Philip's Dream Team

Yesterday, my mom told me and my brother, Jordan that she was going to take us horse riding. We were so happy that we jumped about for a whole minute.

That night, we slept early because we had to be up early the next morning.

Jordan woke me up at 6:25 a.m. “Hey, Heather, let's go horse riding. Quick! Get up!” I got up and was still feeling a little bit sleepy.

At 7.50am, we went to pick up Jackie -ee, Nathan and Faith. We drove to the Sarawak Equestrian & Turf Club. When we reached the stables, Miss Chai was there to greet us with a big smile.
First, we went to visit the horses in the stables.
After saddling Jasmine, it was time to go for a ride.

Nathan went first,







followed by Faith,









me

and then Jordan.




After that it was the adults' turn. Jackie ee was reluctant at first but after some persuasion from my mom, she decided to give it a go.










Before going home, we fed the horses. We had fun and we hope to go back again someday.

You taught me to be brave
In the face of my uncertainties
You strengthened my faith
so I could face my fears
You are awesome, You are awesome
You are awesome and great

You told me through Your Word
To rejoice in all my circumstances
Giving me hope to face my future
You are awesome, You are awesome
You are awesome and great

So I worship You
I bow before You
My Lord and King
You are deserving
You are worthy of my praise
My Lord and King
You are awesome and great
Hallelujah !

Our God is an awesome God. In the face of uncertainties and fears, we can always look to Him for help. He is indeed a present help in times of trouble. During a season of great trauma and uncertainty in our lives, Doreen and I learned a precious lesson: we need to keep our faith level high to counter fear. Faith and fear are on two different ends on a scale. When faith is down, fear will be taunting and intimidating, but when faith is stirred up, fear will disappear! Yes, it’s true, we can overcome fear no matter how tough life is. The Bible says that perfect love drives out fear.

Let’s come to God, acknowledge Him as our God and Saviour, expecting Him to deliver us from all harm and danger. We can say this confidently because our God is awesome and great !

The weather has been sizzling hot lately & apart from stopping short of wearing a “bikini” , we decided to go to the salon and have a major haircut. We here, obviously does not include Philip. He's just our chauffeur for this event.

I was just tired of tying and pinning my hair everyday.... so it was good riddance to all the bands and clips for now.

Jordan loves to go for a haircut. This boy is very conscious of his looks even at this tender age. He'll tell the hairdresser to do the style he likes. Short & spiky ! He walks out on cloud 9, with spiking hair smothered in gel.


Heather is a real contrast. Begs us not to trim her locks. This usually falls on deaf ears. She'll reel off a list of her friends who have long hair. The list is surprisingly long!!! She sits in the salon, her face gradually turning from a pinkish hue to green then finally completely ashen.... when she sees the final outcome. It's not 1 inch off.... it's 1.1 inch . AARGH!!!!!


So here we are leaving the salon, on one arm, one perky little kid grinning from ear to ear and on the other arm, a frowny looking gal, whinging away... “What will my friends say?”

Ah.. this is not the end of the story.

Next day after school report. (Jordan goes to a boys' school while Heather goes to an all girls' school)

Jordan---- “Mom....NOBODY even noticed my new hairdo. My friends didn't even say a thing!!!!

Yes.. darling. That's how life is. Men usually don't notice this sort of thing. This phenomena starts even at a young age. I am sure Jordan doesn't notice when his friends get a haircut.

Heather--- “Mom...EVERYBODY , all my friends talk about my hair. And guess what? They say it is cute.

Yes.. darling. That's how life is . Women notice everything. This phenomena starts even at a young age. I am sure Heather notices when her friends get a haircut.

By the way Heather, mommy & daddy will never let you have a hairstyle that is not nice. OK? Its a trendy cut .... especially the back with the nice little “tails”.
