Back in HK now. Arrived last night at about 11ish. Was a good trip back. to be honest, this last trip was the hardest to leave Singapore. And the irony, both of my parents were not in Singapore and the only reason is Jo Claire!

On the flight to Singapore. Yes, wearing mask because of the fear of H1N1. And this is also my first time wearing a mask. Almost gotten a headache from it!

Babe, Jo Claire and me. Joe, Joanne and Jo Claire picked us up from the airport. After dropping us off at mum's place, we went home to shower to 'wash the germs' away before heading over to Joanne's place to play with Jo Claire.

On Saturday morning, we attended Karen's wedding. God works in ways that we truly can't tell. I remember telling Karen that I can't make it for her wedding because I won't be back in Spore. But God's ways are higher than ours. Jo Claire came to the world early and we were able to make it to her wedding. This is Ashmund, Veron's son. Isn't he just adorable?

Here comes the bride, here comes the bride! Here comes the bride walking down the aisle.

My other favourite baby other than Jo Claire. This is Gabe. The last I saw him, he was this wee little baby. Can't believe how much he has grown!

Xiao Gu and mummy. Mummy is the one in black. Just look at the proud grandmas. The baby that mummy is carrying is Daphne. She's just 2 or 3 weeks and she's almost as big as Jo Claire!

Last Sunday was Jo Claire's first time going to church. She tried to be as good and quiet as possible in church but well, she's still a baby. And have a confession to make. I sat out of the message to be with Joanne and Jo Claire. Felt that Jo Claire was way more interesting than the message!

Just look at those cheeks! She's got the Sim genes. The 'bao' face. So round and chubby and cute!

Some of the cupcakes from Jo Claire's party. Aren't they just too beautiful to eat. There were more but I was too busy carrying the baby and talking to take pictures.

Jo Claire in her play mat. We bought this for her as a 'nice to meet you' present. But she looks a little tiny in the huge play mat!

Just look at that angelic face. Doesn't she just melt your heart? Kinda miss her now. Wonder what's she's doing now.

The trip back to Singapore was really good. And it also served many reminders to me. One of the things that was quite jarring was when Joe asked me to change Jo Claire's diapers and I'm like no....I don't think so. And he said that he doesn't think that I'm ready to be a mother. And I thought about it. Maybe that's true. At this point of time, I truly enjoy babies of my sister and friends. But to have a baby of mine own, it's something that I really have to think about. The other reminder was Amy. In a post that I wrote a while back, I met Amy though Stanley in Brisbane. Over time, she became a really good friend. When I met her, she asked me what was wrong 2 Thursdays ago. She read my blog. To be honest, I was surprised that she read my blog and she was concern enough to ask and to make sure that things are fine. I feel very blessed that God has given my a wonderful friend and sister in Christ like her.

It was a nice trip but I hate it when I have to make short trips. I have to really be careful with my time as there's just so little time to meet and catch up with so many people. Sorry, if I didn't manage to catch up with you. But not to worry, I'll be back in 6 weeks or so!
