My Little Victory Bringer
Praise the Lord! Our much awaited little girl, Bernice Chia has safely arrived on Feb 16 at 9.30am. My water bag broke around 4.00 am that day and within an hour, Chung Bor and myself arrived Columbia Asia Hospital (Puchong). By 5.30 am, I was warded in the Labour Room, being strapped on the belt for the contraction stress test, I was already dilated 3cm. At 7.00 am, I was put on the "oxytocin drip" (supposedly to assist to full dilation) and after 1.5 hours, I began to experience the active labour for about half an hour. And Bernice was delivered the next half an hour.
According to the nurse, they didn't expect my baby to arrive that soon as I was only on the drip for 1.5 hour. Thank God, my gynae's private clinic is just 3 mins away from the hospital. And this time, I managed to deliver Bernice without episiotomy and unlike the previous 3 labours, I do not experience any kind of pain or soreness after the labour. Even till today, I do not need to take any pain killer nor having any constipation difficulties.
Another great testimony was that while I was still waiting for my breast milk to come after the first 4 days, our whole family began to pray about it that night. And amazingly, my milk started to flow in the next day and had an engorgement the whole day. Despite of the pain and discomfort, I praise the Lord for his miracle hands upon me.
Obviously all these are possible due to the constant prayers from my homefellowship members. They never failed to pray for me each time we meet every Friday evening. Truly Bernice is our "Victory Bringer". Her arrival is truly a great testimony as in 1 Kings 8:56 "There has not failed one word of all His good promise".

Bellies....
This morning while feeding my 3 older children on their daily supplements (Scotts Emulsion and Kiddi Pharmaton), my second princess (Charlene) popped a question regarding my expanded belly.
"Mommmy, why is your belly so big?", asked Charlene with a curious look.
"Darling, this is called a "joy belly", I replied with a smile.
"What is a "joy belly"?, added Charlene with more curious look.
"Well, mommy got this belly as a result of the birth of your little sister, Bernice. Isn't it a joy?"
"Yes", replied Charlene with a joyful look.
"But, Charlene, sometimes some uncles or aunties with big belly can be called a "pot belly" because it was due to lack of exercise and unbalanced diets." as I carefully explained to my little girl.
"Oh, just like Uncle Tony and Uncle David from our homefellowship", responded Charlene as she chuckles with a laugh....
It's definitely a joy to have such an informative and fun way of communicating with my little ones. This has certainly helps in creating a closer bonding and yet they are learning so much each day. I am for sure proud that I am their main educator and am able to teach them new things in little ways as I can each day.
This is similar to the process of farming: planting the seeds of love and nurturing with patience on my children and with faith of the Lord, I am able to harvest the fruit of my labour i.e the day when all my children have fully grown to be and walk in the ways of the Lord.
Just like in the Bible verse, Mark 4:26-29 says.."First the blade, then the head, after that the full grain...The harvest has come."
In the meanwhile, I am still sharpening my blade, to cultivate their spiritual interest, pray for them and wait for the harvest!

Give Thanks...
As I was typing away on my PC while listening to one of my favourite Christian song, "Give Thanks", it prompted in my heart to daily give thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ not only all the goodness but also downtime throughout my life. Well, the downtime is part of the learning phase so that I will not repeat the mistake in future and most importantly to strengthen my faith in Him.
Give thanks to His endless love and mercy..for the weak shall say I am strong and the poor shall say I am rich because of what the Lord has done for us...Give Thanks!

Holiday Breaks
"Tis is the season to be jolly"...indeed I love the month of Dec the best. Not only my birthday falls on this month but also as family, we spent most time to be together especially when hubby is taking lots of breaks from office. The children are particulary very thrilled to have daddy at home most of the time...nothing beats that.
Lately had a family who are facing some family crisis, it really breaks my heart to see a once "perfect" family to be fallen into such state. Both parents are considering the separation path and it aches me to see their children have to bear the brunt as a result of their decision.
Life is not perfect, we should know that. Before committing into marriage, one should have given a serious thought of not only happiness but also "sorrow" in a marriage. It should not be just a matter of heart business but also mind matters. Once a friend told me that marriage is just like an investment, yes I do agree to certain extent. Except in investment, if crisis hits, we only lose the money. However in a family life, it destroys the hope of the children, spouses, friends, relatives and everything that was promised during the solemnization ceremony.
It's not easy to understand each one's marriage difficulties but only one thing I am sure is that we need to know why we want to commit and spend our life together with the same person for the next 50 years? Let's ponder over the question seriously before taking the plunge in accepting the proposal. It's definitely worth giving a thought on this.
As for me, I know for sure whether life ahead is rough or difficult, my hubby and myself will stick with one another no matter what. This is because of our deep understanding and mutual trust that we have built over years and I can confidently assured that I will always have someone beside who constantly care and love me forever till death do us apart.

New Addition
It's been almost a month since my last post. Yeah, busy with children, housechores, home tuition...etc etc...But really, the real reason behind is that I am actually expecting my fourth child. What! Can't have enough of little ones whimpering, crying and sometimes putting out cheeky faces to cheer you up?
Honestly, this pregnancy is certainly an unplanned one. Thought should be focusing on my 3 older kids, after all, they are almost reaching schooling age, I should be preparing myself for the next stage of motherhood, not "reversing" my position to square one again.
But God has a greater plan. He knows best. Even though I might or never know why I am conceived again, nevertheless just knowing this is a gift from Him is already a blessing to me. Sure, I have to endure the nauseatic symptom, gaining weight and lack of rest, but I am sure this little sacrifice is worthwhile in nurturing God's little treasure that He has place in my womb.
Hence, I really look forward for his arrival next year March and I definitely can assure you the delightful looks on my children upon learning that they are going to have another sibling. Not to mention my hubby...guess that's a bonus joy added to my family.
So, presently, I have to start digging out all my baby books, magazines and surfing net to refresh my memories in taking care during pregnancy...which reminds me to also start collecting back all my maternity apparels and baby stuff from friends again. Now, whom did I leave my baby blanket with??

Self Contentment..
With a recent price hike in fuel and other necessities food items, one can't help to feel dejected and depressed in facing the forthcoming difficult times ahead. Especially for low income earner, this is much felt intensely coupled with many small mouths to feed.
Gone were the days where during our forefather days where everyone is enjoying some luxuries and everyone is talking about quality life. Is it still possible to talk about quality of life when the mind is obsessed in generating more revenue to let our family still live comfortably?
I have always dreamt of making big, have a sucessful career with perfect family life driving luxurious cars and staying in high class residential areas. Hence it was really a big and non expected decision that I have made to give up everything to stay home for my children. Really, looking back, I have not a single regrets on the decision made 4 years ago and how blessed am I to have the priviledge to be with my children 24 hours a day, 30 days a month, 12 months a year and for as long as my children needed me.
Despite I have occassionally struggled my innermost desire to earn a career with my children, but when I cast upon to God, it is a very clearly defined fact that nothing can buy back the loss time when you do not think wisely. Afterall, everyone had their childhood once but how many can proudly boast that childhood is their most memorable and sweetest memories??
Hence I have learnt to be self contented with what God has provided in hope that my "sacrifice" is worth for my children to boast to their friends one day that these are the days that they valued the most.
