The journey begins
 
Started my Masters in Social Science course. Last night, was the first lecture.
I left formal school in 1987. After a break of seven years, I went back to studies in 1995 to do my degree. I graduated in 2000 and at the same time gave birth to Kai. Now 2014, I find myself back in school again. A long break of fourteen years and with two kids in tow, I am back. I wonder what gave me the courage to return to the books? Have I gone mad? But I am very thankful that I found the right school. A lesson for all who wants to do private studies. Make sure you have researched enough, talked to the right people. There have been many cases of fake private institutions. After collecting the fees, were not able to start classes.

The school has insurance for all students to protect their welfare, there were contracts to sign, fees can be paid by instalments with zero interest.

After the orientation last week, I came home to tell the spouse that I was overwhelmed but he being a supportive husband  told me that I will do well because that is my passion.  Last night, as I sat at the lecture room, I heard of so many cases… …the single lady who was in her 30s didn't mean to say what she said to her cancer-stricken mum just before she died …the 14 year-old girl who has three fathers  ... the man who threw his wife into the swimming pool …the mum of four who felt that she was merely a helper at home and nothing else ... however, all came out of their situations, a winner because they found the right counsellor. This is what life should be. Before I pass on, let me leave a legacy for those whom I leave behind.  Tay Ping Hui, a Singapore actor said it very well…

 “What I’d like for our society is not to shy away from moments of compassion. To be human, care. If you’re angry or feel injustice, do something. Act, don’t just talk.”

  

He is 14 already!

This is the first time that Kai is not spending his birthday with us. He has gone for his school camp and only come home on Friday! Sigh…sign of his growing up. The children has indeed grow up so fast since we came home. He is now standing at 1.7m tall and is still growing. Where has that little baby boy gone to? 太快了！


 
My son, grow up to be a man of wisdom, a man who thirst after Godly wisdom!

Why argue till the cows come home?
 
There has been a big debate, both online and offline on LGBT. Even when I was attending my parent facilitating class, we were also debating on this topic. I cannot imagine mothers agreeing that LGBT is acceptable? “Some babies are born like that.” “Oh, very poor thing, a man trapped in a woman’s body!”. “She likes to dress like a boy.” etc, etc…
Come, come…are these not words which you hear from the media? Movies, dramas, sitcoms…you know what are these? Acting, not real!

I am a Christian, I believe God created Adam and Eve. He first created Adam and felt that it was not good for him to be alone and He took a rib out of Adam and created Eve. Why a rib and not a toe or a brain cell? Simple. That a woman will stand by the man. They should be standing side by side, supporting each other.

Then the Lord God made a woman. He made her from the rib he had taken out of the man. And he brought her to him. The man said, “Her bones have come from my bones.
Her body has come from my body.
She will be named ‘woman,’
because she was taken out of a man.” That’s why a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The two of them will become one. (Gen 2: 22 – 24)

Ok, even if you are not religious, just look at the most natural beings on earth that have gender difference. The animals. They are just their natural self. Not influence by society or other beings.
Tell me, have you seen a tiger mating a tiger or a lioness mating a lioness. Simple as that!
