Annual foster party

We had our annual foster parents party yesterday in Downtown East....talk about a misnomer. Aint nothing "Downtown" about that place. So darn east, we're almost in Indonesia leh...Yah, I know people say Singapore is so small that you can drive from Tuas to Changi point in 45 minutes (30 minutes if it's me driving, 20 if it's Lewis Hamilton) but that place is really ulu....I think that was about my 2nd time ever in the place, and believe me, I won't be back in a hurry. Too crowded! Anyway, the theme of this year's party was Love beyond Boundaries, and we were forced by the tyrannical head of the foster party committee to wear ethnic clothes from any other ethnic group but our own....Ah well, here are the pics for you to see if we look like typical civil servants....

The other side

How is life different
From the other side?

When two become one
Do hearts really unite?

Do we just drift
Searching eternally?

Or are we just flotsam
In the brimming sea?

Questions, always asking
Answers, never coming

Yet we keep on going
Until Him we see

And then our questions cease
All our answers are known

And life becomes different
On the other side

Dioyk at 4mths

This is the latest picture I have of my beloved Dioyk at age 4mths....He's growing more like a real person everyday, as opposed to a mouth that needs constant feeding...No, I'm not being heretical, he's the sunshine of our lives and the reason that all the stress and frustration of the day melts away when I step home and see his cute little face....

We're celebrating his 5th month tonight....yah yah, he's the most celebrated child in Singapore....but children are such blessings, so we must always celebrate and give thanks to God!
