Happy Mother’s Day

Felicia — Sat, 12 May 2012 02:03:31 +0000

Just got a messge from a friend that I just know recently and seeing the message I wept.

I don’t know how to say, but I know that you are a wonderful mother.. If Jesus can deliver a message from heaven. “Thank you mum, you are wonderful and amazing. I love you. Happy mother day. Thank you for remembering and love me as I am”.

Dearest son

“Rainbow Baby”

Felicia — Tue, 08 May 2012 08:16:37 +0000

A rainbow, the beauty that comes after a storm and a symbol of hope, is a description women lovingly use for their babies that are born after a miscarriage, still birth, or infant loss.

For women who have experienced a loss, conceiving a “rainbow baby” doesn’t make them forget the loss, take it away or diminish it, but it does give them hope for a new chance at motherhood.

Seeing this, I wept, how’s true…

Is this fate, destiny or God’s will?

Felicia — Fri, 04 May 2012 08:18:41 +0000

I went for a schedule blood test today and met a nurse. She did my blood test last year and yet surprisingly she still remember me. So she ask me how am I. I told her I did conceive last year but lost the baby thereafter. So I went for a 2nd IVF, failed and now back for the 3rd try. Guess what she say to me next?

Can I pray for me?

I was shocked to hear that, I told her I converted to christian because of that and now you say you want to pray for me. I agreed and inside the small room, we prayed briefly. To me, she felt like an angel sent to me. I was still crying last night wondering will I have a happy ending. My friend had pre-eclampsia during pregnancy survived and had 2 children now. Other had similar scenario like mine but have 2 kids now as well. I see people posting their pregnancy picture happily or upload ultrasound images on Facebook.

When will it be my turn? Or will I have my chance at all? I prayed last night to ask God to give me a sign or a signal so that I can turn to Him for hope and miracle. Is this the one?

Sales and Leadership Mastery - Blair Singer

Felicia — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:43:48 +0000

This course is really highly recommend!! Why do I say that? If you are wondering you are stuck in your work, life or business. Think again. A friend of mine was complaining to me about losing her customers beginning this year and whining that this year is bad luck for her. What did I tell her? I lost my baby, my health, my business and money all in 2011. Am I complaining? Are you better or worse?

I have to pick myself up and start all over again. That is why I took up this course to bring myself back into life and in the momenturm again. Something that I lost while I was pregnant. What is my obseravation from this course?

1. People fighting to voluteer (Untypical of Singaporean especially ladies)
2. Results instantly immediately (I actually earn money while I am learning)
3. Taking action now (We have to call our friends or clients in the seminar)
4. Tears and weeping (Untypical especially this is not a Personal Develop. course)

Also, btw, just for the record, we have to break an arrow at our neck before we leave. Yes. I did it. See the video link below. I am awesome!!

Christianity

Felicia — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 01:33:31 +0000

Yes, I converted to Christianity after what it seems a difficult journey for me. Why did I say that, it started way back when I was pregnant in june last year. That I unknowingly pray to God till now how incredibly my baby brought me to this church - Trinity Christian Centre. My baby did, I am unable to tell myself it is just purely another coincidence but rather to believe it is the act of God.

It is also a struggle for me to accept God and to declare it. Why, neither of my family or my hubby’s family believe in it. I am a strong believer of world peace, not that I like beauty pageant but rather I like to maintain harmony and peace in our family. However, here I am doing the obvious opposite, a different religion. See the dilemma that I am creating for myself? I thought of leaving it as it is and not converted for the rest of my life, until perhaps when I die, to have a christian funeral instead. Then again, I can’t convince myself why do I have to wait till then for something that seems so easy for other people and yet so difficult for me.

I can’t make the decision alone. Not by myself, then strangely I was led into it by my baby. Who will resist her own child? Not me definitely, God makes it easier for me to follow Him…

Time alone…

Felicia — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 05:06:31 +0000

This topic has been pondering in my head for over a few days already. Why? I first come across this wordings as “Time alone with God”. Now you know why I am pondering? I have been writing this blog for a few years now. Initially, it was to document my journey into the pregnancy and thereafter my children to come. However, I have written my thoughts and emotions along the way and it seems to be a good avenue to relieve myself. A lot of times when I refer back to the things that I wrote, I realised a lot of things seems so unimportant, petty stuffs that I can’t even recall. However, back then, it seems a big deal and prompt me to write it down instead.

At this point of my life, at this junction, I just want to pause and think about my life so far - Time alone. Not just with God, also personally to reflect on my own personal or business goals and etc. Just what do I want and what I have achieve to date. We go through every day with our works, career, bits by bits with details or careful planning. However, are we taking time to plan for the big picture as well? Our main goals or directions?

I was lost for a while, not knowing what is the next step, the next plan. For a person like me who plans everything, this is a terrifying thought, even just only as a thought is enough to scare me already. Thanks for a lot of people like my hubby, sister, friends and new friends out there who have been encouraging me all this while. You may not know what you have done, however, you impacted me. Even a small action like checking up on me or accompanying me to church is very much appreciated from my heart.

A big thank you to everyone who have touched my heart and enriching me!

Finally, are you doing time alone? I hope you do so too…

I spotted it again in Popular at Northpoint

Status cold, back to square one

Felicia — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 01:24:17 +0000

Just got the news yesterday, everything is back to square one. Though I told myself to not to get my hopes high, still I was sad, partly due to the results, but more importantly, how to move ahead. After each cycle, you will be drained physically and emotionally that you feel like giving up. However, my hubby told me that he will always be with me, so touched to hear it and very comforting indeed. He said, we just have to work harder and hope for the best… Now we really have to start afresh!

Amazing Journey…

Felicia — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 13:48:19 +0000

It has been an amazing journey so far, a lot of changes, new discovery, indescribable feeling. I have been promoting my book whereby it have given me a chance to meet with a lot of my old friends and reconnecting some of them, how’s nice… It had been made possible only though the book and due to by my baby. Thanks to him. Likewise, though him, I got connected to a new group of friends. I suppose I am just following the flow…

Tomorrow might be a milestone for me and my hubby. Hopefully is a start of our new chapter. We should wait and see…
