9 Yrs 8 Mths

One afternoon Qinzhi had CCA, I took Huaihao out for some one to one bonding. We had sushi which he wanted and that is him helping me carry stuff. No longer that little baby.

There was this sunday, the last day of the september school holidays where we spent an entire day out at orchard, we had what the kids wanted which was tenjin, then had sweets and snacks along the way.

Huaihao said that it was a big day because we spent time together, whiling it away eating and strolling and walking from orchard to city hall after he had Nine Fresh desserts

One day at bedtime, I suggested that if Huaihao likes to be a YouTuber, he could possibly youtube things he enjoyed, such as food, giving out reviews and such. He was open to it and the next day, I bought some cakes for him and Qinzhi to try. To eat and to youtube of course, and we had loads of laughter in that event of playing out the youtuber.

On another saturday, after walking and running as always, the three of us had french galettes and crepes, it was something new to Qinzhi and Huaihao.

Turns out to be my lunar birthday and Huaihao made a nice little sketch

And when the sea breeze got too strong, the kids had great fun playing

When asked to work on this assessments, this is what he did

Asked HuaiHao to manage his time spent on Roblux.

HuaiHao: Roblox is not a game mom.

TPY: Then what is it?

HuaiHao: It’s a lifestyle.

And what happened was HuaiHao caught the hfmd . Thankfully there was no fever or a nasty sore throat. He didn’t really want the medicine the GP prescribed and relied on supplements. Happy to say he is doing well.

Running/Walking (xi)

Running/Walking (xi)

I always intended before I started walking or running. To use the practice ahead to expand on my consciousness, to open my mind further . To reconnect with my body, my self——- seemingly brainless or basic things but really it’s not that easy after all.

But as always on me time, inklings always come about.

(I) Like

One day I asked TPY what does she like? And the responses came.

我喜欢被感动,然后去感动别人

我喜欢发现,喜欢新,喜欢去发掘新奇的东西

可能别人会错过的

我喜欢做别人的眼睛,帮别人去发现发掘出来美

In essence, I found out that it’s not so much writing that I liked but discovering the new and seeing how I act on it or react to it. I like to look ahead and watch out for new things and to find the connection with it

(II) Open Up Show Up

On another day, I asked myself why do I need my shield of keloids and it dawned on me that at a certain point in my life, when life rained on me, I felt like I was not able to receive or manage already and so I put up my hands to block

And block all of life I did. The keloids when dad left and mom passed on. Then when Qinzhi experienced epilepsy —— and now writing this made me understand how I put a shield on my navel with the cyst!

When I felt how life was throwing things at me and I was overwhelmed and how life isn’t working for me

I put things up as a shield

And H did send me Louise Hay’s interpretation of a cyst

“Cysts: Running the old painful movie. Nursing hurts. A false growth.
Cystic Fibrosis: A thick belief that life won’t work for you. “Poor me.”

And I took the chance to tell TPY – I do not need to shy away from life and it’s offerings anymore. I affirmed the circle of support I have and once again worked at feeling openness.

I need not hide from life- at all.

I affirm that I enjoy success prosperity vibrant great health and energy amazing fulfilling wholesome relationships

I affirm I am in the flow and always travelling in the best direction

I want to experience openness and success like never before

(III) Breathe

On another day when it rained as I was running, I was more desperate trying to anchor myself on my breath than escaping the rain. When it rained on, the voice in me grew louder : stay with the breath, stay. Move the body not the mind. Stay with the breath, feel it. And that was the gateway or link to the present. Not worries about the rain or getting rained on.

(IV) Yoga

I kind of am reconnecting back to yoga and is intrigued by the things the instructor says during the lesson

Such as- don’t do the pose let the pose do you.

Such as, let the yoga begin now

Such as, we see more when we feel more

The purpose of doing so much is to go in

As the pose gets a bit more intense, find a place to get comfortable . Adjust. Stay with the breath. Move the breath. Move the body not the mind

Find a place for the breath, where it hasn’t been before

And I see squirrels, eagles, birds and know – all is well.

If anything, find all ways to be connected with the self. And always , always come back to centering the self- or the breath.

No matter how hard it is raining. Ot what you see, hear, feel. Come back to the breath.

13 Years 7 Months

13 Years 7 Months

If anything, time is passing by so quickly it has become out of grasp. When Mooncake festival came along we headed over to grandpa’s to be together. And we had lots of mooncakes!

There was another day that we had craving for cakes and the kids did a youtube intro . There was no doubt we had lots of laughter.

During the school holidays, we took an evening walk to Millenia Walk, which was quite rare.

On another day, we took the kids out to experience riding in a cable car.

On the last day of school holidays, I pampered the kids silly with food they loved, we walked the streets of Orchard to City Hall underdressed but we all agreed it was a huge day. Full of fun deliciousness and laughter.

When the sea breeze came, the kids took some time to play with the winds!

On one Saturday, I let the kids had a go at the french galettes and crepes, it was something they did not try before

And it turns out to be my lunar birthday that day and thank you Qinzhi for the little card

Before we know it, Sec 1 is almost coming to a close as exams near. In no time, the exams will be over and Qinzhi will be in secondary 2. How fast time has been, how much Qinzhi has grown and progressed.

Wishing this little precious baby health blessings and joy always, always!

Walking/Running (x)

Walking/Running (x)

Its been a while since I picked up running 3 times a week. Although each time the route is the same, the process is so different.

What has been different is that H has been coming for healing sessions , energy work and I learn things each time. During the first session, her pendulum wouldn’t move on top of my crown, with energy work, the pendulum always moves in a vibrant fashion . But in subsequent sessions, in the beginning, the movements were small. My vital points were always wanting of movements and energy.

It is no wonder I felt low down and out. Not in the flow not connected.

Thoughts in the night

I have been drifting in and out of sleep at night with thoughts, such as: I have been “managing the keloids ” for the past close to 10 years, is it not enough? Not enough scratching itching inflammation?

Enough already?

I asked myself- or my higher self asked me—- in the middle of the night.

Peeling of layers

Today I peeled off another layer about the keloids.

Whilst walking back after the run, I peeled off another layer. The most recent realisation saw me seeing how the keloids were a shield and a protection for me.

Today I asked why I needed the protection?

The question is: do i still need protection now? The next thing that came to me was that I actually have support layers around me, whether it be family, an essential oil community or healers and people I could reach out to.

I am no longer that little one that needs protection, or -layers of protection.

The next thing I saw was that- the keloids were a shield and protection I desperately put up- in the time I need. There were these moments in time when I could no longer take any more. It was like the waves of life were coming at me. And I must have felt like I needed to block these out, and in a bid to block out whatever that was coming – I could no longer care if it’s good for me or not—- I needed a shield of protection. I needed to hide behind this shield this protection.

Today I saw how used to”shielding/protecting” myself from life I have become accustomed to. The shield and protecting is already happening unconsciously running automatically. In the same measure, the same “reflex”action, this habitual action and mindset, I block myself out of all receiving. Of all good things of all life.

Blocking out has been my habitual act I have become so used to, it happens without thinking.

Surrender

Surrendering is easier said than done. That day when I ran, I tried to work on open awareness. Basically just be aware of everything and anything around you. I felt like there was content in the atmosphere and I just wanted to allow the self to be open to this. To let the divine take over.

Whilst running today, I tried to open myself up. To allow, and to open up and allow. How do you push or let your self be aside and let the divine take over?

What is the feeling of stepping aside? Of putting your ego away in everyday life, in relationships?

Yoga

So many meaningful things felt during the yoga session on Monday. Teacher said, “find a place space for your breath – where it hasn’t gone to in your body. “

At the end of the session, I felt myself in stillness, in that place, there isn’t much movement, and you don’t really want to move. And after I left the studio, I wanted to keep that stillness somewhat. Trying my utmost to not disturb that sensation.

What I like

I told H about how Kim Robinson sat me down and used lipstick on my lips and told me , “Yen you have the most beautiful lips.”

I teared up. For he rescued me in that time of need. And till now, I remembered that moment even if he might not remember me. In my work previously, I have had the honour and privilege of meeting with angels like him, it was as if divinity is speaking to me through them, cherishing me motivating me, energising me.

It is moments like these- I felt connected to the divine. And in the years I have stayed away from work, I kind of lost grip and slipped away from these precious connections.

Getting back to work

I asked bf for support if I was ever going back to work. And he asked me what that is. I described to him how he could leave home without a care and to be devoted to work. Even if the kids were not well, he does not even call back to check on them. And that is because I m holding the fort at home.

And he got it. I asked if he is ready to commit to holding space and the home like this for me, when I get out to work. And when I do, I will have no reservations. I have been storing energy in the past 3 years for me to fly when I get out there.

Reflection

Saw the moon walking back and I instantly and instinctively turned to find the sun, in the opposite direction. Like resonance.

See the moon and you know where the sun is. As in what we see in our lives everyday. As above, so below. As with in, so with out. As the universe, so the soul. ― Hermes Trismegistus
