Sick

Been sick for the last week with body aches, flu-like but not quite a full blown flu.
It seems that work demands are piling up just when I am sick. I think it's due to insufficient rest from doing night duty with Nathan. Not that I do all the feeding and cleaning at night, but everytime he wakes up, I have to as well.

I hope that I'll get well soon so that I can be all rested up and ready for the upcoming trip to China. Really excited and looking forward to that.

Bon Voyage Yong Fa

Sent YongFa off this morning at the airport for his 3 month tour with Continental Singers. Funny that there were only 3 guys in the group of 10!! ;-)
Have a good, safe and blessed trip YF. We'll all miss you, especially those who have to take over your shifts at work and in church :-(
I'm sure that special someone will miss you even more....hehe

Anyway, here's a picture from my camera phone. Not great, but hope you can make out who was there.

Army Open House

Finally got to spend some quality time with Matthew today after all the fuss over little Nathan's birth and stuff. Matthew's been so interested in the army, mainly because he learned to play those first person shoot-them-ups that I play like America's Army, Operation Flashpoint, Medal of Honor.
We went to the army open house at Safti this afternoon after all the coverage he saw on TV over the weekend. I am sure it will make an impression on him. Don't know if he will ever consider a career in the army.....hehe
I'm sure he had fun though, being able to handle his favourite weapons, sniper rifle, grenade launcher, sub machine gun and also got to ride in the Bionix, AMX10 and 13, FH2000, LG1 etc.
It was a rainy afternoon though, so got a little bit wet and had to spend some time hiding in the canteen to get out of the rain. Spent a bit of the time at the computer based simulations too. He's really into it. There were no computers when I was his age!! Certainly a different generation.
He didn't want to leave and he was so tired after the whole experience!!

My first blog - Matthew and Nathan

This is the first post on my new Blog!!

Thank God for little wonders. Nathan is 8 days old today. http://nathan.chua.com
He never stops to amaze me, changing everyday. He looks so much like his older brother Matthew,4

but I pray that he will develop his own identity.

When I look at little Nathan, I am overwhelmed by this sense of all things new. There is so much potential in a little baby, the whole life ahead. I wonder what he will become? So innocent now. I can only pray that God will direct him to lead a good and God-centered life. We will do our part as parents of course.

Dear God, help Matthew and Nathan grow up to be the boys and men you want them to be, giving glory to you. Help Li Soon and me make the best of the time we have to shape and influence them. We commit them to you Lord.
Amen.
