Drey's Thankfulness: a little more abt me

a little more abt me

I guessed I’m still pleasant looking with braces and without make-up. Everyone in the office loves to smile at me, visitors like to know my name and contractors would be able to find out my name somehow… I smile generously to pple when they look at my direction, revealing my ugly teeth.

I’m so tired today, sleepy. I feel as though I haven slept the whole night or insufficient for many nights… National Day comes quickly… *yearning*

Let me update you on my interesting weekend.

=======================================================================

I spent quite a bit of time cleaning the house on Friday night. I did laundry so that Hus can wash his army clothings when he’s back, and washed the toilet too. I got up on Saturday started to clean the house thoroughly. Vacuumed and mopped… I always think a man would love to come back to a clean house, cos my dad loves a neat and clean house.

Hus came back in late morning; looking exhausted cos he slept late having fun with his army friends since it’s the last night of the reservist. But he was nice to take me out. We had lunch at Ikea, then went to beach road to buy a new dive toy, then to IMM, then to Tiong Bahru for dinner at Raja Inn.

It was a long day, but a nice day.

====================================================================

Hus and I dint make it to the 9am service at AOG, cos we woke up late. I went to FCCS alone, it’s good to see the turn-out for the new Sunday school…

Very encouraging right? The kids liven the church a lot, it’s always good to see new faces especially children. This is going to be hard work for the Sunday school team, as FCCS hasn’t been very encouraging in starting new things. Do pray for them.

i still haven get all their names, will keep you updated...

The sermon was a little lengthy, which I believe it’s the church trend already. More often then not, prayer is long, introduction of the message is long, the body is long hence the conclusion is also long. So is the translation and the announcement. The loh-so church! *bleh*

===================================================================

I stayed for lunch after church, I dint lunch with FIL. *So filial of me* I dunno why I have very little to say to FIL now, I know that he’s lonely and I would love to be nicer to him. He has lost his wife and having no thoughtful daughters is kind of bad. So I hope to be a nice and filial DIL, but I’m so scared of him telling me a million things that Hus might have forgotten to do.

He usually has thousands reminders for me to repeat to hus at home, I’m afraid of being deemed a nag by Hus. *coward* Adding on, he will repeat to me the dos and the don’ts when it comes to home-management… totally throw me off my feet.

Okay, I’ll meet FIL for dinner this Friday after my driving test, even if I failed it. I thought of buying him dinner if I passed but since I suddenly feel so guilty, I shall let him buy me dinner if I fail. Haha, no lah, just to spend some time with my nice FIL. He’s a really nice FIL but only he favours my BIL more, so sometimes I feel uneasy for Hus.

====================================================================

Jan, Mag, Con and I left church together to do some girly stuff. Ladies love sweet treats…so we went Gelare at Plaza Singapura for ice-creams and waffles. *slurpi-licious* nothing feels better on a scalded tongue on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

After the lazy tea-break, we couldn’t think of the next better thing to do. So I suggested Facial treats at my house. Then we got some skin food, and headed to my place…

wee! Girls love good skin ;)

We had a good time of fellowship, we chatted and know more abt each other. Masking was fun…

They all fell asleep while waiting for the skin to be nourished… I did some chores while the guests rested and cooked dinner.

After the skin is nourished, the body is next!

My Sunday ended with not much speaking to Hus. He reported to the computer
soon after he got home, then the TV, then the bed. No time for wife again...

About Him

He's my Hus... Drives me crazy... We got married in Dec 2006 after a year plus courtship. A smart ass... A lover and a friend. An instructor and a mentor. He big time diving fanatic and a responsible worker. A patriotic soldier who's always on the ball, a good friend and a terrific sergeant that will go to the extent of packing men's bag. This guy loves his family and places them in top priority. Dependent on the God he was taught to fear by his Mum, very mindful of rights and wrongs. A very determined man which sometimes can be interpreted as obstinate; can be quite hard to work with. He's a big fan of TV, and sleeps with a grumpy look. Likes neatness but often fail in keeping things in place and tidy. He's surely gonna be my main character in my blog... so this list might be a good reference... Will update this from time to time.

About Him

He is borned Feb 23 2009... A good easy to handle baby so far. He's started teething around 5 months, his 1st tooth appeared on 6th Aug.

My Sister, Janna, consider him a "beginner stage, easy and 5 lives" type baby-gamers' lingo.

As he is a boy, he's very active. He can scream quite loudly. He loves the water. He loves taking baths. He sees his Papa as his toy, totally loves playing "catch" with Papa.

At 2 yrs 3 months, we're taking him out of diapers slowly. He's still in those when we're out or we're sleeping. But when are at home, he's in shorts and he now correctly identifies his pee calls and says "pee pee". He can do that for poo long ago, he signalled by "ng-ng". Probably, 1 yr 10 months.

He's still an easy little boy. Obedient and has a strong moral compass in him. Thank God for that. Terrible 2s is so not applicable to this animals lover.

His sentences now:

"Thaddeus eat myself"

"papa, watch (video) please.."

"papa wok (work)"

"papa, air-con please"

"Thaddeus eats is-kate (biscuits)''

"mei mei wait... pee pee"

"mei mei cry... mmm mmm (with gestures of cleaning tears off his face)"

"mummy, rice"

"bal-toon (balloon)"

About Her

Little Kayla; borned on the 7th July 2010, via elective C-section.

A little quiet (almost silent) character usually, keep her away from mommy, she can yell to her max. She can be quite demanding. She's already fighting for attention and toys with Brother Thaddeus at 8 months old. She also can wave goodbye around 8 months too.

She started crawling at 9 months; clapping, said "papa'' ''mama'' but not at the right people at 10 months. Stood up with support at 10months 2 wks; and able to transfer from crawling to sitting.

She walked at 16 months, she goes to school at 18 months and changed to another school in 2015 (age 5).

She's a sweet little mommy's girl. She wakes up every time I leave the room and gives me millions of hugs and kisses. She's never quiet since 3 years old. She's the heart and soul of our house; she cracks us up as much as she drives us crazy. A tiny little girl who has a will bigger than the sum of all of us at home. A challenging strong-willed child loved by us, gifted to us by God.

Why this Blog?

I always like to keep journals, because I wanna be reminded of things that has passed and forgotten; this applies to especially nice things. This blog is really not so much about being an open book and telling the blogging community about my private life. I do need an outlet to say things when I wanna say it and when people around me are not in listening mode. I usually get better after letting out what might be bothering me. By doing so, I will soon get over and probably forget the episode and I would be able function normally after writing. I had always preferred writing to talking, since I’m crippled in expressing my feelings of sadness and excitement; but I feel a lot… I used to keep diary but my hand-writing has deteriorated too much. And I couldn’t put pic for memory. I tried book-scrapping, but the tools I used to share with elder sis are no longer at my convenience since I moved after getting married. Adding on... Should i die suddenly, my love ones would have something to refer to? I'm afraid some of them might never know that i've always regarded them with this much of respect and love. I would appreciate your comments/advice when you will be able to encourage or help me. Sometimes, I think in circles. Sometimes, I dun know how to think/act/feel according to gender differences, during these times, I might even get depressed. Will the people who might be able to help this oxymoron , advise… Lastly, I think this will help me get by the emotional baggage that I might act on Hus sometimes. That even during the days when he upset me, I would still be able to greet him with a smile after his long work day. Students, pls DO NOT write the way i write if you're a frequent reader of my blog. I doubt this is acceptable in formal writting... and this isn't good english... ok?

A Wife of Noble Character (Prov 31:10-31)

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool & flax and works with eager hands. She's like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it's dark; she provides food for her family and portions food for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She see that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hands she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instructions is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
