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.
