Things that go bump in the day and nite


As your tummy gets bigger your sense of balance, wit and humor seems to lose a little perspective. It does not help that i am usually already horizontally prone haha. Err am i making sense? Someone called this the "blame the belly" syndrome and many prenatal books say that it is rather normal for one to lose their balance and memory even after birth....hmmm. Well hopefully this is just short term for me ;P

Well i have finally gotten around to packing. Well sort of. I realize i
still have tons of winter/spring wear to wash and have divided into piles the clothes in the store room. I found myself looking at a pair of pants and wondering if i would ever fit into them again..haha i know I must be positive .

Gotten around to saying "Goodbyes" as well. Someone mentioned that our church in japan is like a revolving door. Someone is always coming and going and i think one of the things i would miss most is my church over here. In many ways i have come to think of it as an extension of home. There are so many role models that D and myself hope to grow into. Men and Women who love God, those who are wise, good mentors and loving Christians. Shall miss them all.

We had to say good bye to a friend who had been coming to Musashino Chapel for 13 years. She is going back to UK or rather has gone back this week. I had a good lunch with her the other day and she told me, she too was going to miss the pace of life over here. Yet she is excited to see what God has planned for her over in UK. Anita we shall miss you!

Grace our little student friend from Church will be going back to states soon too. Her mum is staying with her now and we had a great time with some other students last friday, err attempting to sing. She is one of the exchanged students i have come to know and love over here in japan. Her life is inspiring, she is wise beyond her age and yet there is such humbleness to the greatness. I believe she will go one to great things.






"@Plates (Hiroo) with Grace ;) , Roast chicken was so yummy."

As i go into my 26th Week i can`t help but get excited. With each kick and punch i start to imagine how this little dear will look like? What would his character be like? We pray he would be like Noah- Obedient to God, Wise, Righteous yet Peaceful, Loving and Creative :) No matter we will love him :)


Will Baby look like me?































































Or like David above with posing in black and white before his "2nd chance debut" and being a cheeky boy on his bike ;P


"Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;

it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the 10 stringed lyre.
Sing to Him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.

For the word of the Lord is right and true;
He is faithful in all he does,
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea into jars,
he puts the deep into storehouses." ~ Psalm 33: 1-7


What a beautiful Psalm, We wait with joy and anticipation oh Lord for our blessing ;)

Back from The Sea and this Week of Praise

yummy sushi
White beach breakfast area
Beach in front of Hotel
What a Weekend!

The drive to Izu was about 4hours but it was worth it to soak my feet into the cool waters and pearly white sand. Our friends invited us to the opening of their chic little hotel by the sea. The original hotel was built in the 1970`s, reminisce of the old corridor and doors to the room kinda make for the retro place ;) I have more picture of the lovely BBQ dinner of steak, seafoood and greens and the room but have to upload later on sorry..hehee

Before our drive we had gone to see the Dr S and he told me and David that we are going to have a baby boy.;) Hee hee i even saw his little thingy..hahah. Our baby is doing so well and growing well, God be to Glory and i am already praying for a smooth labor.

This week we had Francis and Jocelyn here with us. We played "Taboo" 1 of the nights and i laughed till my belly hurt ;) Its wonderful to get to know them better and to see D look so happy playing ,play station with his brother. And me cooking with Jocelyn proved to be lots of fun for the both of us ;)



Was God amazing that HE kept them safe from the Akihabara Killings. A man had killed 7 people randomly at a cross junction near the shopping centre that Francis and Jocelyn were at. God is so good truly.

They prayed for us before they left and i realy think we are going to grow even closer in singapore ;) Its wondreful to have another brother and sister.

dinner time
tonkatsu and fried fish and ika

Praise the Lord too for my mum`s health, the results were negative but the doctor said that the larger lump would have become cancerous if it was left on my mum. Once again God has proven to my mum that HE is real and i just know that she is so close to believing. It seems her new company is doing alright and i hope it keeps her happy and that her health would get better.

She and my sister just knew that we would be having a boy ahah so no surprise there ;)

My dad must be happy too, when I called him he thought i had given birth (just like him;p) I hope this time when we get back to sing i will be able to have a "real" relationship with him. I believe i had made some bad choices such as not inviting him to my baptism and not giving him a present at my wedding ( all you people getting married , honor your parents at your wedding , you only have one set you know).

May the Lord give me strength and wisdom to talk to him.

Speaking of Fathers. My D- the best Father to be, received his 1st Daddy`s Day gift from moi. I gave him a starbucks tumble with my own art--err i will up load the pic of it next time. I truly believe that God will guide David to be a wonderful parent and that we will go through all things together (meaning even the painful labor)

Happy Belated Father`s Day to all Father`s and Father`s to be ;)
