My Thoughts on 1 Peter 3

Recently, I stepped into a beauty salon for facial session since I had my girl. What a shock it was for the beautician when I told her that I had not had any facial since December 2006

"How could you neglect your skin?" her said. "We, woman should take good care of our skin as we aged faster after childbirth." she continued. I told her "It is OK, all these are not that essential to me." The beautician continued to emphasis on the important of up keeping ourselves. All the time, I kept telling her that it is not that important as there are things more important then up keeping our look. After the session, as usual they tried to persuade me into taking a package course with them. I really had to fight hard to temptation to say "NO". In the past, I will take up the package but now I will really consider properly before forking out a sum of money to "pamper" myself.

During the facial session, I got deep in thoughts of – Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or putting on of apparel. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1 Peter 3:3-4

Wearing of gold or plaiting of hair is not what God want from me. What God really wanted from me is to be a woman trusted in God and adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husband – 1 Peter 3:5. Not the harlot in Proverb 7

Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. Proverb 7:27

If I really signed up the package, then I would have fallen into Satan's trap. Why?

• Focusing on myself rather then God and my family;
  
• Putting pressure on our family finance;
  

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands Proverb 14:1

My husband was quite surprise when I told him that I did not sign up the package. He said "I thought you will sign up but anyway if you want to go for a facial session when ever you wanted to just go ahead but plan your time properly."

Wow, what a blessing! If I just signed the package without thinking, I guess the outcome would be "You knew that we are not doing that well and our daughter's term fee is due in a week time and you topped it up by signing for a facial package that cost over $1000!" "You got no brain to think is it?"

My problem mei mei - Sarah

My daddy & mummy discover my mei mei - Sarah got a tiny problem with both her eye since she was 1 year old. But her GP decide to wait till she is older before making a decision of sending her to the Ophthalmology.

After getting a referral letter from polyclinic. On Monday - 27 July 2009, they brought her to the Ophthalmology department in KKH. After a series of test - my mei mei Sarah was diagnose with Amblyopia, Astigmatism & Strabimus(Squints). Amblyopia & Astigmatism are not as serious as Strabimus as they can be cured externally wherelse Strabimus might required surgery when she is 7 years old.

Update photo of Me - Piston the Drooling King

I considered myself lucky... My mummy & daddy never gave me away when my mei mei was born... unlike some poor ones... once their mummy had a new baby, they forgot about having a elder one who used to be their best loved one.

Lucky for me, my mummy prefer me to my mei mei. She and mei mei never bond. Mei mei don't want mummy and mummy don't want mei mei...

Photo shot

Finally, Mummy manage to take a picture of me & sarah. But hor moments after this shot, my this naughty mei mei fell off the edges of this sponge bed. And mei mei ended up with bruises on her right eye and got cut by the tiles near her left eyebrow.

Once in a lifetime thing

Mummy said " The next time we get to see thing Giant will be duno when..." And it is true... the next time Mummy get to see it again... maybe I might be gone already. according to mummy's friend this is only a medium size one and this friend said he saw the even bigger one.

This is a 300 Ton Crane Barge and require 2 tug boat to tow it. And it take 2 days for this party to moved from the West to the North of Singapore.

My Birthday today

Today is my 3 year old birthday... Time really fly. If I manage to live the so called life span of a healthy dog then I got 12 more years to go. In another word, I can only be with Daddy & Mummy for another 12 years.

This is really a very short time. But there isn't any thing I could do to prolong it unless 'HE' permit it.

This year no celebration for me coz my Popo, mummy & mei mei all down with food poisonning. So mummy say I can only have a combine party with Mickey next mth. But today also not bad lah, Popo cook me Fried Rice as my Birthday Dinner.

My birthday wish this year will be... To stay happy & healthy & alway be my meimei's companion

Poison in the food

On Wednesday, Lao gu gu came to our house so mummy decided to bring them go to carpark for dinner. Daddy ordered – claypot toufu, veggie, har lok prawns & thai style chicken. Wow sound not be hor. As usual mummy ate the least as she need to feed my mei mei.

That night from about 11pm onward. Mummy started throwing up. Then Popo & mei mei started throwing up at about 2am. Then all three of them had diarrhoea from 4 am. Mummy suspect that it is the toufu is the culprit, as lady forget to order our usual request of the local toufu & give us the egg toufu instead.

Lucky for me. I never go with them so I never get it. Thinking back, being a dog also not bad leh. At least I dun get to suffer from Food Poisoning.

Testimony of my Uncle Isaac

The last time I was ask to pen my testimony was some 30 years ago when i was in my late teens. At that time, I recited the 4 spiritual laws and I received the Lord as my Saviour and was baptized the following year. The early year of Christian life after leaving school was not as dramatic as when I entered the workforce. The attractions of the world and the sarcasms from colleagues discouraged me so much that I wanted to give up my faith and get lost in the noisy confusion of life. But God is faithful and I was reminded that a truly born-again Christian would not desire to live a life of sin. While on earth, I am not perfect and I constantly need the prompting of the Holy Spirit to restore my fellowship with God. I learned that I need to repent of any sin right away for God is merciful and forgiving. (Dan 9:9)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:12)

God alienated me from my friends and their habits (when He sent me to Singapore and our family left Malaysia.) He settled me in this island where I could worship Him without distractions from these friends. I thank God for providing a place for me to worship and also to be fed with his Words.

This is a song that I used to sing ages ago. I used to shared it with friends ad colleagues:

One day I was wondering
what it is all about
Life is full of heart break,
restlessness and doubt
then a gentle stranger whispered
Word of Love
Pointed me to heaven,
wrote my name above
i know where I'm going
and who I'm going to see
I 've a friend named Jesus
waiting there for me
He has given something
that only He could give
He gave his life in payment
so that I could live

Yes, when I leave this world I know where I am going and who is going with me.

To him be the glory both now and forever. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ.

Sick bug in the air

First mei mei got a flu, then mummy gotit from mei mei. Then mummy gota flu, then mei mei got a fever then pass it back to mummy. Then mummy got hospitalise. Then mei mei got fake measles.

Aiyoh, why like that!!! one sick bug not enough but we got two at home. So bad till Mickey also cannot come over to play with me.

Mummy and mei mei when will you get well?

Unpeaceful Household

Our family is going through a rather tough period now. Reason = Mummy’s depression & Popo’s so called "Agony" & Daddy’s bitterness.

Mummy’s depression started before Sarah was born. Now took a worse turn. She has been keeping to herself and refuse to communicate. She is abit not herself leh, just last week Sarah almost fell off the bed twice while in her care. Daddy saw what happen and scolded mummy for days. When will people realise that mummy need help badly as she is sinking deeper & deeper into misery. Too bad Daddy & Popo don’t seems to be aware of it.

Popo’s agony = Because Mummy stop her from doing what she feel is good for mei mei Sarah. Then Popo started saying my mummy this, my mummy that. And why my mummy stopped her from giving my mei mei what is good for her. And say my mummy is bad girl.

As for Daddy’s bitterness. Will as it were mention above, Daddy is feeling rather bitter toward mummy at this moment. Over what happen to my mei mei Sarah.

As for ME. I am the innocent party. Thanks to them I am become abit grumpy and weepy.

Only Sarah is happy as she is too young to know about what happen.

Lift Riders

OOOOOOphs, I did it again… I took the lift on my own again. This time not mummy forgot about me, but me enter the lift without an adult.

My Popo when to empty the rubbish bin, so as a male member of the family… it is my duty to protect my popo lah… However, yesterday duno what got over me… while waiting for my popo to reach the rubbish chute… I enter into the lift and and and the lift door close.

Popo where are you???? I got panic liao… die lah… this time I sure will be separated from my daddy & mummy… But hor, mummy ever said if this type of things happen, I must remain calm…So I dashed out of the lift the moment the door open at 11 floor and I guai guai sit at one corner waiting for Popo to come and find me… I wait and wait and wait… for abt 1 hour plus and finally Popo and mei mei came to seek me…. Heng arh, lucky they find me else I dunno how to go home. I promise I be a good good boy from now onward

According to Popo, when she saw me entering the lift, she panic liao… she quickly go back home, carry my mei mei, take my harness & leash. Then she bring my mei mei to my favourite ‘business’ spot to search for me but fail to locate me.

Then she goes around the void deck and ask around and keep calling me name… but fail to find me… finally after 1 ½ hour later, a chinese popo ask my popo is she looking for a fat grey dog? – that me.

My Popo said "Yes" and that chinese popo told my popo that she saw a fat grey dog sitting outside the lift at 11th floor. So popo rush to 11th floor and sure enough, she found me sitting outside the lift…

And of course happy ending… I saw Popo and mei mei and I dash to them… then we go home lor… very garung right.

My mei mei's pictures update

AT BIRTH

NOW!

Got any changes?

I am Insured, what about you?

My Mummy had just bought an accident policy for me. Acc ording to my mummy, insurance is very important for me, as I am a bit ‘active’ whenever she bring me out of the house. What if I kanna knock down by vechicle? What if the driver hit & run? Who to pay for my medical bills? And as I am also rather handsome and friendly , she is afraid that I might follow stranger if they offer me FOOD.(Mummy what do you take me as? A GLUTTON?????) So to play safe, mummy said it is better to buy an insurance for me.

Bloody Sarah

Sarah fell off mummy's bed this morning, when mummy went to hat up Sarah's milk. Aiyoh, duno how she can fell. Mummy did placed pillows & bolsters all around her and yet she somehow managed to push her way up the bolster & down she fall.

Lucky for her, mummy came into the the room at the very moment & manage to caught her by the legs to prevent her head from hitting the ground. But hor she still got slight abrasion and brusies on her forehead. A tiny cut on her eyelid. But doctor say that it is not serious & will recover within days.

But hor Daddy got very very mad with mummy & keeps scolding mummy. Poor mummy!!! It is not her fault that mei mei fell off the bed, why daddy scold her???

We miss U, Ah Gong

Today is Ah Gong's 1st death anniversary. Wow, time passesby very fast leh. It all seems like yesterday... 4 pm daddy call and tell mummy that Ah Gong just passaway, then I go over to popo's house for holiday while daddy & mummy when back to JB for the wake.

Crying Sarah, crying Mummy

Mummy got a new hobby... Each time Sarah cry, mummy will either slap Sarah's face or beat Sarah's butt or put her hand around Sarah's neck. And Sarah will cry even louder, then mummy will beat Sarah's butt even harder... Then hor, mummy will start crying... Aiyoh why mummy so funny one.

Photo taking

Haiz... Sadly to say that till now I still do not have any photo taken with my mei mei. Not that mummy or daddy refuse to take for us but mei mei refuse to co-operate with us. I already very good boy!!! I took my seat & wait... but mei mei refuse leh... she keeps moving here & there. So till now still no chance to take pictures together.

Mummy say she had alredy start looking for photographer to help mei mei take makeover shoot but duno if the studio will allow me to take it with my mei mei or not.

Sarah's bad habit

Aiyoh, my darling baby sister is a real mah fan. Everyday my mummy got to sing hymns to Sarah inorder to make her sleep... If mummy's voice good never mind, but hor her voice is really awlful leh. Haizzzz, poor me got to endure the noise population cause by mummy... I wonder when will she be able to sleep on her own without mummy singing???

Past 1 month

I need some proper sleep!!!

Ever since my meimei Sarah came home. The whole family has not been getting enough of quality sleep (except for Sarah, coz she sleep most of the time). The person who got the least amount of sleep is mummy & I. Mummy need to wake up to feed Sarah, as for me – I am the beau guard mah, so die die must be there for them. Now that my ah mah had gone home, so even lesser sleep for the both of us. Poor us…


“HDB” lifestyle

My ah mah cannot adapt to HBD flat lifestyle. During her only month stay with us, a few minor accidents happen. First, ah mah dunno how to hang clothes indoor. A few time the tek gor slip & almost hit her head. Then she broke my food bowl!!! Poor me!!! Got to use the Stainless Steel bowl for a few weeks before mummy finally got me a new one.

Sarah’s full month celebration

We celebrated Sarah’s full month on Easter. A lot of people came over to our house. All came to see Sarah and enjoy the food provided. And of course they also came & admire ME = the handsome boy Piston. Mummy sent me for grooming the day before Easter. & she strike a deal with me, if I put on my best behaviour she will cook me Ribeye steak for lunch… So in order to win the steak, I of course become super guai & super charming. I won… not only steak alone but praises also from visitors.
