Our New World

Feb 20th : Strange or perhaps might be frightening to some, if they hear this from me “I miss being pregnant” - only 2 weeks after I've given birth to Ivan. I'm probably the few pregnant women who was blessed with an easy pregnancy (yes, Sze Weng and I prayed all throughout my pregnancy for an easy pregnancy & fast delivery. Prayer works all the time!)  No morning sickness at all, almost zero pregnancy symptoms like food cravings, tiredness etc. In fact, for the past 2 pregnancies, I’ve been immensely blessed with so much energy that I hardly feel tired even though I had to work late or travel in and out of office for meetings or even travel out of the country for business meetings. It’s strange even to know that whilst I was pregnant, I was more alert at work and performed better!  Perhaps it's the power of TWO! Let me share with you some of the reasons why I enjoyed being pregnant :  1. I got less worried when I gained weight during those 10 months. For both pregnan

2 Corinthians 5:7 "We live by faith, not by sight." Whenever I'm in doubt/disbelief, I often refer to the Bible for some spiritual food. Or at times, I would read one of those Christian books I have.  But the ‘10 guidelines from God’ below is a straight-forward ‘tips’ to leaving behind those doubts/disbelief to God. After all, nothing is too difficult for Him. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes You need to make in your life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines.  1. Quit worrying Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for y

James 1:2-3 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."   Feb 2009 : 18th - Have you ever experienced this - you've been praying & praying for something NOT to happen but it happens anyway. And then you start to question if God actually heard your prayers and if he did, how come He allowed that thing to happen to you??? Once and for all, let's get the fact right. God did not come to steal, kill or destroy. It's all the devil's work. The devil is always trying to screw up your plans so that you can start blaming God for not answering your prayers. Ok enough said about the devil, no need to give him more limelight. I wanna share what we are going through now.  After Ivan's quick delivery on 9th Feb, we were soon discharged on 10th Feb afternoon, after both of us were given the clearance of good health. Sze Weng and I were very happy that everything i

Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."   9th Feb 2009 : It's Chap Goh Mei today ie the last day of CNY and it happened to be a public holiday (due to replacement for Thaipusam which fell on Sunday). I was sound asleep till I was awakened by a contraction that caused my lower body to be numbed. I have not experienced any contractions in the past few days, this was the first one. When it happened, it was around 5plus in the morning. I sat up on the bed and breathed in slowly and said a little prayer for the numbness to go away.  Little did I know that my body was getting ready to deliver Ivan into our arms that morning..! After that contraction was over, I went back to bed. As a lover of beauty sleep, I dozed off immediately. The next contraction woke me up and sent me straight to the toilet for some BIG business. It dawned on me then that I might be delivering that morning itself! I went back to th

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope & a future."    It's been a while since I wrote.... been really busy since..what May 2008!..haha. Let's see... what have I been busy with since then..   May 2008 : been a really busy month then, was involved in a big time business pitch for a leading skincare brand which we later won the entire business. The blessings behind this is that I was not put on the account but the sad thing was our group was restructured and I was transferred to another group. When that happened, I thought to myself that "maybe I was NOT good enough hence the mgmt decided to move me to another group instead." Little did I know that God has a better plan. That account would have been 'way-too-much' for me esp. since I later found out I was pregnant!... (yee-hah!)  Fast fwd to  July 2008 : on 21st, I went to see Dr Liew to confirm that I wa
