Princess Charlotte's 1 Yr Old Birthday

Charlotte turns 1 yr old today. Her mommy & daddy threw a birthday celebration for her yesterday and invited all the aunties and uncles. And of course, not forgetting Charlotte's friends like Zach, Sean, Zoe, Jed, Theophilus and Jadyn.

As for me, it was a good time meeting up with old friends. And Penny introduced me to her new WII game. It was fun, and can be addictive. I had two rounds of bowling session with Penny, Ee-lin & Soo Guan. It was quite cool. We could actually bowl in the comfort of home. I think if i didn't have plans to visit Lisan and Baby Kaelynn at their new home, i could have stayed and played the whole night. Ha Ha!

KK's Birthday

January is a month of many birthdays. There's Jan, Jo, Julia, Gladys, KK etc.

Thursday was KK's birthday and the group celebrated with him over steamboat dinner @ Liang Seah Street. We had fun but i guess it would be really nice if it's a friday nite instead. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Jadyn's 1 Yr Old Birthday

We celebrated Jadyn's one year old birthday @ Aloha Loyang on sat. It's a nice place and first time for most of us there. I love the pool, surroundings and it has a beach infront. It's a great place for gathering and retreat. So if u are looking at a place in Singapore instead of overseas, this is a good choice. They have bungalows to suit bigger crowd as well. The only drawback is that it has limited carpark lots and it's quite a problem especially during weekends when every unit is having a party.



The kids had a good time playing while the adults had a nice time catching up with friends.



Glad that MJ came as well.

Story Between Tom & Sanrio

This week seems to be a BIRTHDAY week. Afew friends birthday falls on this week. There's Pat, Lynn, HJ, Junming plus 2 other colleagues.

On friday, had a birthday lunch with 'Sanrio' at Singapore Swimming Club after our morning event ended. OK .. it was more like a treat from boss. And in the afternoon, celebrated 'Sanrio'' & 'Tom's birthday in the office.

XF bought a big cake and 2 mini cakes. I thought it was pretty cute. One had a tom picture on it and the other had a sanrio design. It was funny ... looking at the two mini-cakes, it reminded me of what boss casually mentioned to me in the car just afew days back. Can't remember what we were talking but out of the blue, he asked me what does 'Sanrio' look for in a guy? And actually, he thinks that 'Tom' & 'Sanrio' actually makes a good couple. If we think so, then we ought to be doing something for them.

Huh? Can't believe that this is coming from boss. But in the first place, i think 'Tom' has a girlfriend overseas but not sure if they are still together coz. he doesn't like to talk about his private life to us.

So naturally when i see the 2 mini-cakes, i had a good laugh. What was even funnier was that when they cut the birthday cake together, it looks as if they were cutting the wedding cake. This was what afew of my colleagues commented infront of them. And the funny thing was that both of them just laughed.

Ha ha ..... a little éntertainment' in the midst of a busy week.

Cheryl's Birthday Celebration

Our cg held a belated birthday celebration for my dear shepherd, Cheryl. The birthday gal cooked for us and we had a good time talking about our first impression of her. As usual and always, we had a great time.

Happy Birthday to the one and only unique and special Cheryl :) My dear friend, sister and shepherd. You're a great inspiration!

Another year older, a year of living in the light of the Lord,
A time of changing, a time of growing,
A time of learning to use His Sword

Maturing more as the days go on,
Telling others what Christ has taught you,
Touching hearts as you travel along,
Living love - we can see Him in you.

A miracle is working there in your heart,
A new beginning, He changed you right from the start,
And now you know that there is no turning back,
The grace of God you will never lack.

You're a picture of what our great Redeemer can do,
When you walk in His love, you make an excellent view,
You are changing on the inside, it's really plain to see,
Like a stranger to this world - living for eternity,
Committed to our Saviour, you are resting in His hands,
He planned your future long ago, before your life began.

Oh, delight yourself forever in the living Lord,
Wait on His gracious love and receive His Word,
Taste and see how good our God is,
He is awe-inspiring and His name is Jesus!

He is your refuge when your times get tough,
His provision will always be enough,
Your steps are directed by the Father of lights,
Trust fully in Him, your future is bright.

Shine out, my friend, and show them the way,
Light up the darkness, hold the shadows at bay,
Free the captives, as Christ has freed you,
Tell others the wonders of what our God can do.

Praise God and live a life pleasing to Him,
Lift up your voice and let your heart sing,
Seek the Lord's guidance and live in His will,
Come before Jesus and learn to be still.

Though this life seems so hard and you may fail sometimes,
Get on Hind's feet - there are still mountains to climb,
When you reach the highest peak, there will be joy without end,
God will say, "Well done, My servant and friend."
