Home-cooked Meals

We have been eating out most of the time after we sent our domestic helper home one year ago. Recently, we started to cook again over the weekends cos we are sick of eating out. Though we both dread washing the dishes, we would still want to make an effort to prepare more home-cooked meals in the coming days.

By the way, I know my pasta was not very nutritious with the hot dogs and ham but at least, there was broccoli!

The Shoe Affair

This pair of shoes was bought during our vacation in Hong Kong almost two years ago. It has been my favourite pair ever since. I could wear them and stand for long hours without feeling any discomfort!

A pair of good shoes is essential! I am looking forward to visit Hong Kong again and hopefully, I can grab at least two pairs from this shop! ;p

A Day Off

I took a day off to accompany Megan to her school outing this morning. I am thankful for the good weather and glad that Megan was rather well-behaved. My 'parent duty' ended when we returned to her school at 2.15pm. Though sweaty and tired, I felt good that my presence has made a difference to my little girl's day.

Anyway, I had lunch at 3pm - delicious but not-so-healthy maggi goreng from Seah Im Food Centre. I even had time to do some shopping and visited the dentist before I picked little Megan in the evening. :) I love off days on weekdays!

A Pleasant Surprise

Today, I was blessed with a bowl of mee siam from Maxwell Market and a cup of homemade soya bean milk. The mee siam was ok but the soya bean milk was very sweet. The lunch came as a pleasant surprise from a colleague whom I am not even close with. It's like God whispering to me that He loves me in the midst of all the busyness this morning. He is ever so sweet! :)

Cotton On

After registering the girls at Sunday School, I went shopping at Cotton On as I had around 30 mins to spare. Honestly, I seldom shop at Cotton On but I felt prompted to take a look. In the end, I bought four causal tops at $55 (desperately needed them cos I still cannot fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes!). Apparently, there was a promotion and it would be ending today. I received a $30 gift voucher for spending a minimum of $50! Such a good deal, isn't it? Thank God for putting me at the right place and at the right time! :)

Badminton

Last month, my husband and I finally took out our Wilson badminton rackets from the storeroom after many years. We had to change the grip tapes on the handles before we could use them again. Thankfully, we had them easily replaced at Queensway Shopping Centre for merely $6+ (for both rackets). To date, we have played badminton twice. I must say it's a good start to a more active lifestyle. We should move more and eat less! :p

Ultimately, I know health does not come by exercising and having a healthy diet. My family and I will walk in divine health cos Jesus has paid for it on the cross. By His stripes, we are healed! Amen!

Disney On Ice

I took part in a contest by Mother & Baby magazine and I received a sms today that I have won four tickets worth $236. Praise the Lord! :) Our last Disney On Ice was in 2008 (before Megan was born)! I am sure the girls and I will enjoy the show come March 2012. Praise Jesus for my first tangible fruit of the year!

Twelve Cupcakes

Recently, I have a craving for cupcakes! Twelve Cupcakes is my favorite at the moment cos their cupcakes are petite and moist, very yummy! The shop is located at Millenia Walk, very near my office . Even my mom likes the cupcakes and gobbled up 4 of them!

A Christmas Present

This wallet was a Christmas present from my hubby last year. Though I don't really like the design, I am thankful for a loving husband who likes to give me surprises. I guess God made us different in many ways. He likes surprises and I am more down-to-earth. I prefer to choose something I really like.

This wallet is still nicely wrapped in the box. I promise I will use it one day.

Milk & Honey

I have never imagined myself starting another blog but I am glad I did. This blog is dedicated to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I intend to capture little moments of my life as a beloved child of God and not so much on my two precious princesses. If you would like to read about my princesses, please visit my other blog.

I titled this blog 'Milk & Honey' cos the name is cute and it will remind me that we are in the land flowing with milk & honey, a land of abundance. Thank God that He found me in Novemeber 1997 and my life has never been the same again...
