Indeed it is My life My story

I read this somewhere and it spoke to my heart. Indeed it is MY life, My story. I need to learn from this mummy!

"Today I am learning to embrace the life God has planned for me. Yes, I have moments where I wish, and I compare. But then I take a moment to step back and look where God has me right now. Right now I am a homeschooling mom of three who writes in her “spare” time. Would I love to speak and go on fancy business trips? Sure, that is what my flesh desires! But my heart desires God’s will for my life and right now it is His call for me to be right here."

God help me to believe in myself and this choice that I have made, to be a stayhome mum for this season. Thank u so much for teaching me to make time to create beautiful memories intentionally. I learn to embrace this awesome season of my life now!!! I don't want to live in regrets and I want to live my life victoriously and statisfed with my own progress and goals achieved. No story will ever be the same...,. I don't need to compare because we are all different and unique!

Spending one to one time with Princess Venecia

I was kind of 'forced' to stay home with my second daughter recently. This intensive one week with Princess Venecia was actually quite fun and has indeed taught me to be more patient with her ability to overcome fear. One incident that striked me significantly was at IMM playgound. I was bored after spending 20 minutes watching her. She refused to try the higher slide despite of my coaxing. I wanted to leave after seeing all the younder children seem to be more adventurous. Suddenly she just ventured into the higher grounds just like that! I would have missed this if I insisted leaving and denied her the opportunity to overcome her fear. Later after that incident, we went to Daiso for lesiure shopping. As usual, I encouraged her to pay for her item and surprsingly, she did it with obvious brimming pride!

WOW!!! I'm so proud of her, yes it may seems so insignificant in many mummies eyes, BUT this mummy is so PROUD OF HER ACHIEVEMENT!!! This period of bonding defintely pays off, I see a more confident and cheerful PRINCESS ready to venture out of her comfort zone!

Hang in there.... Mummy

I have been trying to stay above the water lately...... Sometimes I can't help it but feel this constant pull by my circumstances. I can't keep my head above the water level. HELP!!!! Every part of me wants to quit!!!! This homemaker job is getting ever more challenging, more mundane than ever and less appreciated. I doubt I have much motivation except my faith that keeps me going. Many friends, cousins and relatives never expect this rambutious, extrovert and Career minded Meiling would ended up a homemaker. I played soccer, hockey, basketball anything that has sun around.... I'm there. I'm famous for not staying at home especially during my holidays.... Now I'm stucked at home most of the time, talking to children day in and day out. Adult and intellectually stimulating conversation is rare now.

During my school days, i studied really hard for my grades to enter university, especially in a private school. Then I worked hard for my distinictions during my Bsc and postgraduate so that I could get a good job.... Hee hee but I ended a job that requires no resume but requires someone with high EQ, tons of patience, love, organizational and culinary skills, and delayed gratification. I muz admit that I run super low in all these qualities! I don't have a degree in homemaking!!! How do I excel in this????? I'm not a meticulous person but someone very vivacious and outdoor. I love the sun, I love to meet people, I love to talk, I love to buy my own things...... This homemaking job does not fit me at all......


There is a season for eveything. I know this is the wisest choice for me NOW!!!! I'm willing to learn, to juggle with this complicated role that requires multiple skills. I'm improving my cooking skills... I'm learning how to be a tutor, a taxi driver that is on time, a domestic cleaner that is more meticulous, a grocery shopper that knows where to get the cheap and fresh food......,I know I can!!! I need to keep on trying n never give up. My feelings tell me otherwise at times but I'm trying my best not to be controlled by my feelings.. My God is a big God, He is
teaching me something here......My lord...... Give me the stength to hang in there!Change my mindset about being overwhelmed by 3 children.

Disneyland HONGKONG Dec 2010

I must first thank my dear hubby who made this memorable trip possible, first monetary and most importantly, he had a great attitude towards all the stress that we faced during this trip! I guess I just DO it when it comes to this trip and I never really want to anticipate all the huge stress involved. Denial........If my hubby had not been so patient with all the hiccups, whinnings, carrying our toddlers, sheer exhaustion...... I believe this trip would not turn out as FUN as it could be. Not many men do it, u surpass it ALL !!!

HOWEVER, We STILL had an AWESOME time despite of all the fatigue and frustration. We this created a great memory not only for our dear children, and my in-laws BUT also ourselves!! I'm sure we will look back and marvel at our BRAVERY for bring 3 children to 2 AMUSEMENT parks!! Hee hee how on earth did we manage to that!!!!! Praise the Lord for this wonderful trip!!
