Living out Faith

Two weeks after leaving Singapore for Hong Kong, we're back again for Chinese New Year. Prior to coming back to Singapore for Christmas and Chinese New Year, I was very excited and happy because this would be little Ba Ba first Christmas and Chinese New Year in Singapore. Well, Christmas came and left and we had great fun catching up with the family. But there was something that made us a little sad as we left Singapore. Babe's 3rd aunty didn't look well at Christmas dinner. She had been feeling kinda sick and rundown for a while. Babe and I were just talking about how sickly his aunt looked over Christmas and we were hoping that she'll be able to get well soon. But who's to know what could happen. Just one day before flying back to Singapore, we got news that Babe's aunty fell, hit her head and had a blood clot and in a matter of a week or so, she went to heaven. We were in shock. Well, everyone was in shock. We made it home for the vigil and burial services. T...

So it's finally time for little Ba Ba to start school. It's not something that I'm looking forward to. I dragged my feet with the application process till finally this week, I could no longer put it off any longer that I went to the kindy and dropped off the application.

How would he feel? I don't care if he fails the interview. But then again, he wouldn't know that he failed the interview, right? Because he's too young to understand. Anyway, I had the conversation with Babe. We'll just apply for one kindy and if it doesn't work out with that kindy, we'll just keep him home for another year. And a year later then apply for a couple other ...

I noticed that I've not as written as much as I had in the past on my blog. Wish I have more time every day but since the arrival of Ba Ba, my blogging and even my time surfing on the net has been greatly reduced. He takes the bulk of my time apart from work. Not that I'm complaining. So now back to blogging. How was 2011 for me? 2011 started with lots of crying at home. Yes, we were blessed with little Ba Ba and January saw us learning to be parents and we are still learning to be parents. There were times that were frustrating but it was and it still worth it. The first 6 months of the year was also hard as we could not travel with little Ba Ba as we were under probation. But God was good. He brought people that we love and miss to us. We had family and friends that visited and ohhed and ahhed at little Ba Ba. It was very heartwarming to know that when we couldn't go to them, they came to us. Summer rolled along and we had little Ba Ba's papers finalised and we flew h...
