Carebear stereo

The cutest Christmas present ever.

That's John Mayer's latest album "Battle Studies" playing from my iPod Nano, its strains of music cooing softly through carebear's erm...legs. I laughed, because I could hardly hear the music. She said, it's for bedtime pleasure. Ah I see...good idea. Hee. Thank you, dear.

A weird kind of end

So she went.

I felt no loss, just a little sad.

An ironic prayer was declared, to some amusement and to my horror.

Such a weird way to go, such a weird way to mingle.

Now that it's over, I wonder again at the frailty of life, and losing the ones I love most.

Ah well.

Grateful

Today, as I read the very kind words in the office email, an overwhelming warmth welled up in my heart. The tears came, but just for a short while, before I steadied myself to thank Him for putting me where He knew I would be. This is the place where I know I am meant to be, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be. I am just so grateful.

Midbar

Midbar - the hebrew word for "wilderness". A desolate and uninhabited place where you have nothing to cling on. And because of that, it is where you can hear His voice the clearest. The wilderness experience for Moses was intimate...

So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend...

And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Then he said to Him, "If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here...

Exodus: 33: 11... 14, 15

The wilderness brings with it a complex mix of frustration, waiting and longing. But may I never forget to cling on to your presence, O Lord. If Your presence doesn't follow me, I don't want to go there.

Offline

I have been pretty much offline from the world at large. I have even forgotten what day it is today. It is a Monday, yes. Such is the Satir course.

Body parts not in sync

On Sunday, Ethan's church outift: Oversized beige short-sleeved button-up shirt, cargo pants exposing his ankles, dangling above his socks and brown shoes. Hanging on to his dad's hand, he turned around and said to me: "Aunty D, my shirt is too big for me, my pants are too short for me, and my shoes are too small for me." To which, I replied: "That's a good thing, cos it shows that you're growing!"

His dad chipped in, saying: "Your upper body is growing slower than your lower body."

Funny Ethan replied, with a toothy smile: "My body is confused!"

HAHAHA. This is the result of a mother who makes effort to engage him in proper conversations. He gives such intelligent answers!!! :)

Why I love local muso Eric Ng (黄韻仁)

First, I must say I was supposed to be at Lunar watching Taiwanese rock duo Power Station (動力火車). But in the end, I decided not to buy the tix. And then, now I find out that my favourite local muso played electric guit with them!!! Oh man, they really rocked the house down man!!! I so should have been there. If only I knew I knew Eric was playing... Anyways, enjoy the two vids. Shiok stuff.
