Dragon Year Celebration: Day 2

Chu Er – Visiting at Mr Pau’s relatives’ house.

Mr Pau firstly came over to my place and off we go!

Everyday must act cute ;p

I like how the bottom of my dress look like!

Wearing the red dress from Love Summer Breezes. A little too big for me,
didn’t have time to alter before the CNY. Hehe.

After visiting, we went to Esplanade. The kids:

Dinner at Blue Garden Korean BBQ Restaurant. Quite nice, they have meat (chicken, pork, beef), vegetables (lettuceeeeee!!), kim chi fried rice, fried rice cake, porridge, soup etc. I kinda enjoyed the kimchi chicken, kim chi fried rice, ikan bilis and porridge. Niceeeeee!

In times of doubt, just go for the meat, meat, meat and meat : )

YUMS!

Mr Pau moved his lips here, resulting in the legendary “sausage lips”. Wahaha!!

Going to rest, and have another round of buffet tmr!! : D

Parable of the Scorpion and Frog

A scorpion enlists a frog to take him on his back across a stream, even though the frog is astute enough to protest that the scorpion “will surely sting me and I will die.”

The scorpion points out that if he stings the frog, he will die too. The trusting frog thus takes on his passenger, is stung by him, and the two creatures drown together.

But before the frog drowns he asks, “Why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion, even though it costs us both our lives?” to which the Scorpion replies, acceptingly, “It is my nature.“

Sometimes it is sad when people act like they are always right, made right in their own self-righteousness. Or people who love adding poison, bit by bit, into other people’s lives.

They don’t really bother me in my daily life. However being silent doesn’t mean ignorance. I love being silent because winning the argument doesn’t mean you win everything.

And if you really have the best advice on earth, pardon me, why is your life so unhappy?

I always try, but it is painful to love the unlovable like these.

The One That Got Away

Old School Memories

Sometime in Nov or Dec last year, Mr Pau bought a very retro looking camera that works on film.

So we went out to take some pictures. Really difficult to finish the entire roll of film! Haha!

Our first test shot on the Doraemon puzzles ;p

We usually would eat at Citylink’s Coffee and Toast before heading to church on Sun. Love how the photo turn out!

We started to serve in 11.15am service in Dec last year. It’s really challenging! I seem to make mistakes here and there (so far it’s my 3rd time being the usher!), and I’ll feel really bad about it. Heh. I guess what is most important is that we get to serve the Lord and practice having a humble spirit.

: )

Yesterday was the Commissioning of Prayers for helpers like us.

Wore my “favourite” dress to church yesterday:

Bought this belt last weekend at Bugis Village Level 2. 2 for $15. Hohoho ;p

Earlier in the first week of Jan, we had lunch with Mr Pau’s family:

The boys:

Happy New Yearrrrr 2012!

2012 said hello even before I could react! Haha!

Was sick on the very last day of 2011, and was gong gong erm, drowsy as people were ushering in the brand new year!

Didn’t really have time for New Year resolution (rarely works for me though ;p), here’s a brief one though:

1. Self
A lot of times I could be very easily affected by people’s comments or words, especially those which are not true (that I think).

Sometimes people can have a very weird way of processing or defining matters, which made me wonder (or perhaps it could have been me haha!). Very often, I get very frustrated easily and I felt wronged.

During these times, I probably will just keep quiet (before I explode). And when I keep quiet, unfortunately, I look very angry.

So in 2012, I look forward to develop a humble spirit, who doesn’t explode easily at other people’s comments. Others can say what they want, but what is important is how the Father sees me from Heaven : )

2. The Pau
The year 2012 was supposed to be the year for our wedding (as we would have planned previously). However due to some minor changes and requirements, we have to shift it to the next year, due to the wedding rush in the Year of Dragon. Hahaha.

At this moment, I would agree that we can see everyone’s inner self (probably hidden or subconscious flaws) through a wedding.

Very much as I lament about how others not care about what I want in my wedding, I probably have to just give in so everyone can be happy over this joyous occassion.

So I guess my dream wedding of a very simple and casual affair is kaput already. Hahaha.. Hafta do it the Singaporean style. But oh well, what’s more important probably is the marriage for life, not the 1 day wedding ceremony : )

* * * * * *

3. Work and Health
To be able to work and be on track, I have finally realised the importance of health. I rarely fall sick really bad, but I was kind of down since last Sep to the end of the year, with minor break downs here and there. Hehe.

I probably have to work out an exercise schedule with The Pau for 2012. HEHEHE!

* * * * * *

So there, 2012 is gonna be a blast for us! : )
