That One Particular Ambition...

If I honestly ask myself, what have ever crossed my mind when it comes to dreams and ambitions?Well, I have been changing my "dreams" for so many times. Sometimes, I thought I wanted to be a homemaker, sometimes... I thought maybe I liked to sing, the other time, I thought I wanted to own a business, some other times, I thought I just wanted to support my hubby in whatever he wanted to do...

But yesterday before I slept, something came across my mind, something that had consistently excited me. I was imagining myself looking after babies and talking to pregnant mommies and I dont know why, out of the blue... I checked my friendster account (I think i have never heard of friendster for almost a year) and in my profile I wrote I wanted to have a day care centre.

And that was exactly what I wanted to do when I finished my pre-U. But because my parents didn't allow me to study in Montessori, I forgot about it.

When it comes to helping pregnant mommies or mommies with babies, I am full of passion!

Aiks OK, Keira is bugging me now... got to go....

Hanoi Trip

I just came back from the staff retreat in Hanoi... At first, I imagined about the beach or at least a place like Taiwan... but surprisingly it's almost like Medan T.T just that the weather was cold...

The traffic was crazy, there was no one way street i guess. the motorbikes and cars came from all directions. People were walking on the street in the midsts of the bikes, it was scarier than Medan.

This is the furthest trip Keira had ever been so far. She enjoyed the weather, she loved cold weather. I loved bringing her around too... she was such an angel when we were on the plane to Hanoi, but when we travelled back, she was so restless and she wanted to play with Eitan all the time!

In the whole trip, she refused to sleep. She wanted to go out. She loved to play with Tan Tan.. She called him Tay Tay... and Tan Tan will say "No.. it's Tan Tan! not Tay Tay!" LOL... I took the opportunity to let Keira wear the bee and ladybug costumes that I bought in Taiwan last Dec.

It would be the last time Keira wore the bee costume, cos it was a lil bit too small d...

It's a good year to start with :) Now it's time to work hard before Chinese New Year comes.

2nd trip without Keira - KOREA

this is my last day in korea...

it's a great experience. first time in korea. first time in a snowy country. first time being defeated by weather. first time waking up at 3.30am to attend morning prayer meeting.

... the snow that covered the branches of the trees..... snow on the xmas tree.... snow on the streets... and on the rooftop... snow falling from the sky... oh i so love the view... and btw it was snowing so heavily when we landed. it has never snowed like this in korea in at least 100 years.

the main purpose of this trip is to visit yoido full gospel church. we attended their morning prayer meeting, mid-week service, and we are supposed to visit few places like their tv station, the hansei university etc... but i only managed to visit the prayer mountain. the reason is... sigh... i'm sick throughout the trip! i had terrible flu one day before flying to korea. and it got worse here cos of the weather.

it's so amazing how the members of the church love to pray. they can spend hours to just pray! personally, i know i have to buck up! it's a wonderful thing that i've seen with my own eyes. the weather is about -10 to -16 degree in the morning, but the hall is packed with people. oh btw, the hall has the capacity of thousands of ppl.

i got nosebleed the night after i came back from the prayer mountain, it was so bad, there was blood all over the bed sheet. scary. so... i stayed in the room most of the time during 2nd and 3rd day.

i still wanna come back here, probably during autumn or spring? do you know that my dream is to go to UK and see the Big Ben! anyway, i wish i can say next week i'm going to UK but... next week we'll be flying to Hanoi for staff retreat (hanoi is also a good place la hor?). this time round i'll bring keira along, hopefully she wont be fussy during the flight...

alright! i think it's time to say good night, we'll leave to airport at 8am tomorrow. bye bye Korea!!
