Living out Faith

We've been in Spore close to two weeks this Thursday. So far it has been really great. We touched down on the 19th. It was a little nerve wrecking in the beginning as I had to fly alone with Baba but Baba was absolutely great! He behaved so well.  The moment we touched down Singapore, we had a ball. A week later, Babe arrived in Singapore. Initially Babe was worried that Baba would forget him but of course Baba didn't. In fact, every night before Babe arrived, he would ask for Babe. And sometimes Baba would give me a sad face when he asked for his dada. Babe arrived and we had Baba's birthday party last Saturday. It was a blast! Sorry no pics for the moment as I was too busy to take pics and Jacqui hasn't given me any pics yet. We had to have Baba's party early as Babe might be busy with work and he might be traveling during that period. I'm really glad that every year, I get more than four weeks off and it's nice to be able to chill and spend time with ...

So we're just a footstep away from summer holidays. Yes, just a tiny baby step away. Monday will be the last day at work and my last work of work at the school too. It's kinda bittersweet as well. Anyway, this post is not about leaving my work but rather summer plans. Months and months before summer, probably just after Christmas I started making plans for summer. And notice, it's I that was making plans. So I had grand plans from going to meet Eve in Hawaii to going to Europe to going Maldives again and a whole range of plans. But I forgot Babe in the equation and then I started discussing with Babe and plans started to roll again. But time and time again, we had to change our plans as Babe has to work and also travel for work. We had to factor that in. Finally, we had our plans firmed last month. Singapore first, then Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne and then maybe Bangkok. And in Singapore, we were meant to have little Baba's second birthday party there too. And restauran...

Last Saturday, 30th of June, Babe and I were getting ready to go for a farewell party in our estate when Babe received a text message. He yelled out to me that his grandma passed away. Obviously he was very upset and he told me to go ahead to the party without him. So I went to the party with little Ba Ba and returned home in less than an hour. I wanted to say bye to our friends. I first met Babe's grandma more than twenty years ago. I met her in church. I actually met her before I met Babe's mother. Babe told me that he was brought up by his grandma. When he was young, he lived with his grandma and his cousins and he lived with them till he was fourteen. So understandably he was quite upset. Popo was a very God fearing lady. She would read the bible and pray for her children, grandchildren and great grand children every day. When we got married, Popo was very elated for us. She loved Babe heaps. Over the years that I've known her, I've never seen or heard her raise h...
