Charlene is here...

my dear friend comes back every once a year....Sunny has two cute kids. this one is Charlene, she's almost four, she only speaks cantonese and english.

We spent some time together...

next year, these girls will look much different and they can enjoy and play more with each other :)

Eating by myself

yup...eating by myself especially when we eat outside is started to be a habit for joice...

she would ask for a plate, spoon, and a bowl of soup...

then try to spoon her meal from her plate...

good job, joice....! we are so proud of you

background story: I train her to eat pudding by herself at home...I still have a headache if i see rice or soup are spreading around the house, so i just let her to eat pudding and yoghurt by herself to practice how to 'aim' to the perfect position (her mouth he he he)... she has started to train herself since she was about 1,3 years old. now i think because of those training, she manages to put her spoon correctly to her mouth (of course sometimes she spills rice or pudding on the floor :) )

Sunday School

sunday school is always a fun time for Joice!

akhir-akhir ini Joice lebih banyak 'dilepas' di dalam kelas..which means I just sat in one corner on a chair then I let her to go sitting with other friends or near the teacher. i let her to be more independent..at least she tries too :)

sometimes she walks back toward me but sometimes she looks so enjoying the time and forget for few minutes that i'm not around her..many times, she still makes sure that I still sit on the same place and watch over her....(its the matter of age I think..) she's not yet 2 years old,so she still wants me to accompany by her side :)

anyway, because I don't really need to always sit with her, I was able to walk around and took some of her pictures he he....but for some motions for singing or during story telling I usually sit next to her and try to make her more focus to the Bible story....as one of the children under 2 of course she actually does not really pay attention to the story...somehow after the sunday school time is over, on the car, I would ask her some questions about the story and I could see some of her understanding toward it...like about Jesus' disciples, I asked her Yesus punya 12 mu.....then she was like trying to answer rid. ha hahahaha

I believe God has His own special way to touch every kid's heart...I try my best to introduce and explain to her about the knowledge of God, but God do the rest. As long as we try our best and pray for her, I believe the word of God will work in its own way to touch every heart....

last few weeks...

Its almost the due date!

Everything has been prepared well but somehow I still feel I'm not well prepared anough. There's always something that needs to be done. Even all baby's stuff has been washed and put neatly in the rack, I still feel, oh dear God, please help me and strengthen me...! :) a little panick comes to me sometimes. Its not about the process of delivery but its about joice too. I'm so afraid that wheh I need to go to hospital,my mom hasn't arrive yet to my house, and I don't want to leave joice alone,also I'm afraid that Calvin hasn't arrive too,so I'm going to face this all alone....I know that I won't be alone because God is always with me, I shall not fear anything...but because of human weaknesses,those unimportant things sometimes strike me in the middle of day or night :) so silly...

Last night I felt pain in the bottom area of my belly, thought I was going to give birth he he,but I knew its just false contraction. Still I kept thinking about those panick moments that I'll face later ahead...

So I just pray to God and ask His help to give me more faith and courage. My faith looks so small at times... :)

Dear Lord, please take care of joice too so when the time has come, she's also ready to welcome her dear brother and can sleep tight when I'm hospitalized.

*huff....few more weeks to go....
Little baby boy is in the birth way already...he could come anytime when God says,its the time!!

I don't look really fat actually, just my tummy is really sharp and round (typical of conceiving baby boy...*people say)
I gain for total about 18 kgs actually....its 61,4 kg now.

with papa...he he he

a morning...

one morning...after we woke up, i rushed to the toilet....

joice was alone in the room, she shouted; aahhhh...

and i said, wait, joice...mama is coming...

a few more minutes, ahhhhh (again)

i went out from toilet, she's already in this position
(look! baterai telpon pun sampe keluar...) jadi ternyata yang masuk ke kolong adalah tutup baterai, mau diambil ga sampai, mau keluar, tapi stuck di tengah..wahahahaha..

Last Sunday....

joice's papa was having something important to work, but i really wanted Joice to go out and play he he....so kung kung and pho pho were willing to take us to grand indo

Ada satu playground yang lumayan bagus, bersih, dan cocok dengan umur Joice. the price is cheap too...

Joice was playing for an hour...keringetan dan baju basah semua :) she played for one hour. full ga brehenti, cuma stop untuk minum lalu lari-lari lagi, my tummy was so big. i am in my 34th week of pregnancy.... thank God ada pho pho yang temenin Joice lari dan ajakin main... he he...i just stood outside and tried to take as many as pictures, tapi susah banget, Joice nya mobil terus....lari sana sini,
