Growing taller

Evelyn suddenly thought of taking the heights of the kids:

Don't think I will ever paint this part of the house.

The last thing I am gonna do before 2010 leave for good

Year end dinner? We didn't go this year.

Count down party? Never like it.

Late night movie? Only when the kids get bigger.

Overseas holiday? Not a bad idea.

What better ways to spend the last few hours of 2010 than to recap your whole year?

Thankfully I have this blog which I can recap with Eve and the kids (thou they are still young).

Many things and changes have happened this year but we are thankful for what the Lord has given me.

At least it is from my point of view. Maybe along the way we may be reiminded of other things that happen along the way.

2010 has been great. But I know 2011 will surely be better because one thing for sure is that Jesus return is getting closer.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Eillot visits

Eillot drops by yesterday.

Great to have you back. Had a great chat brother.

Christmas week 2010

Had many plans on where to go and what to do over Christmas but ended up staying at home.

Evelyn got sore eyes on Friday so have to miss her cousin's Christmas Eve party, Christmas Service. Even Amos fell sick. He was wheezing and coughing because of the cold weather.

They are better now but I would have wished for a more "Outward" Christmas.

At least I am grateful that we are spending more time as a family together these few days.

Going back to work tomorrow after 2 days of child-sick leave.

Hope that everyone had a great week!!!

Merry Christmas!!

Got her tooth just before turning ten months

My wife told me to put wan.

Saw yesterday that Zoe got her 1st tooth (can see already) just about a week away before turning 10 months old.

We are not alone

Questioning can be a very dangerous thing. It led me to a point thinking that the future is all dark but again all it takes is a little reminder that God good. It's an encouragemt that I don't have to face my problems alone.

The way of things are at times too complex for us to comprehend. Simply trust and obey the one who is in control.

What will you read when you are old....

What will you read when you are old? I recently ask myself and I think it will be the bible and my blog.

No need to say more about the bible but my blog?

People have different views about blogging. Some good some bad. The reason I blog from the very beginning is so that years later when I look back I can be thankful for the things in my life.

How many of us still remember the things that happen to us 3 years back? How was your son's first walk? How was your church camp experience last year? How was your journey with your spouse?

Memories are precious and worth remembering.

Recently I have been guilty of not updating regularly. Pray that I can be more regular in my update in the future....

Almost Times Up for 2010

How should I sum up for this year so far: The arrival of Zoe? Us getting married for 3 years? Moving on from DG? Increasing challenge in parenthood?

Just few of the many things and challenges in life. As the year is about to come to a close and a new year awaiting for us, we are still thankful to God not only for what He has provided for us but for His promise of the 2nd return of Jesus.

Do spend more time to reflect on Him during this period for we tend to see our own reflection more.

Amos is tough

Amos is sick again and it's bad.

Bad in the sense that he doesn't take medicine. Since young, thou he not very old, he never like medicine. He makes it difficult and as if we are feeding him poison.

We are wondering does he understand us on he did it on purpose. But I think this shows how stubborn he can be when he doesn't want to do things he don't want to.

Just pray that God will work in his heart that his heart will not be harden towards the gospel in the future.

For honour and glory.... one more time

This year marks the tenth year I was enlisted to Hendon Camp (13th June 2000). Can't believe it's ten years and many things have changed since I left Poly then.

This Friday will be my company's ROD parade. So looking for to seeing them in the last parade. Thou I wouldn't be in it be I am glad to be present.

5th Coy, for honour and glory one more time.

Church-less

We haven't been going to church for the past few weeks due to many things (work and kids falling sick).

Pray for us to be rooted in Christ.

Working Saturday

After last Saturday's BBDC Ride Safe 2010, hopefully this Saturday's Family Day will be the last working Saturday I will have.

The good thing abt the Family Day is that we are going to spend time at the Universal Studio.

But then again, I have got a talk on Sunday....

I remember EGT

Reminds me of a trip with Elliot, Gab and Tim 4 years back.

Was it Dec 2006?

Amos and the gate

For those who hasn't seen Amos in awhile this is him now.

Long time no post his pic liao.

Zoe recovered from fever

Praise the Lord that Zoe had recovered.

Time short?

You might realise I had not been very regular in updating my blog. Other than the kids and the increase in work commitment, it is also because Evelyn & me are trying to sort out our priorities in life.

We have been complaining about lack of time but I was reminded after posting a comment on Grace's recent entry on her post on similar issue. Lack of time is generally an excuse for we already know there's only 24hrs a day so it's a matter of how we use our time.

Without going too long winded, we gonna constantly ask ourselves how are we using our time for God. Have we wasted our time for our own gain and pleasure rather than pleasing God. If we are in Christ, no matter how bad or difficult the situation we can still give thanks to God for He is greatest gift God has given us.

Pray that we will not be blinded or misled by the world's standard of security and remember the great promise for Jesus.

Pray also for those who have yet to know the Lord to open their hearts to listen to His word for the message from Jesus is different from others.

Peace be with all of you always. Amen.

Zoe having her first fever

She got feverish on Tuesday night and was confirm yesterday after seeing the doctor, not to forget Evelyn and my mother also not feeling very good. So the 3 ladies saw the same doctor together.

Back to Zoe, she's very different to Amos. She is so much easier to consume the medicine as compare to Amos, which lead us to wonder did our method towards Amos was wrong or was it character.

Pray for them to recover and that Amos will not fall sick, which Evelyn just mentioned that his temperature is also a little high.

Season of raising babies

To be frank, it is a mixture or joy and difficulty taking care of the children. Not to forget work and other things that we need deal with as a couple. And it's true God can be in the back seat of our car if we are not careful.

As much as we enjoyed it, we pray that we will not be children focus. Our prayer to all of our brothers and sisters in Christ, to be focus in Christ all the days of your life. Pray that we will not lose our focus in Him.

Good day!!!

Zoe starts to crawl

She had been trying to for the last 2 weeks but last night I managed to caught her new skills on video. Look up for it on my FB.

Praise the Lord for her growth.

TGIF? What it means to you?

It very common to see people posting TGIF here and TGIF there. Truely we should thankful for many things in life because of Christ. But what are people really thankful about when Friday comes?

I for one have to admit that I am thankful because the work week has ended and the 1st thing that comes to my mind: How should I enjoy myself? Movies? Shopping? Maybe playing my games?

Well, having children in a way make it hard to plan and do things I want for myself. But I have to confess the thought worshipping God doesn't comes to my mind first when Friday comes.

Is this a sign of putting myself first and God take a back seat?

I pray for all of us to give thanks to God all the days of our life and when it comes to TGIF, remember to thank God first and focus on how you can worship Him and spending time doing His purpose. He is our great God who in Him we can find rest.

Peace be with you all. Praise the Lord it's Friday.

Say a prayer

Sometimes we don't pray enough. Not that God's plan will not work if we don't but it's a reflection of our relationship with God.

Some might be praying all the time but unknowing to us we might be praying only for our wants and not God's will.

Take sometime to pray my friends. I pray that you will walk rightly with God. In Christ alone we trust.

Play the right game

Games are good, it can be a way to distress ourself and can be a good way to bond people together. But they can be very damaging to us too if we are not careful.

I pick up Zombie Farm and Office Heros, 2 iPhone apps, last week and I can say I quite enjoyed them. But the more I play, I realize that they are occupying too much of my time. Every hour or so I will check for updates and not wanting to miss a task or harvest.

To some it may be okay, but I felt whatever the case is we are actually spending our time, effort and focus on sometime that demands our attention that does not benefit myself in the long run.

I have deleted those games but I am not giving up on games. Just be sure that we are in control rather than being control by the games.

How do you know that the game is bad for you? It is bad when you choose it over other good things like spending time with your loved ones, doing a loving act for others and most importantly spending those time with God.

So beware of what games you play next because God give us only 24hrs a day so we ought to use it wisely. There is a purpose for us and to focus on games at the expense of others is not one of it.

Praise the Lord for all the things He had given us.

Spent your time wisely

Earlier mentioned that we had plans for our future ministry but as the day goes by, it seems more and more difficult. More importantly, we pray that we can spend our time wisely.

SYOG 2010

I dun know about you but I wasn't looking forward to the SYOG before it started, maybe because I am being deployed.

I am reminded to be more prayerful over the weekend and to be frank my negativeness is something I am not proud of after listening to Chris' sermon.

I thank God I am able to face it now with a more cheerful heart, even when it meant long hours on the road. Thank God that I am able to pray to Him all the time.

Tomorrow I will be bring Amos together with my mother to watch the hockey matches, Evelyn will join us after school. Since this is the 1st YOG, I think it will be nice for Amos to have a feel on such an event. Already looking forward to see his expression tomorrow.

As for Zoe, still thinking if I should bring her but surely will bring her along for the swimming leg on Wednesday morning, which Evelyn will be on duty to bring her students to attend too.

Thank God for the opportunity to do something that does happen very often together as a family. But I am just so grateful to the Lord for letting us spend time together. Praise the Lord!

Danny and Audrey - Happy 3 Years Anniversary

Found some old pictures on the night of 26 April this year so I thought to post it today. Taken during Danny and Audrey's Wedding 3 years ago!!!

Mr and Mrs Tan

Really had a great time helping out Gab & April's wedding over the weekend. Thank God for their union and pray that they will have a great honeymoon. Hope to see them back soon.

It's been close a year since I help out in a wedding. Think I may not be able to help out much in any future wedding as Evelyn is finding it more and more difficult to handle the kids.

The last of Gab Tan and April Chin

Today marks their last day as individuals and what awaits them are a life long of love, support and service for each other under the provision of our Lord.

I am honestly excited as apart from sister's wedding, this one of our so call "晚被的婚礼". Looking back my past ten years in ARPC, it sure brings back fond memories of the time everyone had together with Army Boy Gab and School Girl April.

Who can forget the Gab whose looks now the same as many years back, which is still an auntie favourite. And how about April, who can forget her bright smile in those glasses. Also the wonderful time in PUNJ and BGB serving together.

Tomorrow is the start of their journey as one and I pray that above all they will trust in the Lord daily. Praise the Lord their union.

And for one last time, good morning and farewell to 2 wonderful individuals and we now eagerly awaits the arrival Mr & Mrs Tan. May the Lord bless the both of you in the years ahead and that you will serve God faithfully all the days of your life together.

Amos can speak

Finally after 2 years & 5 months. Not that he can't, just that when he call daddy not sure if he is really calling me or just using it for everything.

Last Saturday before going for NDP duty, I finally heard him call "Mummy" and "妹妹" when I point him to them. And he is also fall asleep at night when I tell him to, which wasn't the case before.

Thank God for helping Amos grow. Now we're entering the next phase for Amos. Pray that we will be good parents that teach him the way of the Lord faithfully.

Hello Loh Yong En!!!

Welcome Welcome!!!! Welcome our little Loh coming to this world today at 6 pm!!!

Thank God for watching over the Lohs and pray that Jo-Lyn will recover soon.

Pray also for Yew Minh and Jo-Lyn will raise up Yong En the way the pleases our Lord.

Pray that one day Yong En will come to know our Lord Jesus as his Lord and Savior.

Store Make Over

Took me 2 hours to clean up my storeroom. Managed to throw away many things that "moth and rust" destroy together with Evelyn around midnight.

Was telling Evelyn next time when we buy things we must consider carefully if not many things will end up in the storeroom again.

An advice on what you should throw if you can make up your mind. If something is there and you never use them, chances are you will never use them anymore. But of course it depends lah. But surely you can throw at least 60% of the untouched things.

Remember, moth and rust will get to them one day so buy wisely. Thou I still want to get the Iphone.

Loh X X is coming

Visited Yew Minh and Jo-Lyn yesterday. Thank God for everything and finally the day is coming. Looking forward to little Loh this week!!!

There is purpose for us everyday

Until God calls us home, He has a purpose for us everyday. Sometimes we follow, sometimes we act blur. Sometimes we brave the storm in confidence, sometimes we are just clueless.

But whatever the case we tend to forget one thing that all of us can do together; Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord for He is who He is that we are saved.

Praise the Lord for He is who He is that created all things.

Praise the Lord for He is who He is that His promise will come true one day.

Praise the Lord for He is who He is that only He can help us to finish the race.

We have our own unhappiness and complaints but please don't forget the one that gives us live and hope for everyday is a day of purpose.

Praise the Lord for He is who He is.

Decision Made

July is coming to an end and I have taken about 3 weeks to decide what's the next move for us.

Thanks God for having the chance to talk to Daniel yesterday afternoon that help me to sort out my thoughts.

Refresh needed daily

I am so happy that the campaign ended yesterday. Usually now is the time to tell myself "job well done" and "take a good rest" but in actual fact I am into planning for the next one so not much time to really rest.

Unknowingly we are in such a cycle our whole life, just that we love the cycle of enjoyment & holiday over work & assignments.

All in all I am reminded that every moment of our lives we need God to refresh us. When we enjoy the world too much we may forget God. When we are stress out and got tired of the things we do we may not remember to praise God.

Thank God for He is who He is. Be close to Him to refresh yourself that you will not forget who He is. Praise be to our Lord.

When they were 4 months old

The thing about taking photos for your children is that when you take a picture of your younger child you may think about how your elder child looked like when they were the same age.

Thankfully I got it.


Do they look alike or different?

New beginnings

6 months passes by quickly and now we are into the 2nd half of the year.

Evelyn going back to work soon, Amos in toilet train camp, Zoe is getting nosier and we are looking around for new DG, but to be exact actually already found one.

Pray that as we move forward we will continue to be faithful in serving God.

July 2000, the start of a good time....

July 2000 was the start of good times for me.

It was the first time I visit ARPC.

It was the time I attended PUNJ on Friday night and the time Edmund prayed for someone who doesn't know how to pray.

It was the time started a new relationship with the youth group. It started then and lasted till now.

It was the time I got together with Evelyn.

It was the time that I started to learn to know about God more, day by day, even when I seemed hopeless to others.

My good times began in July 2000 and it lasted for the past 10 years. Surely there will be many more to come because of Jesus. Thank you God.

Do you remember when your good times started? God is good, all the time.

PC 2 years!!!

Praise the Lord for Paul and Cake's 2nd wedding anniversary!!!

Pray that God will continue to bless them and they will use their gifts to serve the Lord.

I may be 2 days late in wishing them but they actually held their wedding dinner on the 30 June so technically I am not late after all....

30 years and counting

Thanks to all for the SMSes, facebook messages, phone calls and people who gave me a surprise birthday party at my place.

For someone whose job is to create surprises, it doesn't really come as a surprise to me on this special day. BUT.. I'm really touched by everyone's effort to celebrate for me. Thanks.

Although it's my big thirty, the main thing I am very thankful for is that God had watched over Evelyn and she is still by my side.

I also thank God for all of you who had journeyed with me all these years.

I'm looking forward to the many years to come and another wonderful session of "Guitar Hero". Hopefully they will have a Mandarin version by then.

Back to NS after 10 Years

I went to the Camp during my NS days 10 years ago to conduct a talk. Still can remember how I first went to the camp then.Also saw my CSM and some of the old company mate there.

Apart from the "wonderful" memories I had at Blk 12 (I stayed there for 2.5 years), I remembered how Evelyn would travel down to Tampines to meet me in the train during my nights off. Even if it was only for a very short while.

I remember that, even after 10 years.

Safely back at home

Thank God for keeping all of us safe back from church camp on Sunday.

Not sure if the same gang will be able to drive up next year but surely we are thankful for the enjoyable trip together with the family of Daniel's and Li Chuan's.

More on the "3 in 1" teaching next time.

Sometimes when you can't sing

Sometimes we can't sing because we dun know the lyrics and music.

Sometimes we can't sing because we are not in mood.

Sometimes we can't sing because we are filled with emotions.

The last is the saddest but it also shows how much the person meant to you.

May the Lord our God gives us strength day to day as we live each day for Him and that we may enjoy every moment that He has given us.

Sick in time for Church Camp

Thank God I am getting better after being sick for the last few days. Should be 80% fit for the camp tomorrow.

See you guys then!!!

Flip at 3 months and 5 days

According to Evelyn, our daughter flipped today.

Thank God she is growing healthily.

Understanding and Appreciating

I was talking to Evelyn about Toy Story 3. I think all parents should go and watch Toy Story 3. The story tells about Andy growing up and leaving for college. Sooner or later, all parents will face the reality of their children growing up one day and leaving them.

I think it's human nature that we will not fully understand our parents' love until we become one.

You may never understand it if you never go through it. But you may not need to go through it to appreciate it.

I thank God for enabling me to appreciate the love that I experienced from the people around me. Thank God for allowing me to appreciate His love for me through His Son, Jesus.

Thank you Lord.

Singing to your children

I always sing to Amos ever since he was born. It became more frequent recently. I hope to do so for Zoe too.

I think this is one of the best ways for us to teach him about God.

To be frank, I actually prefer singing him to sleep to reading books. It's more enjoyable. especially if he could join in...Just wonder how long will I be able to do it for. There will come a day when he no longer want me to sing to him. I will surely miss these times but for now, I thank God for every little and big moments that He had blessed us with.

Thank you God. I pray that you will also enjoy every moment that God has blessed you with.

June is KTV month

It's official. I declare June is to be my KTV month.

It must be because I missed singing for a long time or maybe it's because of the show on channel 8 last night. I don't know why but I think it is okay to find a time to do some thing that I liked once in a blue moon.

It might not serve any greater purposes but I'm sure it's not harmful to anyone.



Al'tho I declare June to be my KTV month, it doesn't mean I will be singing every weekend.

I am gonna fix one of the days in June to sing K. Once in a year during your birthday month isn't too much to ask right?

Anyone wanna take care of my children while I go K?

I have you.

Been getting tired easily lately. Maybe it's my age, maybe it's parenting or maybe I just wanna do my own things.

But what ever it is, I have you. You alone is enough to give me the boost everyday to carry on.

I pray that everyone who is tired can be recharged through His word.

Praise the Lord for everything.

Someone and someone got married 3 years ago

Someone sang this song to another someone 3 years ago. Tho not the full song but the meaning is there.



And now that 2 someone are thankful to the Lord for the great three years together. Pray that in the many years to come we will live out our lives meaningfully for the Lord.

Thanks to all of you who has been with us all these while. Life in this meaningless world is meaningful only in on Lord Jesus. May God's peace be with you all the days of your life.

Last DG for the 1st half of 2010

We attended the last study for Eccl last night:

Evelyn keeping Amos occupied.


Burping Zoe.

Lesson to be learn? Life is meaningful in Christ. Make full use of yours for God!!!

Btw, thanks Fang for taking the pictures. Now everyone in the Tuesday DG knows that you are not a full time photographer. Ha ha ha ha!!!

Zoe smile like Amos

Zoe's taken last week:


Amos' taken during his 1st MRT Ride


They look so alike when they smile.

3 to 4 months to lift the head

Managed to find the entry of Amos when he managed to lift up his head. Also around the same time as Zoe.

But I think she should be able to speak earlier than Amos....

Head's up!! Everyday is a blessing!!

Zoe head's up at 2 months old, nearing 3 months!!


Rain or shine, sick or healthy. Everyday is a blessing from God!!

Btw, how old was Amos when he 1st lifted up his head?

See you next year Lings

We gathered for a "send off meal" last Tuesday at the Central.


The Lings left yesterday and will be away from us for a year. Pray that God will keep them safe and
God will enable them to settle down fast.

See you next year! We'll miss you guys!

Amos and the table

Taken by Alex during DG on Labour Day.


He happily played around the table during and after the DG.

当你孤单你会想起谁

This is the original song by 新少年俱乐部. Hope that this song brings you good memories.

How long more can you carry your son?

As I was carrying Amos last night with our images reflected in
the mirror in the living room, I suddenly have this in my mind:
How many more years can I carry my son?

Looking at him grow day by day, a day
will come when I can no longer carry him.Or I
should ask when will he stop enjoying me carrying
him as he gets older?

There is a time for everything and as a father
I thank God for the joy he has given both Evelyn
and me. Surely we will miss this little version of Amos
(in fact I already missed the baby version of him)but I am
sure God will continue to bless us with joy even when
Amos grow older.

Pray that all the parents out there will give thanks for their
children. God is good, all the time. Even when they cry non stop.
Ha ha ha ha!!!!

Passing on of a brother

Cherry's father had returned to the Lord early last Sunday morning. Praise the Lord for opening his heart to accept Jesus the day before.

The encouragement from Cherry's testimony is that in God's good timing, He chooses and save his papa. Likewise for us. Continue to pray for our loved ones who have yet to be saved.

There is not a tough nut that God cannot crack. Never give up and keep praying and witnessing for this is what we are called to do.

All I wanna do is find a way back into love....

Had this song last night while shopping with Evelyn and reminds me of how some of us were at one stage and maybe some who are still finding their way back into love, especially when one fall out with the other.

There are many ways that one can deal with it. Hate, bitterness and unforgiving. But these are all the worldly ways of reacting. We have one who is able to bring us back into love, even during those very difficult times.

We never realise that when we reacted badly towards others we are actually doing it to Him. Look to Jesus and draw strength from His word. Repent and forgive for this is what God wants us to do.

He is the only way for us to find a way back into love. Never lose hope. We are praying....

How are they doing?

What my kids did during the last week of April 2010:

Amos painting at home.


Zoe suddenly smile at Evelyn.

Trust in the Lord who is in control

Recently heard a sad news of someone losing their loved ones.

Without going into any details, I just pray that the family will be strong and continue to trust in the Lord. It can be hard to come to terms that God is good when He took away our love ones but God is really good and always will be even during such situation.

Let's continue to encourage one another to be one in minded in Christ and have confident in our salvation, that is secured in Him 2,000 years ago.

Be confident also that even for those that He have suddenly called home, in any situation, that they are saved as long as they have accepted Jesus.

Take heart that at the end of the day it is not what we do but what God has done that save us sinners.

Never lose hope in Christ, never.

Praise the Lord who is able to for we man are not able to.

Justin's Farewell April 2010

The date was 18 April 2010. Location: Justin house near Bishan.

Dun remember what we were laughing about...


The night Paul Scholes scored in the 93min of injury time against Man City. Ya!!!!


We also happen to celebrate the April babies (Not Amos. They borrowed him). And regarding their age....


Cake and Eve plus Zoe!!!!

Interestingly his house got 2 fridge cause his sister likes to cook. And he can make good desert too!!! Maybe he should have stayed in Singapore to open his own shop....

Take care Justin!!! Hope to see you back soon!!!

Who should go for church camp?

Church camp is THE event for Evelyn and myself. We are thankful that we managed to sign but by the deadline last weekend. Did you missed it?

I still have 2 more DG members who have yet to sign up as there were unable to make it for service this weekend so pray that they can still sign up.

Over the years I have met various people during the Church Camp and their reason and purpose for going can be different. Some go to learn more about God, some go for the cheap holiday, some go for the fellowship and there are some who did not know why they go at the end of the trip. Whatever it is, it is surely another wonderful opportunity for people to come to hear God's word and to know His great purpose for all mankind.

People make their choice on whether to attend the church camp or not. No one has the right to stop anyone from attending. The only one who can stop the person from going is themselves.

Pray for those who have yet to sign up to be able to head down to the Golden Horses this June. May we continue to encourage people around us to come and listen to God's word and be sure that we do not push them away.

Busy with the babies

Last night was one of the few nights where by I spent "quality" time with the 2 little ones as Evelyn went for her lesson.

It was not easy at all. I didn't know the Zoe's behavioral pattern so she ended up making a lot of noise the whole night until Evelyn returned. I manage to make her catch short naps here and there but I had to carry her all the time. Thankfully my helper was around to help. Not to mention Amos was running and climbing all over and I had to make sure he didn't hurt himself.

It's not an easy task for parents to handle their children that God had entrusted. Each parent has their own strength in taking care of their kids and I am grateful for Evelyn that she make up the other half, maybe more, that I am not gifted or capable in the area.

I pray for those who are parents and parents-to-be to work hand in hand with your spouse to bring up your kids in the way of the Lord.

Keep each other accountable and may you find joy in bringing them up, with the help of the Lord, together with your spouse.

My favourtie movie scene

Like to share one of my favourite scene from a movie:

I am a train man

I took the Circle line today. It's very nice. Maybe because it is new.

The traveling time is about the same as my bus ride to work. The good thing about taking the train is the chances of being delayed by unexpected jam is minimum (other than the train breaking down or disruption).

Am really looking forward to the Downtown Line in 2015.

Having a Flat

The thing I like about having your own flat is that I can keep adding new things into it. We want to have everything at once but we can't afford them. Part of the fun for us is to be able to buy new stuff slowly and watch it fill up.

Just added the bookcase to our bedroom and we suddenly feel the surge of urgency to fill the flat with a sofa lah, TV rack lah and even install a ceiling fan in the living room.

This of course will cost us a bomb! So we shall see how it goes along the way. But we are thankful for the fact that even if the house is not fill with "the things we want", we are still a complete family. Thank God for Evelyn, Amos, Zoe and also our helper.

Who knows maybe God may bless us with a 3rd child? Ha ha!! (I'm dreaming on...)

Sleeping in the living room

I slept in the living room last night. Not for a bad reason but because Amos fell sick.

I brought him to the living room and he finally slept off in the midst of watching Tom and Jerry. ( I slept off too!)

I wasn't sure if he woke up in the middle of the night. Maybe my dear wife knows?

I changed his diapers at 5am and he was still sound asleep when I stepped out of the house. He never saw me till quite late in the evening. Pray that he will get better today.

Hidden Meaning

The thing I dreaded most is when one says something yet means another. You will not feel so bad if you don't know it but when you find out, you feel very bad.

May God help us in these situations even when the other person didn't receive what they expect from us. We would try to give them the best that we can. And for what we can give, we give in hope that they will come to know the Lord more and more and that they may not turn their backs from the truth.

All I can do is to pray that I will live a life that pleases God and not man. Everything I do and say, I trust in the Lord. For Him and Him alone I live.

May your focus in life is for Christ.

Remember the goodness of God today and the days that is to come

I long for those days whereby Evelyn and myself can meet up with anyone at any place and at anytime but for now we are "grounded" with our AZ. The feeling comes especially when you can't do the things that you used to enjoy. But it's another way of God showering us with the joy of having to little babies.

As we grow older, I realise that what experiences we had before, be it good or bad, is for us to come to know God better, in terms of our relationship with Him.

Thou I miss the good old days in PUNJ where we meet at 2pm followed by service at 5pm than followed by at least a short 45min of discussion where to hang out and most of the time we ended up at Holland Village by taking a bus there, all these are part of the goodness of God that shows us the best of things. Sharing the good news to people and encouraging one another in our walk with Him.

I pray that especially when you are feel down, let the past good times reminds you the goodness of God. He is faithful and will never forsake you. And may you not put God into your blind spot when you are enjoying your life.

God is good, all the time.

Photo from the past: Evelyn and Amos having lunch one sunny Sunday afternoon

Taken on the 12 April, Sunday noon, last year. Had lunch with my in-laws and AMK.

This is how you handle your baby boy if they want to eat your food

Baby boy:"Open your mouth, I wanna eat too..."



Baby boy:"Mummy, open lah..."



Mummy (thinking to herself):"Better swallow before he dig it out"

Baby boy:"How come mummy don't let me eat..."

Handy Manny Weekend

This weekend is the 1st weekend after Evelyn's confinement and we went on a shopping trip to Ikea and bought a number of stuff home to use.

I felt like Handy Manny where I got to buy stuff, rearrange them and got to fix our long awaited bookcase:


That's for now. Still got many things we wanna get.

Amos and the big grey fridge

At 2 years, 1 month and 19 days old my Amos can open the fridge himself.

He did it infront of Evelyn this morning and seemingly worried he will get scolding from Evelyn he sat on the spot. Eve was about to scold him but she said at that moment he was so cute and didn't scold him in the end.

Still waiting for him to talk.

Love the unlovable

What do you do when one does show love to you? Treat them the same way?

I was reminded this morning how I should love others even when they mistreated me.

Praise the Lord for loving us when we are unlovable.

When you find hard to love others, look to the cross and ask Him to comfort and help you. He who is faithful will surely answer your prayer.

Planning ahead with the joy of the Lord

Thank God giving us Zoe and it's been a month since God safely entrusted her to us.

Things are definitely different now and we pray for God to help us to do things that pleases Him as we starts to plan for family, DG and ministries.

The road is long and to be frank I do wish to have more time to be a couple with Evelyn (maybe in 12 years time?) but we are thankful for the changes in life that God has given us.

God gives us joy in ways we never could imagine. Though there are ups and down but I think (with my limited knowledge) these are part of life.

Thank God for the joy. In seasons and out of seasons, weekdays come and weekends go, God's daily blessing for us never changes.

May you remember to thank God (the One who is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow) for the joy He has given you in Christ.

Babies weekend

Celebrated Zoe's 1st month on Friday and Saturday. Thanks to all of you who made it and pray for us.

Also thank God for the save delivery of Terence and Ann Ni's daughter Alyssa on Sunday.

Change to be not changed

I suddenly have this thought that we are "changing people", whether we like it or not.

From children to adult, from single to married then to being a father. Not just physical change but our change in charather in different stages of life.

I think it is man's unique ability to adapt to different changes in different season of our lives. But no matter how many changes we choose to have, for good or bad, there is one thing that should never change, our dependence in the Lord.

We always change. Change for our family, change for our ministry, change for anything that's good, or even bad at times, but never should we change our dependence in the Lord.

Pray that even when the days are dark, I will always dependence in the Lord never change. Keep me safe till you take me home Lord.

Getting married after 18 years

Was just informed by my friend of 17 years getting married on 21st May 2010. Not going to review who is the person so for now I will just leave it as that.

Pray that the desired hotel is available if not will have to change date.

So looking forward to it already!!!

So what's your choice: Insurance or Assurance?

Which will you choose? : The world's insurance or God's assurance?

We live in a world which says that insurance provides security and it's almost unthinkable or even abnormal not to have it.

But what we actually need is God's assurance. Whoever believes in Jesus have the assurance of salvation.

We try our best to get the best insurance in the world as our safety nets but we have to fulfill many criteria and it might not guarantee everything or anything at all.

But with God, we need to fulfill only one criteria --> To believe in Jesus.

Isn't funny?

God freely gave yet people rejected him. They used their whole life chasing after something meaningless.

So what's your choice: Insurance or Assurance?

Looking forward to Toy Story 3!!!

After reading this post, I am looking forward to see this in June.



Anybody wanna watch this with me on my birthday?

沒意思! 沒意思!

Meaningless! Meaningless!

Everything is meaningless! Good times, bad times, happy times and sad times, all are meaningless!

Only in Christ that we can find meaningfulness in life.

有意思! 有意思!

Amos talking about his lesson during school

Amos could not stop talking about the things which happened during his lessons at playschool.

Well it happened in my dream last night.

I think this father is really looking forward to his son speaking.

Living a life of faith

First day back at work and I am thankful I am not bored about it.

It's been a good three weeks break, staying at home with Evelyn since Zoe's arrival.

I have been encouraged, especially the last few days, by the book we used for Growth Path "Rock Solid; 12 gospel truths to live by." on how I should live out my faith for the rest of my days of my life.

Been encouraged by the rest who are working day and night for the BGB ministry, giving their time and effort over the weekends for the recruit camps.

Pray for us to be able to live out our faith as a family. Really thinking deep on how to teach Amos and Zoe about God. I am most grateful for Evelyn that we can be of service for the Lord. Thanks Yuk Yee for his sermon on Saturday.

Hiccup kids

Caught Amos laughing at Zoe's hiccup and he ended up with the hiccup himself.

Loaded it on my FB. It's so funny!!!

Ending soon

My leave is coming to an end. Been with Evelyn since the day she gave birth.

Not say I not enjoying the break but would have hope not to take such a long leave. Maybe the next time I will take shorter leave?

Thank God for the great time spent at home with them. Also am thankful that I am not fearful of going back to work next week. I am actually looking forward to it.

Always pray

One thing I am reminded of during the GrowthPath on Friday was to pray.

This is something that I need to do consistently and so here goes:

Pray that I will continue to trust in the Lord and comment all things to Him in prayer;

Pray for both Evelyn and myself to be able to pray together on a regular basis;

Pray for Amos and Zoe to grow up healthy and strong and to come to know the Lord one day;

Pray for Evelyn to recover fully;

Pray for courage and chances to share Christ with my parents and siblings; and

Pray that I will recover from my flu (been sick for the past 3 days).

Where have your dreams gone to

I managed to take a drive down town on Monday night and I heard over the radio at 10.45pm playing 红蜻蜓 by 小虎队. The DJ was saying things along the line that how childhood dreams will change when we grow up.

Things do change and as I think back I can't help but laugh at many things that I thought of wanting to be (one of it was to be a singer). Though most of my dreams never come true it does not make my live any less interesting now.

Whatever it is, I am thankful that I no longer am longing about the dreams that I want but the hope that I have. Maybe not in my life time but surely He will come one day. And it's never too late for anyone to place your hope in Him rather than achieving your dreams.

Content with life

Whether one is successful or feel hopeless about their lives, the only thing that matter is having a right relationship with God through Jesus.

When one is too focus on what they have and the things they want in a worldly sense then it is a sign of not walking rightly wit God.

Only when we our relationship with God them is right then we will not be misled by the world.

Be contented with what the Lord has given you this day and not drift away by the things that you desire without Him in the picture.

My dear ones

After missing Amos for one night, finally he is in Evelyn's arms.



Thanks once again to everyone for your prayer and love. See you guys soon!!

Zoe's 1st visitors!!!

Other than my in laws, Eunice, Aunt G, JBD, my parents and my sister who came to see Zoe; Daniel, Cherry, Raj and Nikki also drop by.

As Evelyn had to stay a little longer to be observed in the delivery suite, she was not able to meet them in the ward as we hope to.

Thanks Daniel for helping me to pick up my mother, Amos and my helper when I can't.

Thanks Cherry for putting David aside, for a short while, to come and see Zoe.

Thanks Raj and Nikki for coming down after a long day.

So sorry that we can't chat with you as much as we want to but we will surely have the chance to meet up soon.

We also hope to see the rest of you soon!!!

Zoe has arrived!!!

Praise the Lord for giving us Zoe and thank God for keep both Evelyn and Zoe safe.


We really thank God for giving us Zoe for we almost lost her last July. I can't help but think what if God did not take the other one away, then we might have twins now, but we are grateful for the one He has given us.


Too bad Amos is missing in the picture, he has to go home and rest.


Thank you for keeping us in your prayer all these while. Continue to pray that we will be Godly parents to both Amos and Zoe. Pray that God will watch over them and that they will grow to know Him and serve Him all the days of their lives.

I should be home the next 2 weeks so catch us at our place anytime.

Amos and me doing Feb SOM

Taken by Fang in church office during the 1st SOM in Feb this year.

Powerless yet made strong

There are times that I felt powerless in helping others take the right path and watch them make mistakes and the wrong moves.

At times I am easily discouraged when I can't help others much and thoughts of being me being useless comes to mind. But I am reminded time and time again that I am made strong by Him. It is never through my own strength but His.

Even when things (and myself) seems hopeless, we are called to continue to spread His good news for others to turn to Him.

So I pray that God will use all of us to be His witness to others to take the right path, and it is never too late to change. When the big day comes we all can be in His presence.

Pray that we will not be deceive by the hopeless situations around that we may be tempted to take the wrong route.

May our Lord bless us and keep us, and that we will be counted worthy to be at His service all the days of our lives.

Family visit

It is always good to have people coming to visit! Especially your family.

My fellow brother and sister, Yew Minh and Jo-Lyn, came over with presents for Amos and our little girl and also to fellowship with us.

"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching" Hebrews 10:25

We thank God for giving us a family like this that we can have support and encouragment from one another.

Rehearsal for the little girl

To parents, who are expecting their new born's arrival, one of the toughest challenge is to handle the sleepless nights.

Altho Amos have recovered from his fever but still is troubled by the runny nose and cough. He was practically up the whole of last night, which means both Evelyn and myself didn't catch much sleep either.

Pray that Amos will fully recover when his little sister arrive.

Photo from the past: Christmas Eve Musical 2009

Taken last year on 24th Dec:


Watching the musical....


Why is he wondering around?


Oh, playing hide & seek with daddy.


A tired boy....

2 years old boy

So fast, another year has past. But he still can't talk yet. Maybe he's like me, his first words will be Mei Mei?

Think the best gift for him now is to recover from fever, flu and sore throat.

Happy birthday Amos!

Away from Him

I have a sense of being away from Him during this CNY period. Think mainly is because that I am not reading His word regularly.

The problem about holiday is that apart from taking a break from our day to day job we also take a break from God. And that when my thinking, speech and action seems to be more self-centred.

Pray that as He gives us the time to rest that I will continue to draw near to Him.

Best way to guard ourselves? Reading God's word daily and pray to Him all the time.

I dream of a wedding

Last night I had a dream that my friends got married. Not sure if it's a sign that the time is near.

Well, just wait and see.

Last day at work

Dun worry, I am not losing my job but will most likely be going leave for a week but can only confirm tomorrow.

Pray that everything will be fine.

Amos over me

Taken on the 1st day of CNY:

I still prefer him with longer hair.

Different faces of Lele

Taken by Daniel and myself while having lunch at my place yesterday:

Who is this Uncle?


Still thinking....


I like to watch "Cars".

It's amazing to see how little babies grow up. Pray that both Amos and David will grow up to know God and serve Him all the days of their lives.

Btw, Amos was sleeping till we are about to leave that's why he is not in the pictures.
