The Long Easter Weekend

The long weekend that just passed was a long awaited one for me. I've been so busy and stressed out at work and i really needed the break.

On thur night i worked from home till 1am. Thought to myself i can finally sleep till noon time and catch up on the beauty sleep. However, i got a call from my mum at 6am that my dad has severe food posioning and needs to go see a doctor. It was quite a shock to me as my dad has always been very healthy. He hardly sees the doc thru the years and never ever takes MC. Together with my mum, we quickly sent him to the 24Hour clinic but even the doctor there says he is too weak, his blood pressure too low for medication or injection and advises us to send him to the A&E at Tan Tock Seng. Quite a scary experience for me becos i never had such heavy responsibility on my shoulders and i have never seen my dad so weak before.

Thank God for answering our prayers, he was discharged after going thru checks and under drip and observation for half a day. Only thing was that my mum's advanced bdae lunch that day had to be postponed.

Thank God also that about 4 mths ago, my parents blessed me with a car. My driving skills especially parking used to be pathetic. However, thru the months of driving, my skills have improved tremendously and i am more confident than before. In the past, my dad is always the one that drives every single one of us around. Even though i had my licence about 8 years ago, i hardly drive. Its in times like these, i felt so glad that i had picked up driving again and can confidently drive, and it is only becos my parents provided the avenue for me to do so.

Here's my beloved car, all thanks to my superb parents!

On Friday and Sat evenings, i also joined Shian at his extended family chalet. There was a lot of food and activities all lined up. What really impressed me, was that there were about 100 people and they had such strong teachings of character from the older to the younger generation. Everyone put in an effort to make the chalet a wonderful and fun one. The amazing thing was Shian's parents got the 1st and 2nd prize for the lucky draw!

On saturday, my 2 nephews and niece came to our place. We had a simple family lunch to celebrate my mum's bdae.

Sunday was spent at Easter Service at Church where there was a drama production and a food and games carnival as well. A day we remember Jesus who died for our sins. It was also a very joyous sight to see so many people accepting Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

With that, the weekend draw to a close, so fast, before i can even catch some rest....and then it was down to work and more work.....
