thankful for my 3 babes!

wow finally

I am excited , finally got a way to blog on my iPhone and iPad !;)

and the kids helped out.....

My mother in law is finally making the much loved LAKSA!!!!!

There's lots of preparation for this yummyicious dush so instead of going to my new place as earlier planned, I decided to stay and help out my mother in law . Sometimes I am really amazed by her ability to whip up such a "tedious" dish and she never muttered a word of complaint or call out for help. Such is the love she has for our family.

Why tedious,... she actually had to grind many secret ingredients the day before to prepare the chilli paste . On the evetnful day itself, besides preparing the 2 pots of laksa gravy for the whole family , there's 2 chicken to shred, 20 over bolied eggs to peel, fishcake to cut, prawns to peel.....

this time round, I roped in the G kids to help... with the eggs and they sure impressed me with their diligence and SINCERITY in helping out... and of course, they had fun!!!!

hmmmmm....... and for memory sake , I also took a photo of a bowl of the home made laksa......

new home... new excitement

yeap... our new place is almost ready..... spent many weekends staying over and it's really beginning to feel like home.... cozy , personal and finally.. MY own home.......

It's a blessing , not to be taken for granted thhough many times , my fatigue in doing the house chores at the new place gets the better of me and I began to get groucy...

Thankful for my dear hubby and ( of course littel gracia) who's always there to remind me the "always give thanks with a grateful heart"...


haiz... gotto run off... Gracia's late for her art classs!!!!!

touched by an angel

I've not been in the best of moods for the last week of so with all the errands for the new house and my two little kids entering a diferent phase in their lives.



My little boy Gabriel has become more vocal and adamant in his preferences for food, sitting arrangment, who to feed, when to come out of the shower..... anything... no longer the compliant chubby cub........



My gal, bombards me with endless "whys".. or ignores me when I call out to her to brush her teeth, demands my attention to listen to her 1001 opinions and observations, ...



Hubby experiencing some "tornado" at work so it's been basically me running the home and kids over the last weekend and worse.. he's yet to recover from his terrible eye infection ..



wow. tough week........



Just as I sat down on the floor in the dark living room after everyone's asleep just now, feeling exhausted and down... Gracia pops out of her room and ask her infamous : "why , mummy"



For once, her " why" seems so warm and comforting. I told her I was tired after a loooong day.



Then she said the words that so touched me,

"mummy, dun worry, I help you clean up. I dun want you to be tired."
She hugged me and gave a BIG SMILE.



SO touched and thankful. Felt like I was touched by an angel......=)

Renovations... of my heart

This season has been extra busy with the renovations of my new home which started in the month of June...... it's exciting to see how our new home transforms with each new work done as the renovation progresses.....

Interestingly , along this same journey, God has also been doing renovations in my heart as He surprises us with his guidance and timely provision , teaching me more and more what it means to walk in faith and experience a life of adventure and surprises.

Lord, pls help me recall your goodness for this past month or so..... I hope to share on this blog..... to be continued... for now, it's zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

A poem of blessing

God said.....

If you never felt pain, then how would you know that I am a Healer?
IF you never went through difficulities, how would you know that I 'm a deliverer?
If you never had a trial, how could you call yourself an overcomer?

If you never felt sadness, how would you know I'm a comforter?
If you never made a mistake, how would you know that I'm forgiving?

If you knew all, how you would know that I will answer your questions?

If you never were in trouble, how would you know that I will come to your rescue?

If you were never broken, then how would you know that I can make you whole?

If you never had a problem, then how youd you know that I can solve them?

If you never had suffering, then how would you know what Jesus went thru?

IF you never went thru fire, then how would you become pure?

If I gave you all things, then how would you appreciate them?

If I never corrected you then how would you know that I love you?

If you had all the power , then how would you learn to depend on me?

If your life was perfect, then what would you need me for?
