Pak Pak and Mug



Found Charis' teddy bear 'Pak Pak' (means 'white' in cantonese, we name her bears cos she has more than one. =P) sitting on the dining chair with Charis' straw mug.

Can you guess what's happening here?



Charis decided to give Pak Pak a drink. =)

As they grow



Here's Charis at a little animal petting enclosure. We could walk among the sheep and goats. There were ducklings, chicks, chickens, rabbits and a pig. Charis was trying to pose for a picture. Look at her keen attempts to smile =P She had a good time talking to the sheep (She walks near to them and says 'baa-baa' to them) and trying to pull goats' ears. Just look at the little gal at the right bottom corner. She hugged every sheep and goat she saw! Animal lover #1. =)


Three little gals with their books. Ok, ok, I made little Naomi look like she had something to do with the book. =P Just for the picture.

Here you see Chloe, the diligent, focused primary school student, and Charis, the class kaypo queen. Naomi? I can't quite tell yet. Just look at her sweet innocent face!

Mother's Day Video

Daniel, Mitchell and Justin, 3 young people in church came up with a Mother's Day video and it was screened in church last Sunday. A few mums and a dad from church also took part in the filming and photos of all the mums in church with their kids were submitted to make up the rest of the video. It was a surprise for me cos apparently, Roger kept it a secret and submitted the photos without my knowledge.

The video brought laughter and tears of joy. And for those who have been a part of cornerstone north, who knows the kids and the mums, this will be more meaningful for you.

The video will be here for a limited time only. Enjoy!

Just a side point

I don't like vetting Roger's Greek exegetical papers.

More than half of what's in there is not English...

Shelved Babies

During Principal's Hour every week, we would sit at the foyer of the auditorium in SMBC listening to the sermon. At the foyer are stairs leading up to the library, and last week, guess what these cheeky monkeys have been up to.

Zoe (left), Charis and Felicity (right) climbed up to the top of the stairs to the entrance of the library, and Aaron decided to put Zoe into the pigeon holes meant for bags. The rest were similarly shelved. =)

Sorry that it's a poorly taken shot, Roger took the shot with his not-so-flashy mobile phone.

Yet another song!

Will there ever be too many? =)

Sang this in church today. So apt as I was rostered to teach the little ones (0-4 year olds) today, and the lesson was 'God is always with us'. Let us sing this with joy. =)

Immanuel
By Michael Card

A sign shall be given
A virgin will conceive
A human baby bearing
Undiminished deity

The glory of the nations
A light for all to see
That hope for all who will embrace
His warm reality

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

For all those who live in the shadow of death
A glorious light has dawned
For all those who stumble in the darkness
Behold your light has come

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

So what will be your answer?
Will you hear the call?
Of Him who did not spare His son
But gave him for us all

On earth there is no power
There is no depth or height
That could ever separate us
From the love of God in Christ

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel
