Praise The Lord God is good.We had a short but wonderful holiday to Perth on the 5th Oct to the 9th Oct.We give thanks to our God for the safe journeys as we go safely and come back safely.Thanks to my children Adam Andrew and Elaine for organizing this holiday and my Daughters in  laws Kelly and Kimberley for their support. and not forgetting Ricky who agreed to come also even though its tough for him to travel.Its a memorable holiday because we are with our Grandson David with us travelling.At the same time it was to attend my sister.Lai Neo'son Dylan's wedding on the 6th of Oct.It was a beautiful wedding of Dylan and Emily held at St Georges Cathedral.We enjoyed our time at King's Park and David had fun n exercise with his friend Titus who is Kimberley's friend's son.Most of my sisters were there as they Kim and Chin, Geok and Chon.Nancy and Cheng Hai'Kim Chye and Siew Yen,Lilian and Beng all flew in for the wedding.Thanks to God our Father for the travels for each of our family members who have returned safely to their respective homes.This holiday will be unforgettable as i treasure this lovely time with my children and grandson more than the wedding.I consider this as our family trip  even though for 5 days but i enjoyed every moment of our time together.We had the famous Grandlane Fish and Chips and the one in Fremantle
Cisrellos (hope the name is right)just as good but tastes different.
The wedding dinner was held at The Quarry a unique place said to be the in place for concerts and it looks like a arena with seats cut out from the ground and you can sit there.It was really cold as the evening goes later and i was shivering so i know now why Neo keep on saying that we must bring something warm.Not forgetting the place we stayed named Mantra On Hay thanks to Kimberley for booking this place for us---i love the place the rooms are comfortable and well equipped at the kitchen and nice sitting rooms.The area is near to transport to go anywhere as it is near a bus stop and shops as well.Ricky managed to cope with his difficulties of travelling and i can see he had a good time too and that at our age we can fly to overseas.Thank you Lord Jesus.God is good.

Soar like an eagle.

Today shows I have not been posting anything for more than two years.God is good all the time.Talking about time so fast time passes that I realized I have not been updating my blog.God is faithful all the time and He never changes He is the same yesterday today and forever.
We went to church as usual every Sunday.Andrew,Kimberley and David didn't come back this weekend.Pas James shared from the book of Isaiah last week and today he touched on it again.Pastor continued and shared about the eagle that can live up to 70 years wow that's something new to me.The fact that when it gets old the eagles renew themselves in such a way its like being young and strong again.The old and weak eagle will go to the mountain top and break its beak and wait till a new beak grows and after that it pecks off its old claws and wait for new ones to grow and with the new claws it will pull away its old feathers and wait for new ones to grow...realize all that requires waiting and waiting but all that waiting brings results that gives the eagle an additional ability to live another 30 years!This tells of how important it is for us to wait in the promises of God for we will be renewed in the Presence of God and we will have the strength of an eagle and soar like an eagle.Amen.

Wow,my last posting was in January this year.Praise the Lord for His  Goodness and mercy.Last year my first Grandson David Matthias Tan Kah Rei was born on the19th of October 2015.What a joy he is to us both my husband and me.God  has blessed us both and also his parents my son Andrew and my Daughter in law Kimberley.Now David is 6 months old and has started teething already.He is a happy child who smiles and laughs so cutely he wins everyones heart.We just miss him when we are not with him.May God bless you and watch over you each day, David.
We are still trusting God for Adam and Kelly to have a baby soon.God is faithful and true to all His promises to us His children and He knows all our needs.He understands us even more than we do of ourselves.His plans are to prosper us and not to harm us.Thank you Father God.

Mother --Born-19 Nov 1921--9th June 2015.

It has been so long that i didnt write in my blog.As the title is Mother i will try to write about Mother or Nya2 as we call her.Mother went home to the Lord last year on June 9th 2015.Why did i take such a long time to write about it?I don't know.It breaks my heart each time i think of how much she suffered towards the end,the ulcer on her ankle was so bad,we prayed and asked for healing but due to the condition of her skin and fragility it was not possible.The only consolation i have is that God bore the pain for her and she did'nt have pain.Each time we go and see her we feel so helpless and try to find ways to relieve her if only we can.Mother,so many of your things are still in the cupboard and we see your empty bed even though you have been at the nursing home for about 4 years.Mother, in any way we have failed you please forgive us your children.We love and we miss you and when we pass by the nursing home our heart ache.Now you have joined Father together in heaven rejoicing in God's presence free from pain and suffering,God bless you Nyanya.

My birthday celebration.

I am now 63 years old.Wow time flies.I felt that i had recently celebrated my 50th birthday but then the 60's came and now i am 63.God is good all the time,He is a God who is faithful and true.My children had planned a short overnight trip outstation to celebrate my birthday,we had a good time as a family,all my children and daughters in laws and my daughter could make it for this trip.My husband  was in good shape and he loves when everyone is around.
I realize now that i must do the things that i have been putting off.Things like doing my beaded shoes with the beads which i have been keeping for so long,cloth which i have been buying when i could'nt resist buying thinking to sew into patchwork.I have wool and threads of many colors now which should i start first.I hope the next time i write in this blog i would have accomplished at least one project .
Now back to my birthday,my children gave me a lovely chain and a cross and a lovely bracelet,my hubby gave me a red packet and my daughter too.We had a dinner by the sea and watched the sun set,the quiet beach i could see in the distance with two fishermen casting their nets,wondering what their catch is,could be prawns or cockles.The food was good and we had a good fill and after that we had a walk at the park and watch children playing with soap bubbles and kites.Before that we dropped by a shopping center and my daughter in law bought a photo album and my daughter bought a pair of shoes.
We returned home the next day,all of them very tired but happy that everything went well and we are home safely,thanks to our God for everything.Amen.

Mother

Today as i look back at the past 2 years .Praise the Lord for His goodness and Glory.I can't but marvel at our God's hand upon my Mother.Mother is still with us inspite of having the Ryles tube attached to her nose for the past 2years plus.She survived two hospitalizations and came back safely and well.No doubt she gave us all  a scare,me and my sisters.If only the nurses will take good care of her and pay more attention to her.
This the second nursing home that she has stayed,we moved her from Loving Home to Esp Care Home thinking that it will be better for her.We always go and see her to make sure she is fine and that her milk and diapers don't run short.Mother does'nt respond to us always,only on rare occasions we will get a small sound in response from her when we talk to her in a loud voice. We know and trust your life is in God's hand dear Mother.All we can do is try to make your stay at the nursing home as comfortable and happy for you.I am already 62 years old and not that young,what is our future like when i am at your age or not only God knows.We recently celebrated Mothers Day with you at the nursing home,another year has gone by and we have you with us,praise the Lord.

A happy day

Hello Again,

A happy day begins with a happy attitude towards everything and a determination to succeed in it.I was thinking hard how to please that someone without upsetting things and i came to this conclusion that i must purposely set myself to do it but with God's help of course or else i would fail.Day one i achieved that and day two also but i nearly failed today,hope i can do it everyday so that all parties will be happy.How weak we are if we allow our feelings or emotions to get hold of us and lose our self control.The key to do it is to let love be in our hearts and not to belittle the other party even if you feel to let the words flow out with those sharps words that can bring down and not build up.How i wish that our actions can be understood and be an encouragement to someone who is a close to us.A phone call is a way to keep in touch but nothing beats the personal visit.Today an elderly relative phoned out of the blue but behind her words i could hear her need to want us to visit her.People need people, who does not?I love people to visit and likewise too.Love one another and the world will be a better place to live.Make others happy and the reward is you will be happy too.
