Little Chloe in 2007!

following are some pictures of chloe, one from each month since may. she has grown up so much. she can sit up on her own, she can crawl, she wakes me up in the morning by making "eh eh eh" sounds or with a "not very gentle" tapping (slapping?) on my face, she eats millet porridge and brown rice porridge with spinach/pumpkin/sweet potato/carrot ... and many many more. my little chloe can do a lot of things now ...

we waited for the caroling team till 10 plus, little chloe almost fell asleep, but i didnt let her to, why? bcos this is the first time our house having a x-mas caroling, i really didnt want her to miss it.

little chloe obviously enjoyed the caroling very much ... and i can only use 4 chinese words to describe her expression - 目瞪口呆!

by the way, i think she looked super cute in that santa's hat!!

The Stacks Of Books

-

nowadays, between work and little chloe, there is no time to do anything else. there are these stacks of books on my bedside table remains untouched due to the fact that I can never find the time to read or will always doze off after reading a few pages. (excuse? uh, ya ...) i only put books that i really want to read on the stacks, really. i currently have around 15 books stacked there, there are 5 with bookmarks in them. i m either too busy or too tire to read. (excuse again? eh hem ...) ok la ok la, i think it is a sign of laziness. my goal now is to finish reading all of them by chinese new year. (like real ...)

Yeah ... Finally ...

Grace, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give up!! Keep up your hardwork!!

She Is 7 Months Old!

Money & You

上了3天两夜的Money & You，学到了很多很多。

~

我和我积木小组的组员所分享的是：

我很感恩，从小到大，因为家庭环境还过得去，所以我一直都是个蛮幸运的人。我有爱我的父母，感情很要好的妹妹，疼爱我的先生，一个很可爱的女儿，以及很多很要好的朋友。虽然一路走来都很幸运，可是我从不觉得幸福是理所当然的。我相信，生命中所有的幸福都是神所赐予的礼物。因此，我特别特别感恩，特别感谢神所给予我的一切一切。我有一份收入还算不错的职业。因为钱得来比较容易，让我对金钱很没有观念，很不懂得理财。也因为一路走来都很平坦，因此我也变得很没有推动力，没有毅力，很懒散，没有上进心，一直躲在自己的comfort zone里头日复一日，年复一年的生活。我觉得，过去的30年，我都在浑浑噩噩的过日子，没有好好规划我的将来，更没有将梦想付诸行动。我竟白白的浪费了这许多年。

对于负责任，我想要说的是，从这一刻开始，我愿意承担起一切我应该负的责任，不要再给自己找借口。这些责任包括了对上帝的责任，对父母亲的责任，为人妻子及母亲的责任，以及对于我自己的责任。因为我不希望，未来的十年，我活得与过去十年没两样。为了得到不一样的结果，我想，我现在有需要作出改变。

上完课，我所做的第一件事情是传了一则简讯给老公，内容如下：hubby, i love you and chloe very very much. (注：老公一点反应也没有，所以我觉得他也很需要上课。)

第二件事，回到家中，妈咪问，“缴了S$1750的学费，你学到了什么？”我给了她一个拥抱说，“妈咪，我学会了爱就要说出口。”

第三件事，我抱起小小聿恩跟她说，“宝贝，妈咪好爱好爱你喔！”

道理，人人都懂，可是，能真正做到的，能有几人？上了Money & You, 我学习到了，要让爱你以及你所爱的人知道你爱他们；有什么事，想到了就要立即去做，不要给自己太多借口，因人生只有一次。

我衷心感谢林伟贤老师，Jason老师以及李海峰老师 这三天以来无私的付出与教导。我真的觉得，每个人一生中，至少应该上一次Money & You!

决定

过去两个星期心情的起伏及思维的转变非常非常地大！我所做的其中一个决定是，我将会在一月份搬回老公的家，再次接受挑战与长辈同住。而且，我们还决定将买房子的计划押后一些些，因为老公想多花一年的时间，在家中陪伴母亲。原本听到他这个决定时，我非常非常的愤怒。气他为什么完全不考虑我的感受与委屈，也气他完全不尊重我们共同讨论所作的决定。发完脾气后，祷告，没用，还是一样气！可是这时候，耳边响起了亲子系列CD 里冯志美冯姐的话... 冯姐说，上帝的旨意是，我们应当敬重，跟随及服从我们的丈夫，当我们依照上帝的话语，听从我们丈夫的决定时，意味着我们将这事交到上帝的手中，而上帝必会给你最适当的安排。想到这里，我的心渐渐平静了下来。我想是的，我应当尊重老公的决定。他不是不爱护我，而是当他处于左右为难的情况时，作为妻子的，应当支持他，而不是为难他。我爱他，所以我选择跟随他的决定。想到这里，我的心变得很平静，没有浮躁与不安。这跟以往我一想到要回到那个家的心情是截然不同的。就好像我已经将这件事从我的肩上卸下，交到上帝与丈夫的手中，而我坚信他们会给予我最妥善的安排。

于是，我传了一则简讯给老公。“dear hubby, i m sorry that you are again caught in between. God has spoken to me just now, god told me to follow your decision, so no matter what you decision is, i will respect you, 'cos i know you will definitely give me a great home when u r ready. i m still learning to follow god's teaching, so pls forgive me for losing my temper. i m your wife, if i dont support u, who will?”

不骗你... 这事发生在25/11/07, 11.20pm... 从发出简讯的那一刻开始，直到现在，我的心再也不被这件事所困扰。这种感觉是很奇妙的，我心中的大石，终于放了下来。
