Yesterday's sermon is family-centric, about how to empathise with child's feelings and be in touch with their feelings just like how Jesus is in touch with Mary's feelings when she told him that Lazarus died. Although He knew that He will be bringing him back to life, He still wept. He could have just told Mary: "Now Mary, dun be despair, nothing to cry about pls! Watch me! Lazarus cometh forth!" Like some parents would react to their children's cries. Some may say " dun be a crybaby! it's just a small cut". To them, it's probably their first cut and with that response from mummy or daddy, well, your child may run to another person who seems to care more.

The special item is indeed special to me. It's a song called "Your Grace Still Amazes me" by Philip Craig and Dean. It's my 1st march in song on my wedding! Love the lyrics and music.

My faithful Father, enduring Friend
Your tender mercy’s like a river with no end
It overwhelms me, covers my sin
Each time I come into Your presence
I stand in wonder once again

CHORUS:
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
Your grace still amazes me
‘Cause Your grace still amazes me


Oh, patient Saviour,
You make me whole
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul
What can I give You, Lord, what can I say
I know there’s no way to repay You
Only to offer You my praise


It’s deeper, it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher
It’s deeper it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher
than anything my eyes can see

Monday again and i don't really feel like working. heh heh...Gh is flying off to Vietnam and US for his 1.5 week long biz trip in a few hours time. *sigh* and after he is back for a few days, he will fly to beijing again for another week. His travelling schedule is inevitable and so if he stays on this job, i'll have to learn to be more independent. :/ I hope he has a great time in Orlando Disneyland and Coach Boutique! hehehe...

He hates travelling too though many are eyeing for his position to be able to travel and rub shoulders with the management folks from all over. He asked me if he lacks ambition and i told him he's just the more family oriented man. But I also want him to know that he is someone who somehow by the grace of God is favoured by his boss wherever he goes and highly esteemed by them. Also, i always think he really has the substance and capabilty in his job and a talent in the market (I said these for a reason). Someone who is able to get his priorities right (that is God first, family and then career).

I have a blessed family (together with bb coming along the way). Jesus loves me this I know......

11 weeks and no obvious tummy :)

I'm in my 11th week into pregnancy, i'm not the accurate type but my gynae told me i'm 10.5 weeks on my Mon visit so i guess i'm 11 plus weeks now. :P No obvious tummy as yet except those times when i stuff myself with food and so full till the tummy shows. Did the 2nd scan during my visit and as i thought bb is still bean sized with no definite shape, i saw to my amazement bb's head, hands, body and legs!!! No obvious tummy but bb has grew so nicely! bb is 37mm. i'm excited to see my tummy growing bigger because it means bb is growing too!

I've specifically asked my gynae if i can eat anything I want and if there is any food i shoud not have. He gave me the "well you can eat anything, just follow what your body tells you to" I was happy! But still i know gh still prefers for me not to have some food so i just submit.

We had a great time at Ah Mei's concert yesterday and she is awesome! When it started, and she started to sing the familiar slow classics, I almost teared and I dunno why, prob I nv tot i will have any idol but at that moment, i just felt "Wah! my idol singing my fav songs..so touched!" Maybe I really could feel how she would have felt having a stadium full of people cheering for her after all these years of hard work. I once wished I can be a singer as successful as her and a singer with substance but seems like God prefers for me to be a great wife and mummy to be. :P I admire singers who can really sing, as in they do not lip sync during concerts..hehe..She delivered all her classics so nicely and professionally. She didn't have any special guest because she simply have too many nice songs to cover in such a short time. Everyone was high at her concert and it was full house! This is my first concert and i am glad it's hers! Woo Hoo! I almost forgotten I was pregnant and sang my hearts and lungs out until i felt some discomfort in my tummy at the later part when i sang loudly. hehe....

Alright time for the good wife to go meet her hubby and go back hm together. I'm a happy wifey! :)

Some things i experienced during these few weeks of pregnancy:

- No pineapples/watermelons and those supposedly "cool" fruits.
I accicentally had 2 bites on a pineapple tart which a colleague brought back from Taiwan and was stopped after the 2nd bite by gh. I was angry cos it's a nice tart but submitted.
My reaction when stopped: "I'm going to ask Dr Gordon if i can eat pineapple tarts during pregnancy on my next visit! hmmp!"

- No heels
I kept telling my colleagues i have no variety of shoes to choose from since i can only wear flats and so have to keep wearing the same 1 or 2 pairs that i have.

- A little bump that becomes obvious after lunch
Not that i ate a lot for lunch but after my meals, tummy just sticks out and while walking past colleagues, they will comment: "wah come out already! can see it's very obvious now!"

- I get my PA
At work, colleague starts to ask:" u want milo, i make for you, come eat more" :P
At home, to gh: "dear can help me fetch a cup of water?, dear no water can go boil some?, dear, wanna eat bread, can go buy?" kekeke...

- Drink my almost daily dose of green apple carrot juice

- Choosy on food. (not much appetite - praying against this in Jesus Name!)

- Sleepy more often at work (esp after lunch - pray against this in Jesus Name!)

Generally the experience is still good just little things here and there that makes me feel i can't enjoy it as much.
