Inspirational Kids



Some child experts claim that children are born with a personality determined by genetics. Others feel that the child is environment determines it all. I believe children are a product of their genes and their environment. Of course there is evidence to support both arguments.
A spark just fell in my head that i have to blog about these kids. Gabriel, Edward, Stella, cayden, ashley & little declan.
Each individual one inspires me.
Babies often use gestures to communicate. A baby's muscles in their hands are developed long before they can speak. By the time they are one most children will wave bye-bye when someone says "Bye-bye." Little Declan blows kisses when her mom says, "Blow kisses." Baby sign language takes advantage of this developmental ability and helps babies give meaning to gestures. Many parents start the use to teach baby sign language with children as young as six months. As soon as an infant's fine motor skills are developed enough to make gestures they are old enough to start signing.
I've seen the benefits of sign language whenever declan moves.
This eliminates much crying and frustration. A 2000 study published by BabySigns.com showed that infants who learn baby sign language are often more advanced in their speech and language skills. Infants who use sign language learn to associate words with objects and needs at an earlier age. So once they are develop mentally able to say words they already have a large vocabulary established. Just like a child stops crawling after they can walk a child usually stop signing when they can talk, although occasionally they may use a sign along with speech.
That's DECLAN.

My big day....




It was the most brilliant day of my life.
John & Karen...The Eternal beginning of their lives together........
Cheers on with Toast on 26 Dec 2007, Raffles Town Club, Dunearn Ballroom 2 & 3
Indulging with blessings from 150 Guests for our Solemnization Ceremony.
Brimming with so much zeal, love and optimistic that i ran around giving everyone a big hug. Was adoring so much to squeeze all my guests out with love & thanks!
2:00PM:
A great afternoon spent with 'I DO! I DO! YES I DO!'
As John slips the ring onto my finger, i could feel the entire world around me soften into rose-petals hues and daffodil subtlety and it enshrounded us with a wisp of sanguine bliss.
Knowing that we have waited for many months, It gave a more powerful meaning of being 'TOGETHER."
It was a spirit confirmation from John.......' I could be anywhere else in the world, But I chose to be here with you."
That was all about in his speech of thanks following on our matrimony,
Whereas for me?
I’m so glad to be married to John; caring, talented, modest, charming – I can see why he picked me. Seriously, I don’t think there could ever be anyone in this world more perfect for me than John is and I appreciate my good fortune in marrying such a warm-hearted and loving man. When we first started going out together I was attracted by his ambition, drive and determination. After he proposed to me, I realized that without those qualities our marriage would still be as strong and I’d love him just as much. John brings out the good in me, he makes me laugh and he makes me enjoy each and every moment of life just by being a part of mine. They say that you don't marry someone you can live with – you marry the person who you cannot live without. This is certainly true. A wrapped up of thanks and love that we will grow old & grey together with trials & tribulations.
My certain Greatest Joy to see our meaningful ceremony works as it is.
The greatest love a man can give is the Love of within the heart.
With Special dedication of thanks to my beloved Brother Edwin, Aaron Tan, LinXin, Jessica Au, Tim & Adele, their beautiful kids Zoe & Titus!
With great appreciation, Thank you for making a day of heaven for us.
To all GUESTS, you created a great atmosphere!
Praise the Lord for everything!
Our special prayer will be with you.
Cheers to my Parents & John's Family!
With Love,
Mr & Mrs John Yong
P.s: I'll Put up more pics when its ready.
Meanwhile, Our lovenest is grooming in progress.......
Cheer on for a new year, a great start!

The Dying Trade

life is so, so, so drab. It used to be something I looked forward to, something I was excited about- but now I'm am marking the start of my life really really soon. Everything else seems so trivial and tiring, and pointless, now.Over the past 11 months, I have lost all the energy, exuberance and spirit I used to have- and more. I have descended to being uncomfortable and awkwardly self-absorbed when I'm around others.I need to get back in touch with civilisation. . Friends. Lectures. Lecturers. People; Many people, rather than just any Single One.On to something new- what's been going on in my life? Well... does it seem like I have much to talk about.Am afraid not.
Sigh! Guess its all about trust and faith in this upcoming lesson to be.
So much of worries to think about........
As of my previous past entries, 3rd parties / flings are bound to die one fine day. grrr.......
Keeping myself really busy as i'm stuck in the moment and i cant help it all.
don't say that later will be better as i'm stuck in a moment and i cant help it all.
Let's all just face it, nobody gives as much heck about Blogs now as they used to.Nowadays, people would rather spend endless hours in front of dumb Facebooks, writing on each other's cyber-'walls' (I am suddenly reminded of Mending Wall) , pinching/poking/prodding one another. That comes across as, not that I mean to sound supercilious, exasperatingly banal.These 'channels of communication' are just crashing down on us in relentless waves: MSN, ICQ, IRC, Friendster, Facebook, WAYN... god knows how many other such things I have rejected, and how many more will join the surge in the future.Having to sign up for these things isn't just irritating to an imbecile proportion; we get so caught up with flaunting the number of friends we have (adding anyone who passes remotely for a semblance of an acquaintance) that we forget the more important process of keeping in touch with those people who DO matter.We let friendship just sort of... slip us by. Before we know it, the gal/guy we were so happily chatting away with a few years back now stands as just a vaguely familiar face which we struggle to put a name to..Trying very hard to be optimistic, Karen votes for the former reason. :)Blame myself, really. Getting all caught up with my personal life, conveniently ignoring that other human beings coexist with me, and taking for granted all that I've had in the past.Even my dearest ex-classmates of A01e...Count myself extremely lucky that I have Xin & Lyd around- they are probably one of the few greatest blessings I've had in my life.I have digressed rather unforgivably. I was meaning to comment on how I can now have a freer reign to speak my mind, given that people supposedly don't read others' blogs that much anymore. Supposedly lah, ya?Hey, that must have been my first Singlish in quite a while. It actually felt quite good saying it.:)
