God Will Make a Way - Don Moen

Proverbs 3:6 - In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way.

By a roadway in the wilderness, He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today.

God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way

New School

I have been transferred to a new school by Mummy today. It is a Montessori based and I am told that it would be more suited for my learning personality.

The Montessori method is a child-centered, alternative educational method based on child development theories originated by Italian educator, Ms. Maria Montessory (1870–1952) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Montessori method of education is characterised by emphasising self-directed activity, on the part of the child, and clinical observation, on the part of the teacher — to stress the importance of adapting the child’s learning environment to his/her development level, and the role of physical activity in the child’s absorbing abstract concepts and learning practical skills.

What Is A Mother? - by Kathering Nelson Davis

A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,

To love us, whatever we do,

With a warm understanding and infinite patience

And wonderful gentleness, too.

How often a mother means swift reassurance

In soothing our small, childish fears,

How tenderly mothers watch over their children

And treasure them all through the years!

The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness

For any mistake, big or small,

And generous always in helping her family,

Whose needs she has placed above all.

A mother can utter a word of compassion

And make all our cares fall away,

She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter

And make life delightful and gay.

A mother possesses incredible wisdom

And wonderful insight and skill -

In each human heart is that one special corner

Which only a mother can fill!

Mummy, can you relate to this ?

Happy Birthday Mummy :)

Mummy turns 40 today (notice the big 4 in front) ... heh heh ...

To celebrate she pampered herself with 2 gifts (i repeat, two). Firstly she bought herself a pair of sandles which can normally cost RM30 a pair but she had to get it from Modern Mum http://www.modernmum.com.my/ and paid 5x more for the average price. Talk about being prudent in spending. Neng-ngu will surely say she lacks economics education.

Correspondingly with PC Fair 1-2009 http://pikom.org.my/cms/General.asp?whichfile=PC+Fair+InfoCentre&ProductID=22461&CatID=12 still on-going, she decided to get herself an external portable hard drive from Maxtor http://www.maxtor.com/gb/hard-drive-backup/external-drives/basics_portable.html at RM225 and claims that it's a good buy. But Papa has reminded her that she usually under-use her technical gadgets and eventually forgets about them !

Well Mummy, I hope you will put your gifts to good use and earn more $ to help buy my neng-neng and apple juice :D

Here's wishing to Happy Birthday again and good health always !

Happy Birthday to you 2x

Happy Birthday to Mummy

Happy Birthday to you

Blessed Easter Sunday

It's Good Friday today.

Matt. 27:45-54 (NIV)

From the 6th hour until the 9th hour darkness came over all the land. About the 9th hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah."
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!"

Matt. 28: 5-8 (NIV)

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said.

Have a blessed Easter Sunday coming up.

Are You Insured ?

Today, April 7 is World Health Day - http://www.who.int/world-health-day/en/ As such it reminds me if you have topped up your insurance coverage ?

Papa got me covered when I was a month old. He buys insurance from Uncle Joe (a financial advisor from Prudential Assurance) http://www2.prudential.com.my/corporate/mainpage/mainpage.php and was recommended that I should get -

a) life + medical insurance

http://www2.prudential.com.my/corporate/life_products/pdf/brochures/pmmp_eng.pdf

b) education insurance http://www2.prudential.com.my/corporate/life_products/pdf/brochures/pep_eng.pdf

When I got the KD http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/heart/kawasaki.html 2 months later, I thank God that I was could claim for insurance coverage. Both Papa and Mummy were thankful to God for insurance helped cover 90% of the hospital bill. It was a 5-figure amount.

Many times we have read in the papers that folks were caught off-guard as they could not settle their hospital bills and it is just a really dreadful feeling. And hospital bills are mounting each year as the cost of seeking medical treatment is getting more and more expensive. It is said that medical expenses are rising faster than the costs of any other services.

Do good to yourself and go get an insurance plan for yourself. Be sure to get one attached with a Hospitalization & Surgical Plan !

You can check out what's being offered by the local Insurers. Scout it out at the Central Bank list of licensed insurance companies http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=13&cat=insurance

Happy hunting ...
