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.
