Mommy is superb

I know everyone will say their mom is the best but let me tell you mine is superb :)

How superb? Well, let me tell you how superb my mommy is ...

1) She is the most forgiving person i ever met in my life ... trust me in this.
2) Her love is truly unconditional not only to her own children but even to her DIL and friends of her children
3) She is very generous and gave even when she had little
4) Her EQ is so high that you hardly see her losing her temper ... how i wish i have 10% of this character
5) She goes extra miles for her grandchildren ... ever seen a MIL that takes care of the grandchildren to the extend of relocating from her home country to another? And never a word of complaint !
6) She bought vitamins for her children with little $$ she has and spend little for her ownself?
7) She scooped rice, washed everything and oh yeah .. even made milo for her children when they are all so grown up?

The list can go on and on and on and will never end ... that's how superb my mommy is.

This trip back to Singapore to see her made me even admire my mommy. Yesterday was the 1st time i cooked for her after i left the country 1 year ago .. and mommy was very happy. Not that i cooked a lot of things, but just a simple soup and it made her day. My mommy is never a demanding person and when i looked at her, i cannot thank God enough for her.

My mommy is not a modern mom that dress up, do facial every fortnights or carrying a Gucci handbag walking around. She's a very plain woman but her heart is colorful like a rainbow.

My mommy is a demonstration & a living testimony of how great God is. As i continue to grow maturately, mommy is getting old. God, i can only ask for You to give my mommy a long, healthy & fulfilling life. She's simply the best !

Rise above the situation

We are all born to be a winner in any situation we are in be it thru heartache, tears or sweat. I'm particularly a better person in a tough situation .... i work best under tremendous stress :)

So today is the day ... i shall rise above the storm not by my strength but by the strength from the above.

Yeehhaaaa !!

My darling is 3yrs old

10th of Nov was the 3rd birthday of my precious darling Tristan ....

Time flies and it was like yesterday he just born. I held him the 1st time when he was 3 days old and soon he moved in to stay with us in Penang until this year when he is officially back in Singapore.

Waking up middle of the night to make him milk, changed his diaper, bathe him, took him for his injections, haircuts, evening walk, cooked his favorite meals ... all these are blessings. I devoted all my time to bring him up like my own son. Each time he took his injection, i'll be the first to be in tears and whenever he had fever, i'll be in tears as well.

Tristan, can you remember the 1st time you had fever? You waited for korkor to come back & cling on my shoulder not letting me go to tell you are very sick. You made korkor drove like crazy looking for clinic for you ....  u very notty and only wanted korkor to bring u to clinic yeah :)

Korkor loves you alot & miss you all the time. Sometimes korkor will be in tears when thinking of you ... whether you are well taken care of ... anyone hitting you ... do u get what you want ... are you bored .. and whether you miss korkor or not.

Korkor wants the best for you and rest assured that korkor will do everything to make sure you are comfortable. Korkor just want you to grow up to be a good man that loves the Lord. You must study hard & get a good job yeah.

And forgive korkor for not being able to celebrate your 3rd birthday with you ... love you yeah

1st Annivesary

Couple of days back to be exact on the 31st Oct, was my 1st year anniversary in VNAT. And i celebrated it by working my butt off till late at night, had a dinner and slept :)

Looking back at this 1 year and all the whats, hows, when .... i can honestly say it's been a tough journey so far & it's always God grace that carried me thru. There were times when i just wish to pack up and leave but in the end it never happened haha.

I still remember on the 1st day when i arrived at the airport, i had 2 luggage with me walking out not knowing what to expect. I truly felt very alone at that time as i never travelled alone all my life. And this is far worst, relocating alone. I actually did asked myself what on earth am getting myself into haha.

The 1st time i actually cried was when my nephew Tristan crying histerically when he saw me on Skype. He touched the laptop screen, moved behind the laptop and started to cry very loud. He could not understand how come he cannot touch me and was i hiding behind the laptop? And he was just barely 2 years old. It was my mistake for leaving him and caused him to have fever a week after my departure. I didn't know how to tell him that am leaving and it's a pain to me till today whenever i thought of it. I told my family never ever to let him speak to me thru Skype anymore lest i cause him more hurt. And i'm glad that my baby nephew has grown up really alot and nowadays he understands well that even though am far from him physically, but am always near to his heart.

Work has been forever challenging. Not a single day i can really "snake" coz the moment i stopped paying attention, something shitty will just happen. I can last this long partly because i know my reasons to be in VNAT and also at the same time i truly love my team. God has shown to me what love really means and what forgiving is all about. I learnt how to love someone who is totally unlovable and what it takes to forgive and move on. This lesson does not comeby easy and it takes a toll on me sometimes.

I'm actually very blessed to work with some great people and met many people that i know we are going to be friends for life. Church friends are really God sent and their love towards me is a confirmation for the above that He is watching over me. I have an excellent house & a wonderful driver. What else can i ask for?

1 year has gone and another brand new one has come. I really hope to stay for many more years to come. I cannot thank God enough for this great opportunity.
