So lovely..

I love flowers.. I wish I can hv a lovely bouquet every week! Hahaha can.. When I own my own florist meh can lor.. Kekeke.. 

Such a blessing..

I haven't been posting much lately have I.. Hahaha I cannot be so lazy!!! *slap hand. :p i keep having ideas about writing something but I have couldn't like just take my phone out and write it coz i got 2 toodlers who needs my attention, even when I was cooking dinner or even when I was in the car doing nothing I have to entertain and talk to them coz they just need me to.. I need more time!!! Oh dear... 

Yesterday, Sunday, we had a fantastic service.. I was touched by pastor Ari's message and God's message that I am now praying for specific purpose.. For myself this round coz I have been praying for others for so long I forget if I don't take care of myself, I am no good to anyone (not that I stop praying for others entirely, I think tts not cool. But I do need to focus on my relationship with Christ right now.) I need to get back on track to the basic and the fundamentals.. I really really need to and must.. 

Remember.....

老農民３句話 培養優秀的孩子！

老農民３句話 培養優秀的孩子！ 

很多沒有上過學的老農民培養出了優秀的孩子；
不少有知識、高學歷的城裡人卻把孩子管出諸多毛病，
甚至培養出問題孩子，
為什麼？

老農民沒知識但有智慧；
城裡人有知識但沒智慧。（知識不等於智慧。）

智慧的老農民三句話就培養出了好孩子：

第一句話：「孩子，爸媽沒本事，你要靠自己了。」
不包辦，把責任還給孩子，讓孩子擁有了責任心。

第二句話：「孩子，做事先做人，一定不能做傷害別人的事情。」
講德行，告訴孩子做人的標準。

第三句話：「孩子，撒開手闖吧，實在不行，回家來還有口飯吃。」
無私的愛，無盡的愛！

看看一些城裡人怎麼把孩子教育出問題的：

第一句話：「寶貝，你 好好學習就行了，其他的事情爸爸媽媽來辦！」
剝奪了孩子負責任的權利，培養出了沒有責任心的孩子。

第二句話：「寶貝，出去不能吃虧，別人打你一定要還手！」
基本的做人準則都沒有教對，可能培養出「缺德」的孩子。

第三句話：「我告訴你，你要是再不好好學習，長大沒飯吃別來找我！」
有條件的愛，根本不是真愛。

Kids... Gotta love them and discipline them...

Do you know wht it feels like to give birth to a baby? I feel, finally I have the right to own this child.. Why? Coz throughout my pregnancy, I really do feel out of control, I mean I can do all sort of right things to make sure my baby is safe, healthy n protected but in actual fact, I hv no control at all! Wht happens in my womb I believe it's up to God to keep n protect.. As my baby grows in me, will I ever know how he would really turned out to be? Even the best and most modern tools and experiments cannot tell us for sure how my baby will turned out to be.. It can only, more or less, indicate your baby is normal, healthy or in danger... Really out of anyone's control.. 

So when I gave birth ah, Wah!!!!! The pain was so scruciating I almost fainted! I very much hate being in pain!! Hate hate hate!!! Thus, after all the trouble, pain n agony giving birth to this precious baby, FINALLY I feel the sense of ownership and responsibility that I never had before. I am committed bringing up my babies (yes, I have more than 1 baby) to the best that I could. 

And I know every mommies n daddies out there right now are doing their very best even though they feel they lack much wisdom bringing up their own children.. But rest assured that you are not alone and that you will do what is right for your children despite the inability that we posses.. Coz we love them, more than we know it, we love our children.. And no matter how others judge you and comment about your inadequacy ( yes ok, they meant well but to us it really doesn't seem like you really trying to help.) Hang in there!!! I know we go crazy sometimes with screaming children running around the house, the crying, the constant nagging of questions, wanting this and that and this and that!!! Drives us nuts! 

It is the bad times and the worst times that really make us appreciate the once a while, and ever so precious, good times.. When our children are asleep and we see our adorable little busy bees lay themselves to sleep in the still quiet night.. When they splash and laught while taking a bath, run and play in the fields, holding your hand while crossing the quiet streets, showing you the first snail they see on the flowers, holding you tight when the thunders roar... Just to name some of the very sweet moments we could share with our children.. It's really worth it.. 

Anyway, I am trying to make a point to not pass judgement on children who hv bad behaviour, coz I know they parents is doing their best.. I think we are allowed to hv our own opinions but we don't have the right to judge.. Let's support each other by not comparing our children, by respecting each others way of loving a child, by not passing judgement, by showing care, speak in kindness and act in grace. 

I am going to make a point today. To stop judging but start sharing encouragement n kindness. Nevertheless, if I see children is being disrespectful, having no manners and is out of control, I will step in. And I hope you, my friends, will not think that I am judging you or think you are not a good parent.. I know we are all good parents, giving our best.. And by me reprimanding them is my one way to support u, to lighten your burden to discipline them, so you don't need to always be the 'bad guy', and that wht you Asked them to do is wht other adults expects of them as well and not just because you said so.. Don't get up set when someone discipline your child for you out of love.. Of course if that person don't have a good relationship with you it's easy to see that they are not doing it out of love lar so I only reprimand the children of close friends.. 

Yummy moon cake

Moon cake festival is near!!! Yay!!! I love to eat moon cakes.. Not a lot of it but just a few bite would be nice... 

Went to leisure mall the other day and they hv some lantern decor.. Nice n creative.. Some very funny.. Got minions lanterns also lol silly.. 

Then I got 2 moon cake for my family n I.. 1 with white lotus single egg yoke and another normal lotus with double egg yoke.. I haven't tried it yet!!! I hope the yoke is nice n juicy.. I dun like the dry one.. Not nice when it's too dry.. 

I always buy Tai Thong Moon cakes I dunno why.. I think because they sell the more traditional type of moon cakes? I dun like the newer version where they have dragon fruit, durian, chocolate, coffee flavours etc.. I find it weird.. I tried chocolate before and didn't like it.. Dun think I would wanna try something new and as expensive as it is... 

Anyway, enjoy the festival my friends!!!
