Never been kissed
By another adult female (except for my Mum and late grandmas which was eons ago when I was little!).
But today, my cousin's wife kissed me on my cheek as she bade farewell to me and my family. She's very physically affectionate! She hugged my mum too to bid farewell. She and her family were going back to Penang after spending some days here in Sg for a holiday as well as to witness her son's NUS convocation ceremony. She's an encouragement. She told me to enjoy my kids while they are still young. Because time passes so quickly, in a blink of an eye her kids are now young adults and a teen. I still remember her as my cousin's girlfriend back in BM when he jokingly asked me and my little bro what we thought of his then-girlfriend.
Time does pass by so quickly. The years are short. I do miss my girls' toddler years so much. Must dig out their old pics to remember their super cute years. Now that they are pre-teens, it's less of being cute but trying to be cool! Aiyoh.....
Divine appointment
After bumping into my ex-JC friend (who is married to my Hubby's colleague) and then having them explain to us the whole complicated procedure of getting N into the pri sch that their sons are in, I realised it was God's divine appointment. If not for them, we would've probably just blur-sotongly waited for the school to contact us for the good news. From the looks of it, we will only know by year end.
If it's God's will, I believe N will end up there. If not, what for the divine appointment? :)

Ascribe Greatness
This old song came to my mind today. Miss singing it!
I was just wondering if the lyrics were actual Bible verses. Yup, realised they are, after a quick google search. They're taken from Deuteronomy 32:3-4.
His work is perfect and all His ways are just
Ascribe greatness to our God the rock
His work is perfect and all His ways are just
A God of faithfulness and without injustice
Good and upright is He
A God of faithfulness and without injustice
Good and upright is He
———
There seems to be running theme of me being personally reminded of God's faithfulness since last week.
I wonder what's up. :P
I guess I have been grouchy and stressed. What with all the potty training, lack of sleep, failed attempts to start weaning off D, preparing for the new house (impending need to seriously plan furniture, curtains, paint colors, lights, appliances, etc), decluttering so that we move no useless junk over (which is a LOT LOT LOT!), worrying about N's primary 1 registration, not spending enough time with the girls, lack of time to do chores like ironing, changing bedsheets (URGH!), cleaning the grimey toilets, lack of devotional time with the older kids. And after moving house I have to cook lunch and dinner myself almost daily. Where to find time?? When can I cut my hair?? Wah stress.
I have to remind myself:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
"I can't, but He can!"
"God is faithful."
*takes deep breath*
Go!

The days are long...
I've started potty training D and am half-heartedly trying to wean him off nursing.
Poop and pee, I can take it. Success seems distant for now. And that's okay.
But the screeching and crying for wanting to nurse to sleep is torturous. For him and for me. Fourth time round and it's the hardest.
The days have been long, but the nights are even longer.
Pray for D and me?
