Birthday wishes to a first-time mum.

Happy Birthday, sis. How do you feel being a first-time mum? I know you enjoy it very much. When are you planning for your second one? =) God has blessed you abundantly. Though you are very fierce, you are still a great woman, hahahahahaha.....I think Nathan will tone you down a lot!!! ^_^

It's the final count down.

It's my last week in Oundle, I'm moving out on Thursday. I know I'll be missing this place for a while. I still don't know where I'm staying for long yet but at least now I'm gonna bug my friends for a temp shelter ;) I think I'll be out of internet connection for a few days, 5 days minimum. Can't imagine my life without it. It will be my first time in five years maybe? Bless me.

Have been moving almost every year, feeling like a nomad. Despite the separation from friends, I quite enjoy travelling around. This is God's blessing to me, to be able to live and work in a place and make new friends. What more could you ask for? God is good, all the time.

By the way, I'll be flying home in September to renew my passport and apply for visas so will be stopping by KL and most possibly fly back to Sibu for a short while. So if you miss me, don't hesitate to leave me some contacts here so I can catch you while I'm back. x

明天就放假了,突然不舍的心情涌上心头。人哪人,总是矛盾的。曾几何时,我是有多么的不喜欢这些学生;顿然间,我好像又喜欢上他们。不过,我真的想过不一样的生活,想过一个非老师的生活。下一步,应该怎么走?我真的不知道。妈妈说迫切祷告,诚心祈求,上帝必定垂听、带领。真的,虽然懂,总是会忘记。人,毕竟是软弱的。

Isabelle..

Happy Birthday, my sweet pumpkin Isabelle. Guys, don't vomit, I just can't love her enough!!! Today, Belle Belle's three and she's turned into a young lady who knows how to charm people, she's lovable wherever she goes, trust me, you just can't resist not loving her!!

BB was around four months old when I saw her for the very first time (Nov 2005). I could remember vividly that I couldn't concentrate on my work that day as I had a strong urge to rush back to see her. I think she must have thought: "This aunty is weird, I'm scared of her.". I was overflowed with joy and intense love that when she pooped on me, I was even laughing at her 'cute' response. Nope, you can't do that! I'm totally appalled by your response!

Last year when I saw her for the second time, she felt distant from me and wouldn't let me hold her and I was truly heartbroken. Luckily she made me happy again after that. Geez, I haven't seen any men making me this heartbroken before. BB could place me in the heaven and hell just like that *snap*. Pathetic? Hell no!

I miss BB very much!! Am I obsessed with BB? NO WAY, I'm in love with her, and also my other nephews - Elijah, Enoch, Nathan. They're so adorable and definitely precious gifts given from God. I can't wait to see them...only God knows when.

少年人。。。

长这么大,还没有真正一次看到两个人正面冲突,即拳头相对。今天,我终于见识到了。我们老师在学校,其实都会被委任一些工作,好像维持秩序之类的。今天是我的duty日,所以跟往常一样,像个呆子站在角落,看学生人来人往。以为又是无聊的一天,可偏偏就是个最不一样的星期四。

还有剩下十来分钟就到了上课的时间,就在这时,不可思议的事情发生了。金发女郎一像火箭似的冲向金发女郎二。我是迟钝了一些,以为只是朋友般的胡闹,哪知道,根本就是黑社会嘛!说时迟,那时快,一郎已经一拳一拳地向二郎的脸挥去。我们女人打架,不免会用上下三烂的招数:扯头发,别小看哦,可疼的呢!虽然那时的我是吓得屁滚尿流,可碍于是个老师,不得不冲上前去制止黑社会情况再延续。别忘了,我虽然不算是矮冬瓜,可就是不能跟这些‘外人’比呀,小学生也许还有胜算,中学生??无眼看啦!整件事情,从发生到结束,其实只有十秒之久,但感觉好像超过一分钟,好不恐怖!!!!

我只觉得,现今的社会真的在退步,我想媒介的影响是不容置疑的。或者多看些有益身心的书,少看些暴力的戏,会逐渐提升一些比较正面的教导。无论如何,父母应该多参与小孩子的活动,不应该让他们过度自由发挥,因为毕竟在他们这个年龄,还是不太适合给予太多的自由,还不成熟的思想,是非常有可能滥用这份自由的。

Children - precious gifts from God.

Since the day I was born, I knew I was a girl full of love for other people. Particularly, I have always loved babies and love to take care of them as well. I never find their poops disgusting or am too lazy to bathe them, because I enjoy spending time with babies. Maybe you'd say I am only keen in the first few days and will lose interest if it was for a long-term commitment. Yes, you could be right, that is why I am not having my own, as I am not sure if I can give my babies 101% of my life....YET, hahaha. At this stage of my life, I still prefer to take care and play with my nephews and niece.

There are always disputes on how you should take care of a baby, and of course every parent does things differently. Whatever the method, I think we should always ensure the natural ingredients take in the priority. Even adults like us will reject (I mean the body) if there were too many artificial ingredients in our daily intake. So, when I have my own baby next time, I'll always remind myself to give natural ingredients to my baby, i.e. cutting down on processed food as much as possible. You can be my reminder too, hehehe.

Babies/toddlers should rest early at night, especially when they have quite a busy schedule in daytime. And be careful, I said 'especially not 'only'. So those who haven't had a busy schedule, they still need to sleep early. They need sufficient time to regenerate so that they can grow up healthily. I think it is quite hard for the young parents like you and me (I know I won't be young if I had a baby in the future) when we have been living like a night owl for the last ten odd years. We really need to put in big effort so that our children come first in all the things we do. Wow, what a sacrifice, don't you think? Once again, that is why I am not having any....YET.

Though I have no children, I can totally understand how hard it is to be a parent, better yet a mother, except for the labouring process. It is the toughest job of all and I pay my utmost respect to all the parents, if you are reading this now.
