Keep thinking positive !!!

Two days ago, I saw two of Val's netball teammates before their match. So I gave a short as usual pep talk to the girls like what I always say to Val. Then they replied :" now we know why Val is so positive!"  That warms my heart so much till today cos this is what I wanted to instill in Val since young, a strong sense of optimism, hope and positivity!  Yesterday, I saw her encouraging the junior girls as well. And I still can't help smiling when I think about how she inspires her teammates! I'm so proud of this princess!!! Well done baby!!!

Happy daddy's day!

I'm extremely thankful that my hubby is such a wonderful and involved dad!!! I know because of his loving and strong presence , they will grow up confident, secured and very affirmed. 

I miss my dad so much during my growing up years.  So Mum had to double up and I was uncontrollable!!! He was an extremely hardworking and sacrificial dad who had to work overseas to provide for our family. I'm eternally grateful for his sacrifice that I have a better life, awesome education and great standard of living.  But we lost many good intangible years that money can't buy.  So I told my husband that I rather have less, but a family that stays together. 

I'm so grateful that my hubby makes invaluable time for our children. Sometimes hearing their sheer laughter and seeing them just being together make me miss my dad. I wished I had it when I was younger too.  My dad realized the importance of family time , he finally returned and worked for less during my teenage years. I can't explained how significant it was to me!!! 

Now, I can't thank my dear hubby enough for helping me to raise our children cos I believe I can't do it alone.  I can never replace his fatherly presence.  Thank u dearest ah Lao, u are their super hero!

Happy blessed Father's Day!!! May our Lord bless u with wisdom, favor and joy as u raise them up with His grace , wisdom, love and joy!

A date with this pretty princess!

My precious princess's love language is spending time. And just bringing her out alone for a quick 'just two of us' date during the JB trip, she was so thrilled. She did not whine for anything except to see this sugar glider ( looks like a small hamster ) and she was beaming from ear to ear after that. 

I wanted to shop but I realized I needed to show her that she mattered more.  After the short 1 hr date, she planted a long kiss on my cheek! I know I have deposited love into her love bank! Worth it and priceless!

A date with this young man

Have not dated my dear son for such a long time. It was in my agenda to date them individually this June holiday.  Ta da!!! Finally our special one to one mother and son date!!!! 

Gab was elated since we planned this date few days ago. He loves durian and he couldn't eat it at home bec her two sisters hate it! So I actually reserved 2 D13 durians from this famous durian seller! I'm sure this will be one of our most memorable and pungent special date ever!!! We also had wonderful ice cream time as well just talking n laughing!

Happy blessed birthday princess!

Happy blessed birthday my dearest princess!!! U literally throw me a curve ball every other day,  but because of these 'intensive training', our bonding has grown stronger! My dear, life has its ups and downs, remember to go on a high road and trust that our Heavenly Father has great plans for u, plans to prosper u and not to harm you!  

 

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, 

and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, 

and give you peace!!!

Believe in yourself and I know u are born for such a time as this!! Keep the bright yellow pony that mummy had specially made for u , and be reminded you are indeed my sunshine!!! Always believe that something wonderful is going to happen!!! Shine princess shine!!! 

Agape luv mummy

Keep believing in yourself!

My dear competitive girl was supposed to rest today as she was given MC. But since she had been training so hard for this athlete meet, she refused to bow down to this virus. Seeing her sheer beaming face, I knew she did it well! I'm so proud of her toughness! She is one tough cookie, very determined, mentally strong and never succumb to pressure easily! Remember to use these life skills to overcome all your obstacles, encourage others to do the same and glorify God in your endeavors! U r inspirational! U spur mummy not to give up, n YES we will keep going!

Fight a good fight

I was troubled this morning. Sometimes being a mummy is simply overwhelming. We put every 'blame' on ourselves and sabotage our very well intentional desire to be a good mum. 

My three wonderful kiddos are not doing well in their life skills and obviously I suffered the guilt syndrome.  I have been very purposeful in teaching my kids values. Apparently, they did not imbibe along that way. 

So after seeking the Lord for wisdom and comfort, I feel the increasing calmness, hope and strength. I believe there were well meaning friends who prayed for me too. Thank u! 

This 'battle' is lifelong and it will get fiercer as they grow older. I know I will have the wisdom, creativity, joy and will be the living testimony to show them those values. I may err but I will learn. These incidents are life lessons for me to teach them intentionally and not to be discouraged! 

I will Fight a good fight and be purposeful in my parenting! Lord, be my light!
