Hi. Just blog on something lighter than usual. :)

It's my 29th Birthday today. 29 years ago, God decided that I should be on earth and here I am.
Sometimes I question my own existence, but that aside I am here and I should make the best of my time here.

My husband celebrated my birthday 3 days earlier as we have prayer meeting in church today. It's ok with me, after all it's just a day and as long as HE remembers, I'm glad. He told me that we were going to a posh place to eat and to dress my best. I told him for me to meet his request, I need to buy a dress to match the occassion, he willingly gave his consent but peppered here and there with some remarks that I already have a few dresses in my wardrobe and are some seldom worn.

On Monday, I bought the dress at lightning speed (within 10 mins). The price was right, the fit was nice and I was happy. I wore that dress to "THE DINING ROOM" for the dinner that he would buy me. We ordered a dozen of fresh oysters and beef cheeks as starter. The oysters were so delicious, fresh and crunchy... describing it now has made the taste returned to my tongue. Unforgetable.

Each of us ordered a main course: HiS - Lobster and MINE - Grilled Lamb Cutlet and a few pieces of lamb fillet. It was grilled to such precision you can taste the heart in the cooking.

Adrian was particularly in love with the free flow of toasted mini baguettes, he had 3 pieces while I had 2. We were particularly drawn to the aroma of the toasted baguettes, very tasty even when eaten on its own.

The entire experience of fine dining was a pleasant one. The price was explosive but well... only once a year... :)

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 ...

6 weeks plus & 4.5mm

I went to the gynae yesterday. For the first time, I heard and saw the baby's heartbeat through the ultrasound scan. It's quite amazing at this point. The gynae told me that the baby is not feeding from me yet, it is attached to a yolk and the yolk is where it draws its nutrients from. It's just great to think that when God created the reproduction system, God saw to every detail. I wonder where did the yolk come from and how it is attached to the baby. It's a mystery to me but it causes me to sing yet again in praise to God. When people heard that I was pregnant, they would expressed their excitement in WOWS & YAYS. For myself, I didn't had such an expression. When I found out that I was pregnant via the test kit, I went "Oh, I am pregnant" - as a matter of factly. Similarly, when Adrian found out that I was pregnant, he had the same response as me. We weren't into screaming the whole house/neighbourhood down. For us, it was sober and thoughtful. ...
