i hope this would be a v meaningful gift...

thank u all who have helped me out with it =)

Girls' nite 2

Since it was public holiday the next day, asked M.A.C to come over once again for some fun this time... since the last time they were "working" instead of playing.

darkchoki came over earlier and we went for some grocery shopping... with in mind baking a brownie for our sinful tub of B&J.

menu of hte evening: the famous salad once again, satay, nachos with dips, mashed potatoes, sparkling grape juice, the "chao ta" brownie. Another v satisfying meal. =)

Fun of the night was the "chopping" of the super hard rock-like brownie.. and dry swimming...

these 2 buddies of mine bring more laughter and joy into the house =)

Not forgetting my cousin KY who joined in as well ^.^

Visitors

Been having a lot of visitors at home...

Mostly daddy's colleagues.. his bosses and staff... like mummy said, daddy muz have been a good boss to many even though he can be quite sacrastic at times =p so many people came to visit and all brought v nice fruits and organic stuff. Thank u so much everyone!

Daddy is always happier and more alert when people come visit. But, it pains me when he sees them leave. I can always see tears in his eyes, telling people hoping to see them again.

Dear Lord Jesus, please grant my daddy strength and courage throught this tough tribulation. May you shower peace and comfort upon him. Keep him in your safe and loving arms.

1st MIRACLE !

Praise the Lord !

Our 1st miracle happend during service at Lighthouse last nite!

Due to the numerous rounds of radiation and chemo, daddy actually lost his hearing in his left ear. And according to the ENT doctor, it is permanent damage.

But yes... our Lord has answered our prayers and started performing miracles on our family =)
Daddy told us while a gospelight was talking to him, he thought he could suddenly hear more clearly. But wasn't too sure. After service was over, we went for our late dinner. While i wnet to collect the car, he asked mummy to speak to him on his left. Alas! He could hear ! Our Lord is so almighty and Great ! I even tried whispering to him on his left and he could hear me !!! OMG! How powerful our Lord is ! Our divine healer !

Praise the Lord!

Comfort

Sincere thanks to our neighbours who constantly keep us in prayers and come over for fellowship and bible study.

brings more life and joy to our home. daddy has been enjoying the worship songs thus far. not very difficult to catch as the tunes are familiar old canto songs, of course with a change in beautiful lyrics. even i have caught some tunes =)

daddy has been feeling some aches in his body. all i can do is help massage his back and hoping that he feels more comfortable with each touch.

Girls' nite 1

My 2 besties came over this afternoon/evening...

Had a mini party for dinner with our famous and all time-fav salad with homemade dressing, curry chicky with bread (courtesy of A's mum), sushi, nachos with salsa dip, root bear. A meal which we all enjoyed.

Their presence was a comfort and a joy to have. Got some help from the artistic ones to start me off my scarp booking... hehe...

Many friends i do have... but how many can understand and stand by u in times of need? Really, both of you are more than enough.. thank u my dears =)

East coast park

this morning, we woke up early in the anticipation of enjoying the sea breeze and a short walk.

daddy couldn't walk much again. we just stood around, enjoyed the view, enjoy the sights of happy families playing with water/sand/cycling/blading/jogging...

out came my SLR again.. trying to capture special moments.

met a few people in ECP... dad's colleagues, mum's colleague, their qi gong friends. (i wonder if my friends were all asleep... i didn't meet anyone.. haha)

had a macdonald's breaky... where i shared my hotcakes with daddy =)

1st week after the news

Have been trying to get off work as early as i could.

Couldn't really put my heart to work as a result... timeshit suffering... =(

Still allowing reality to sink in...

Baptism

A very meaningful day.

Daddy got baptised @ Foo Chow Methodist Church this morning.

Amazed at the number of people who cared and came fwd to wish him well (church members whom we do not know v well) and also my mum's good friends and colleagues who came forth to witness the special moment with us.

Praise God for all the blessings that we've received. May He continue to shower his protection upon us and his healing works.

Bollywood

brought daddy to this organic farm called bollywood which was launched by 1 of our professional netballer.. (forget her name =p)

he didn't walk that much but we managed to catch a glimpse of the whole place. I made use of the bday pressie daddy got me and went around taking photos, hoping to improve my photography skills. hehehe...

just felt that the place wasn't really v organised.. but maybe that's what u call nature...

Mircale healing service

Last nite, we went the Lighthouse Tampines for the 1st time for the miracle healing service. We ent in a troupe.. (daddy, mummy, me, cousin KY, Aunty 6 & 9 and Aunty Sio)

Made arrangements with Celine's sister, Joanne and we got pretty good seats. (thanks alot Joanne!)

It was service per norm ending with a miracle healing session led by senior pastor Rony Tan. WAtching the miracles God performed in His healing centres, i really believe miracles do exist as long as there's faith. I prayed that our Lord will be merciful and gracious to land extend his healing powers over daddy.

I have found my trust in the Lord again. May he bless us with courage and strength.

Heart breaking

this morning, daddy has finally told me the news.

the chemo is no longer working for him. the cancer cells have spread further. the new oncologist said to stop chemo and arrange for pallative care.

i broke down and cried... i cried so hard... i dun remember since when i've cried this way.

i couldn't believe what i was hearing... i hugged daddy so hard... i didn't want to let him go...

i was lost...

Not quite right...

I just had the feeling that something was not right.

Something was going on.. and i have not been told the news yet...

Feeling very uneasy... wondering what's wrong...
