More Than Words

I am a believer in saying "I LOVE YOU" I think this 3 words is not used enough. But then, action speaks louder than words!!! My little Princess K & S, I remind myself everyday that saying I love you is not enough, especially when you are so far away from me.

I chose to love you with action and not only with words. But, during this period while we are apart, I really hope you accept me saying "I love you". I promise I will act it out as much as I could with any opportunity that I have.

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words

Sister's Dancer

Keisha has always been a girly- girl. She likes pink, long hair, wearing dresses, make-up, glitters and all things you can think of what girls would like.

For Serenity's birthday, her present to S is - DANCE. She requested for a streamer set, and she looked up dance steps in youtube. Learning from the clips, choreographed and performed for her little sis, Serenity on her 6th birthday.

I always appreciate gifts which money can't buy. We always say "it's the thought that counts". In this case, it really is. She took the initiative, the time to practice and most of all, she dance with love for Serenity.

Keisha, I am always amazed on how much affection and love you have in you. You are always thinking of others, making others happy and feel good. I am so proud of you my Princess K. Keep it up..... " Giving is better than receiving"

Ready to Learn

This is what I am talking about. My Princess S ROCKS! She got an award from school again. This time round she is being awarded as "BEING READY TO LEARN!" That is the attitude I have been talking about in my last post about her. She aspire to learn.

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!

Summer day

My Princess K is A-O-K! I visited her last year in September and she was trying to ride a bike @ The Salmon's (our host during our stay in Auckland) without training wheel. She did not have a lot of time to practice since everyone was trying to have a go.

A month later, this video was sent to me.... Brilliant!

Romote Control

A friend just posted this on her FB and is cracking me up... LOL.... LOL....

"I think this remote is broken. I've pushed pause, power, sleep, mute, volume, nothing works! I don't understand! I'm pointing it right at the children!:)"

As parents our lifestyle changed tremendously, it started from the day the baby is conceived! This little bundle of joy changes the parents physically (applicable mainly only to mums), mentally, financially, no more coffee, tea, cold meat, seafood etc etc....in fact the world actually changes from round to square and back again......if you know what I mean.... the change is HUGE!!!!

I have put away my remote control for almost a year now. Every now and then I still use it via the phone, or internet. Reminding them gently that parents have super powers, though I can't see them.... but somehow I know what they are up to (it always creeps me out and wonders how my mum managed to do that when I was young).

The thing is, as a child I never understand why I can't have all the freedom I want and to do the things I love. Why are my parents (and my older siblings)always pointing the remote control at me. Instructing me to "mute", "pause", "play", "standby" and so on. Now, being a mum of 2, I finally understood the remote control is powered with love. Every time a button is presses, it's out of love.

Power on parents.... Make sure the remote is fully charged, so that when you point the remote at any of your chid... it channels love more than anything else :-)

Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Princess S 6th Birthday

Serenity first birthday celebration without me.....

Looking at her reminds me of how blessed I am and at the same time how much I took things for granted. When it comes to learning, I get to pick and choose... I complain when things don't go my ways, I murmured when things get a little tough. But, for my little Serenity, she has to learn to be independent, to survive, and to fit it.......above all these, she does it with joy!

She has come such a long way; every growing process for a child that comes naturally is a task to her. She needs to be taught every step of the way from drinking, lifting her head, rolling over,sitting, crawling, standing and walking. My Serenity conquered them all!!!

She is now 6,I really can't believe it.She is able to do all the above plus running, kicking a ball, putting puzzle together, even talking (still more like baby talk,but she is working very hard),singing and dancing. Through all these years, with all these tasks that she is learning little by little; with lots of patient & perseverance, she never, ever give up. She is such a strong little girl that she will always try first before even allowing anyone to help.

She celebrated her 6th Birthday with family and friends in NZ, first a party @ McDonald's then ends with Nana homemade cake at home. Looking at the photos, I am sure she is so very proud of herself and so am I!

I love you my dearest Serenity... Jia Yu in everything that you have your mind set upon. May the Lord keep guide, lead and preserve you for His kingdom.

When I see you again.....

To see you again after so many months in person brought me so much joy. When I arrived at Palmerston Airport, my eyes went straight to the waiting lounge and hoping to get a glimpse of you. I could not find you, I was anxious and started to wonder how I might feel when I see you again.

I saw you walking through that automatic door, my face beamed with joy. The smile on your face, I will never forget. That smile, it's speak so much. It tells me you are as joyful as I am, how much you have been missing me and long to see me and be with me. It also tells me of your love to me.... I can't help but cry when I held you. I was telling myself not to, because it's suppose to be a very very happy moment. I love you too much to be away from you for that long.

The hardest part of you not being around me, it's not only how much I am missing you.... but also because I am not sure how you feel about not living with me anymore. I almost did not give you a choice. All I did is let you know that this is the best solution for us right now. It's almost I have chuffed this on you and I am sorry...... if this is against your will.

It's has been a trip I walk every single day... asking myself if I am making the right decision for letting both of you go.... even it's only temporarily. I know I will be missing so much! I am so sure when you are with me, I might not be able to make you feeling happy every moment of the day; but I am sure I can make you feel better when you are not having a good day!

I miss having you around..... having you talking to me non stop about your day, about your friends, about what you have done, I miss every little bit of things about you.

I LOVE YOU.... please always remember that
