My soon-to-be 14 son! Very interested in aeroplanes. He can even update daddy about the different planes used by different countries and all sorts of technical terms associated with planes that I had never heard of!?! Nice to see him develop a passion for something. Hopefully this will help him focus on what he needs to work on in his studies so that he can pursue his passion and dream!

My challenge of 2009: To help Joycelyn discover the motivation to study for her PSLE!
God had been so good to her this year. She is enjoying some positive attention for doing better in some subjects and that encouraged her to seek improvement. I am praying that she will have intrinsic motivation towards her studies and I'll need wisdom and patience to work with her.
Besides being interested in sports like short distance track, football, skates,and badminton, she also likes the drums and latest : guitar! I've registered her for some lessons and she is so looking forward to it. She has a very compassionate heart and is very good at breaking up fights in school. I feel that she is really special!

This is Daniel. He is 7 years old! That's right P1! He thinks school is too long and asked if he could come home after recess! Once before going to school he set a timer before stepping out of the house and warn me not to touch his timer because he wanted to see how long he had been gone.
I enjoy my time with him in the morning, practising piano, reading the bible and prepare for spelling (Chinese and English) read books, play games.... Glad to be able to spend time alone with him. Better enjoy them while they are still young! As they grow older, so busy, no time for mummy! :P

Haven't had time to blog!
Yesterday, 9 of us from SPCCC EXCO 78/79, 79/80 were hosted by Ching Boon Huat at a dinner function held in Sheraton. It was so exciting to meet up after 28 or so YEARS! Time flies!
Those old days were filled with exciting memories! As we revisit the past, I thank God that many are still faithfully walking with Christ and serving Him in various capacities. That warms my heart. There is still a desire to support one another even though we are not together now but with modern technology, we are excited about new avenues of 'getting together ' thru website or facebook. We are also looking forward to another meeting soon....

Went with mum to the hospital to see the specialist on Tuesday. The 2 bubbles are still there in the kidney. There are some white lines on it so the doctor cannot discharge the case. Another CT scan in 6 months to observe. The doctor also picked up some growth attached to the pancreas thru the last scan. My sister and I decided not to alarm her but wait for the next scan to double check if there's anything significant.
Mum is very affected by all the news regarding her health. Pray for wisdom in my conversations with her that she may be encouraged to look to the Lord. I am still praying and trusting God to do a miracle in mum and thru it God will be lifted up and draw pa to Him.

Joycelyn is such a wonderful big sister!
Daniel had received a letter from his P1 school on Saturday. The 3 of us were in bed chatting. Joycelyn brought up several issues that Daniel needs to watch out for in P1.
She wanted him to change his glasses because it's too nerdy and she thinks his classmates might laugh at him. Reminded him not to pick his nose! Taught him how to shake hands with the Principal when he receives an award or something...Told him not to buy soup noodle just in case he spills, just stick to rice! It didn't cross my mind to prepare Daniel for P1 but Joycelyn got it covered! Way to go, big sister!

My daughters are busy with their 'O' and 'A' examinations preparation. I know they are quite stressed up but I am confident in the Lord that he will see them through. They had been very hardworking and I can trust them to pace themselves. Do remember them in prayers.
The rest still need a break through in taking their studies more seriously. I really need more patience in my interactions with them.
Daniel never fails to amuse me. I challenged him to see who can bathe faster.(Just for fun!) He was afraid to lose. We put our arms together and I showed him that mine is more than double his size; so I may not win. He look at me and said, " But your hand is bigger than mine!" He is one smart boy. Anyway, I lost. But it does not matter. It is nice to see that victorious look on his face...
