Singapore 7th President….
Just came back from the Singapore Consulate-General office in SH after casting my vote for the 7th President of Singapore. God knows best…may the RIGHT man wins!
Feeling sad….
In the car, on the way home after picking up the kids, I saw this…
A Chinese man was on a motorbike. A dog, pretty big dog. I am not good with the different breeds. It looked like a smaller version of an alsatian. The dog was chained and the chain was attached to the motorbike. Yes, it was a chain, those thick metal chains. The rider was dragging the dog along. The dog was in agony. The big chain was pulling down his head, his legs could hardly moved. I was angry, I was sad, I was wishing the dog would gather enough strength to give him a good bite!
What is so great in a place where the hearts of men are down in the drain!

A deafening silence…
Summer vacation has come and gone. Kids are at school, the spouse at work. Oh, this deafening silence will have to get use to it again. It is back to me, my little cottage and my duties. Sending kids to school, marketing, running errands, getting dinner ready, finishing all that needed to be done so when the kids are back, they can have my time…
Alone but never lonely.

It's a curry day
Some background to this wonderful day of curries. Cook a pot of curry
To show my solidarity, I too cook, not one pot but two pots of curry together with tumeric basmati rice.
Sedap! Delicious! 好吃！

A game of chess
I learned to play chess during summer and got thrashed twice by my wee little six-year-old princess, Ann. Oh, how embarrassing but you know something, I love this game! It is about getting yourself into the right position, sizing up your competitor and see them fall one by one. Great strategy game.
We had an old plastic set which was almost 10 years old. Went out with the kids and bought this for S$20+. Neat, isn't it.
A good friend from USA was in town for business and Ann had a game with him too but he proved too strong for her. However, she got precious tips from him. Anyone game for a challenge with mighty Ann now?

Today…
Bringing the kids to school in five mins! Another brand new school term and their final school years in SH! Meeting new friends, new teachers…some will be old familiar faces, it will be so comforting to meet them again. The kids so look forward to it. Busy time for me again, preparing Kai for his final year in primary school. Here we go……

Trusting Him
Has been pretty anxious for the past months. Some issues at home have been pretty unsettling and always sitting at the back of my mind. Some people seek peace in Yoga, some meditation, some in temples. For me, I have always turned to Him. Some are skeptical…"religion is religion, what relationship!" If you have come across such a person, my advice to you is don't try debating with them. You can argue till the cows come home, they will still insist they are right. The best is to LIVE it. *wink*
The issue was so big, it will take a miracle for some form of intervention to happen and miracle did take place.
In the midst of this situation, I was reading a book "Growing deep in faith". How timely. The author wrote, "He is the God of the Already". Meaning, He already knows, He already been there, done it and He already has an answer.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isa 55:8,9
耶 和 华 说 ，
我 的 意 念 ， 非 同 你 们 的 意 念 ，
我 的 道 路 ， 非 同 你 们 的 道 路 。
天 怎 样 高 过 地 ， 照 样 我 的 道 路 ，
高 过 你 们 的 道 路 ， 我 的 意 念 ，
高 过 你 们 的 意 念 。- 以 赛 亚 书 55:8,9

Good-bye to another one
Another neighbour goes home. Yes, like what I said, no matter what, this is only a pit-stop not our home. I have met a Singaporean family who has lived here for 15 years and still eventually goes home. No matter how good this is, it is not home. No matter how bad that is, it is still HOME.

Pixar comes to Shanghai
Yes and the spouse was very nice to take time off to bring the kids to see the exhibition before the summer vacation ends.
Sorry, no pictures from the exhibition itself because no photography was allowed. I don't have the habit of doing sneaky jobs on people's art. Caught a couple of them snapping secretly. Sometimes, we must learn to respect others' works. If you read the information given, it takes plenty of man-hours just to do one finished art. Kai was once again inspired!
