Goodbye!



I had wanted this blog title to be "Between Then and Now". I had wanted to chronicle what had happened to me between February and now, June. Then, I realised that I had to stop blogging. Simply because I no longer can afford the time to blog. It was not a difficult decision. The frequency of my blogging has become like that of Chinese New Year visits, only once a year.

It is fitting to have a farewell post then, and also to justify why I no longer have the time to blog. We welcomed our third child, Ju, to this world on 6 June 2011. She looks just like En, just a more petite and lighter version of him at his birth. She has more hair, is demanding when it comes to feeding time and makes tiny cooing voices when she hears the musical toy hung on her crib. The brothers really love her. They are excited when she cries. Yi will tell me that "Mei Mei crying" upon hearing her wails. En will remind me that she is hungry and that I should feed her (bossy isn't he!). They like to kiss her when mummy is nursing Ju, or pull at her mittens or try and tickle her tiny wrinkled feet. They like to carry her. No longer than 2 seconds afer Ju is placed in their arms, En will plead with me to take her away for he is afraid of dropping her. Yi will simply let her head drop backwards (since her neck is still not strong to hold it up) and smile happily, unaware of the poor sister's neck and head posture. In between feeds, I will be reading to the boys, singing songs with them. Today, we pretended that my bed was the school, they were students, and I the teacher. Apart from feeding Ju, playing or reading to the boys and diapering Ju, there really isn't much time for anything else!

I turned 33 recently. Thank you dearest husband for the very lovely pot of flowers! :) I count my blessings from God, 3 lovely children! By God's grace, I started my own practice. Its small but I will commit it to the Lord to help me take it as far as it can go. Well, how will I have time to blog??!! I think I will just stick to reading facebook comments for de-stressing. Its never quite the same with facebook. I mean who will read this super long entry? But I guess it will have to do. May God help me use my time wisely in the days ahead. Goodbye readers. Goodbye blog. Can anyone print out my entries and have it bound in a journal? Please let me know. :)
