I guess, being a mother of 2 certainly takes a toll on my "spare time" to write and express myself in this little space of mine. I believe in "talking it out", or in this case, "writing it out", as a self-help therapy to maintain my sanity as a human being. :)
Well, where to start? I think it is best to give a "snapshot" of some major events that happened between my last post and now.
- We went back to Malaysia for a 2+ week holiday during CNY this year. It has been good but a hectic "holiday". Managed to have our favourite KFC (hot and spicy) TWICE, hawker food, restaurant food (not that cheap anymore). But I must say that (maybe) due to the heat and humidity back there, I lost my appetite for the food I longed for while I was here in the Aussie land. Wasted? Maybe...
- Bought our first house in Gold Coast! Yay! This house "came to us" by surprise and surprisingly, we made the offer just overnight after only 1 inspection, lol! I guess, this is what people mean by "love at first sight"? =P
- Had this back pain bugging me for months since Alethia's birth and recently went for a community check up offered by one of the chiropractic clinic in Gold Coast. I was freaked out when I saw my X-ray film which showed that my spine, despite being straight, is in "S" shape! Omg! The doctor suggested a 3 months "adjustments", but a church friend suggested a "natural exercise" healing path. I think I will try on the natural one first. Somehow, having other people "adjusting" your bones still feels "artificial". You know what I mean?
- Met up with one of my long-lost primary schoolmate recently and found out that I don't have many close friends (whom I remained in contact). This fact sort of dawned at me that perhaps I need to do more "regular maintenance" of my friendship with my old pals. OR maybe... I am just not a very friendly person (which my other friend disagree)? Well, I have to admit that I am not the type of person who will walk up to a stranger and strike a conversation that will last for more than a few minutes (yes, that bad!), but I guess I am genuine to the people I befriended with. At least, in my heart, they are ALWAYS my good mates (though I'm not sure they will agree or not...).
- Okay, to a more serious matter - I really thank the Lord that I have been reading the Bible (continuously) starting early this year. This started from a realisation and a revelation from the Lord that I have not really read through the Bible, not even once (completely). With more and more natural disaster, man-made disaster (e.g. wars) and some false "prophet" predicting the "end day", it stirkes me hard that indeed, our Lord is coming back soon! I do not want to be unprepared in meeting Him on that day and I certainly do not wish to go through the thousand years of gnashing of teeth, too! So, it dawned on me that I need to DO SOMETHING NOW, and the first thing I think I needed is to be equiped with the word of God! So, let us be watchful and be prepared for His coming back!

Dear Grace,
I've been checking in on your blog every so often since your Jan 11th post, hoping that a new post would finally show up :)
Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy reading your blog even though I don't leave comments. Since we are an ocean apart and we haven't had a chance to see each other in over 10 years, reading your blog helps me to stay in touch with your life.
Here's wishing you and your family the very best!
Hey, Alvina!~
So good to hear from you again!
Miss you so much la! Any chance to come to Aussie? :P
Thanks for checking up though it has been a while since I last write. Lol!
:)
Hey Grace,
Nice to hear back from you.
Unfortunately, I won't be visiting Aussie anytime soon. I'd love to though, sometime in the not-so-near future, since I have yet to visit Aussie.
