T.I.R.E.D

I can't think of a better title. TIRED is the only word to describe me in recent weeks. I wonder how long more are we going to battle with this sleeping topic...

S had been sleeping through the night end of last year, hence we converted her cot into a junior bed. However, the accessibility of the bed has allowed her to come down easily and climb into our bed. Other nights she would wake up during the night, requesting for milk (knowing that we won't entertain that idea).
It must have been weeks since we last slept through the night.

Cousin: Sis, why do you look like this?
Me: Like what?
Cousin: Like a zombie.

If this is from my angelic cousin who hardly has anything bad to say, I need a face lift.

Learning by association

You know that a child is completely brained washed by Sesame Street when this conversation takes place:-

Adult: What colour is this? (holding on to a red magic pen)
Child: Elmo colour
Adult: (?????!) What colour is this? (yellow pen)
Child: Big bird colour
And the list goes on with Oscar (green), Abby Cadabby (pink), Ernie (orange) etc with the entire box of magic pens being represented by the Sesame Street crew.

January's fruit(s)

Blogging has been on my mind. But too many distractions - Travel (CNY back home), restarting my engine at work (after the Dec break), TVB series, lack of sleep, being sick (skin infection) and some disspointments in life were the main deterents- yes yes, blame it all on others...

At the beginining of the year I had planned to record at least one "fruit" for each month, in line with the theme of the year, "Unceasing fruitfulness". I think this is a good reason for me to resume my bloggging.

Fruits in January :-

**6/6 vision - yes! No more glasses! This also means my dark eye circles are now naked to the world!

**I started reading the bible. Like really R.E.A.D. and not use it as a hypnotising tool

**Best friend started to attend church (again) after 20 years. I pray that she knows that Jesus will never leave nor forsake her.

Paternal bond

When mommy is not around, daddy automatically becomes her BFF.

Little girl

25 months of joy and we have gradually reached a comfortable stage. The diaper bag is getting lighter (with lesser toys/ change of clothes/ flasks), the play pan has just been stored away and her baby cot is now a junior bed!

Me: Are you a baby?

S: No, I’m a little girl.

A little girl who enjoys school so much that we started her on the 5-day program, from 3-days. A little girl who is a chatter box in class!!  A little girl who loves to wear her mommy’s shoes and is able to put on her own…

6/6 vision in the making

First day at work after almost 1 month of rest and 1 week after 2nd PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy) on my left eye. PRK is a type of LASIK but with longer recovery. It's been a frustating day with blurry vision and difficulty to focus,despite having adjusted all font size to the LARGEST. Kept telling myself - Keep calm and carry on. All will be fine... soon.

Unceasing fruitfulness

Nothing beats spending first week of Jan at home – resting. Well technically I was supposed to rest but in reality it’s not possible with an attention-craving 2-year old.

A brand new year. What do I look forward too? Loads. I expect to see fruits every month! I firmly believe 2012 will be much better than 2011. I see myself grow spiritually and gaining more kingdom friends. I see my family blessed and protected. I see constant favour at work. I see multiplication.

Jeremiah 17:7

Blessed is the man who TRUSTS in the LORD,

And whose HOPE is in the LORD

For he shall be like a TREE planted by the waters,

And will NOT FEAR when heat comes

But its leaf will be GREEN

And will NOT BE ANXIOUS in the year of drought

Nor will cease from YIELDING FRUIT.
