HUSBAND ASKS: WHY SO HEARTLESS?
The Mercedes driver, who is believed to be around 20 years old, allegedly shouted vulgarities, and he insisted on being compensated even as the BMW driver, Madam Lee Bee Hua, 56, was being carried on a stretcher into an ambulance.

Later, at the hospital, Madam Lee's family was informed that she had suffered a stroke, and had a brain haemorrhage.

Madam Lee was admitted to the intensive care unit. But she never regained consciousness and died on 6 May.

Mr Wee added: 'No matter what caused the accident, my wife didn't deserve to be treated that way... His behaviour was barbaric and heartless. He showed absolutely no compassion.'

How hard it is to show grace, especially when this even stirs up rage in people with absolutely no relations to the party. What more the family of the victim? Tsk tsk, I hope I did delivered my message about "Grace" well to my RVPS kids. That said, is this avoidable, when nature commands (may I say,) carnal penchant towards vindication?

Shakespeare's.
I tear the script out of its stage.
Rude am I in my speech,
And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace.
-Othello, 1. 3

my heart's one desire is to be holy,
set apart for You Lord


Teaching at River Valley Primary School is very fulfilling and I enjoy work a lot, even though I could be earning much more working somewhere else. Honestly, I'd rather work my ___ out for something I enjoy. (Which in itself is an irony, go figure.) I love my kids :D

On the topic of "my" kids, it is impossible to love something you don't take ownership of. The inertia of a love commitment is a ownership. In another context, I should apply this theory too.

Anyway, here are some snapshots of the P2's Speech & Drama Rehearsals. Gah, they make me crazy seriously, in a good way! Love love love :D (I can memorize their play now and my sister gets annoyed when I recite them over again, wahaha!) Feast your eyes on these superdupertinklewinkledubblybubblycutieputieteenyweeny children :D









"Pulling weeds, Pulling weeds!"

"Raking leaves, Raking leaves!"

"This weed is hard to pull out!"

"Let's help, everybody!"
"Okay!"


"1, 2, 3, Pull!"
"1, 2, 3, Pull!"


"1, 2, 3, Pull! Ahhhhhhhh!"

"Gardening is hard work, isnt it?"

Haha, if only I had more photos, I'll recite the whole skit to you too. In fact, I was so tempted to do so just typing the snippets of what the photos captured. The voice of 2H chanting "Pulling weeds, Raking Leaves, Cutting grass" resounds melodiously in my head. So lovable, please?

youtube.com is taking way long to upload a video of my rahrahrahcute kids. I dont think I have time to wait for it to be done so I can put it here. Tragic!

I feel like going on and on repeating that I really love my kids in retrospect, but its so pointless. Anyway.

Ohyes, I killed a lizard in an estimated record time of 45mins. Record time, because I've never killed a lizard. I think Rachel (Teo) is going to flip if she sees this, haha! I didn't know how to remove it from the house, so dad did it. He left it outside, along the walkway, which is really silly. So its still there now, cause no one clears the walkway since we're supposed to have moved out already. Rah, I witness the process of decomposition daily. Day 8 now, yuck.






I gotta run now, am leaving to fulfill a certain internal family duty. Goodbye people in computerland! :D

though my heart is torn,
i'll praise You in the storm


Dear God,
What is happening?
I am so frustrated with all these thoughts and emotions after so long.
How did we end up here?
Where are we heading now?
I want to go back.
I dont like it here.
But let me submit to Your will, and let me love Your ways.
And though my heart is torn, I will praise You in this storm.

Unnecessary trouble is, well, unnecessary.
So I will avoid it.

What follows is my entitlement to personal opinion.
http://english.watv.org/ -> is just ridiculous.
Seriously, mother god? No way.

purify my heart,
touch me with Your cleansing fire


I wonder if I am really sick and tired enough to say, "That's it!". I very much want to exclaim it desperately, but not knowing how I would go about the consequences prevents me from doing so. Its not as simple as taking one-step-at-a-time.

That's it!

so i'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
this life to declare Your promise
my soul now to stand


Mood; [noun]
Temporary state of mind or feeling.

Affectivity is spontaneous, so often correlated to peripheral occurrences. In fact, I would say 'undoubtedly correlated', speaking as one undergone. The mortifying theory is frustrating and leaves Man unsure of who they really are.

And also, the onus of not being who we should be.

That said, a dose of felicitous recollection does no harm to the tottering senses. I besiege you to feast your eyes.






























The Bible says that where our heart is, our treasure is. If our hearts are subjected to the environment, would we want to let God take control instead?

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
