Phoebs Up

It’s been a very very busy few months. I had my mom and relatives over, planned for easter and was just told a few days prior to the event that i would be in charge of a section at the bazaar.

Que: " How are Women made to handle stress?"
Ans: " We take it and multi-task" (occasionally taking it out on our lovely husbands

Thus resulting in my now semi-flu-sleeping-till-the-sun-hits-my-hide- days.

Having mom here felt like the good ole days where she would be frantically cleaning away and me stressing over her fussing still i love her:)

More importantly was our 2hour heart to heart one night. We teared and laughed as we spoke about Mama’s last days , discussed about my sis’s big day (still not siding with anyone :P) Perhaps it was the stillness in the night or have i grown older, she softer or me the better listener, it seemed like we could contact on a level that i never felt before. And i liked that. It reminded me how vulnerable she is despite her strong image.

We prayed with her before she left and i asked her if now was the time to accept HIM. She said soon but not now. I pray that with patience, endurance and HIS timing that she will accept HIM.

As she stood waiting for the bus to leave, tears started to roll down her beautiful face. I had told Ting that i would be strong and that i would not cry, but i started too as the bus started to roll away so did my tears. Sad and yet i felt ironic in knowing this is all part of growing up.

Having my aunts and uncles here felt like home. Waking up to a house full of noise and laughter. Late night drinking with  my uncle, sharing stories with my aunties made me happy. Yet honestly having one’s home back really is great!! David and myself celebrated by not doing anything for 2 whole days…ha ha …but truly we do enjoy having company.

Chok Yew came too. I felt bad that  i could only invite her for dinner one day. Sorry gal , next time we can spend more time.

Moo is coming!!!!Yippee can’t wait to house her and get to know her friend

Josh ,Cin and Lorreign will be coming end of April, we are thinking of going somewhere with them .

We also went to Kyoto- it is thee most beautiful place i’ve ever been in japan. There is something about post Edo period in japan and the sakura’s just filled the place making it seem even more heavenly. Wished we had more time to visit more. Next time perhaps.

Tomorrow will be the Event. I shall start my day at 6am and pray (pray with me) that all will go well. That the volcanoes on my face (read pimples) will subside.

I truly apologize for not writing earlier and will try to write more after this last hectic week. And through it all i can only say that God and David had really helped me and pray they will continue to do so. Love you both.

"I can do all in Him that Strengthens.."

PS: i felt encouraged by a message from someone who than i had left an impression on him and his family thanks.
