Creation

even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Craving

Can't remember I had any serious craving apart from eating 30++ kiwi in a week. Since last week these stuff have been occupying my mind and tummy :) Last minute craving?

Sports Day

Athletics from Year 1-3 waiting patiently for their turn.






Adam dashing off with his super speed :)

Washing Day

I am glad to have most of these from friends and just can't wait to put it on her. Notice anything similar??

35 weeks and counting

My belly is definitely big now and it was funny when Shirley (Ee Lyn's sis) still asked whether I am pregnant last Sunday :) Will take that as a compliment heheheh...

I had another funny compliment from Dr. during our visit on Monday. "Wow..Beautiful, no stretch mark" he commented in front of dear. And baby already weights about 2.5Kg

Like other Mama, I don't escape from waking up uncountable times at night which irritate dear and myself. Sunny days has been extreme hot and even rainy nights is hot to me, can't sleep without air cond this few weeks. Starting to feel baby pressing down this week and that makes walking uncomfortable. I thought baby will have less space to move around as she grows bigger. Looks like I'm wrong, at times, I just need to stop and give way for her double.. triple.. somersault and extra hard kicks.

Dear and I are more relaxed at this pregnancy. Have not even packed my bag for the Hospital 'Vacation'. I have a bit of fear this round, somehow can still recall the painful moments when delivering Eden. Gosh... I do pray it will be faster and easier this round.

The other fear is the confinement period. Imagining a Survival camp... no shower... no washing hair... no fan... no cold drinks... no veg and fruits ... very long list if I continue. So I have Plan B, come home after 2 weeks since dear is likely going to work from home during that period.

2 weeks to full term. Yippee !!!

Mama Dentist

3 weeks ago that we noticed a lump right behind Adam's front teeth. And soon after, we discovered a giant teeth immerging. Grandma was somehow concern over that big teeth as milk teeth is still intact and she has a theory that if the milk teeth is not pluck out immediately, the poor boy will have a extra teeth. (Which happens to dear's sis) But when Mama send Adam to dentist, the dr. just asked us to wait and to let nature takes place.

So day after day and week after week Mama Dentist have to checked whether the teeth is ready to come out. And.... the day finally came, where I lay my hand on his teeth and pull with all my might (just kidding) It wasn't that hard as I imagined, was fast and easy (Thank God ) and I just don't expect to see the boy laughing his heart out seeing his own teeth on his palm.

I think he is like daddy, one who laugh when in pain. How weird !!

PS - Too shy to allow Mama to post his picture here :)

Mangga Messiah !!

Thanks Godpa and Godma for this wonderful book that would 'spice up' his reading pleasure.

Easter

"Woooow !! Daddy bring back a Dinasour's egg" Eden said excitedly.
(Godma & Pa had sent him some speckled bird eggs wrapped with love too)
Eversince, he has been opening the fridge now and then to make sure that 'precious' is in place. And of course he did not missed asking THE important question " Mom, can eat already or not?"

After devouring 'precious' today, the dinos moved on to Mama's cupboard for the remaining speckled eggs.

Nowadays we have to look beyond this commercial egg to appreciate the meaning of Easter. We thanked God for the precious gift of life that he has given us and in him we are a new creation.

And it is our prayer that the boys will understand Easter more and more as they grow in His love....

Anti- wrinkle

Woke up this morning actually wondering whether I do looked older. Sigh .... as I spotted some extended eye lashes and how I wish I was standing in front of cracked mirror.

It must be the comment by a insensitive women that we met in a women's initiated forum on how to strengthen family bond few days ago. Dear happened to meet an ex- student there and this lady commented that dear looks 'too young' to be a Sir. Well, this is not a unusual statement that I OFTEN hear. I used to take it lightly and would even joke with dear on these comments. But this round she added by asking whether I am afraid as dear is always surrounded by young and pretty girls. Frankly, I was very.. veeeery... tempted to unveil her 'insensitivity' by asking whether her statement would also implied that I am 'too old and ugly' and should be afraid.

I wonder whether the aging, big belly me that is extraaaa sensitive... or she was just totally unkind with her words.

Oh God ... please send these people away and send your magic anti-wrinkle cream for my heart. And I think, I need a few bottles :)

34

Celebrated my birthday yesterday with dear and the boys at one of our favourite place. The boys were so excited and Eden was so eager to sing his familiar song. So we let him do a solo Birthday song when this heavenly Chocolate Molten birthday cake sat on the table .Gee.... I suddenly hear angel's voice and he was so.. so.. sweet. ( It was such a moment to be captured but arrh... and we forgot to bring the camera! )

Thank you boys and dear for such precious moments.

Loving...

Boys .... they quarrel , they fight, they cry and they can be so loving too :)
I love this pics. Makes me smile :)

School Holidays

Definitely fun time for the boys !!!

Paella ???

I had this sudden urge to attempt this Spanish dish last Saturday. Maybe baby wanted Spanish dinner hahahha :) Run through the ingredient list and stopped at this thing called Saffron. Aiya !!! This is one of the key ingredient besides rice and olive oil and I don't have it :(

So this my Paella without Saffron Version (left pic). Not much different right ?? But I wonder how it would taste differently.

The Ears are back

Mickey's ear is finally back. I finally move all the cactus to a smaller pot. So far,no cat has lay any more pile of S*** on it. Well, unless they can S*** with such precision without touching the 'thorny' neighbour !!

Chinese New Year Special Treats

Adam's jaw nearly dropped seeing a 40 flavors box of jelly beans delivered by a 'special postman' weeks before Chinese New Year. But somehow 'cruel' mama have decided that it should be a CNY special treats and therefore no one should lay hands on it till New Year(that will include ALL male species at home)

At the same time, mama wondered why little Eden have not much response seeing the colouful box. Unusual for such goodies as he loves any sweet stuff.
Ah haa.... finally he's not cool and calm anymore when he finally saw it unwrapped and tasted it.

Papa and Mama is still busy trying the different flavor each day :)

Little Einsteins

This has become number one in Eden's cartoon chart for the past few weeks. Basically its designed to teach art and music appreciation by integrating famous art works and classical music in each episode. Mama has been enjoying it together so far.... Vivaldi's spring is still in the air.

Eden has somehow tie in each of us to the characters. Let me introduce.. from the left its Adam, Baby, Mama (so happen her name is Annie) and Eden. Ha... what about daddy ??? He is the red jet behind that carry us around in the mission.

Chinese New Year

I got myself a bright red for New Year this round. Pretty unusual as I normally will not choose red for clothes. New Year day's activity have not changed. We had the usual reunion dinner at parent's place but the unusual thing is that I am one of chef this year. And as usual we still get 'Ang Pau' from WK's dad which is unusual for those married. (That makes me feel young :)

We had our usual family photo on the first day of CNY but the unusual thing is there's 5 of us this round. Little baby has been kicking so vigorously since Eve that I start wondering if there's such thing as too much movement.

Here's a picture for Sigrun who wanted to see how pregnant I am. Seriously, I don't think I look pregnant in those pictures. Agree ?? But physically and emotionally I just can't deny that eh :)

Happy Chinese New Year to all !! Hope you had a unusual usual Chinese New Year too.

The Lord is our Rock, our Fotress and Our Deliverer

The suspected culprit.

I just could not understand why dear's computer thingy will choose to die down when he is not around. Who else, but poor me that he will suspect as the culprit behind the scene.

This round the monitor 'died', no light, no picture, no reaction to anything. It was still functioning well the last time i used it. So as usual I pleaded innocent in the matter.

IT MUST BE THE NEIGHBOUR"S CAT !!! I was not around the whole week. Yes... its the CAT.
