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!  

Hoh Law Corporation at Woodlands Branch

For 2 months I went to work at Hoh Law Corporation at Woodlands Branch.  I worked as a Customer Service Officer there.  It is basically a receptionist job.  I love the job and it was a simple job.  I answered phone calls and attend to customers' needs.  I got to meet many customers, helped them with queries and fixing appointments.  I helped the paralegals to do payment vouchers and some errands too.

Unfortunately, due to home commitments, I had to resign from the job.  In two months only, I took almost 9 days of unpaid leave.  That was too much to take for a staff.  My boss, Bryan was such a kind boss.  The best boss that I had ever encountered.  On my last day of work, the lawyers gave me a small gift.  

NTUC gift card from Bryan and Zhane

This was the first time I received such a gift card from someone.  On that day, I went to Causeway Point as usual to buy dinner.  As I need to go NTUC to buy groceries, I saw Durians.  Just happened that there was offer and I bought Durians on that day.  I felt relieved that my busy schedule was over, but at the same time, I missed such a wonderful job.

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...

All the words for the song was so meaningful to me.  The priest told us that my father was physically not present but he is still alive.  It is our faith that can assured us that one day we will meet again...

Looking for Taco

 

What is Taco looking at? (Photo taken on 12.2.2023 around 6.30pm)

Yesterday was Valentine's Day.  I went to work and when I reached home, I was surprised Taco was not at the gate.  Normally when I went out, Taco will always wait at the gate.  So I went to my room and put down all my belongings.  Still, Taco was not seen nor heard.  I quickly asked Isaac for the whereabouts of Taco.  

We searched for him and finally found him in the basket.  

The last Saturday, I had adopted some religious figures from the church.  I brought home as shown below, St Anna teaching the virgin Mary statue.  The colour was faded and peeling off.  Some parts were broken too. I repainted it the next day and put it at my altar.

Taco is with me for almost a year soon.  I was very anxious when I could not find him.  I hope he will always be safe and have a good health.

Eat Yusheng

Taco went to the dining table when he smelled abalone.

Taco eating abalone

 This Chinese New Year I ate Yusheng for three times.  The first time was from 834 Eating House.  I ordered it and brought home to eat with children.  They forgot to give me the abalone.  So that night, we ate the yusheng without abalone.  

The second time and third time, I bought the yusheng box from NTUC.  I bought the shredded carrots and opened a can of abalone(given by Johnny).  

Taco smelled the abalone and he loved it.  This was the first time Taco had yusheng with us and also first time he ate abalone.  He ate so many pieces of abalone.  

The second time which he ate Yusheng with us, I opened another can of abalone.  This time I prepared a plate of eight abalone for him.  He ate them all!  And he still wanted more!
