Living out Faith

So we'll be heading back to Spore this coming Thursday. So looking forward to heading back to hang out with the family and friends. A couple of weeks ago, a dear friend sent me a message via Facebook to check if we're going to be back in Spore the same time that she's going to be. And it turns out, yes! Our boys would be able to hang out and play. Then a few days ago, I was reading my cousin's who is also one of my best friend's blog, she's living in England for the moment. So she wrote that she'll be heading back to Spore next week. And I almost fell off my chair reading it. Popped her an email straightaway. Super excited to be able to see her again. Have not seen her for more than six months and more importantly, she's bringing her partner to Spore too. I've not met him. And yes, uber excited! I know that it might sound silly to be excited over little things like these. But its when one's living away from home that these moments become importan...

So yes, it's been awhile since I posted on my blog. Life has been same. Nothing has changed much. Well, except that Ba Ba's growing up a little too fast. Oh yes way too fast. Can't believe that he's already 19 months. But he's still a cute little kid. Totally adorable! I've been thinking a little about stuff as usual. I remember listening to a sermon once and that pastor said that we may not be able to change the situation that we are in but we are able to change our attitudes and when that happens, it would be easier or at least more bearable for us to face the situation. That kinda got me thinking. Well in life, we do not always get what we want. And the earlier we come to realize that, the easier our lives get. Hence, when little Ba Ba throws a tantrum, he never gets what he wants. And yes, do you know how ugly it is for an adult to throw a hissy fit at work? Anyway, yes, sometimes it's hard when we don't get what we want. Or sometimes we find ourselv...

As a child, I used to go to the playground a lot and had lots of fun. I was even telling a friend, whose husband I used to hang out with at the playground, at lunch yesterday how much fun I used to have. It was the childhood that I would like little Ba Ba to have. But guess I forgot that when I used to go to the playground I was at least 6 years old. So little Ba Ba was at the playground today when he met with a tyrant, bully, horrid and ill-mannered kid. But then, guess it's not really that kid's fault. I honestly blame his mother. So anyway, little Ba Ba was at the playground happily playing and running up and down when the bully came. First bully tried going up the ladder and pushed a little girl that's probably 1 year or maybe younger than little Ba Ba aside. And when the little girl's mother told him off, he elbowed the little girl. I was aghast! The little girl's mother grabbed the bully's arm and insisted that he apologized. And he did. He's probably ...

Once again Babe is away. He left early this morning and he'll be back this Thursday. I'm going to be honest and write that whenever Babe is away on Sundays, I get a little concerned. I get a little concerned because our helper, J will not be around and it's only little Ba Ba and me. When Ba Ba was a little younger, it was easier to deal with as he basically slept and drank his milk but now that he's older, things can get a little complicated. But this Sunday, it turned out fine. Actually, more than fine. It was great. I texted a couple from church who lives on Park Island as well if little Ba Ba and I could that a ride from them to church. And they were more than willing to help. After church we had lunch with them. Little Ba Ba behaved somewhat alright. Well, alright in my books. He ate his lunch, no throw up and minimal fuss too. So he was great. They gave us a ride home too. Got home little Ba Ba took a nap for 2 hours and I could recharge at the same time. Woke up, ...
