Jed's confidence

It's been sometime since Doris & I have been "actively" trying to increase Jed's confidence... but we noticed that his self esteem also needed some boosting...

After a couple of months later... it seems to have improved...

He's starting to
1. Start conversations with others
2. Reply when greeted
3. Respond when spoken to

Well... let's hope things improve further.

:)

Updates updates updates

Well... it's been a really long time since the last posting...

Reason?? Well, a lot had happened since... some good... so not so good... and some pretty nasty things too....

Well... one of the thing that has happened to the family that is great is that we've finally got our family car. OPC aka Off Peak Car.

The best thing was soon after we have secured our COE aka Certificate of Entitlement... the Govt announced that they were going to allow OPCs to drive the whole day on Sats (Which is a big big plus for us)
More details here
http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=2181

Also, OPC owners do not need to buy those S$ 20 coupons from post offices... (Yes, it could only be bought from post offices... I really dunno how those OPC owners survived in the past....)
It can be bought on-line or via sms.

Also, previously, OPC can only be driven after 3pm on the eves of the 5 major holidays... now... it's the whole day!

What a blessing!!

Here's some attempts to take some pict of it...

Celebrated Doris's Bday.



Also... it's been a while since Doris and I used our place in Punggol for any event... so...

we celebrated Jadyn's bday with some close friends...



We also opened our place to some Church visitors.

The sad new is...
A couple of weeks ago... my only living grand parent, grandma... who is 90+ had a fall and injured her hip...

There were also many complications that came with that fall too...

But one thing that I saw when I went there to visit....

Most if not all of the patient had someone accompanying them...

It was a total opposite of the hospitals in Singapore!
Most of the patients in Singapore were... alone...

But am praying that my Granny will receive God soon...

Hope my cousin who is with Hope Msia have more opportunities to share Christ with her...

Do pray with me for my granny's salvation.

Men's Rules

The Men's Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

Finally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear " the rules "
From the female side.

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE! Pay careful attention to the ones in red

1. Men are NOT mind readers.
( FIRST & FOREMOST RULE )

2. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

3 . Sunday sports, It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

4 . Crying is blackmail.

5 . Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just tell us what you want!

6. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question..

7 . Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


8 . Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.


9 . If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

10 . If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

11. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

12 . Whenever possible, Pls say whatever you have to say during commercials.. we don't disturb you while you are watching your soaps and serials.

13 . Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

14 . ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

15 . If it itches, it will be scratched. We all do that.

16 . If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will ! act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. !

17 . If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

18 . When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .

19 . Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Racing or Football.

20. You have enough clothes.

21. You have too many shoes.

22. I am in shape. ! Round IS a shape!

23 . Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that ? It's like camping.

What goes around... comes around.....

Is this true??

During my Army days... I was a Machine Gunner and had a "Blur King" as a MG assistant...

In a nutshell... I was a non believer and I gave him Hell on earth during the 1.5 years together.

Main thing that I took issue with him was his "believe"...

He would find reason not to help me buy cigarettes when he was the person sent in the section to buy supper etc... Telling me it was his belief and such...

Anyway...

It's tough being a Xtain eating Humble Pie........

Prophecy... for me......

During today's prayer meet... I received a word...

That I could be a Commander... a commander wearing the Amour of God...

But I have not been donning that Armour for a long time.... and it's been there collecting dust...
As time goes by... the dust is getting thicker and thicker... making me more and more reluctant to put it back on...

Before I got this word... I was asking God for a confirmation about me serving again...
But time and time again... I've been giving myself excuses...
Not yet... not now... they dun need me yet...

But not long after I had this thought... David asked me to pray for us to be more outward looking, to allow God to use us... our blessing material / skills to bless others... To have God's heart for other people who were not saved...

After I prayed... Christine gave me that word...

Do I still have any more excuses??

Can I still run??

Should I still run??

Cos if I do.... I'd be running away... not from myself but from God.... can I do that?? Should I do that?? Johnah sure didn't succeed....

Am I allowing the circumstances stop me?
Is the problem bigger than God?
Don't I trust God?
or is it...
Can't I trust myself??
or is that what the devil wants me to think....

Am I like the dead sea where there is only inflow and no out flow?

Stagnant?

Lifeless?

God, I know you want me to do something... but can you tell me....... What is it?

Sound?

Pastoral?

Be David's MM?

WHAT IS IT?? Tell me and I'll do it

To serve Him

After the good new... I have the sudden "urge" to go back into my ministry again...
So serve a great God who loves me and to show Him my appreciation...

But then...
Why am I only doing this when He is "good" to me?

Isn't or hasn't He been good to me all along?

Why am I only doing this when the time is good?

When I am blessed?

Is there a condition to my love to / for him?

Am I or was I "blackmailing" Him or putting a condition to my love for Him?

or to serve Him?

In the first place.........

Does He need me??

or is He doing this because He simply........


Loves me??

Family Car

Doris and I have been planning to buy a car for the longest time...
*Even though my Sis in Law have been blessing us by letting us use her car over the weekends...

Anyway... I simply cannot help but wanna share the goodness of God in our lives...

Here's the summary of it.

Last month the COE was around the 12.8k+ and yesterday, it went up to 14.2k...
I though.. there goes my chance of getting the car...

Anyway...

The dealer did not increase the price, they lowered it!
Not only did God changed that...
I can now afford a better model... (The model that I wanted)... by paying slightly more!
Was initially 5k more!
With the increase... was supposed to be 6-7k more!

Sorry... cannot contain my happiness...
:)

Father & Son time??

June is Jed's school holidays... I guess he's getting bored too...

He's been asking me to bring him out to "Shopping"...

Quality time??

Santa Clause??

Even though I've been home the last entire week... due to the swelling on my face... I did not really dare to go out...

Anyway, better not second guess... think I'd better spend more time with him.
