How mad can she get?

Seth On SaucerMorning start off very dramatically. Mom was busy doing chores for us, sweeping, mopping, laundry. We are totally grateful for mom doing all these things (which we never expect her to) for us. The reason for her to come over to stay for the week is to enjoy being with BB Seth and not feel bored alone at home. Since I have yet to get a job, we can't let her babysit BB Seth till I earn my income. Being very practical.

Anyhow, after all the chores were done, mom was enthusiastically assembling the saucer. I walked out from bedroom and told her bluntly,

"Don't assemble the saucer yet. Edward will do it. He said don't let ah boy sit in the saucer as he wants to clean it."

Immediately, mom snapped! She said we are so particular. The saucer is cleaned by my eldest brother already and she cleaned it again with cloth this morning. Then the seat was washed and clean too. Suddenly, she said,

"I am not going to babysit your ah boy for you liao! you ask your mother-in-law to babysit him! You people are just so particular and picky!"

The scolding goes on and on....URRRGHHH!

I shut my mind and tell myself. WWJD? Calm calm....I went to prepare the bath for BB Seth and bathed him. After that, I went to living room only to realize that my mom had cried! Tell you, my heart breaks sia! Seeing her so, I kept my mouth shut. Thank God that noon came, mom is ok already and was playing happily with BB Seth. After i ate my lunch, I took a pail of dettol water and clean the saucer and assembled the seat. Since mom wanted BB Seth to sit, I just please her lor.

Since can make mom happy and get BB Seth occupied for awhile, I gladly do the job of cleaning the saucer. Didn't let Olive Tree know about the matter as don't want him to feel bad. Having said all, I have to be really careful how I phrase my sentences, in teochew, next time when I talk to my mom. She is getting so sensitive these days. But end of the day, I think she still loves us lots. Now, as a mother, I can fully comprehend that love can be so unreasonable, unconditional. I can imagine how wonderful Daddy God loves us and it's to the infinity.

Excerpt from What makes a good dad? By Max Lucado

Dear God,

Thanks for giving me a daddy. You knew just what I’d need! In case you need to make daddies for other kids, I thought you might like to know what I like best about the one you sent me:

A good dad ...
1. knows everything (like how to tie shoes and drive a car)
2. is really smart (he even knows where the wind goes after it blows through the trees)
3. has a forgiving heart (for when I mess up)
4. is loaded with patience, patience, patience (he probably won’t need it, but just in case...)
5. has a comfy lap and a big laugh (you understand about that, don’t you?)
6. tells me all about you and your son.

Your friend,
A Kid

P.S. I almost left out the best part! A good dad has real strong arms (to catch me when I fall. He says you’re just like that, too.)

so fine

*All of the above photos did not under go PP. What so great about these shots? Nothing really but just that it's taken with the newly acquired Fuji FinePix F100 fd . The decision of getting this was after reading the reviews, the forums and samples seen. Also, the PnS is so called, necessary now, since I find that bringing it around for our upcoming trip would be necessary. I must say the quality of photos taken in low light conditions definitely surpasses all that I've seen. Especially my old PnS Panasonic Lumix. I am eager to try out IQ again tomorrow morning and praying it's gonna be a beautiful day! Sam was telling me that be very careful with using this camera, cause when you really find it soo easy and obtaining superb IQ, you will tend to forget to use your DSLR! :D We'll see. On site comparison of the photos taken at John 3:16, this F100 fd really is much sharper as compared to Canon IXUS 860IS . Geez, which was what I have in mine previously if I wanna get a P...

Doggy Poo

Seth's into this Korean Anime Craze now. He was so into Pororo for the past 2 weeks. Then last Thursday, he has a new fav, Doggy Poo . The Anime is quite a meaningful one and Seth enjoys watching it, he names the characters, he asked about the story line. The funny part of it is hearing him say, "Doggy Poo" with such a cuteness. The story tells the little ones and even us, adults, God has a good plan for all of us, no matter how insignificant we may think our lives are. Image courtesy from Wikipedia Tomorrow we are sending Seth for his review. Hope his lungs are cleared and the medication feeding days are over. It's really a great struggle to feed the little guy his Antibiotics. Even now, he can goes on and on repeating the word, "Anti-biotices". Compose a tune about it! Aiyo. :(

Show Your True Color!

Was reading Amber's blog and found this interesting test. What's Your True Color? My Result: Yellow You're yellow , the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you! What are you? http://web.tickle.com/jumpto?test=colorogt&c=50652
