I choose to see my life as a series of celebrations - of life, with new births, of death, knowing my destiny in heaven, of what my child can do and not what he cannot do yet, of sacrifices and pains and treating each incident as a learning experience.

20th wedding anniversary
The date was set months ago but it was untimely as lc is busy at work and he had to attend a conference on june 1st morning. so i was left alone to check out of the hotel for the first time. It wasnt hard at all, just dropped off the key at an express check out box, no queue, wheel the trolley bag along the shops, which were all close, a very quiet and uneventful check out. got my google maps working and drove home in 15mins. regardless of any hotels, ots always good to be home, depsite the mess the kids left for me after their morning breakfast, or lizard shit, or the uncountable strands of hair on the floor left for me to vaccum, I poured muself a cup of soy milk, warmed up some toast, and admire the view right before my eyes at the dining table. Of course, i had to feed the turtles and gave my plants a splash before i took care of my needs. Its good to be home.
we stayed at MBS, spectacular room view of the sea, gardens by the bay, ships,high floor, nice comfy room. during the day of 31 may, we shopped at vivocity and bought a new pair of wedding bands at leehwah jewellery, with some little diamonds on it. Then we had dinner at thirty-three, well knowm for its brewery. I had fish and he had steak, pretty good but i developed a rash from the food allergy which i occasionally get from seafood, i suspect its the caviar. it started itching on my eye lids, then my groin areas. i couldnt wait to rush back to hotel to wash up. rash subsided by the time i hit the pillows, thank God for that, but still, unpleasant. we talked and prayed and thanked God for giving us 20 good years, pryaing for better 20 more years to come. it is by his grace, we are here where we are, kids at sec sch, in good schools, healthy and good looking, but yet a year much change will happen for the big boy, it all depends on his results, where he'll head next, what he wants to do for the rest of his life, career path he should start thinking of.
most of all, we pray for their spiritual well being, that they will find GOD where they are, hear God speak into their lives, know that God cares for them and loves them deeply. He has great plans for them, we anticipate with open hearts, just aksing God for wisdom to cease the opportunity to guide them when they need us.
