Accumulator
Had to clear the house to prepare for our third child. She can't be sleeping with her kor kor and jie jie. So , got to move out of study room for her. Which mean clearing the storage room for stuff from study room to move in.
Can't believe I actually accumulate and keep so much. I hate tidying up stuff and having to dig into history is no fun, it means stirring up the dust! This is no archeologist at work. Arheologists worked for their interest.
The good thngs, we get rid of some stuf which we thot we would use one day. After being in the box since 2001, we are convinced that we don't need them. Some of the stuff are still new and in their oringinal box. We decide to give to Salvation Army. Heopefully, someone else with find it useful.
The whole exercise turned up to be quite spiritual. I realise that very often we don't throw stuff because we feel insecure. We thot we might need it one day. Letting it go is a form of trusting God will provde when we need it. Also, letting go calls for giving up what is not essential. It means living in simplicity. That is an ancient spiritual discipline which is not easy for us, the modern materialistic generation. Lastly, it brings back memory of places we had been and all these places reminded us that God was with us there and here.

Sunset
Took this with my HP. Like it alot.
Not sure if you had noticed it before. If you would look out of your window at around 7 am. You would notice that the 'range of hdb flats' are golden-lited. Imagine a bit further, they are like your mountain range reflecting the glory of morning sun.
The other day, when I went back to my cube, I was shocked!! First, I thot I stepped into th wrong cube, then I realised that it is mine. My next thot was "who dare to occupy my desk".
Then I remember Amanda told me she and Shaun (I think) tidied up my desk. You can see the final and before. It is amazing lor....
No worry desk... I will be back.. in May!

God gives strength
yesterday, while I was at a Autistic school, I heard a piece of bad news.
My wife's friend just found out that she has breast cancer. She is mother of 3, with the youngest just over one year old and has Down's symdrome. SHe is home-schooling her own children, and have to send the youngest to special school and now has to face the shock of breast cancer. Live is hard for her and family. I felt so sad for us. Then the austistic children I met added on to the notion that life is indeed not a bed of roses.
Amazingly, God is gracious and he also gives us hope. There are torns but there are also the petal and aroma. My wife's friend is trusting God and somehow, I am amazed by the strength she found God.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound......

God in my waking,
God in my watching,

overcast
Went to marina mandarin to stay over the weekend. It was fun! The kids loved the pool alot. Of cos, we dun have to tiddy up the place. Yay!
Did something unusual. Went to wait outside creative shop there just to see if I can be the first 20 to get Neeon at $169. Never expect I would but i did. Haha.
Anyway, I am more of having a worry overcasting all the fun. My wife has an infection under the skin at her arm. I pray that the antibiotics can control it. If not, a minor op to remove the infected tissue will be necessary. Will she recover soon before the delivery? Will it take o along time? I am worried...... sigh.
Lord, grant me and my wife peace as we trust in You. Amen.

High Fever
Past nights had been most stressful and streneous. Was watching over my children, first Karis, then Zuriel. The fever was so high that even after taking paracetamol, Karis was still having 28 degree. We had to bring her to doc three times and had to take 2 different drugs to control the fever. Last night, Zuriel temp went up to 39.9!! Gave him the stronger drug and then sponged him. I pray that last night was the peak for him. Thank God that Karis fever is gone.
Both my wife and myself are dead tired.
Thank God my father could help during the morning.
God is indeed my rod and staff, they comfort me.
