A good message ...

I like this message on my friend's profile page on FB...

On this day, God wants you to know...

... that difficult people are very important, - they teach you tolerance and acceptance. If all was going your way all the time, you would become a spoiled child, wouldn't everyone? Difficult people are just one of the ways God teaches us to expand beyond our egos and accept other perspectives on life.

Jacob Graduated from TELC!

I can still remember clearly Jacob's first performance when he froze on stage! His teacher had to send me a CD of his rehearsal to show me how well he could dance.

Time flies and 5 performances later, Jacob has become a seasoned performer who does not make any mistakes on stage. I was nearly in tears when I saw he came on stage in his tuxedo. So handsome!!!

I felt very proud of my little boy when I watched his performance on Friday night. At the same time, I also felt sad that we will be leaving this special place that has groomed him well.

I want to say a BIG thank you to all the wonderful teachers at TELC.

Thank you for giving the children a strong foundation for Primary one.

Thank you for all the performance opportunities at Mediacorp.

Thank you for believing in Jacob!

Happy Birthday Michelle...

Michelle

I kept thinking about you today. Every time I look at the date, the image of you comes to my mind. I saw birthday reminders on Facebook and my phone. When I was selecting photos to print today, I came across the pictures of our wonderful KL Genting trip. I still remember your nagging about the lousy Genting hotel and the scene when you asked me to help you scold Julian when he refused to stop his tantrums.

I was talking to my ex-boss just a while ago and he was sharing with me his pain of losing his first dog. He told me he prayed very hard that he did not have to make the decision of putting the dog down. That reminded me of the day in the hospital when you failed the brain stem test. I also prayed very hard that your family would not have make the tough decision.

I think of you every time I drive past Mount E. Those chit chat sessions we had in the ICU still brings a smile, and sometimes tears, to my face.

If I cannot stop thinking about you today, it must be a much tougher day for Sean, Kristy and your parents. I pray for God to grant them strength through this difficult time and hopefully, they will eventually find comfort in the Lord like you did.

Happy Birthday my dear....
