Mommy just read a nice article from today's reading..they wrote the analogy that Jesus is like GPS
We all want to go to Father's house but we don't know where and how to get there..Fortunately, we have Jesus who helps us. If we follow His directions and guidance, we will get there in short period and safe but if we disobey His directions, we may get there but take longer time and can get lost anytime...
It's such a good analogy and it applies to my little family's life as well.
When we start our little family, we are not sure what will happen during our journey but we have Jesus who are in control of our family's life.
So far, we have been in smooth sailing journey and mommy is very thankful of that.
Seeing Richie grows up happily, full of joys and smile and seeing my family has good time almost most of the times are really blessings that can't bought with $$$
Thanks God for Your guidance and blessing to us. Always guide our family and be a center of our family's life. We want to be like Holy Family who can share peace and joy to others

Happy Easter 2011 !
Well, mommy and daddy didn't do fasting and abstinence especially since Richie was born.
I knew it's sound like excuses but to be honest, when taking care of kid, sometimes mommy even forget what day today is. Therefore, every day is the same, even it's advent, easter, xmas etc.
The different thing is mommy and daddy only can GIVE THANKS to GOD for what He has done for us.
It's all starting after new year when daddy caught the flu bug for more than one month.
Then mommy and Richie caught the bug from daddy just before we went back to Indonesia.
To make it worse, Richie has been very sick - diarrhea, severe cough and blocked nose for about one month.
While mommy and daddy went to Europe, mommy had very bad cough there and when we went back, daddy needed to go for sinus surgery.
When mommy looked back again, our family had been sick for about 4 months....
Because of His Grace, our family has been recovered and daddy is still in the process of recovery from the surgery. It takes sometimes for daddy's nose to have normal function again.
From the sick journey, we realized that health is very important in our life even if we have money.
Mommy also gave thanks for the protection and guidance during Europe Trip when we went by our own and left with unforgetable memory and of course made our marriage became stronger and stronger every day.
Mommy and daddy also gave thanks for daddy's promotion and salary raise. It's quite unpredictable though.
and most importantly, we gave thanks as a family where we have good bond as a little family and also good bond with our big family (mommy and daddy's parents, brothers and sisters and also our relatives)
Mommy also gave thanks for Richie who becomes more mature every day and can be a good helper and best friend too for mommy.
Thank you God for all the blessings in our life, please remind us always that what we have now is all from You and teach us to share with others and let our little family become a blessing for others too
Mommy present this song as our thanksgiving prayer for this easter season

From fun to nightmare
After 3 days staying in Jakarta, the fun holiday turned out to be a nightmare.
Tuesday, 1 March 2011
Late morning after having fruit juice, Richie threw up the juices while taking morning nap. Mommy thought he's full of the juice. Then in the afternoon, when we went to buy some fruits in the supermart, he threw up again after eating mantou and a slice of cheese. Mommy started wondering if there's something wrong.
In the evening, Richie had loose stools, it's not watery yet.
Mommy decided to bring Richie to the PD 1 whom he saw last time. The PD 1 gave him mixture of cough medicine and orange Zinc for diarrhea.
At night around 9 pm, suddenly Richie developed high fever about 40 deg, mommy started to worry, luckily mommy brought panadol and brufen from Singapore. But after 1 hour, the fever didn't subside, it's around 38.5 - 39 deg until the next morning.
Wednesday, 2 March 2011
Mommy started panicking 'cos the panadol and brufen didn't really bring the fever down and wanted to see the PD 1 again in the morning. Unfortunately, the PD 1 was available in the hospital that's far away from oma's house therefore we decided to go to nearby hospital where there's a PD 2
What mommy expected was the PD gave mommy assurance that it's normal for fever to be up and down and gave some advises how to encourage Richie drank medicine and water. Richie didn't want to drink or eat, that's made a headache.
But turns out that the PD 2 just gave new medicine again with some antibiotics without checking further with mommy whether he has been in antibiotic before etc. When mommy asked the PD 2 further whether it's necessary to give antibiotics directly or waiting for few days to see the reactions of previous medicine. The PD 2 challenged mommy, by saying " Why are you so afraid with antibiotics? ". " I have studied overseas before too "," If you don't want the antibiotics, it's fine but there's a risk your baby will have seizure if the fever couldn't come down" ...OMG mommy didn't like him at that point of time.
At first, Mommy didn't want to buy the medicine prescribed by him, and prefer waiting for the PD 1 available in the evening. But mommy had no choice when people surrounding persuaded to give the prescribed medicine. In the afternoon, mommy gave first dose of antibiotic, the fever still didn't come down and became diarrhea. The diarrhea was very bad until in the evening. Richie didn't want to drink and eat and he's very very weak, motionless I would say.
Mommy's heart broken into pieces looking at him.
Then, Oma Tine suggested to give him Holy water from Lourdes. Mommy remembered clearly. at 630pm, he had very bad diarrhea and high fever, then mommy gave him brufen to bring the fever down while oma tine gave him holy water
And we decided to go to emergency room in the hospital since Richie was motionless. Just before we went to hospital, Richie suddenly had energy, his fever was down. He felt very hungry and ate a lot.
It's the first miracle mommy experienced.
We still went to hospital to make sure everything alright. The doctor in hospital told mommy to stop the antibiotics and gave medicine for diarrhea instead including new antibiotics for the diarrhea.
After we went back home, mommy gave him antibiotics and medicine for diarrhea, and the fever subsided around 37.5.
At night, mommy was very tired 'cos lack of sleeping and rest, mommy prayed to Mother Mary to keep an eye on Richie and asked the fever either stabil or come down 'cos mommy was too tired to monitor the fever every hour while gave him holy water.
Around midnight, the fever started climbing up again slowly, mommy wanted to give him the paracetamol but Richie kept rejecting until around 1.30am, he finally took the medicine and the fever subsided until now.
It's second miracle.

Richie was very cheerful, he woke up with some energy, even though he's still having diarrhea, but no fever and he wanted to eat and drink except milk.
He's full of energy, that's why mommy decided to go back to Singapore as soon as possible
Oma and Opa helped mommy to book the flight the next day.
At dawn, Richie suddenly woke up crying for 1 hour, we confused what's wrong with him. We suspected that he had tummyache.
