Psalms 23 is an awesome passage… simple and powerful. Every verse speaks of LIFE, if we take time to understand them… There are only 6 verses in this chapter. If we just take 5 minutes a day to meditate on each verse, we’ll be surprised how it breathes words to us as we go about our daily lives...
1~The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
2~He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters
To be continued….
The other day, out of desperation to help bb S fight her high fever, I heeded a friend’s advice to try a home remedy.
Friend: “When I was young and had high fever, my mom used to make a dough out of plain flour and raw egg, put it on my chest for about 20minutes. My fever subsided immediately. It’s very effective!!”
We googled it and found some comments on the effectiveness of this traditional method.
When I took this picture, I was having a good laugh and couldn’t wait to brag about the success of the home remedy.
A few hours later, I was at the paediatrician being ‘educated’ on how infants under 1 year-old could react to egg white.
Not only did the fever remain, bb S developed a red patch of rash on her chest, possibly from the egg.
Do not judge or roll your eyes. I know I need more wisdom. Sorry bb S...
Note: the remedy was done when daddy M was not at home. As usual, he was calm when he found out…

After reading my previous post, daddy M asked me:“how come I wasn’t mentioned at all?”
Oh yes, I got carried away…How could I have missed daddy M? The pillar who :-
I am expecting good things to come out of this week.
Monday morning: Went for a scheduled MRI for my knee which has been giving me some problem.
Tuesday morning: On my way to see the doc to review the MRI (above), my cab was knocked from the rear. I suffered a mild concussion and some pain on my back. With that I was given a week of hospitalisation leave (alternative to hospital admission).
Tuesday afternoon: Went for a back MRI and neck X-Ray as a result of the accident.
Wednesday morning: Physiotherapy for the above.
Wednesday afternoon: Review of second MRI shows a tear on the disc fibrosis at my lower back and a minor whiplash on my neck.
It’s only mid-week but it’s been one heck of a week.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
~Psalm 23:6
We are always fickle, especially in our travelling plans. More so with bb S in our lives.
First we planned to visit daddy M’s sister and nephews in Melbourne in December. Then we heard that it may be very hot this summer. So we changed our plans to Tasmania, hoping to escape from the heat. A few days later, suddenly we were travelling half the globe to Cape Town because the air tickets were cheap. Yes we can be unrealistic at times. So we popped some reality pills and agreed that we should wait another 5 more years to enjoy the Safari together with bb S. Then we were going to Paris and Aix en Province. Too cold too cold! Kyoto and Tokyo would be better. I was thrilled to fulfil my dream! Sigh…but 10-15°C is still too cold for the little fella considering that we sleep in 26°C (with blanket).
Finally we took the exotic route to Chiang Mai or Bali. Perfect weather.
We tossed a few coins and read hundreds of reviews from Tripadvisor.
Uluwatu Beach here we come.
It’s also my alternative to the Amalfi Coast…
After a 5-year break, with a few weddings and babies in between, we decided to relive the memories of Halloween. It was more like an excuse that we created to get together. This time, no blood and no scary makeup (phew!). First we were not sure if people still dress up for this day. Secondly, we needed an age appropriate theme. Black attire, witches hats, red/black lipsticks and nails. Glamorous. Or so we thought we were.
Another dress up party.
My sweet neighbour made us a Halloween meal– eye balls, meat loaf, coffin sandwich and fingers…
