His underlying diease causes his kidneys to be disfunctioning and he suffers from a spine fracture.
Today, i am glad to recieve good news that his creatinie level is normal and may not need dialysis anymore but the renal doctor wish to keep him for more observations. Thank you GOD!
Yesterday, when my father was doing his daily phisotherpy session, Faustina suddenly stood in front of the walking frame that my father is holding on to and shouted JIA YOU! JIA YOU!!!!!! I was so touched!
Faustina becomes our HAPPY angel! I cried in front of her many times and she would hug me and pat me and tell me not to be sad.
Darling, i am so grateful to have you in my life and i remains strong because of you!
Till then, take good care everyone and treasure your loved ones!
This morning, i recieved a call from Agnes, Faustina’s godma informing that she is unable to accompany me to the hospital this evening as her sister is admitted to the hospital due to her heart problem.
Shortly after i put down the phone, i wrote an sms to her. I wrote
“Sis, i can truely understand the agony you face but we need to be strong for our loved ones! These few days made me feel that life is so vunerable and we are weak in human form and hence we need to surrender all to GOD! If God wants us to go through all these obstacles, HE in HIS own way will eqquip us with the necessary strength and faith to brave us through! See light at the end of the tunnel!
As soon as i made this sms, i cried and prayed to GOD that HE who had created me know my utmost fears and i am not as strong as i seem to but i choose to believe that God has HIS reasons for all these!
My mum was procrastinating that Heaven was so unfair but is HE????? I don’t know but i choose to look in a simpler way….. To me, the problem lies on my dad as he did not choose to take care of his health and refuse to drink plenty of water. When one is given a choice and yet he chooses the latter, is it fair to blame HEAVEN????
I prayed that GOD will give me a meek and quiet heart so that i can listen to him more clearly……
Baby, in years to come, when you read this post…….
Remember to pause and count your blessings…..
Remember to reflect and try not to take anyone in your life for granted for you would never know when GOD will demand for them and want them back for company!
No matter how successful you may be or just as simple as like mummy, what matters is the happiness in your heart!
Search your conscience and serve GOD with all your heart!
We are here to be useful instruments of GOD and hence learn to serve HIM in good and bad times!
Checking back on my last entry for the blog, it was almost a month since i last updated it!
Lots of happenings around me……..
Faus was sick for the last week of the holidays and she only went back to school last wednesday……
My dad injured his back and is still resting at home…………………
My brother……………Haiz……
Every household had their own problems……
Tons of worries!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By faith, i surrendered everything to GOD!
Well, a piece of good news though……Last Tuesday, i went for bible sharing in Church! At last, for almost three years, i can have my own personal time as now DH has no problems taking care of Faus all alone, feed her, bath her, reading books to her…………….. He can DO IT ALL!!!!
I pray that everything will resume back to normal and that i can take time to rest and reflect………….
Loads to update and hopefully i can get back to my right state of mind and start to pen down everything for Faus’s blog!:)
Well, as mentioned in my earlier post(backdated post actually!), i tried to make Faus’s school holidays as interesting as it would be……..
The first week of her holidays was spent on nursing her running nose and cough and hence not much of fun…..!!!!
On 31 May, Jonathan and Angeline drove us to pick up the Kangaroo Climber which i rented from the Toy Rental Shop.(Thank you so much Jonathan and Angeline!) With the Kangaroo Climber at home, Faustina can definitely sweat it out everyday. What a fun way to exercise! It also really helps me to catch up with my housework and cooking!
On the second week of holidays, Faus attended Kinderland’s holiday program and she did art and craft, learn how to make jellies and even decorating crackers. She really had much fun and i guess she enjoyed more when she got to go to school everyday. Somehow, i sensed it as during the first week, she kept asking me where is Daddy and when is he coming back home and where is popo, gong gong, godma, jiu jiu and jie jie and when are they coming to play with me? *FAINT*
Last Friday, a day that Faustina had been looking very forward to …………………BARNEY SHOW!!!!!!!!
Dh and Faustina had a great time at the show and enjoyed it sooooooo much! I am glad that Dh aka BOSS of the Tan’s household had very positive comments on the show and even felt that it was worthwhile to spend a saturday afternoon in this way with his beloved gal!
I went to the book fair with Faus’s Godma instead. I was not very keen about the purple dinosaur as i am being “tortured” to watch him everyday!haha…….but at the end of the show, when i saw Faus chatting excitely with her daddy about it, i suddenly felt lost and thought i should have been there with them too!
Wow……… Its going to be the third week of the June holidays.
Before the holidays, i am planning for more activities that i could do with faustina so as not to bore her and that staying at home means that time will tend to go slower but it turned out not to be……Time just passes faster than i thought it would be……
In conjunction with ‘National Family Week’, Faus’s school organised a picnic food and games day at Botanic Gardens on 21 May 2008. It was a fun fun fun day!
Last Thursday, 15 May 2008, was Faustina’s Godma, Agnes’s birthday and it was also Faustina’s school open day! How exciting!!! Faus’s Godma arrived at around 7am and Faustina was just so thrilled to see her. Usually every morning when Faustina woke up, she would laze around and refused to prepare for school but this day, she woke up without much persistance and willingly got herself ready for school!
As she was very cooperative and hence we reached her school at 8am! In fact, this was the first time she got to school so early and even Mrs Boh, Faus’s assistant teacher was surprised to see her! As usual, necessary screening for all students before they could attend the school and hence the school open day would only start at 9am. Hence, Agnes and i headed home for breakfast first! I made tuna sandwiches for Agnes and myself. Agnes is not only Faustina’s Godma but also a Godsis to DH and me and i felt really happy to be able to spend some time with her! After our breakfast, we made our way to Faus’s school and i was feeling very excited to see her in school!!!
In school, Faustina was having her teabreak and they were having macaroni that day. It was such a lovely sight to see all the children sit down nicely, socialising and had their snacks together. Faustina asked for a second helping.
Me curiously ask Teacher Lai: “Lao shi, does she always eat so much? “
Teacher Lai: ” Yes, Huixin always has a BIG appetite!“
Me: “Is it? Do you know that after school, she can still eat a bowl of porridge?!!!!!“
Both of us were like HUH?????!!!!!!
Teacher Lai: “No wonder, she becomes rounder and rounder, MUST ask her to EXERCISE MORE. “
Me: “YA! OK!”
Agnes and i really have fun with the children! They were so innocent and eager to show you what they have in school, sing the songs that they have learnt and they love playing with ME!!!!! hahaha……..
After school, Dh, Agnes, Faustina and i went to IMM and had lunch at Fish and Co. Faustina baobei must be very exhausted and hence didn’t join us for lunch, instead she suggested to sleep in her pram!
It was a great day spent! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, AGNES!!!!
Last Friday, on our way back from school, Faus requested to have her sweet that was given by her friend, jingling. Hence, I looked inside her backpack but i couldn’t find it. She was very unhappy and started to sob…… I left with no choice but carried her all the way home.
