Church of The Holy Cross Feast Day

The church had our feast day on 13 September and mass was celebrated by the VIP of the day - Archbishop Nicholas Chia. Lunch was a simple affair and Jason won the top prize of the lucky draw. How nice!

The second big event in September was the ROM of sis and Kenneth. This came as a surprise cos they didn't get together for long and also I was beginning to accept that sis may never get married. She's too independent and in my opinion, loves her own way of living too much. Any disruption would have been frowned upon. But surprise, surprise! She found the man she wanna be with and they tied the knot on 12 September 2009.

Congrats & have a blissful marriage!

Baby Dallen's Baptism

September has been a whirlwind of activities. There were events to attend every weekend and it seemed like the baby's arrival was timed nicely so that I can finish my confinement in time and be at these events. Besides the lack of time, I've also been too lazy to blog. I shall start with Dallen's baptism first.

Baby Dallen was baptised as Ignatius on 6 September. It was a small affair and was attended by my in-laws and some close friends. I was glad to have been able to make it for this round of baptism cos hubby might not be around for the next one and if we hadn't been able to make it for this one, then we'll have to baptise Dallen next year. Somehow, I feel more at ease knowing that he's baptised and didn't want to delay it that much.

Now that we have integrated him into God's family, I pray for wisdom and strength to bring him up as God intended. The journey thus far hasn't been easy but it was mainly physical hardships. As the child grows older, we'll have to instill values and principles in him and that will be the tricky part. How does one know when to hold the rein tighter and when to let go just that little bit? There is no tangible measure for that and the wrong amount can mould him wrongly and lead to consequences that will follow him for life. As parents, we'll always want the best for him; but is 'best' really the best? Anyway, we'll have to take it one step at a time.

Welcome to the family, Baby!

爱，并不难。。 只要两人拥有共同的方向，执著，信念，信任，沟通，尊敬，再加上能够对彼此施于体谅，包容，理解，耐心，关心，与及不时的给对方应有的安全感，归属感和私人空间。当然，两人都别忘了彼此早期所定下的承诺。时代会变，人会变，样貌会变，体型会变，生活会变，但心不会。。。心只会死掉
