Mommy-yeoh

Sara was down with flu since last Thursday. Got the bug from her Grandpa. But even then she was still the happy little girl, playing on her own without much fuss. Occassionally she cried while we tried to clear her nose. Except of course when she sees Mommy home from work, the 'magnet-mania' turned automatically on and zzzz-thud! She clings to my leg like a little monkey with her hands and legs wrapped around me and whining for me to carry her. Actually she has been doing this for the past one week of so ( before she even got the flu ), making it difficult for Mommy to even put her down for awhile to go to the bathroom. The moment I placed her on the floor explaning I needed to relieve myself, she will sit on the floor and cried loudly till I pick her back up. And this only happens when she is with me. I was hoping it is a phase that she is going through for now and will soon end. We took her for tim-sum on the weekend. Food is usually her favourite thing, but somehow she doe...

Sara is quite a foodie. Just like her Mommy :) She loves food. She enjoys every moment of it. She loves even a plain bread and rice. Mommy is hoping that she will just stay the same. As in not givng Mommy a problem and become a picky eater. But only one thing that she doesnt like...egg. Not soft boil, or hard boil or scramble or egg tart. She will spit anything with eggs on it. Except when you fry it with rice. I have allowed Sara to feed herself. But it was a terrible mess. I got then got smarter and put newspaper underneath her high chair. But I forgot that the rice sticks to the table and I had a hard time cleaning that too. At the end of a meal, I will have a dirty high chair, a dirty table and a dirty baby. Instead of Daddy 'automatically' washes the dishes, now I have to ask Daddy if he wants to wash the dishes or wash the Baby. But if she enjoys it, I guess a little more time spent on cleaning for Mommy is okay .

“ Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belong to such as these ” ( Matt 19:14 ) I have always love children (communicating with them is another thing) I taught the Sunday School once before, way back when I was still in college until I realized that I am accountable to God as a teacher to the kids. As a teenager going into a transition to adulthood, it was something I could not handle and left the duty to someone whom I thought would do a better job. Today I have a child of my own. I can’t push the responsibility away or passed it down to someone else. She is my responsibility and I have asked for it (I prayed for a baby girl). I have enjoyed this little gift of life (Sara) that God gave until I realized I have a bigger responsibility than the one I once turned my back on. Food I provide, shelter I give, love I poured freely but God’s commandment I have not kept. I prayed that I will be a parent God wants me to be. And this He has shown me. “...

In one’s life journey, we often faced with uncertainties, not knowing what lies ahead of us. But when we looked back, we realized we have left a trail behind us leading to the places that we have visited once before. It may be painful memories or happy moments. But every now and then we will find little miracles throughout the journey. And then it will lead us to think “how on earth did I manage to pull through”. Someone once said, the scariest part is asking for miracles when we are not ready for it and could missed out witnessing it. Perhaps his words are true. As we walk along the narrow path, it’s difficult sometimes to see the fire of beauty that has shaped us to be what we are today. His ways are too fathom for us to understand. My best friend told me that nothing is bad if it pushes you towards God. Hence says the Lord, “ Trust in Me with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Me and I will make your path straight ”. (Proverbs 3:5)...
