Darling Buds: October 2014
http://darlingbudsof.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 6 October 2014. The Lesson on Patience. This morning, I took my baby out with our helper to make a trip to the library for some printing work. The library was not opened and its server was down. We ended up having a long, lovely walk in the park where I spent lots if time praying for my husband. Lord, I feel frustrated that things are not moving the way I want. I am so worried but I trust that You will help me finish my work with success. What would you like me to do now instead?

Darling Buds: September 2013
http://darlingbudsof.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 1 September 2013. About go to to bed after hearing from my husband that he has just safely landed in Singapore. We have had a lovely weekend together exploring the neighbourhood, visiting interesting pubs and restaurants, and walking by the seaside. When we view marriage simply as a duty, we are tempted to put a chip our our shoulders and think that whatever we do, we do it for 'my spouse's sake', or 'the sake of the marriage/children' etc. And it is so easy to become self-righteous and pride...

Darling Buds: Let God plan your family
http://darlingbudsof.blogspot.com/2014/09/let-god-plan-your-family.html
Monday, 15 September 2014. Let God plan your family. Recently there has been a strong desire in me to conceive a second baby, and have more than two children. I discussed it with my husband and he feels happy about it. I remember that Jesus was questioned by some about paying temple tax. Our Lord asked one of the disciples to pick up a fish, and found a coin in the fish'a mouth. He then gave the coin as temple tax. Lord, I commit our marriage, our son, our family and work to You. We also surrender ou...

Darling Buds: Meditation: Mother Mary with the unborn Jesus
http://darlingbudsof.blogspot.com/2014/05/meditation-mother-mary-with-unborn-jesus.html
Sunday, 4 May 2014. Meditation: Mother Mary with the unborn Jesus. Yesterday, my husband and I wanted to pray in front of the Blessed Sacrament. As the chapel was closed, we ended up praying in front of the grotto. My husband asked me how I felt praying to the statue of Mother Mary where you cannot see Jesus, I replied: "Why, Jesus is always with Mary. He is inside her womb, otherwise she would not be able to trample upon the serpent.". Does Baby Jesus get enough food? The world is a fallen place, and da...

Darling Buds: Joseph the Adventurer
http://darlingbudsof.blogspot.com/2014/09/joseph-adventurer.html
Monday, 1 September 2014. And two days ago he showed Daddy he had learnt how to play music in the CD player. He always opened it and took the disc out so I thought I might as well show him how to play music. And he proved not only to be a fast learner, but also a music enthusiast as he wiggled and grooved to the music! And then yesterday he discovered how much fun a bucket can contain as he saw Mummy poured a bucket full of ice water onto Daddy's head! Labels: Joseph; moments; CD player; feeding; bucket.

Darling Buds: Value of time
http://darlingbudsof.blogspot.com/2014/09/value-of-time.html
Monday, 8 September 2014. Deep down in me there is a fear of squandering away free time that is hard earned by my husband, and not being a proper mum. There is also confusion as to how I should structure my life as it has been so baby-centric in the past year. What am I to do with the free time? How much free time should I be entitled to? I can only imagine the magnitude of empty nest syndrome experienced by parents once their children have become adults. I feel displaced and disoriented even now. Let Go...

Darling Buds: November 2013
http://darlingbudsof.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 4 November 2013. Our son was born on October 20! Two weeks have passed since in a whirl. I still remember how my husband and I had tears welling up at the same time while we heard the baby cry for the first time as he was being delivered through C-section. Life has never been the same then. Having been a professional writer/communications consultant, I have had my fair share of achievement. However, truth be told, I have never felt prouder in my life than when I first successfully burped my.
