Ivan won his 1st Robotics competition!!!

Words cannot describe how proud I felt when Ivan & his team won his 1st ever Robotics competition today 6th June 2019.

The competition was organised by CR8 Robotics Centre every year and all the branches in Malaysia will take part. This year the event took place at D'Pulze Shopping Centre in Cyberjaya.

Ivan invited his best friend, Joshua Ethan and his brother Jonathan Asher (who coincidentally is Isaac's best friend) to give some moral support.











The prize money for 1st place in his category was RM1,000 cash. He took home his share of RM300 and I have promised him that I will reward another RM300 if they win the 1st place. I was more than happy to bless him as it is more blessed to be a blessing.

Ivan quickly decided to tithe RM100 to honour God who blessed him in the first place. He also blessed his favourite grandfather with RM100 as appreciation for taking good care of him all the time. On top of that, he also blessed the whole family with dinner @ 126 restaurant... it was the best dinner ever, though it was just simple mixed rice dishes. He decided to save RM250 into the bank to earn some interest and only spent RM90 for some Beyblade toys.

Praise God that our children has the desire to be a blessing to others and to honour God and His kingdom. Thank you Jesus!!

Our Lim family's Chinese names

Image
It's not easy for an English educated Chinese banana like me to remember how to write our kids' Chinese names..(yeah of course I know how to write my own Chinese name). So I've actually prepared a powerpoint slide of all our Chinese names, as above, to help remind me how their names are to be written :p It's funny how we got Ivan's chinese name above... my parents didn't manage to provide chinese names that we like that rhymes with his English name - IVAN. Most of those that my dad shortlisted sounded abit like a girl's name. So one day what I did was to google for a translation website and used this website to translate "Wen" in english to Chinese character. After some browsing through, I've finally selected the above Chinese character to represent "Wen" which also has a very good meaning. It represents "stability, strength, strong foundation" which I find will be very good traits for a little boy. There is a Chinese sayin...

Our 2nd honeymoon to Turkey 8-17 June 2010

Image
In Ankara where it was almost towards the end of our honeymoon trip to Turkey , Sze Weng asked me “Dear, how would you rate this Turkey trip? Will you come back for more?” Without a doubt, I answered him “10/10 and YES will definitely come back, to cover Eastern Turkey !!” Turkey is such a beautiful country with majestic historical architecture dating back to Roman, Greek & Otoman empires, magnificent nature scenes and significantly rich culture, that even a rock at some hillside is at least 2 centuries’ old and superbly rich with stories. It was never our choice destination for our 2 nd honeymoon till I heard from my best friend, Joanne who came back from Turkey last year and sang praises about it. After some research through forums, we were captivated with the beauty & magnificence of the country that we decided we could NOT resist it. We traveled for 10 days throughout the Western side of Turkey ; from Istanbul to Pamukkale, then on to Cappadocia and Ankara and bac...

Respect for stay-at-home mothers..

A friend and his wife joined us at church today. They brought along their 5-month baby and felt immediately at ease with RLC's nursery area. She delivered her baby in March and has since left her job to be a full-time home-maker/mother/wife etc. Looking at her, I felt a strong sense of respect for her. I started asking myself "would I quit my job to take care of my 2 boys all by myself?" It's a question that I've asked myself during my 1st confinement after delivering Isaac. Then, my quick reply was NO. Financial limitation aside, I find it a really HUGE sacrifice for any working mums to take this bold step. I do not pride myself as being a workaholic... but to certain extend, I like my job & I like having my financial independence plus a strong social network which I've build across the last 10 years working in the media industry.  Confinement period/maternity leave is by far the closest I could get to being a stay-at-home mother. Not to say I do not en...
