8th-May-2012 01:23 am - Motherhood journey 7 May 2012
Rainbow Smiles

It is really something to count as blessing for from God to be a mother, to journey in motherhood! It definitely hasn't been easy being a mum and I am not the patient sort. Yet, God gave me grace through it to be able to come this far - 3.5 months... Haha... This is only the beginning. .

It is simply amazing to be able to witness every little progress my little baby makes in her growth. Every little 'first' steps that Zoe makes blessed my heart & made my heart skip with joy... It is amazing how a little baby grows on a day to day basis & a privilege to be able to witness it. A part of me is unwilling to return to work, yet, we all need to earn a living...

Seeing Zoe grow, smile, move, sit, stand, Gil her bottle... Hearing her speak, scream, yell & yearn for attention melts my heart to want to always be there for her. Of cos, her cries are something I dread hearing & needs help to cope with. It does drive me up the wall of insanity from time to time but I always give in STILL... I guess that's what people call mother's heart.

Hoping to find more mummy friends so we can share and support each other through motherhood... :))

Still very grateful to Jesus for Zoe, despite all the swaying that hurts my back... :))

11th-Feb-2012 01:18 am - My life changed...
Rainbow Smiles

17 Jan 2012 marked a new phase of my life, our lives... Zoe Foo was born @ 2155. She is really a God-sent angel to Daryl & I.

I love God for hearing my prayers! Zoe really has double eye lid on both eyes, dimple like Daryl's, cute & 非常挺的鼻子, beautiful eye brows, proportionate ears & mouth... She is simply beautiful with sharp features! I know God will continue to guide and bless her!

Time flies & darling Zoe is 24 days old... Can't imagine what kinda times are ahead of us in this new family we've built together... I know God will continue to provide & bless us! Thank you, Jesus!

34 more days to the arrival of beautiful Baby Zoe! *Excited!*
Although gynae says Baby Zoe is engaged in the position already, Hubby & I are trusting God that she will do well in her growth these couple of weeks and that she will be fully developed before coming forth to see us! Keep her and us in prayers!

I can't wait to see her! It's a whole new experience, a whole new phase of life! Father God, bless us! Prepare our hearts to receive the many joy set before us! :D

It was gloomy Monday when the sky was overcast. . . Today is rainy Tuesday where the sky was first overcast, then clear sky but heavy rain! What a way for this week to start. . . Besides, it's F1 week...

I want to start a blog on my thoughts towards parenthood and my baby. . . But then Livejournal doesn't seem to allow 1 user with multiple accounts... WHY??? -.-

It's been so long since I have updated this blog. . .

Today feels like a day of release because I don't have to face a monster @ work and I can definitely breathe better without stinky perfume. . .

Been thinking a lot about life & commitments. . . Time not only flies but it flies by quickly.
Was watching SMURFS with hubby on Sunday & I must say I am really touched by what Papa Smurf told Master Winston. . . - You will be a good papa too. . . - It's very often in that moment in time when you make a decision that your life changes. For Papa Smurf, it doesn't take forever to know what he wants because he already knew all he wanted was for his little smurfs to be safe and happy, even at the expense of himself. --> This is LOVE. - a love that I think I can identify with at this point in time... a parental love. :)

Time passes us by so quickly... It is already 5months now... I can so count down to the arrival of my sweet little princess! :D

This saying is always so true: Change is the only constant in life!

18 May 2011 marks a new beginning for Singapore as PM Lee Hsien Loong announced his new Cabinet to the world. 18 May 2011 is probably one of those days that truly turned my moodiness into joy & also a day I said I don't mind being a reporter on the political matters of Singapore...

There are many changes. Yet, I believe these changes are for the better future of Singapore. May God bless PM Lee & his new team of ministers with wisdom as they lead Singapore forward!

7th-Mar-2011 12:17 pm - It's been a while
Rainbow Smiles
It's been a while since I blogged but I feel a need today!

There is a monster before me! I watched "I am number four" with hubby and family yesterday. It's a science fictional movie. It was okay. Not too bad. But those evil monsters reminded me of the very monster right before my eyes - sucking every single breathe of number 4 away from him. Terrible.

There is such a thing as breathing space. However, monster F doesn't allow for that. Is monster F a freak? Maybe. Is monster F too lonely and wants some of me? Perhaps. Whatever it is, monster F wants more than just me. Monster F wants all the power in this environment. Monster F seems a part of the anti-XX party. I totally detest monster F. If only I could gobble monster F up... Fret not. I can't! cos I am not a monster!!! Wahahaha!

Change is the only constant in life. Moving on is an affirmation that I am doing things right. Thank you.

28th-Dec-2010 10:21 am - E376 Thanksgiving BBQ
Rainbow Smiles

26 Dec 2010. Sunday. Gideon's house.

Tonight is a memorable night for me. This year's thanksgiving means a lot more than usual. An unstructured gathering, relaxed and unmasked. A night where I am myself. I don't need to specially reach any one in particular.

Thank you for every single individual in E376! You made a big difference in my life! Your existence added joy to my life!

I would like to use this note to make special mention to each and everyone of you:

Dear Gideon, you are always so dear to my heart. Because of your willingness to stand in the gap for me, my ministry is strengthened. No matter what others say, you always try to flow with me. Because of your ability to flow, the presence of God is always there. THANK YOU!

Dear Gracelyn, you too are always so dear to my heart. We may not speak much but you know my heart, and this blessed my heart and encouraged me with comfort to minister freely in the CG. Though you may move to CCH, but we are still ONE family. Forever, you are a part of us. THANK YOU!

Dear Sebastian, you are my most teachable disciple! Because of your openness, you are easily moldable. Because of your willingness, you enabled me to be a better leader, assuring me that I can always count on you. THANK YOU!

Dear Katherine, you are amazing with everything you do. Your pursuit for perfection is an inspiration to me. You are always so willing to help me when it is within your means. I want you to know that you are such an angel to me! THANK YOU!

Dear Vivian, you are so close to my heart. You may be busy but you always make effort to try and help me out with different ones. THANK YOU!

Dear Anthea, you are a sweet angel from Daddy God to me. From the first day we have met, you are such a joy in my life! We may have differences and I have failed you many times, but forgive me k? I am not perfect but I will try to be the best sister I know how to you. THANK YOU!

Dear Leon, you have such inspirational attitude that never fails to bless my heart. You never give up on anything! This is so amazing! You have added colors to my life! THANK YOU!

Dear Pin Xuan, your amazing desire to know God more and have more of Him in your life is a great encouragement to me. Each time when I reach out to someone, I think of your testimony. THANK YOU!

Dear Audrey, you are such a sweet sister. Your willingness to stand for God and desire to see salvation at home blessed me so much. You cannot imagine what an amazing inspiration you have been to me. THANK YOU!

Dear Ian, you have an unbelievable love for people! Because of your immense love, you reached out. Even when people don't respond, you didn't give up. You kept reaching out. You are simply amazing! Your presence in E376 is so precious to me. THANK YOU!

Dear Zhen Rong, you may be quiet but your desire to want to know God more is awesome! Because of your desire, you inspired me to want to give BS with the best of all I can offer once again. THANK YOU!

Dear Christy, you are soooooooooo quiet! But you talk to me. So that does make me happy. Hahah! THANK YOU!

Dear Lucius (Uncle), you are so uncle! (hahaha! Kidding!) You are probably the only one that I would really talk openly and not be worried that my sharing might affect you. Thank you for being so mature and so my age that I know I can trust you and your maturity to handle truths. THANK YOU!

Dear Jacqueline, you are so noisy! Haha! But that is what makes you uniquely JACQ! Because you never stop talking, I always know when you are around! THANK YOU!

Dear Juliana & Jordan, you may be quiet but your laughters add smiles to my face. You both are such a joy to have! THANK YOU!

Dear Samson, you are so amazing! You love God. You love people. You have a phenomena love to see people receiving salvation! You have blessed me so much with your maturity in God! THANK YOU!

Dear Xavier, welcome to the family! You have just added joy to my Christmas! THANK YOU!

THANK YOU for being so sweet! The video is great! I must say it is touching; I fought hard against my tears. My tears obviously failed me again. But nvm. . . **my name is spelled wrongly... Not all messages are heard clearly due to noisy background...** But! THANK YOU, E376!

Oh, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY 2011!

Love,
Lorraine
