What I need

..is a good sleep. After travelling few days at Australia perth, sis and I realized one thing - both of us needed good quality sleep so much! Feel embarrassed to share, but we were sleeping most of the time when we were in perth! When children are not around, when sleep is a true sleep, what a blessing we have.

On the way back from aus to Msia, at the last 2 hours, sis asked me 'how? Another 2 hours, then we will be back to normal, children, housework, office..' Haha 2 desperate women on flight :p















Anyhow, I feel happy to see my children when I reached home from the trip. Abnormally I slept in laogong's cuddle :p guess what, this song was playing in my dream, repeatedly.

亲切温暖的家庭,
若是没有爱流露
就失去温馨也不再有生气
没有爱主家庭,
只剩下表面问候
就如响的锣钹充满虚空

付出我们的爱,
凡事包容忍耐
就让我们真实相爱,
让我们彼此关怀
在爱里在恩典里,
流露基督香气
流出主的美善,
流出真诚的生命

This song talks about there must be LOVE in a family, if there is no love, all the greetings are only a surface actions. Must give love and loving each other. Well, this explained the 'abnormal' act of me, to allow me sleep with laogong loud snoring at the night :p to show my love to laogong ^0^




A short note to say hi to you, happy Thursday! Gambatte!

00:02

Super sleepy from day to night, after the kitchen cleaning and the living hall sweep and mop, and yet, I can't fall asleep. Can't sleep well at night. Just wanted to do more and more to realise what are in my mind. Managed to catch some nice sleep at perth.

Been preparing my Friday cell group sharing in these few days. Reading few sermon sharing during lunch time. The more queries popping up, the more I study the bible and understand the God's words. No wonder people always saying, you don't wait for understanding the whole bible then only you become a Christian, if there is the case, till the day you die, you would not be one ;)

Yes, last time my 'ambition' was to be a Christian. A Christian who loves to sing hymns in the church as I enjoy the harmony and peaceful atmosphere in the church. I wouldn't know there are so much do's and don't's in Christianity. When I got baptised, what was with me at that time - believe. Believe that through son of God - Jesus Christ, my sin would be forgiven and cleansed, I can go to the heaven. Day by day, from not so serious Christian - not living out those do's and don't's, or from uncertainty, well, not to say I am the good one now, anyhow, it is getting better to try to be a good one ^^

People may say there are so much rules and laws set in Christianity. At initial stage, I found it that way too. Sometime I was doubtful on those 'statements' stated in the bible or from other church members sharing. When day passing by, when I got to know more about bible teaching, I would find 'the freedom from the not-so-freedom不自由的自由'. When you know what you been getting from God, who is The Lord, who is the saviour.. The more you understand and affirm the uncertainty, the more you found those so called rules, are nothing to be compared to the real peace and joy, the promises on eternal life you received from the holy one. 'Automatically' you obey God's words just because your heart loves to.

I told my sis, this is not a good example, I am quite often reluctant to share this good news to my very closed family members, as I worry people may have the thought - 'come on, she started again her God's story' but when come to the time, when I see my loved one are in anxiety, stressful, no peace and joy in their hearts, I just wanted to share this gospel to them, with hope, people surrounding me can have the faith towards our tomorrow, to have the peace and joyful hearts, to know the purpose of our living, to see love in this world, to feel secured with the eternal love from the sole holy one.

This hymn popping in my mind tonight.. English translation at my level best^^


有一位神
有权能创造宇宙万物
也有温柔双手安慰受伤灵魂
There is a God
Having the power to create the universe
And yet a pair of tender hands to comfort the hurt souls

有一位神
有权柄审判一切罪恶
也有慈悲体贴人的软弱
There is a God
Having the authority to judge all evil crimes
And yet considerate the weak with his mercy

有一位神 我们的神
唯一的神 名叫耶和华
有权威荣光 有恩典慈爱
是昔在今在永在的神
There is a God, our God
The only God, His name is Jehovah
Having power authority,
Grace and love
The God for yesterday, today and forever more

有一位神
高坐在荣耀的宝座
却死在十架挽救人堕落
There is a God
Sitting higher at the glory seat
But yet die on the cross to save deprived people


If you are feeling lonely, in fear, at your weakness, seeking strength for going through your daily life, wanting peace in your heart.. Just close your eyes, speak to The Lord, praying in Jesus name. You are not alone, God is be with us. What you need to do is to quiet your heart, and listen to His calling. Jesus loves you and me.

God bless^^

Travelling

Travelling to the Mother Earth. Since when, my hobby has switched from reading to travelling. Am still reading, mostly on spiritual reading to let me understand more on the bible - the God's word. In my last training session in June, when the Australian trainer asked about our hobbies - my answer was easily - travelling.


Trainer: when was your last trip to?
Me: japan in February
Trainer: where is your next destination?
Me: Taiwan
Trainer: have you ever think of coming to Sydney?
Me: I will be going to aus next year.
Trainer: that's great!


This morning chat with sis, told sis I wanted to make a timeline chart, so I record the places I been visited :) we talked about our future travelling plan. Sis was looking forward for a snow covered mountain winter trip ^^


I am looking for trip - to go to their local church, Sunday school, market to know more about local residents activities. Or going to some nice places to learn to cook their local dishes or attending a class or two. Not to be a tourist but to be a traveller. Sounds great!



The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.

An unplanned travel trip is a good break to recharge myself. Grant me more insight about myself. Gather more creative ideas towards living daily life. Experience the beauty of God creation in real senses ^^

Your score?

Came across this on fb sharing..


Sometime we are not aware we are indeed staying in happiness


There are happiness which only parents can feel it


Little dependency creates great love. There are moments, when the whole world slowing down


Indeed, the closed sweet moments, won't repeat everyday


Those sweet moments, wont be forgotten by me


In fact, those loving moments, are indeed for several years only. There is an angel comes to you and to help you realize and understanding the meaning of life

Dear parents, please accompany and be bonding with your children, there are growing up in real soon.

Last night I completed a questionnaire given by the school on parents role in building up good characters of children at home. From parent's education level background, monthly income to number of children at home. Then you will get a scoring to rate yourself and the school will further study this result and helping the parent who is in need in improving the situation.



I asked my bbb to do this questionnaire with me. The scoring is mostly on how many days a week you practise the behaviour eg how many days in a week parent..
Praise their children
Talk and give care to the children
Asking about their school activities Story telling and teaching children
Talk about moral teaching and religion
Doing activities together
Reading together
Guiding children in doing homework
Giving tuition to children
Etc


Do this questionnaire with children is to make sure both of myself and children have mutual understanding on the effort. Most of the time, we might have the thought of I love you so much, at the other hand, the children go and tell grandparents or teacher - 'my mummy doesn't love me' this happened to my Angelina :( to avoid I syiok sendiri, better let them rate me.

Learning environment - 4/10
Communication - 33/35
Building children character - 33/35
Children academy - 23/35

Total 93%. You can see the lacking in children academy >_< as this I have given to day care center to take care. Or we can say, I am more concern of children character build up. Anyway, there is big room for improvement, although my children are proud of my result! Hehe 93%, royee: yes! Mummy you got A+ :p



Last weekend when we went back parents house to celebrate my mama's birthday, along the journey, royee was watching the Korean pop star's concert music video. I told the boy, next time we go for concert, you can feel the hit and beat. Yesterday I came across this 'we love' concert, a concert which gathered Christian artists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia to spread the power of love. I am waiting for the organiser reply, if children are allowed to attend this concert. If yes, this will be my bbb 1st concert ^^


This is the haiku I created for company positivity month campaign. I am not the winner but I myself like this scene. Colourful rainbow and smiling sun :) full of hope and promises ^^

Somewhere over the rainbow
God abides In the land called Glory
Far, far beyond the sky

Shining stars


我的一小步
梦想的一大步

My small step is the bigger leap to my dream!

This is how I feel this morning. Doing something differently and I am changing myself to be out of my comfort zone. I am joyful and peaceful in my heart ^^


Continue with my daily homecook lunch. Continue to treat my children good. Got a hug and kiss from laogong this morning. Have a nice breakfast talk and being silly with my sis ^^

Many things are in my mind..



Hope sis and I being chosen to join the markets stall selling our handmade stuff. The important 1st step to one of our dreams ^^ how to set up the booth, what to be on sale, exciting journey!



Want to join this. Snapping children video on hymn singing, bible verse recite and more. This morning I watched my children baby time singing videos at YouTube, cute! May get baby Shyuan to join the fun too!



To study this and plan to teach Sunday school children do this felt craft. Colourful and nice.


Recently been wanting to draw a picture with water colour. Need to find a fine time and good mood to paint a syiok-sendiri picture :p my children draw almost everyday. Creativity grows, idea goes wild, when we quiet our mind and focus in hand work like drawing :)



Hope I can join this type of musical worship session with my children one day. Maybe I shall plan for next year glory tour trip like this @singapore ^^



Want to do this with children this month, hopefully we can make it. Like this piece I seen from the net. Will try to make it with clay.



Some journey is far, walk forward is tiring. However, if we don't step out, we would be regret.

Gambatte!
By the way, how to say gambatte加油 in Aussie local language ya? ^^

Report card

It's time for parents to get children result and time for parents to know if parents have done good effort with good result in teaching and guiding children to be a better one.


So yesterday I went to the school to get 'my' report card.


A parenting talk from the school before collecting the report card. Like this school coz the teachers not only focus on academic results but the building up of good characters of children and grooming of the children interest and talent.

'Parents shouldn't bring children go travelling during school day' as the headmistress said, we might save the travelling cost by travelling on non peak season, but we gonna lose so many lessons up the children eg children confused on prioritising important responsibility to less important things. When they grow up, they might have issue in managing their schedule and responsibilities. Good point taken.

Talking about guiding children in managing their daily lives and doing house work. Got shock on the news sharing an university student commit suicide because of hostel mates teasing the boy for not knowing how to wash his own panty by himself. Yes, nowadays, children have maid or mother as maid to take care the basic needs and responsibility of the children. Till the extend, children don't know how to handle themselves when there is no mother or maid around them. The stress level handling has caused many sad cases happen too.


Long queue at the corridor waiting for children result. Guess, many parents waiting to know how their children behave in the school, how are the results :) anyhow, to me, if the parents are willing to come and wait for hours for the report card, they love their children. Just the matter, not all children know what children want, and the right way of teaching their beloved children.

I saw a standard 6 big boy was sobbing, the mother non stop ranting 'you better change, or else no one will friend with you, then you gonna be a loser. No future for you. You better thinking properly' I feel sad to see the boy sobbing till face and eyes is pinky reddish. Words and expression from the mother, to me, is hurting. How I feel to go and give the boy a hug. I feel him not feeling loved. How sad it is when mother tell you, you gonna have no friend and no people like you. The mother was fierce. After talking to the boy, she met her friend, again, the mother shared her angry stories with the auntie... I feel sorry for this..Was thinking to go to the boy and tell him 'boy, don't get sad, you are not alone, Jesus loves you. He has plan for you. You have eternal love from Him'



This is royee looking at the sobbing boy. I shared this story with children this morning. Royee asked me why I didn't go to tell the boy Jesus loves him. Yes, I feel so sorry for that. I told children, I wanted to do some love note cards and keep in my bag, when there is a situation we want to let people feel loved and heart healing, we can give out the seed of love. Children said they can do that too. Ya, together we spreading love :)


Love to see the 2 gals :)


Nice to have siblings having same memories ^^ they go to the same school, day care center, art class, choir group :) so when they complain about teacher or classmate, can hear 3 of them talking in the same channel ;)


Was planning to take half day leave for the report cards collection. Then it was late for even half day leave. Decided to bring children for an easy but costly outing :p told children let's celebrate! 'My result is no good lo' 'teacher said my attitude no good lo' well, I explained to them, teachers shared your success stories too! We will improve the no so good portion and we gonna have bigger celebration in the year end for greater achievement.


Cute gals.


When we passing by Haagen Dazs ice cream outlet, I told them, one day we will come here to have a try. The boy said expensive la. Well, let's think of a deal. All agreed, by 25dec2014, if we have full attendance for church choir class then we come here for a treat ^^ all happily agreed.


The day end with Ramadan bazaar food as dinner. When children look at the young girl helping the mother selling coconut drink, I told them, mummy was thinking to get a weekend food stall so we can sell something and learn to do business. They are supportive on this idea 'mummy we can sell handmade items' 'muffins' mummy said maybe fresh fruits from grandpama house ^^


Am thankful to have very supporting and outgoing children ^^ I told them when come to age of 16, together we outreach to foreign countries and perform short missionaries and helping the needy. They said ok. The way they answer and promise like the natured adults :D


Love my children and love the role of being a mother. Learning and growing with the children, making me a better person :)
