We finally got our very first car today - 28th June 2009!

It's a little blackie. And the whole day today was spend fussing over it. From the time we "collect" him at 3pm, right up to 10pm!

Shall post up pictures soon!

In the meanwhile, I am looking for red tissue-bix holder. If anyone saw anything nice, please let me know! :D

If one hasn’t notice, I’m a fan of the “Focus on the Family” column in TODAY paper, which I get to read from the office. Today’s article is called “Look in the mirror” and it had strung an emo-cord in me… -sniff-

Do you want to see what kind of men & women your children will grow up to be? Take a look into the mirror.

A wise man once said, “The foot-steps a child follows are often those that the father thought he covered up.” How true that is. There are facts we can pass on to our children and skills we can teach; but how our children really learn is by watching us and observing our every move.; by absorbing what we do and who we are.

Someone once said, “Values are not taught to kids; they’re caught by them.” They’re picked up routinely through the subtle influences of simply being together through the day.

A poem by Herbert Parker sums it up best. He said, “To get his goodnight kiss he stood beside my chair one night, raise an eager face to me, a face with love alight. And as I gathered in my arms the son God gave to me, I thanked the lad for being good and hoped he’s always will be.

“His little arms crept round my neck and then I heard him say, four simple words I can’t forget; four words that make me pray. They turned a mirror on my soul, on secrets no one knew. They startled me, I hear them yet. He said, ‘I’ll be like you.’”

Have you ever done something then caught yourself, thinking this is the exact same thing that you have seen your mum or dad did before? I have had that so many times that sometimes, I think I’m just replaying out the early part of my mum’s life…

I'm breathless, and coughing like mad ...
And the medication is making me sooo groggy.

Bad things aside, I managed to sold off my giant Lenovo lappie for $180!
Cash Convertor Rocks!!

Got to do another 2 test, one is called the echo-something... where they use the ultra-sound to hear the heart beat and to check on the condition of the valve. Doc said there are normally 2 scenerio for MVP:

1) the patient grows older, and the muscle in the heart strengthen. Closing the valve without the need of surgery
2) the patient grows older the muscle detoriate, leaving a even bigger gap. In this case, surgery is needed to implement an artificial valve.

(X_X)

2nd test is the treadmill test. I need to buy sport shoe, mine had an open-mouth and I threw it away le.

The two test is conducted over 2 days. Damage - $160. Sigh... 6/14/2009 11:30:00 PM

I'm finally going to see the heart specialist....


After 11 years.

And I'm going for a variety of reasons:
-because of the frequent chest pain I'm experiencing
-because of the racing heart in the middle of the day
-because I want to see how far back I can push to have a kid... safely.
-because I don't want to make Grumpy a rich man (heh!)

Will be updating soon...

I hate being the second class citizen.

If communication is only one-way, then I rather there be no communication at all.

Marriages that thrive are those where both husband & wife develop a servant mentality, looking for ways to meet each other’s needs.

It doesn’t take a big expansive gift to thrill your mate.

Just noticing what she needs & being willing to step in and help goes a long way towards making her life easier.

Don’t wait for her to ask before helping around the house. Take time to make the bed, or put in a load of clothes.

If you see she’s had a stressful day, take the kids to the playground and give her the evening off. She might just want to go shopping, visit some friends or just stay at home.

It’s little things like these that keep a strong marriage growing even stronger.

For not giving in to the pressure while he is alive.
For seeing the situation in another perspective.

He could have taken the easier way out and left the “family business” that he inherited. But he had stayed on, the giving American women the right to say their goodbyes to their deformed/disabled child with dignity. His work saved them from the trauma that would otherwise fall upon them, having no way out but to go through the full-term pregnancy.

It’s hard work enough carrying on the work of God, going through childbirth for the continuity of human kind.

God bless your soul, Doc.
You can be sure that for every one person that condemns your doing, there are at least 5 who can see where the action stems from - Mercy. And the fact that you have left the World while being so near to God just means that you will reach heaven sooner.

Is such a disappointment.

The story line doesn’t make sense – why is the father so much younger than the John Conner? My colleague said you have to watch the John Conner serial in order to understand.

My point is - if the viewer has to do that, obviously it has failed being a movie. It’s more like a sequel to the serial.
