On 22nd January 2009, I spoke at The Lunchtime Christian Fellowship Meeting at The Metropole YMCA. I posted about it here at I Did It! The podcast is up now. If would like to listen to my testimony about the grace of God on my life, do click on this link HERE and click on my name 🙂 […] Read more…

Diary of Pregnancy #7 – slow countdown to Birth (Pt 2)
Saturday, 21st February 2009 (Week 38) Ah! So torn! Feeling rather uncomfortable, I started to pray that the Lord will bring forth the baby QUICKLY, like now! But then I realised that if that happened, someone’ s birthday celebration will be a muted one. Child #5 is to celebrate her 4th birthday next Thursday – […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – No Nesting Instinct
Ok. I am now 38.5 weeks along and I am convinced I am not going to be getting any nesting instinct kicking in anytime soon 🙁 I am still moving at a snail’s pace. My plan was to relay on it to help me clear out and clean out all the last minute things I wanted to […] Read more…
Helpful Website for Pregnant Moms

It is a fairly basic website that describes the various stages of labour with graphics on the various labour and birth positions. Direct […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – Giving Thanks!
If you have been reading my blog, you would know that this time round, I was to have no help in the food department after I birth. 🙁 And so I had my grand plan all laid out. We bought a stand alone freezer and I had planned out all my meals and pre-prepared them […] Read more…
Why We Don’t Do Yoga or TCM
I have been wanting to write this post for the longest time but never found time to craft it properly. But with the amount of distraction I have been facing lately, if I don’t write this now, I guess I’ll never write it. And I do think it is important enough that I am also […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – slow countdown to Birth (Pt 1)
I started this early this month but didn’t want to post it then as I didn’t want to bore you with the little one liners or two that I was writing. This is more for me to remember my own feelings as I head down the road to the birth of the baby. Sunday, 8th February 2009 […] Read more…
Pregnancy Musings – Grumpy
I often wonder why I get so grumpy towards the end of each pregnancy. Hormones? Physical exhaustion? What?! Well, except the 1st 2. Perhaps the excitement of having a child outweighed all the physical discomfort back then? Or perhaps it was youth? Like I mentioned before there is a whole lot of difference between being […] Read more…
Something’s Gotta Give
Yes, something’s gotta give. One can’t just keep on adding the things one needs to do without giving up some other stuff. In the same way, one cannot hope to be a fulltime mother and career woman without something being sacrificed. Be it sleep (sleep less), money (to farm out certain responsibilities) or time to […] Read more…
How We Use Student of the Word Curriculum in our Homeschool
UPDATE: It is with sadness that I discover that Student of the Word no longer exists. I guess this post should have been posted long ago. There have been so many people writing and asking me about SOW or Student of The Word programme and how we use it in our homeschooling. I have hesitated in […] Read more…
