I almost was locked out of my own home

Firstly, I want to thank God for allowing us to retrieve our house keys which dropped into the car.

It happened when I took the keys out from my pocket and wanting to put into one of the compartments near the 'cigarette hole' - the socket that allows you to charge your handphone battery. It was amazing that after sitting in my Father-in-law's car for the last one month, I did not realize that, that particular compartment is hollow. :S :S :S :S :S :S so that's where I dropped my keys into. To make matters worse, Adrian didn't bring the house keys. If we don't retrieve it, we won't be able to go back to home.....

We tried everything. I tried putting my hand into the tiny hole but it didn't work. *big sigh* Adrian went to buy some wires and tried to hook it back up, to no avail... sad :(

Finally we drove from Bras Basah to Defu Lane to find help from the mechanic. On my way there, I prayed but I was frustrated... what a test... The mechanic pulled up the rubber that concealed the gear box, asked us to try and look into it to see if the keys are there... I couldn't see anything but grease... Adrian also couldn't see anything but he used his hands and try to feel for the keys underneath... and ta daaaaaaaaaa... my house keys were retrieved.

Thank God for being with us. This experience has caused us to want to put a pair of spare keys at my in-law's place.

I wish I can forget what getting frustrated is like... to feel frustration is not a good feeling.. maybe I should just forget about getting frustrated if next time i feel like getting frustrated.

truth hurts but it heals too

2 nights ago, I asked a very close friend of mine if I am an insistent person. Haha.. without any second thoughts, she said yes. Wow, that drove a long nail right through my heart. If you ask, you'll get the answers. Of course, initially I would think to myself, I do not think I am an insistent person all the time but I only insist when I am sure about certain things close to my heart i.e. when I have been seeking God about it or it is IN my system due to long periods of conditioning e.g. spiritually or just my personal value system. That analysis certainly made me felt better but it also got me reflecting (truth heals). As I thought through, certainty about something for me will activate a wish/desire to see it happen immediately and NOW. If it is God's will, it is NOW. As I look back on buying our first flat, it was the same. When I first view the unit (my current place), I was quite sure that the house was IT. But my then fiance and husband now do not think so and asked me ...

God leads us along

I attended a memorial service of Pastor Derek Tan, Former President of TCA, the bible school which I graduated from. It was a night of remembering. The fondest memory I have of him was his sense of humour. Last night, a lecturer of the bible school gave her eulogy, his sense of humour once again surfaced. On his hospital bed, he asked his fellow colleague to bring him some good food. When asked what he would like to eat, he asked for sharks' fins. Food and humour. As I sat where I was listening to the eulogies, I asked myself, what a person be most remembered for? For Pastor Derek Tan, he will always be remembered for his kindness and graciousness, beyond all that he has accomplished, a man like him will always be remembered by how he has treated others. No hint of ranks lurks each time I sit in his room after a semester ends to discuss which courses I should be taking for the next semester. He would talk to me like how would talk to a friend. I will always remember his reassuring ...

it's a girl!

Ok. after a long wait. Finally... the gynae is able to confirm that the baby is a girl. Although the disclaimer clause states 80% - 90% accuracy. :) Quite happy that every 'structure' is in place. She has 2 eyes, one nose, one mouth. two hands with five fingers on each hand, a beating heart, 2 kidneys, one stomach a brain... , one tiny head, feet measuring 3cm each and liver... (the nurse in the clinic used the word 'structure' so .....) The detailed scan is suppose to detect any abnormalities so the result so far is normal.... Curious to find out though what she will look like. I am thinking of keeping long hair for her but daddy says, no, short hair better. So, till then... we shall see. yup and not forgetting to keep praying for her to be a teachable and moldable kid and one who will love God always.
