Little piggy went to work...

My little 'piggy' (Ian) went for his work orientation today...he had to leave the house before 7am to avoid the traffic. I got up to make him breakfast and packed his lunch...

The little piggy forget his lunch...oh no, he's going to be hungry when he comes home!!!

Time to exercise...

Been back for just slightly more than a week, we have been eating Panda Buffet, Home Town Buffet, Dim sum and steamboat during Lunar>>> New Year...i think is time to exercise!!!

Last Saturday, got up early (no choice, jet lag still) we decided to try out this exercise class - kettlebell. Whoa, it looks easy but i 'threw my 'white towel' after just 10 minutes; I sat out for the rest of the class while Ian battling with his muscles.

The next day, we couldn't move...our muscle ache so badly and I only did less than 10 minutes *poor Ian*. The ache lasted for the next two days...

On Monday night, Caleb wanted to give kettlebell a try (apparently it sound fun to him) and Ian joined him *definitely without me*. Even gym fanatic like Caleb found it tough...phew, Im not that bad *no, he didn't give up like i did*.

Ok, no more kettlebell, let's try YOGA then...The whole room was filled with Yoga-enthusiast and me & Ian just manage to squeeze in. It was actually fun and do-able *for me more than Ian this time*
Well, at least I get the exercise regime started again...

Blessing in Disguise...

Skype home on the eve of Lunar New Year and been informed that my dad hurt himself while trying to 'fix' the refrigerator which should be thrown long ago; a rather unfortunate mishap on a supposedly happy day. A mishap or godsend?

Perhaps for my mum & family, this 'accident' is inauspicious but I believe there's a divine purpose for the happening. What if a bigger mishap would happen if he wasn't hurt? Maybe my dad realise the love from his wife (sometime it takes a mishap to realise what you have around you)? We can't see it, we can't guess it but we just gotta trust that God knows best (He see what we can't see ahead) and He's in control...

"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." I just pray when trouble comes my way, I'm ready to take on the 'challenges' with the right attitude (FAITH).
