Meet the Pooh Bear

This year is my first time celebrating Christmas and yesterday I had an experience of it. Thanks to Aunty Irin who posted a list of Christmas show organised by the shopping malls. Daddy bought me to Takashimaya to meet the "Pooh friends" after fetching Mummy from work. There is no show only meet & photography session. We manage to be in the queue and took pictures with Pooh Bears & friends.

I was extremely busy over the entire last week. Many events happened: Jillian went home to the Lord, my Ladies Ministry dinner & Thanksgiving night, family outing to the Zoo and finally on medical leave yesterday. Sometimes I wonder is it a good sign to be so busy in life? Does being busy means that we are still useful?
How many would take times to ponder over what has happened at the end of each day and gives thanks to God?
How many realised that each day we lived on this earth is a grace from God and we should cherish it by doing things that are beneficial to our loves one and to others. Some how I just felt tired at this point of time and wished I could take a break. But thanks be to God that His words gives me strength.

"He gives strength to the weary and increase the power of the weak" Isaiah 40:29
"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

To the zoo again

This morning we went to Zoo again. This time round was with Aunty Susan's family. It was some kind of family day organised by Aunty Susan's company. We reached there very early around 9am and oh my God the place was super crowded. Mummy said if she had knew it in the first place she wouldn't have come. We get to see more people than animals. This time round although the kids area is open we didn't went either because Mummy anticipated that it's going to be no room for us either. Nevertheless, Mummy still tried her best to take some pictures of us.

Always In Loving Memories

I just came back from a memorial service, little Jillian went home with the Lord yesterday night. Something which sadden the hearts of many whom knew about her fight with cancer. As I received the news this morning, I shed my tears. I told myself that it's something to rejoice because she's now in the safe hand of our Lord, free from sufferings and pains. But being a mother myself, the emotional part of me actually overruled my spiritual understanding. The little bubbly and cute girl who is used to be in our mist is now separated from us.

This emotional perspective was changed as I stepped into the parlour. The place was decorated with balloons, Jillian's favourite toys and a beautiful smiley picture of her despite the baldness. They are celebrating her life just as Kelly had mentioned in her blog. As I recalled back the past readings from her blog, I knew God is in their life together throughout this journey. The love and grace of God is truly and greatly being demonstrated. The comfort He gives, the miracles He has shown and the favours He provided to Jillian during those periods. Not forgetting the strength and wisdom He has given to Kelly during the past 8 months while she cares for her baby.

Jillian has fulfilled her mission in life on earth, she has shown us that in adversity God's covenant still stands strong and that God will see us through to a glorious conclusion. For Jillian, she is now enjoying her reward in heaven which is eternal. Therefore this separation is temporary cos it's only the physical part that is gone but her spirit shall prevail.

"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die...." John 11:25

For Jonathan and Kelly :
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13

Er Su's Big Day

Day 1 (Nov 11, 2008 Tuesday)

It was Er Su's wedding day. The whole family was very excited and busy making preparations for this event. As for my family, Mummy was the one who was very busy. She has to work on Monday and rush home to pack our luggage's because we will be staying overnight at Grandma house and 1 night at Shangri-la Sentosa. So much so until she forgotten to take the grocery (my food) home from the office's fridge and early the next morning Daddy had to sent her to office to pick it up.

Below are the pictures taken during the day and at the dinner.

Day 2 (Nov 12, 2008 Wednesday)

We woke up pretty late today at 8am. I guessed everyone was tired by last night dinner and that includes me. Mummy and Daddy went to the cafe to have their complimentary continental breakfast but for me I only eat bread with milk.

Hmmm when can I start eating adult food???

Since we are checking out from the hotel at noon, Daddy and Mummy decided to bring me to the Underwater World to see fishes. However they do not know the exact location of the Underwater World until Daddy drove out of Shangri-la hotel. It was just next to our hotel all these while and because there is no parking lot near it, Daddy had to drive all the way out to a public car park. From there than we took a tram back to the Underwater World. What a routing and so much time wasted. But nevertheless we still reach our destination and enjoyed the tour

Yeh! it's play time for me

Is the water gonna be cold Mummy?

Hmmm.. how come the journey so long?
