Third Week of Year 2021 ( Be Present)

Be Present There are not much works in the office, I had a plenty of time in my hand. However, it doesn't make me feeling good when I'm idling, browsing social media without purpose and the worst is I make a lot of carelessness mistakes in my work. I guess it's on Wednesday that I fed up with myself, why am I so careless and not paying attention to the details. My multitasking skill is like two swords, it can be helpful sometimes but it can be a hindrance. I decided to be mindful, to be present and do one task at a time. When I am free, instead of idling and browsing social media, I decided to deepen my fitness knowledge by taking a free course. I feel good when I use my time effectively. I guess the lesson learnt this week is to be present, to be mindful and to do one task at a time.

Get Fit together (13 Jan 2021)

This is our first edition of getting fit together after hybernating since Covid starts. We are committed to have regular exercise together once a week for our couple time. We run for about 5km around Marina Bay and had dinner at Satay by the bay, it's a good bonding time as we release all the stresses after work.

2nd Week of year 2021 ( Live in God's rest)

After a hectic week, there's a calm over the storm. This week I was able to clear up my works, have more time for myself, my kids and family. The challenge for this week was basically to find photographers for our website in a short period of time. However, God provides, I received a few quotes and He guided me to choose the suitable photographer and the results are satisfied. I had a hard time teaching my second one especially Chinese, however it's resolved on weekend when his mood is back and we have good bonding time learning together. From the whole episode of these two weeks, this picture reminds me to always stay close with God no matter what happen. So when the storms come, we are still be able to calm and trust God. The further we are from Him, the more anxious we are when the storms come since we will rely more on our strength and understanding.

First week of 2021

I would say the first week was a hectic week. Many things happened not according to my plan. It started with the kids's first day of school which I forgot to check their uniform and shoes and ending up they were not prepared. Not only that, many unexpected tasks came almost at the same time. My multitasking skills are like two swords. During those period, I managed to handle and solve the problems on the other hand I didn't feel that I was in the presence. My brain was working every second day and night even my dream was so sporadic. Fortunately, I could find some peace during that period. Morning prayer helps to calm me down and give me strengths and grace. In the beginning of the year, I was prompted with the word "Grace" with the quote from bible verse  Eventhough I am not sure what's the meaning of that, after a week has passed, I realised that God gave me a daily grace so that I was able to do His will. When things come beyond my control, I pray and surrender...
