When David and I wed in 1999, we yearned very much for a child to complete our family. For those who know, we spent 9 long years seeking this dream. When Dana was born in 2008, our family was complete. Families are the cornerstone of any society. Families nurture, preserve and pass the values and virtues we hold dear onto the next generation. In the family, we learn our first lessons of love and discipline, respect and responsibilities, empathy and compassion for others. David … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday: (Love you for) A Thousand Years (Piano/Cello Cover)
The hubs heard this instrumental cover of Christina Perri's A Thousand Years on his way back from work one evening and dedicated to me on his FB page that very night when I was asleep. His message reads,A Dedication: After having the life sucked out of me from the week's demands at work...I paused and remember how much harder it is for my wife who has to balance the demands of a professional working life with the demands of home (and sometimes an unappreciative husband) and having to tear … [Read more...]
The Origins of our Love…
I'm listening to Taylor Swift's You Belong with Me as I typed this post to get myself in the mood to share our love story. Many of our friends are surprised that David and I have been wed 13 years, 'That long!?" they usually remarked. Over the years, our love has mellowed into a deep, mutual commitment and affection for each other. We have grown to become the indispensable companion and soul-mate which God has designed husbands and wives to be... Our love story started *er-hem* in the … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday: Dance like no one’s watching…
The Princess and her classmates performed an inspiring Flamenco Dance at the Kindy Concert last Saturday which made all parents swell with pride. So often, we (adults) carry the burden of the world's opinions and perceptions but the children have this timeless reminder for us:Dance, like no one is watching...Love, like you'll never be hurt...Sing, like no one is listening...Live, like it's heaven on earth. Linking up with Sakura Haruka's … [Read more...]

Thankful Tuesday: Teaching Children to Worship…
Last month, we went to Tecman Christian Bookstore in search of a new women's devotional bible (which was supposedly an overdue Mother's Day gift promised by Daddy). As usual, we lingered around in the bookstore even after I found my bible; browsing the wide variety of resources on sale.In the far corner of the shop, this series of Children's Worship CD from 'Streams of Praise Taiwan' caught my attention with its colourful, bright graphics. Daddy liked the fact that each CD comes with free … [Read more...]
