Father mode comes on automatically?

Wilson was telling me that his father mode comes automatically when he saw his son.

In a way it is true but I think the main thing for a man, and maybe also a woman, is to put the interest of the child first before theirs.

Anyone can be a father and mother, and I believe by and large most people will have their parents mode turned on automatically when they see their child, but the real challenge is whether we can love them sacrificially.

Parents should never love them too much that their children become idols of their lives and neither should they love them any less that they treat them as their property, take and throw as they like.

Praise the Lord for through Him we can come to know our heavenly Father and learn how to be loving parents to our children. Praise the Lord.

Amos and the new fridge

Finally we got our new bigger fridge yesterday. But it is not just a fridge for Amos:


What is this?


Can you spot me?



Amos shouting: Ahhhhh!!!!


The one and only time he will even sit in the fridge.

Now looking forward for my little girl's arrival....

Photo from the past: Amos & me at the Heng's Wedding

Was looking thru my hard-disk and found this pic:

Amos, at 1year and 3 months old, & me after Paul and Xiuling's wedding ceremony.
How my boy has grown man.

Time Travelling

Well, it's not humanly possible but everytime when I listen to my playlist I have the young again feeling.

Surely the feeling I have now is different from when I heard the songs in my teens.

Time flies, what seems so far away then is now at the door step.

There are many what if as I am typing this. What if I have asked, what if I have taken that step, things will surely be different now.

Of course at times I can't help but think I should have done somethings differently then. but then again without those experiences, I will not be who I am today.

Thank God for everything, though if I have the chance to go back in time I would have want to know the Lord earlier, maybe during my teenage days. But I am thankful that from now on I can live a good live for Him.

Thank you Jesus.

Old School Games

Here are the games that I planned for my Branch during the Retreat yesterday.



Simple and fun. Can play anytime, anywhere.

Who hold your hand

Went to a friend's grandfather funeral last night and was very encouraged and touched. It wa clear that his grandfather had live a good life in the Lord, from the testimonies of the family members, trusting in Him in guiding his every step and influencing his family.

How often I have choose to do things my own way when I should have been asking the Lord to take my hand, to accompany and guide me.

The follow Hokkien song was his grandfather's favourite. It speaks of how his trust and dependent in the Lord and longing for the day to be called home.

May we look forward to the same hope all the days of our lives. Live the good life.

【牽我的手】[閩南語]

牽我的手,我的主啊,請祢麥離開我,這條路我擱要行,我需要祢來作伴。
牽我的手,我的主啊,請祢麥離開我,有時我會驚,有時不知按怎行,有時敢若聽不著祢的聲。

牽我的手,我的主啊,請祢麥離開我,這條路我擱要行,我需要祢來作伴。
牽我的手,我的主啊,請祢麥離開我,有時我會驚,有時不知按怎行,有時敢若聽不著祢的聲。

牽我的手,請祢與我作伴,互我的腳步又穩又定,走到祢的門前,聽到祢的聲,與我說:「入來我的囝!」

Amos feed bread

Before I left for work in the morning Amos was sitting in his feeding chair eating his bread. So I went up to him and ask him to feed daddy.

He picked up one piece and when it reaches my mouth he quickly pulled it back and feed himself, smiling at me at the same time.

Now I know he can respond to me. Cheeky fellow.

Sin Yee's Wedding

Today is Wilson's Ex wedding. Ha ha something he is always proud of.

Met Hui Ming few days back and she mentioned that Jing Jun, whose the Emcee tonight, might invite Wilson and myself up for the Yum Seng.

This happened during Hui Ming's Wedding which I still remember.

We were not the "Siong Di" so by right we were not expecting this but that night "Zhu Zhu" suddenly mentioned my name and Wilson & Richard, who were sitting next to me, started laughing. As I was standing up the both of them suddenly stop laughing cause we sense that something is about to happen. Their names were called out too, hahah!!!!

I have yet to tell Wilson yet cause he is still in reservist, hopefully he can make it in time tonight. Maybe I will give the Yum Seng session tonight a miss....

Do not approve or bless sin

Happen to read this news on the issue of appointing gay bishops in US.

The last statement reminded me of how I should watch my ways:
"It's not just who are sinners - we're all sinners... but those who bless sin?...."

It never is a matter of who is holy or sinful, right or wrong. We are all sinners! But we are sinners save by God's grace thru Jesus Christ. If we go on to approve and bless others or ourselves sinful acts then what is Christ death for us?

By not agreeing the ways of the world that is against God's teaching doesn't mean we reject or hate the other person. All the more this will bring out God's love for them, how God disapprove and does not want them to carry on sinning.

Sometime truth can hurt big time but living a life of lie is even more serious.

Pray that we will be bold in declaring God's love to others. In Christ alone we trust.

Derrick needs movie Kaki

Really thank God for Jingming, Ashley and Derrick to them drop by pop by last night to give Evelyn a surprise. But what surprise us is that he haven't watched "UP!" the Pixar movie.

So we ended up watching the movie together. He also haven't watch WALL-E yet.

Anyway, he said he dun mind watching Toy Story 3 together. So whoever are present last night you must be there for Derrick if not he will miss it again.

Keep Fit Wednesday

Today is our 1st keep fit day of the year and we are changing from running to swimming due to TC's knee.

I also brought Evelyn and Amos along to the Bukit Batok Swimming Complex and my boy simply went crazy when he went into the baby pool, playing with the water pumping out all around the water playground.

Care to join us every Wednesday night?

Right in your name or His name?

Think you are living rightly?

Think that your priorities are in line with His will?

Or you never even think about it?

We should never assume or take for granted that we will always live our lives that pleases Him for we can be inspired by Christ today and easily fall away tomorrow.

Pray that our Lord will guard our hearts and we will never take God's word lightly.

Be humble when fellow siblings point out our mistakes or share their concerns for us.

Be on our guard to not do what is right for our name but always do what is right in Jesus name.

May all of us plan our days not for our own sake but for God's sake.

1st Wedding in ARPC

Thank God for Rag and Nikki's wedding this morning. Praise the Lord for everything.

I can still remember when 4 years back Nikki brought Rag to our DG to learn about Jesus and now they are together with Christ at the center of their marriage.

Thank you God for watching over them all these years. Pray that the Lord will bless them as they journey together as husband and wife from today onwards.

And one interesting thing I realise is that this is the 1st time I am attending a wedding in ARPC since we moved back in 2008.

Who will you lose in the next 10 years....

Chris ended today's AM with this reminder. Sharing that this decade could be the year where he would lose his mother, because she is 90 plus, and also 2 of his sisters in their 70's. He encourage us to live our lives to minister to the one around us before it's too late.

Pray that with the time that I have with the people around me that I can witness Christ to them. Pray that you will also have the burden for others to be saved, especially your loved ones.

Start of a new phase.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"

Taken from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Thank God for the timely reminder as this year we are going to start with this book. At times I am not joyful enough, not prayerful enough and surely not thankful enough. If it is the will of God for us who profess to follow Jesus, why not we be humble, trust and submit all things to Him.

Pray that as I start the new year and start a new phase of life I will face everyday with gratefulness for the things He has done.

Praise the Lord for the everyday He has given us for life is worth living because my saviour lives.
