As I promised, I will have my say on my Heavenly Father...since Father's Day, I've been thinking...there's just simply beyond words...my Father who is yours too:) - He is...WOW...do I have enough words to express...if only we could understand a little more of his great love each day...Don Moen's song became my prayer and contemplation...
Think about His love, think about His goodness
Think about His grace that's brought us through
For as high as the heavens above
So great is the measure of our father's love
Great is the measure of our Father's loveSo great is the measure of our Father's loveHow could I forget His loveAnd how could I forget His merciesHe satisfies, He satisfies, He satisfies my desires
Think about His love, think about His goodnessThink about His grace that's brought us throughFor as high as the heavens aboveSo great is the measure of our father's loveGreat is the measure of our Father's love
Great is the measure
Great is the measureGreat is the measure
Great is the measure of our Father's love
Great is the measure of our Father's love
Can we ever measure his love?
You and I have been loved. Just give it a thought.

He's ever so youthful looking.
People thought he was my big brother in my growing up years as he faithfully took me on his bike to school, brought me food as I stayed back after school to study and do revision.
I loved those days when he worked in an established hotel. Mum would take us to the lobby and wait for him to finish work. He would proudly introduced me to his colleagues and guests. The certain pride of a father could be felt. After work, it was always supper. Food has been an important part of his life. Dad eats all the time. He knows every corner in town to get the best of everything. He doesn't like to travel - says the best food is in Penang.
He's the filial son.
The loving and faithful husband. You cannot imagine how many times he calls mum everyday:)
The strong father - no nonsense.
The watchful brother - he guards and cares for his siblings. Being the middle child of 5, he fathered his youngest sister with his utmost best till she was married very late in life.
The generous grandfather - always lavishing gifts upon his grandchildren, and going all the way out to meet their needs.
A kind friend - to all he meets, he will give a smile. And I grew up witnessing generosity - he pays for those who dine with him. Not that he's rich but to him, it's an honour.
He toiled. He taught us. He gave all he has and still giving...
He has his flaws (who doesn't?)...but I stand to salute him for who he is and all that he has done, and still doing...I am sure God is pleased and is smiling at this son of His.
(Dad enjoying fish spa - a delightful moment. Find out in GEMS)
In honour of the man who lovingly provided for the family and raised us - my Daddy, the ever loving, kind and generous man! I LOVE YOU.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!
To my Father in Heaven, I also have my say...will keep for the next post :)

Dream A Dream!
Hope is a waking dream...
Another dance project the girls were involved in...a three months' work by 23 young people with different needs and abilities. Organized by BOLD Association for Children with Special Needs, Penang with the support and collaboration of Disted-Stamford College, Ramakrishna Home, and Shan Children's Home, Penang.
A wonderful project aimed to promote creative arts and dance as medium for expression, communication and development for young people, providing an inclusive environment for children of different backgrounds and abilities, an opportunity for them to explore their dreams, and being empowered to yield their creativity.
Song Presentation
Presenting their dream..."The Enchanted Forest"...
The dance
Three short films by the kids were screened following the live showcase.
I love this project as it wasn't just another dance piece...children were given a chance to explore their various artistic skills in an inclusive environment; and definitely a character building block for my own girls as they learned to work with special needs and shelter home children.

Finally, he took his first steps this week!
Two days after he turned 1, he took one step - all by himself. That's it. Ah Ma has been commenting boy very slow la...girls seemed to have faster headstarts. Hmm, she was a little impatient. This week while she babysat Ashton while I went out, the lil' boy made her very happy. She witnessed his first steps. And announced to us when we got back. Then the cutie pie proudly showed me 7 steps and beamed with a big smile...then clapped his hands! Ooh...so cute...the sisters were so thrilled at this milestone.
And...as for me, fourth round mothering...I am still as excited as I watched my baby grow.
