My 2 plus year old boy had a 1.5cm cut on his big toe when he tried to open the door as we are leaving the cell group place at Yvonne and Victor's house. Flap of skin came out and blood was oozing out of the wounds. He didn't cry but only complained that it's painful. Joseph washed his wounds immediately and still he didn't cry. Yvonne quickly put a plaster over the wound and he was very calm throughout. We were so amazed at his bravery! What a courageous boy! Mummy is so proud of you.
He kept unusually quiet in the car when Jo drove us home. Only to jump up when he heard the word "Mac Donald" when a member mentioned this in the car. Mac Donald sure have a irresistible charm for all young kiddos! ~ haha.
My boy also said something quite amazing recently. We often prayed in the car and he will started asking us to pray for him, followed by mummy, daddy, his grandmother, grandfather, pet dog and so on and so forth. Now he would say " Ki la ba ba", imitating us praying in tongues. It was so funny! But we tried not to laugh so as not to discourage him from "praying in the spirit".
Jayden likes to watch Transformer and it was quite amazing that he knows the names " bumber bee,autobots, optimus prime and even decepticon". He call the male lead actor as " kor kor" and lead actress as "jie jie". He asked me one day " Jie Jie is very pretty, can i bring home?" I was speechless. Another time " Jie Jie and Kor Kor Kor kissed mouth, can i kiss your mouth?" Joseph and I took pain to explain to him "Only Jie Jie and Kor Kor can, Mummy and son cannot, daddy and son cannot." Oh my gosh, don't know if he understands. We are just afraid we might received calls from the child care that he kissed girls in class! lol!
I must says that this boy brings much joy into our lives! What a gift and blessing from God!

This is it! Today I had bleeding suddenly, fresh blood. I rushed to the Gynae with Joseph and had a jab as my uterus is bleeding. I'm now on 1 week mc. I have think of nothing else, priority is my baby and to rest and rest and rest.
This week has been very draining for me, not because of work but because of some nonsense that is going around. There are just all sort of people, murmuring, gossiping, twisting words, and saying things that I don't even know. These people are just horrible, nothing better to do just like to talk and talk.人言可畏. Sometimes misunderstandings and unnecessary spinnings are caused by such.
Someone said I've got a promotion. Woohoo! Strange, I did not even know that!?? haha. Sounds like a good prophecy. lol
Another someone who left the bank long long time ago knows what are the cases I closed, who leave and etc! Wow! That's better than CNN!
Another person from a very distant far far away land said another amazing thing that I was crying cos of another so and so... sigh... please la, where did you see me cry, how did you see me cry? I cry very easily. Not only did I cry. Many hundreds and thousands cry together with me. lol! Let me give a few options, guess which is the right answer?
1) touched by God in church service?
2) watched a touching Titantic movie replaying at channel 5?
3) Acting in a drama series?
4) Family Disputes? or worst still,
5)somebody in my family died? (choy!).
The fact is somehow people will an interpreted differently and non of the answers above and start again spread la and spread and spread and spread la.
Stop sowing discords sia? Brothers and Sisters, believers or not, this is something that God hates. and enough is enough, I had enough of all these nonsense. I can't stop these rumors from spreading, but I just got to be careful and know that these words are purely malicious and sprang from a bitter poisonous spirit? sigh sigh.... No wonder the bible says the tongue is like a little fire that can cause a forest fire in James! Tsk Tsk. Sigh.
Well, I'm going to play the bo chup role, not going to care so much about what people say, how people interpret, who say what, what say who. It's non of your business and non of my business!
I'm going to shut my ears, shut my mouth, do my own things and live my quiet life with my family and earn a decent living in Citibank. I'm not mad nor angry... just got to move on and commit everything to God. lol!
Don't think nor spin too much. :)
This is my prayer, if my heart is not right before You, please rebuke/correct me. If I don't get it, then speak to Me through the service/ cell group or somebody who is spiritually more mature than me. I want to be teachable and mouldable and please bring. me back to the 1st love if I were to stray. I am far and very far from perfection, that why I need Your Grace and Mercy and Protection. Help me to walk through the valley, and not to repeat my mistakes again. You will not shame me nor reject me, cause You created me to love me. I'm sorry that I caused some heartaches to You at times, but please forgive me and help me to get up and walk with you again.
In You, I am more than a conquerer! I confess by faith and walk by faith and in accordance to Your Words, cos that's what pleases You. When I'm weak, You are strong! Finally, I speak to my soul, PROSPER and my every aspect of my life will flourish!
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

I'm now at my 14-15th week of my pregnancy and for the last 2 weeks been having some light brown/pinkish spotting which cause some undue worries.
Been taking the medicine meant to help stablises the womb. The medicine does help but the spotting kept coming back if I missed it by 2 hours or so. This is even more so for the last 2 days. Read up some information on this online, seemed that it's common but need a lot of bed rest and care. No caffeine, stay happy, think happy things, eat proper and regular, don't rush etc I guess will help I guess.
Most likely I will see my Gynae tomorrow. Please pray for me and my baby and I can have full term delivery.

MFA finds Ionescu’s comments "puzzling"
Channel NewsAsia
Channel NewsAsia - Saturday, February 27
[MFA finds Ionescu’s comments ] MFA finds Ionescu’s comments "puzzling"
SINGAPORE: Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has said it is puzzled by comments made to the media by the former Romanian Charge d’Affaires linked to a hit—and—run case here.
Dr Silviu Ionescu had said that prosecutors in Singapore were accusing him long before they had the right to do so.
The Ministry said this in response to Dr Ionescu’s remark that there should be a preliminary inquiry first and that this was clearly a sign that he should not return to the island—state.
In a statement released Friday, MFA said no charges have been made and no judgement has been passed on Dr Ionescu.
"As Singapore has made clear, the Coroner’s Inquiry to be held from 3 to 10 March 2010 into the death of Mr Tong Kok Wai is not a criminal trial. The Coroner’s Inquiry is simply to ascertain the facts and circumstances of the death," MFA said.
It reiterated that police investigations have revealed that the driver of the vehicle at the time of the two accidents was Dr Silviu Ionescu.
It noted that Dr Ionescu has denied this.
"As we have said many times, if Dr Ionescu was not the driver as he claims, then he should take the opportunity to attend the Inquiry to give his account of the events and pose questions to the witnesses, in order that the true circumstances surrounding the accidents may be determined," MFA said.
"Singapore’s legal system is well—known internationally for its integrity and transparency. The Coroner will make a finding based on the evidence presented before him."
There is a Coroner’s Inquiry next Wednesday into the death of Tong Kok Wai.
MFA has sought the assistance of the Romanian Embassy to request Dr Ionescu to return to Singapore to attend the Coroner’s Inquiry as an "interested person" and not as a potential defendant.
It said that the Public Prosecutor has not decided whether it is appropriate to charge Dr Ionescu for any offences.
It added that the decision will be taken only after all the facts have been clarified at the Coroner’s Inquiry.
"If the Coroner rules that Dr Ionescu was not the driver, no charges against him will be made. For this reason, it is in Dr Ionescu’s interest to return to Singapore to put his version before the Coroner or to appoint a lawyer in Singapore to do so on his behalf," MFA said.
It also said found another comment made by Dr Ionescu "shocking".
Dr Ionescu had reportedly said: "Someone died. It’s not something solitary, but happens all over the world. There are bigger stories out there".
"We trust the Romanian authorities do not share Dr Ionescu’s irresponsible and callous attitude," MFA said.
— CNA/yb
I've been following with this new recently. Something fishy here. I'm so glad our government made a firm stand on this gruesome car accident that result in 1 death 2 seriously injured.
It all seemed to glaringly suspicious for someone who claimed not to be guilty of the incident through the response that he gave.
Well, it doesn't mean if you are someone with authority with power or some social influence means you won't do things wrong. After all the greatest revelation that we are all human beings who are far from imperfection. lol!
But if someone who just want to shrug off responsibility and start pointing fingers at others, that's very irresponsible and disqualify himself from leadership.
Isn't it true? I'm not saying that Dr Ionesu is wrong, but I'm saying that if anyone has done anything wrong, it's so hard at times to humble themselves to say that "I'm wrong, I'm sorry" and show fruits of repentance. This is even more humbling when you are someone with authority, influence status and power.
Guess we all need Jesus, we are far far far FAR from perfection. In the process of refining us, God sometimes make us go through many process of humbling as there will be certain prides stubbornness in our lives that God wants to deal with.
What goes around comes around. What you sow, you will reap.
Hence the higher you climbed in whatever social status, the greater the responsibility and greater humility is needed.
We should all walk circumspectly having the fear of the Lord! Someone up there is watching! Lol!

Wow! I think I'm a mountain tortoise! Thanks to Ruxin for the make over of my blog.
haha. Hope everything goes well with you for your new job~!
I'm glad that I'm now 12 weeks pregnant and should anyone asked me about my pregnancy, I should be cool to tell. Quite a taboo to make known your pregnancy in a corporate company like that.Yesterday, my bossed said that he had been noticing that I've been wearing "flats" and he popped the question, "are you pregnant?". And to my surprise, I said "yes" and for a moment he thought I was joking and looked very shocked. He congratulates me eventually, smiled and told me to go on slower pace and I think everything should be ok. haha.
My due date is 26th Aug. So far has been quite accurate. All I asked is for a healthy baby. My gut feel is going to be a girl. Anyway, I will only know the gender in 1-2 months time.
Yian Yian (dialect, my boy's xiao3 ming2) is now taller and tanner than before. Maybe is because we changed his childcare to Carpe Diem at Alexandra Road. It's a non-air conditioned landed area but well ventilated. He runs, play with the sand and sometimes outdoor water play. He gets in touch with the nature everyday with pets like rabbits, ducks, chickens and fishes. He can be very mischievous at times, and get spanking from us. But many times it is very enjoyable to hold a conversation with him.
Anyway, going off for reunion lunch and dinner to both sides of our family!
Huat ah!!!

January just passed with a blink of the eye.
Time flies and Jayden is going to be 3 years old soon.
Glad I made the decision to go Citi, busy tiring but never regret the move.
A lot of opportunities provided. I just passed my modules for AWP, now going to take another 2 papers for CFP. I guess i just prefer to be working in the corporate environment.
Guess after another 1 year, then I'll move on to Private banks if possible to do trust planning.
Jo now just started A star doing business development for electric car. Some thing that he likes and job scope can give him a balanced life style.
We are thinking of having a maid soon. Got to pray for a decent one, got very bad experience the last time round.
Enjoy the tuesday meeting with pastor Tan. It's always so revelational. Jo and I cried and cried. Haha. I'm a cry baby cry too easily.
Had craving for tian ji zou (frog Porridge) recently. Jo and I went for supper without Jayden. Jo couldn't sleep the whole night while I was so satisfied, I slept so well. Haha
Victor and Yvonne have been really good friends and gave us very good support.
The older I get, the more I think about friendships are impt. Guess I got to sow into their lives.
Cindy and Sharon are good friends to have in Citi. Get to know them more here while going through the same culture, work load etc. And I'm so glad that Cindy is attached to her "Ah fat". Hope Sharon will be next. haha
Had a great lunch with Aaron Chew. He's one of those who is interesting to talk to and keep the friendship. He bought a drumset for Jayden! and I must remember not to let him play at night.Ha!
Tonight will have s steamboat cg at Yvonne's place. Victor is still at Haiti. Thank God it's friday!
