Yesterday, hubby came back with a bag full of baby clothes. It was some hand me downs from one of his classmates, Clarence. We were thankful and delighted to have more clothes for baby Evangeline as we do not wished to buy too many clothes as children outgrow them very quickly. Anyway, 3/4 of the clothes were all hand me downs from cousins and frens, only a few new pieces from Hubby and I. I am glad this loot from Clarence adds more to the current collection we have as most of the clothes we have were for 0-3 months old. We do need more clothes for 3 months and above and Clarence's loot fits the bill. Thank GOd for answering our prayers and of course, helping us to save quite a bit of money. :)
Got half of the loot washed this morning. Certainly not easy to handwash clothes but cause my baby detergent foams a lot so I dare not machine wash again as I believe the detergent is not low sud.
We were also happy that we dun have to return these clothes to Clarence unlike clothes frm cousins which we need to sort them out away from those clothes I bought. I hope along the way, I will not mix the clothes up and remember which set belongs to which cousin. That's kind of troublesome but it is also a good gesture as we can pass down clothes from one cousin to another and help one another out. It's not a bad idea afterall. I have to think of a way to separate them out...Oh well.........
Current Mood: Thankful

Wonderful fellowship!
Yesterday, I brought J and her boyfriend to the bridal shop that I had engaged for my wedding two years ago and also to catch up on each other's life during lunch.
Amoy Street Food Centre is a must to go. This was my first time there and we were glad to be there early before lunch crowd. I was highly recommeded to try out the fish soup stall at second level but did not manage to try that as the queue was very long. Guessed must really queue up for about half an hour before I could get my food. Evangeline couldn't wait anymore as she was kicking to protest for food. Oh well, so I scurried off to another stall with a shorter queue for a plate of yummy Wan Tan noodles.
Hey hey hey, it was super duper delicious and value for money ($4). it's either $3 or $4 and I opted for the bigger one..no choice, double serving now leh. :) But I was dumbfounded. The noodles given was about two person servings, 6 fried wantans and a bowl of wan tan soup with further 12 non-fried wan tans in it. Eh, I couldn;t believe what I got for the price I was paying. I was not joking. It's true. Try it out if you ever have a chance..Seeing is believing.
After a full-filling lunch, we went to Flamingo Bridal to try out the gowns there. J was facinated by the wide choices of gowns she can choose from. She was totally clueless at the various cuts, empire cut, toga, halter, embrioderies, lace patch etc. In the end, she was so wearied after trying the gowns but at least have an idea what she wanted. Since Shirley, the designer and owner of the shop was not there, we make an appointment to meet her again on Sat. Hopefully, Shirley can come up with something unique for J.
Honestly speaking, I was very happy for J. It reminded me of my wedding day and how pretty I looked in those gowns. Those were the good old days. Now, I looked more like a bloated balloon. J, hope you like the gowns you have tried!
Yup, a great day of fellowship, but ended up with a night of painful leg cramps due to exhausted calves muscles after a long day of walking. Ah.....I am indeed getting super heavy for my poor legs to handle.

Lesson 1: Start reading pregnancy books
Today, I had a wonderful time catching up with Lena and her little baby boy Issac. Just bid my company goodbye in the morning before joining Lena for lessons on what to expect next in being a Mum Wanabe. Hearing her experiences on how she dealt with her first trimester and what she did to cope her anxieties gave me a sense of assurance that I will be fine as well. It's all about learning from people, picking yourself up when mistakes are made and read lots of books to prepare yourself physically and mentally. Reviews and opinions on Dr Adrian were being discussed and somehow I knew I would most likely choose him as my Gynae for my little baby. I believe that with his vast experience and good reviews from forumers and even from my friends and colleages do earn him great credibility and trust. I know I would be in good hands. Anyway, I left Lena's place full of treats in my hands, yah pregnancy books and magazines. When will I be able to finish I wonder?
Hubbby was so sweet to give me a call, asking me to join him for dinner and we headed for our favourite fish soup stall. Yup, I needed to eat more fish as I just learnt that fish is rich in DHA which is good for the baby's neuro development.
Feeling very lethargic now as if my bones are giving way anytime.....Sigh....hopefully God will take away any morning sickness from me...I wouldn't want to puke for 9 months like some of my friends did.....It's going to be very tough......
Looking forward for my next scan.....
Dear God, bless this child and in your hands, mould the child into your likeness. Protect the child and see through his/her every development (brain, organs, limbs, arms etc) that he/she may be healthy and beautiful. We thank you for this miracle baby at your divine appointment, we commit this child into your hands and may each stage of my pregnancy be smooth and joyful. Amen!

Not the end, but a new beginning!
Woa! back in action..MIA for so long as I needed to be alone thinking thru lots of things and sorting out my life...
Finally, I have finished and graduated from Tung Ling Bible College! The three months were super refreshing..total desperation to total revival! What to expect? Great frens, powerful lessons and inspiring lecturers, loving Dean and spiritually renewed!
I felt touched and thankful that God gave me this opportunity to seek him so intimately in Tung Ling. I learnt so much about God and hearing His voice and being assured of what He has planned for me to do in His kingdom was one that I have been seeking for so long.
I have made wonderful frens, frens who stood by me these three months, frens who are so sincere and genuine, frens who reprimanded me and guided me in my walk with God, frens who inspired me thru their own testimonies, frens whom I can have evelasting frenship with, frens who changed my life totally...FRENS...
Frens who impacted my life lots were the foreign students and these are the ones whom I am closest to. They are unique and I will never ever be able to made such frens who are really God sent ones.
1) Pastor Suresh from India : Sensitive, Caring, a great Mentor and powerful prayer intercessor in my life. Sacrificial love shown to me and Samuel..He is my spiritual father! I love him lots!
2) Wendy from Taiwan: Trustworthy, dependable, my emotional support and my confidate. I can share anything, anyway and she is still there for me despite my short-comings. Genuine and sincere...I love you Wendy! Thanks for the love and care you have shown me!
3) Hilda from Indonesia: Sweet, encouraging, a heart of gold, kind and loving. She is another fren whom I can trust and share my life with. She cares and loves me lots. We laugh and joke and talk about anything under the sun. I miss you Hilda! Press on for the Lord.
4) Mary and Christina from Myammar: My great buddy Mary and my baby Christina, both are simple and kind. Though they don't speak much but they always keep me in prayers. I learnt simplicity and discipline from them. They are very disciplined in their walk with God and their servant hearts for God is amazing..Inspired to be like them!
5) John from Sri Lanka: Great brother, Young and strong, A heart after God..Faithful and kind. Missed his smiles and he is a fantastic angel. Brought me so many things to keep me a mortal happy..thanks Angel!
6) Coco from Hong Kong: She is special in my heart. A new christian, ready to embark a new journey in pursuing GOd and His call in her life. I see so much changed in her since she first stepped into Tung Ling and now graduated with so much zeal, love and faith in God. She blessed me with so much, not material but her life testimonies, her love and prayers for me, her struggles which I can minister to...her desire to grow in the Lord...I treasure this special fren! CoCo...continue to run the race well with God! He will blessed you abundantly!
It's not the end, it is now a new beginning for me..I trust, obey and believe that my life will be transformed and I will make a difference in the lives of others! Let me be a blessing to others...let me be a Woman of God!

Gosh, just wan to thank God for such wonderful CG mates I have this year. Can't help but blog about these wonderful new friends. Have been in Covenant EFC for about 4 months now and you should see how God has blessed me with so many things.

Thanks Hubby!
