haircut

haircut was such an annoying moment for most of kids, including my Joice. She hates having a haircut, so one day we decided to face the 'nightmare' by taking her to the kids saloon, the saloon understand and provide things to overcome those cranky children who hate to have a haircut ha ha! anyways, she also refused to sit on a car chair by herself so her dad put her on his lap and he was also covered with cloth hahahaha it looked like father was also had his hair cut. then i asked the person to turned on the hello kitty dvd, she sat nicely and even had a hair blow wow! it worked.....

before, i took her to a regular saloon, and it was kind of embarrassing. Joice would cry very loud and she ended up throwing up at the cloth, and everybody in saloon would stare at us. i didn't care of those eyes though, i just thought this shouldn't be like this, haircut should be fun, right???? having someone taking care of our hair while we are relaxing. anyway, i post this picture so we are all can remember the first time of haircut time without any trouble...heheheheheh good job, joice! she got a cup of baskin robbins afterward :))))

and look....who is enjoying the toy car ride so much....

just a thought

everybody struggle with her/his health condition, either sometimes we catch a cold or we ill and cared in hospital. whatever condition that we have, we need to be grateful to God. He knows what is best for us. i trust God fully and always give thanks for his caring and love to my family.

mu uncle Johan is very close to us, to me in particular, i knew and closed to him since I was very little. he used to come to my house and spent time with me and my brother. He is loved by every nephews and nieces. since he is the youngest uncle in my mom's side, he is always young and like to tease us all.

in 2004, he got nasopharinx cancer. we were all so shocked, and all we thought was nothing, we never had anyone in our family who got cancer. it was a new thing for us to face and cope. it wasn't easy of course and we had nothing to expect except getting help as much as we could and treated well.

after chemo and radiation, he was well treated and being "cured" for a while. he ate much and kept his lifestyle healthy. but God has other thing, his cancer came back now at 2011, after 7 good years. his son is in college now, daughter is in high school. everybody could accept it with greater heart and ready response. he had to undergo another series of chemo and radiation. doctor is not responding very well this time. another chance is having treatment and checking at singapore. his ENT doctor suggested that.

so here I am searching all over friends, relatives, and internet, to find good doctor. i have hope. a BIG hope should i say, he is only 53 and I believe, if we try more maybe God also has plan to him.

whatever happen now and then, i really believe that God put his hands to my uncle. he has a good plan for him and his family, so what we do now, is supporting him in all times and be encourager for him.

God, I know that once again you know whats best for him. Please be with him through all this hard condition, and may your name be glorified after all.

Joice is in N2

Joice is going up the ladder, she is in nursery 2 now. new class, new teachers, buat same old friends from nursery 1. she has learnt many things from n1 and now ready to grasp more knowledge in n2. I can't imagine that my little baby girl now already in school and she's so independent that i even forgot how did she behave when she was a baby ha ha.

we wish that you don't only gain more knowledge of lessons but also about God, Joice...

Her time in school will be much longer and i have more time for myself in the morning, either with Moses, or being online in starbucks. anywhere I am, i can't wait to pick her up again from school. whenever she's in school, I miss her much, and can't wait to bring her home. even I realize that one day her school hours will be longer and longer, so I just can only see her at afternoon....

I'm thinking much about going back to work, but when I see my children, I don't have any guts (should I say) to go out and leave them with my mom...I'm too afraid of loosing my time with them and I love them even more day by day..so children, mama will always stay next to you until all of you go to school until 2pm everyday he he...
