Jesus Changes Everything
I was cycling back to home from 888 Plaza and I saw the banner that reads "Jesus Changes Everything" outside Woodlands Evangelical Free Church. It makes me ponder. Indeed Jesus had made everything different for me now. In my past, everyday was like the same to me, nothing new everyday, waking up, do blogging, do housework, went to work and so on.
But after I had experienced the miracles of transcendence and life changes (the miraculous water bath) after Jesus came to me everyday is different to me. Everyday is new and everyday experiencing changes.
Life is so blissful watching my plants growing well, my children growing well, my cat staying close to me everyday and my mother is healthy.
Video of mass at church of st mary of the angels, singing I am the bread of life
This easter sunday I recorded the hymn sang at the mass, a meaningful song that Jesus had told me "I am the bread of life".

Char Kway Teow (炒果条)
First time tried Penang Fried Kway Teow at Great World when I went there on 28 March 2024. I find that it was too dry and salty. I only like the prawns and beansprouts. I never managed to finish the whole plate of fried kway teow. I prefer the Singapore style, wet and sweeter ones.
Its quite hard to find Fried Kway Teow at my place now. Recently the one at Woodlands Mart also closed down already. The one at Causeway Point was not that great. At Marsiling Mall was too far. But recently I went Marsiling Mall again and I saw new stalls. Some of the old stalls selling Fried Hokkien noodles and Fried Kway Teow had closed down. So this new stalls selling Fried Kway Teow, Fried Oysters, Fried Carrot Cake and Fried Hokkien Mee was not bad. I like their Fried Kway Teow, Fried Oysters and Fried Carrot Cake. The Fried Hokkien Mee I had not tried, but Ricsson tried and he did not finish it. The chilli was too little and it looked very dry to me.

My Teeth
Since last year, I had been having dry mouth. My teeth was painful when eating and also when not eating. It caused lots of pain when eating food. I did not know what was the reason and I thought that I had diabetes since I feel thirsty. However, blood test shows that I do not have diabetes. The doctor just asked me to drink more water. So I went to Chinese doctor, Ma Kuang TCM at Causeway Point. I had the chinese medicine for almost a month, and the physician asked me to go back to the western doctor. So the doctor referred me to the General doctor at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
Last year September 2023, I went to 888 Plaza, First Impression dental clinic. The dentist was a locum and she never even do a thorough check on my teeth and she just 'refer' me to the hospital. I asked her for a referral letter, she said I need to book appointment myself. For that 'advice' (consultation?) she said I need to pay $10. So from that visit, I did not go back to any other dentist. I just need to take good care of my teeth.
Isaac said that I brush my teeth too hard. He also had problems with plaque and the nurse need to clean for him. So in January, he came across an electrical toothbrush, Aquasonic Power Toothbrush.
Beautiful Woodlands
Two days ago, I was cycling along Woodlands towards Admiralty at night. Then I saw the lightings over at Admiralty. I already knew about the event, the 'Pasar Malam' at Admiralty some time ago, but that was in the day time that I used to pass by every time. However, two days ago, it was the first time at night that I cycled over to Admiralty, and I saw the beautiful lightings. I didn't know that Woodlands can be so beautiful!

Gardening
Gardening is my hobby. Every day when I walk to my garden and see flowers at my plants, I feel so happy. Besides the above Seven Stars Needle Plant, I also have curry leaves plant (Murraya koenigii), money plant, Mexican petunia or Ruellia simplex, ferns (Nephrolepis exaltata), Money plant (Epipremnum Aureum), Basket/ Corn plant (Dracaena fragrans), Arrowhead (Syngonium Prodophyllum), Mother of thousands or Mexican hat plant (Bryophyllum daigremontianum), Water Jasmine (Wrightia Religiosa), Plyscias Balfouriana, Oyster plant (Tradescantia spathacea), bougainvillea, chilli plant, butterfly pea plant, Papaya plant, clover (Oxalis corniculata), cactus, cotton plant and Adenium obesum (福贵花).
Recently I sold some plants and this give me more motivation to grow and propagate more plants. I bought lots of soil from Shopee and Lazada. When the buyer wanted to buy my plants, I gave them the good nice ones. If they are not so healthy, I gave them a cheaper rate. When I sell them my plants, I gave them pots with so much soil as compared to the nurseries, where they gave half pot of soil or sometimes three quarter of soil.
My Yam Plant
On 17 March 2024, I went to this house to take the yam plant. The owner gave up on this plant. From a plant with several foliage, its leaves were by then left with only two. So I took over the plant. I pushed my trolley there and collected it at Khatib. I was very careful when placing it in my trolley because I do not want to destroy the leaf. The owner had told me that she bought this Yam plant last year only and it was just like that as seen in the photograph above. She did not do anything to the Yam plant.

My Family
It's five years since we are divorced. My family consists of the 3 children and Taco now. I had accepted and living very well without him by my side. I have Taco to keep me company. And I have 3 wonderful children.
The little hand that I hold has now become bigger than mine. Isaac's hands are bigger than mine and he is even taller than me now.
I believe I am in the next stage of my life. My children are grown up and I had reached menopause. The photograph above was taken on my birthday. The children helped to make the cake. Clara baked the cake and the other two helped to decorate the cake. I am so blessed to have 3 perfect children. I am always learning new things again from my children too. I am having some health problems at the same time. So my focus now is on maintaining a good health and to live a meaningful live everyday.

Files Storage Solution
Ricsson suggested that I buy SSD, Solid-State Drive. I searched on Lazada and the price was around $200. Ricsson checked Amazon and it was cheaper. So he ordered and bought for me the above SSD and it arrived in just a few days, very fast delivery.

Surprise Visitor
On 25 November 2023, Isaac came to my room and told me that there is a blue bird in his room. Watch the video here. I was so excited and when with him to check it out. Wow, the bird looked so nice and this is such a beautiful bird as shown above! The bird was not scared of people at all. When Isaac put his hand near him, it did not fly away too.
The bird stayed for very long and after that it flew away. It is said that the birds came to deliver good news. And perhaps it is true. In December, I got an offer for a new job, and Isaac got his new bicycle this month. I also have my new computer this month too : ).
Jesus never fail to give me surprises. He is constantly watching over me and helping me in my life.
The little hand that I used to hold has now grown bigger and stronger than mine!

Handsome Taco
Taco is 2 years old now. He is so handsome and cute. Taco is just like human being. Whenever there are new things at home, he is always so curious. He would come to explore. When I bring home new things, he would try it out too.
My first encounter with Taco was at Singapore Carton. Over there, there were two kittens, one grey like Dora and the other one is Taco. I tried to catch the kittens and my first catch was Taco. I actually wanted the grey one like Dora, but perhaps that was fate. Taco was the one that we caught in the end also.
Taco is just like a gift from God also. We prayed that we could go home with a cat and we did. The baby Taco is now adult Taco. And I am so glad that Taco is my companion now. Initially, it was the children who wanted a pet. Then we got Dora. Then now we got Taco. The first time Taco came to the home, Clara and I bathed him. After that, Isaac wanted to help and we both bathe him together. Now, today, since his adulthood, I bathe him for the first time, and it was very smooth. I don't get scratch and he did not struggle that much.
Recently Isaac bought a Canyon Bicycle and Taco joined in the fun. He was with us all the time when the children unbox it and he was as usual, going inside boxes whenever we unbox parcels.
Every morning, I fed Taco can food. Some morning when I woke up late, he would come to my bed and woke me up. He even 'kiss' me for maybe two times.
I never like cats when young and never even thought of having cats. But I love keeping cats now. They are so independent, and they don't any how urinate or poop. He would do all his business in the litter box. Every morning, I need to sweep the floor as the litter would spill out from the litter box. Sometimes he also vomit on the floor. At times, his poop would land outside of the litter box too. Other than that, Taco is a very clean cat.

New Computer
I am cutting the cake which was made by Clara
I am very happy with my current life. I am very blessed. My son had made me a new desktop computer. I am able to do blogging once again. The above picture was me cutting the birthday cake which was made by Clara. The three children helped to decorate the cake. It was a wonderful birthday. On that day, I was 52 years old! I gave birth to Isaac when I was 38 years old. Now, Isaac is 14 years old!

Amazing Grace
This is me singing amazing grace...
Today is my father's third year death anniversary. I took leave to attend the prayer that I had booked with the priest. At first my mother told me not to come here today because I need to go to work. However, I dreamed of him one morning. I realized that I had to come and see him. I don't want to miss a session of prayer to him.
Today, the priest asked us to choose a hymn. Johnny chose amazing grace. I thought it was a beautiful song and i could sing loud. However the moment I began singing the song, tears swelled up in my eyes. I could not control my voice also. I controlled my tears and I had to sing to myself instead.
The lyrics for Amazing Grace...
