You are my Strength when I am weak <\b>

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23:1-6 NIV)

Please allow me to come out of this(devastation) stronger than before....

You who promise is Faithful

Amen!!

To Him be the Glory

Can't thank You enough for Your faithfulness.

You are always faithful when I am faithless

I always remind myself never to take Your goodness and grace for granted!!

Thank you my dear Jesus

To you alone receive all the glory

Love you!!

Zoo Outing

We had a so called first "fun-filled" outing to the singapore zoological garden on last Sat. We were supposed to join our dear Alumni for this outing over the long weekend...However, the children were all down on the actual day and we had no choice but to "pang she" the Chia family for this most looked forward outing together.

Despite of that, Derrick and I decided to go on the following day since Abby was feeling better. I think I am more excited about the trip than my princess herself. I was filled with much anticipations and excitement about the fun Abby will have. But deep in my heart, a very realistic voice told me I might be disappointed.

True enough!! Abby ain't that excited about any orang utans, hippo or the polar bear. In fact, we spent a lot of time trying to tame her down as she just master the art of walking and all she cares about is walking around the whole zoo without restraint. Both of us were so shack after an hour of carrying her. Lol

Since Abby is too young to understand what's going on in the zoo, we decided to skip many interesting animals and proceed straight to the water play. We knew her too well. We will not go wrong with playing of water.

Abby went crazy at the sight of the water play. She dashed toward the water play like a lady who met her prince charming. I was so unprepared as it was our first time (after 10 overs years) to the zoo. I was completely drenched!! However, seeing the joy and laughter from my princess, I think it was all worth-while.

A picture paints a thousand words. Some of my colleagues told me that Abby looked so happy and thrilled throughout the zoo trip. Sad to say, they were only half correct. Those smiley and candid shots were taken by a very professional and skilful photographer (I am force to say that to please him)

To be honest, I realised that zoo now have become so much more interesting compared to the zoo that used to be boring and full of mozzies. Will definitely visit again when Abby is more " dong chi"

Do you believe in "好兄弟"
This is a very disturbing experience I encountered when I went roxy square for massage...

Today, I went to this massage parlor that I always patronize since I started working in dbs. Sadly, the lady who always massage for me had quitted during my maternity leave. They then arrange this 50 odd year old guy to do the leg and back massage. Since I have no problem with them all these while, I went ahead willingly.

As I was feeling extremely sleepy today, I doze off most of the time. But then in my dozing off mode, I hear this guy mumbling. I thought he is talking to me. I woke up a few times but to realise he is not talking to me actually. Puzzled..Shortly, I realise he is actually talking to himself.

After the leg massage, he started to massage my back... At this point in time, I felt extremely uncomfortable.. As the body contact is kinda inappropriate... I then hear him talking to himself again. This time he spoke in hokkien... "you Chinese man speak in Tamil?" By now, I really buay tahan him Liao.. I look up from my seat and ask him who is he talking to?
He then replied in mandarin... "sorry ah... This place is damn haunted. The Hao xiong di keep disturbing me". He also mentioned to me that he can see those ghost and he is talking to one who is behind me...

WHAT THE HELL?!!

This man is crazy?!! And he is massaging my back... SHIT !!!!
He continued asking if I believe in ghost and kept saying there is alot of ghosts here. As I was about to call for a stop to the massage session...this paranoid crazy guy urgently asked his female colleague to play 大悲咒 in the shop. And the female colleague also 乖乖 took out the CD for him....

I am like.... Oh my gosh... You mean all the rest also believe in him ??!
Why do they hired all these weird people? Come to think of it, i feel This man looks like he need some serious exoticism.
Eventually, I call for a stop to the session, pay my money and left the place angrily...- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

End of Maternity

Time Flies.

I am ending my 16 weeks maternity and going back to work tomorrow.

It's a mixed feeling that I have right now. Both happy and sad at the same time. Happy about working as I felt quite out of touch from the society yet I wish to spend all my time with Abby and watch her grow up.

As I looked back the last 16 weeks of maternity, it has been a very life changing experience for both hubby and myself. From the day my water bag burst and gave birth to Abby, I cannot remember having a day of uninterrupted sleep. In fact, I am actually quite amazed by my own body tolerance. Maybe this is what they call mother instinct. Most importantly, I have conquered zzzz monsters.

I recalled those difficulties I encountered when I first latched on. It is indeed A VERY TIRING job. Nipples were getting sorer and sorer (if there is this word) and also very painful when it started to engorge Latching or expressing milk every 3-4 hours were troublesomely no joke especially in the middle of the night. But of course I am getting more comfortable with breastfeeding now as I persevere on. After a while, I find a great fulfilment and bonding with my baby as I continue to breast feed. Kudos to all breast feeding mommies. You are the greatest.

Watching Abby grows day by day is the greatest joy I have experienced throughout this maternity. There is an indescribable joy in taking care of her and watch how she respond back with her smile. I am thankful that she is a little smiley lady and that's what I have always prayed for.
Dear Lord, let the joy of the Lord be her strength.

So, for our memory sake, I have done up a simple video using iMovie apps on my iPhone to remember those life sweetest moments we had during my 16 weeks of maternity. Kudos to the Best and Longest break I ever had i life.
