In the midst of packing and decluttering to get ready to move out for our major renovation project, we decided that we would visit Perth, Australia for our family holiday. Yeah. Talk about living life on the edge, huh? Best time to go to Perth Australia? We had been thinking of doing it for a […] Read more…
Renovations!
When we first moved into our maisonette in 2005, we could only afford to do up the three toilets and kitchen. We just thanked God that the previous owner barely lived in it so the floor and wall tiles were in good condition. Then we re-painted the entire flat and moved in. We had only […] Read more…
PSLE again!
PSLE again! Just because David did well, everyone assumes Sarah will too. But every child is different. Every child has different interests, bent, personalities, quirks, etc. And just because they have the same teacher (me) it is no guarantee that all of them will have similar results. Every year presents different family dynamics and circumstances. Read more…
Chided
Nothing like a crisis to make us go down on our knees and cry out to the Lord. In the midst of my crying out to the Lord for healing and relief from the itch and pain, I thought I was hungry for God. But I was actually only hungry for His healing power. I […] Read more…
Repenting of Pride
Slightly over a year ago in June 2011, a spot of rash appeared on my left index finger, even as my then 11-year-old dd struggled with full-blown eczema all over her body. The speaker at our Church service called for those who needed healing and I pushed her forward. The spot on my finger itched […] Read more…
Tuition
Yes, our homeschooled children go for tuition classes. I am not embarrassed to say it. Tuition is a tool and a resource in our homeschool. We use it to learn the HOW of answering questions so we can score full marks. I am not willing to have marks deducted just because we did not follow the structure required by SEAB, our exam board.

A Story in Pictures
Eczema is a beast. But God is greater than it. It took about 2 years for my skin to be almost clear of all the rashes. I have done and tried many things. But God… It is He who healed me. No, I am not 100% clear. But I know I will be. All praise to Him. He still heals today. Be encouraged those of us waiting for a full restoration of health. Don’t give up on God! Read more…
Man Does Not Live by Bread Alone
But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 For those who know us and who have been following my blog for at least the past year, you would have already known that the battle with […] Read more…
The High Price of University Education in Singapore
According to the article, “How to fund your child’s education”, in today’s Sunday Times (12 August 2012), we would need S$36,000 for a 4-year, non-medical degree now and S$55,218 in 20 years’ time. And if the child cannot make it into any of our local universities or wants to do a course unavailable locally, a 4-year, non-medical US […] Read more…
Burn fat not carbs
I subscribe to the Dr Joseph Mercola‘s newsletter. I don’t always agree with his point of view or the way he tries to scare people and oversells his products 😀 But he does offer an alternative view to conventional medicine and treatment. One of his recent newsletters had Mark Sisson of Mark’s Daily Apple guest […] Read more…
