Skilled workmen

are such a help!

• Contractors who do small repair jobs.
• Rubbish bin cleaners who clear 100 families (1 flat) worth of rubbish have such strong muscles, helping to carry down my rusted bed frame and folding it into pieces in order to fit into a small HDB lift.
• Installation/Assembly/Delivery men who are so careful when delivering stuff into house and assembling it when they are so tired out and sweating from transporting it up to flat. They are truly efficient and really appreciate those who clean up after they finish their work.

Appreciate! Appreciate! It's a big matter to one who has an injured neck/back. The amount of energy and muscle power. Pray for them that their health will keep up with the kind of work they do in order to feed their families. May they stay away from vices and come to know our Creator God who made them and sustains them daily. Maybe I should have given them a gospel track? Hmm...missed opportunity...

Funeral of parents

is the next stage of life which my generation is at, after having almost exhausted the weddings and new births period. 2 friends/acquaintances had their dads' passing away during these two weeks.

E's dad - 63 years old
R's dad - 73 years old

Thought of my Dad (78) & Mum (71)...hopes someone will read bible with them...it's a niche ministry!!

Kids' pneumonia

is so scary. 2 friends had their boys being hospitalised just last week. Both had similar progression. Pneumonia - bacteria in blood - wheezing - cough - liquid in lungs - pus in lungs. 1 was more severe than the other because 1 was generally weak in nature since a baby. So, the weaker one had 2 surgeries (really don't like surgeries due to the complications it involves). These kids are only 3 years and 5 years old.

So burdened and worried for my friends and the pain of seeing tubes in a child so small. Everything the doctors and nurses had to deal with was shrunked and tiny.

Had nightmare one night of me trying to unclog my kitchen pipes with a strong cleaner. THEN as I poured the cleaner the kitchen sink started disappearing and I screamed! Not knowing how to stop it from disappearing. At that moment, my friend's kid was with me and he played with the cleaner and poured it onto his hands and he screamed and was crying and I quickly grabbed him to rinse it away at the disappearing sink. I was crying and panicking and saying 'silly boy' to him. Then I woke up. The feelings were horrible! If being Aunty is already filled with such emotions/feelings, what more a parent seeing their child in hospital and the kid being miserable with tubes stuck to his body and feeling all sick.

Went to see kid M and tried to cheer him up with a dancing robot. Just thought a dancing robot was a funny creation and he could sing a song as it danced. My heart dropped when I saw him, he lost weight due to funny medicine taste remaining in his mouth. Thankfully he ate abit more of his dinner than usual. Prayed for him that he will learn to trust God, our Creator, and not in himself.

Thankfully both kids are on their way to recovery. Keep parents' health and their siblings' health in prayer during this time. So much to rely on our Lord who is ever so faithful to us =)

Christian parenting priorities

is it to raise your kids to be moral and hence not be a menace to society, or to know the Lord Jesus, be saved and hence not be a menace to society? Often find even in my relationships with friend's kids I tend to do the osmosis of morals. Still learning how to help them get to know my Lord Jesus.

Lobang for my M'sian friends...

Hear ye! Hear ye, my dear M'sian friends!

Found out from an angmoh trainer (base in M'sia) during my IT course that M'sian passport holders get some discounts from Singapore Visitors Centre. It will differ from month to month. Trainer said there was a time they gave out Robinsons voucher, and another time Jurong Bird Park entry which costs SG$18, M'sian passport holders could buy tickets for Ringgit$18. Cool hor! Quite innovative I must say. Bring your M'sian passports to Singapore Visitors Centre and see what you get yar! Abit like lucky draw. haha!

Quick! Come visit me =)
