lifestyle but you will be safe in my tummy! Enter into the rest of The Lord ok!" And honestly, this is what I have been speaking to the baby every morning especially when the day is a hectic one for me!
I am feeling slightly better from the evening sickness.. Now I crave a lot for fruit juices, smoothies, sour drinks, yogurts... and this is so different from Ja and Jew! Think it's better too.. more healthy.. as I always crave for Ice milo DINOSAUR in the past and Tsk Tsk.. its so sweet! Planning to engage a second helper probably in a few months time.. Think Jona's hands are really full with the chores, cooking, Jewjew and the tird baby that is to come.. SO praying for yet another good helper! My buddy said should look for a helper whose name starts with "J". Cos it seems like the trend is the "J"s helpers are usually quite good.. proven! Lol!
I must model myself after my buddy Eileen.. who only gained 7 plus kg in total and her baby already takes up 3.4kg! Wow! She has only gained 3 plus kg on herself! My inspiration!!
So for this time round, I hope.. really hope I will only gain at most 10kg?? As compared to the previous 2 which were a consistent 17kg!!! Cant tell right? I honestly don't know where the extras went to as they were not big babies too..My Bottom?
Am really believing that 2010 is going to be the best year for me and CK! What the bible says is true.. There is power in agreement! Felt this year, our marriage has grown stronger and closer! Haha maybe we have passed the trying year of the 7th year! Felt this year both of us have entered into a maturity level where we can share deeper fears and concerns of our own lives to each other, agree on our common goals for the family , the way we handle the kiddos.. yeah, I feel happier! Think in every marriage, there is always seasons of bashing through, building deeper trust and respect.. all these sound so cliche when I heard them in the past but its really so so true!
So to all married couples out there... Keep on loving, sharing, respecting, hugging and building your family... Its a MARATHON! Cheers!

Ja's first visit to his school dentist!
Wednesday, March 3, 2010
Last Sunday after service, Ja came happily to me from his children's church and showed me 2 missing teeth in his mouth! I was shocked cos for once, he looked so Boh Gey! Hahaha! Think the chldren's church teachers all freaked out cos he was bleeding quite a bit! But that boy was so proud and happy that his teeth that have been bothering him for a week have finally dropped off!
Two days ago, he came back from school and showed me ONE more missing tooth! That means THREE in total! Well, he is really "AIRY" now:)
He was so proud of the fact that he visited the school dentist to pluck out that loose tooth and that the dentist gave him lots of freebies like cartoon toothbrush, toothpaste, activity booklet etc! Kids nowadays are so brave!
I remembered when I first stepped into the school dntist when I was in Primary one, I was literally shivering with fear. And yet to Ja, this was like a fun experience! Well of course, he can skip a some classes while at the dentist! I hope his other teeth will not drop too soon cos he is really "BOH GEY" now!!! So much so to the extent that Jewjew saw his mouth, she would start pointing her fingers at Ja and LAUGH!! Literally LAUGH as in "Hahaha"!! That really pisses Ja off!
Thought of sharing this funny story here:) Cos for the first time, I saw how Jewjew teases her gorgor and make fun of him:) And that didnt stop after one day!! For the past 2 days, whenever Ja comes back from school, she will run to him and say " Gorgor, gorgor, teeth teeth!!" and start laughing! lol!
