A New Way of Discipline & A New Haircut

Just yesterday, Li'ora was caned (tapped lightly) on her hand. She is getting naughtier these days. While sitting inside the highchair during meal times, she would lean forward to lick the table. When I say 'No!', she would pause, look at me, think and then lean forward to lick the table again! Just when I thought she is thinking if she should 'repent', she is thinking if she should disregard her mummy's order and go ahead to lick the table!


Well, like what the Bible says, we are to bless our children with our hands, and discipline with the rod, a cane was used. She was not caned by me though, but by my father. But we only attempted that after she linked 5 times, no matter what we say. What was her reaction? Well, nothing. OK la, after 2 minutes, she cried a little and then started to make loud noises of displeasure and complain. At least... she did not smile and thought we were playing with her a tapping game. =(


If you have been following me on tweeter, you will recall that Li'ora is teething, and has been waking up every 1 to 2 hours every night. This is how it goes during a typical night: she would wake up, look around and when fail to see anyone, cry for attention. I will then come into the room, pat her to sleep, and then leave the room SILENTLY. This continues for hours from 8pm to 6.45am/7.30am. Have been praying that Li'ora will be so difficult and thank God, starting from last Friday, she has been sleeping through, only waking up 3 times in the night, and asking for milk at 4plus am to 5am. God is good and He is a prayer answering God!


Besides a newly adopted discipline method, Li'ora also had a new hair cut. It was done free by my mum's hairstylist at Katong Shopping Centre. This service will be rendered free to all clients as long as the children as below 7 years old. The haircut took only 10 minutes! She was CRYING and WAILING all the way. Only managed to cut her fringe and abit of the hair at the back.


Anyway, this is how Li'ora looked like in her prvious haircut... These photos were taken at my dad's birthday at Crystal Jade. =)

NEW haircut!

Feeling relaxed in my bed!

Amused by my keyboard toy...

I am going to eat my poriddge soon! Happiness!

Li'ora is now eating porridge twice a day, drink lots of milk (every 3 hours), bread, biscuits, Vitamin C and drinks her fresh apple juice. I am so excited to see her new tooth!

ADVERSITY MOTIVATES - JOHN C. MAXWELL

Nothing can motivate a person like adversity. Olympic diver Pat McCormick discusses this point: “I think failure is one of the great motivators. After my narrow loss in the 1948 trials. I knew how really good i could be. It was the defeat that focused all my concentration on my training and goals.” McCormick went on to win two gold medals in the Olympics in Helsinki in 1952 and another two in Melbourne four years later.

If you can step back from the negative circumstances facing you, you will be able to discover their positive benefits. That is almost always true; you simply have to be willing to look for them – and not take the adversity you are experiencing too personally.

If you lose your job, think about the resilience you’re developing. If you try something daring and survive, evaluate what you learned about yourself – and how it will help you take on new challenges. If a bookstore gets your order wrong, figure out whether it’s an opportunity to learn a new skill. And if you experience a train wreck in our career, think of the maturity it’s developing in you.

Besides, Bill Vaughan maintains that “in the game of life it’s a good idea to have a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season.”

Always measure an obstacle next to the size of the dream you’re pursuing.

It’s all in how you look at it.

EMBRACE THE ADVERSITIES YOU MAY BE FACING IN YOUR LIFE AND RETRAIN YOURSELF TO VIEW THEM AS BENEFICIAL.

Li'ora's First Personal Book!

A few weeks ago, I had a pleasant surprise! Santhi, a ministry zone supervisor from JAMs church, gave Li'ora a present. It was a book cum photoalbum, which illustrate Li'ora growing up from 1 month old to 6 months old.

Let me take you through on this book...

Cover page! Li'ora at 1 month old, boy, she looks really different now. And prettier now too! Haha.

Thanks so much Santhi! What a great present! Li'ora reads it almost everyday!!! =)

Li'ora's First Cell Group Meeting...

This is Li'ora's first cell group meeting! Actually, it is my parent's cell group meeting held in Siglap. She is really happy and excited!

All the cell group members were so excited to see her. They took turns to carry her and Li'ora did not cry at all! In fact, she patiently sat through the praise session and saw her mummy leading worship. =)

My parents' CG does not use songsheets, instead they use songbooks, like what you see below...

I can't wait for Li'ora to grow up and attend CG meetings with me! Yay!
