I am her's and she is mine!

2 Days back, we had our first Baby Shower for the relatives. As usual, relatives will have a lot of 'DOs & DON'Ts' for you. But the best advise i heard that day is " you are the parent so you decide what do and what don't".

Some relatives were 'concerned' that family's friends are asking how come they did not see me pregnant and blah blah blah. They told me that i should not let people know that she is adopted, and maybe i should not post her photos so much on social media to avoid questioning and just 'lay low'.

Yes! I did not disappear from my friends and family members; hide from the world; delete my social media for 9-10 months so that people will think that maybe i was pregnant and they did not know, and i will definitely not stop posting photos of Zara or 'lay low'.. 

Because i will not for a moment be ashamed or embarrass of her!

And not for a moment will i ever want her to feel that we are not proud of her!

She is not an accident. 

She is beautifully and wonderfully made in the image of God.

She is chosen, an elect, destined to be placed into this family and into His house (City Harvest Church)

She is now mine and i am her's

She will have everything i had planned and reserved for my child

Nothing less.

Everyday i am reminded of God's mercy and His goodness in her.

I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine!

Culture in Details

Over the years, are things being simplified or are we losing our culture?
Visited a museum today and looking at all the beautiful work pieces of the past, makes me understand the essences of the culture and their beliefs

Beyond the purpose of beauty, every little detail plays a very important role in their traditions, culture and beliefs. Everything has its purpose in its place! Amazing!

Attos - My 'Angel' bag

Many of you read my post on ATTOS earlier and found out a bit about this 'Angel' bag. Now it has arrived! Actually a few weeks back but have been really busy, so here it goes!

A blue full leathered, beautifully crafted bag. The side of the bag comes with 2 flaps that symbolises the wing of an angel.

It comes with the ATTOS logo on the metal piece of the opening and on the leather itself, on the inside of the bag. The zipper also have the words "love, joy and peace" engraved on it.

Accompanied with a lovely long stripe.

Ikea Besta Burs High Gloss Desk Review

This is the Besta Burs High gloss white desk from ikea that maybe many of you would love to buy one or own one. I bought one, less than 2 years ago at S$549 and this is the review I have about this desk.

The high gloss surface looks really really beautiful and makes you want to have it. Many will consider that fact that many fingerprints will be left on the beautiful surface, just like I did.

But fingerprints were not my problems. A few weeks back, I was packing my desk and taking a really close look, which I seldom do, I realized a long crack runs along the whole length go the surface. I was quite shock because the desk was never moved, so it wouldn't be caused by any banging or having hit against anything! Also the desk was never used for heavy items that would cause the crack.

Apart from that long long crack, I also had a hole on the surface that is caused by UHU glue. I accidentally dripped a drop of glue on the surface and the high gloss surface melted!

Like anyone who have paid this amount for a desk, would be rather sad and disappointed to know that this table is not gong to last any longer. The price verses the lifespan ratio makes it rather not worth it. 

Going to look for better desk! :)
