Anzac day

In Australia, month of April has the most public holidays, I love it! And so is a lot of people here.

I get to sleep in a little bit, until my daughter came into our bedroom and jumped on the bed.

Our son is already 5 months now, just last night we were going through some pictures and videos taken from cameras or phones, how time flies, our daughter is so big now, yet she is only 3 years old.

Anzac day means a lot to Aussies as they take time to remember the sacrifices made by their heroes, they call them diggers - i still don't know why, need to google shortly.

As for me and family, we are spending time with our extended family this afternoon, it's a relaxing time. Right this moment I am in another room watching my little boy taking his nap, hence tgis post.

I hope you are having a good Anzac day too, God bless.

Travel to city

There are some rail tracks improvement works happening this week on my train lines. Consequently alternative arrangement is in place, bus replacements.

I thought the journey would be bad, but it's not too bad at all, I left home 15 minutes earlier, but managed to reach office the normal time. Maybe it's because now is school holidays, the journey on the bus was faster than I expected.

The bottom line is, yes public transport in Melbourne is far from perfect, and I complained on Twitter whenever there is disruptions, but I need to be more thankful instead, after all, I would still get home, even though it's later sometimes.

The Bible says to give thanks in all circumstances, at times, when bad things happen, it won't be easy to give thanks, but i'm trying.

So for now, i am thankful that I have extra time to write this blog :)
And thank you for reading too :)

Back in business

Yes, I'm back in business. Blogging that is :)

It has been a while, and I think from now on I should update my blogs more regularly. Since I commute to work most of the time, I can utilize the time on the train more like write blogs etc, what do you think?

It's been a busy year so far, but it's all good busyness. Our second child, Alexander is almost 5 months old, how time flies. Thank God that all is well, he's a healthy little boy, very chubby as you can see in the picture below, together with his sister (with messy hair :))

So yes, will try to keep my blogs short, simple and sweet, and instead of writing bad news (most of the media contain bad news anyway...), I will try to write more positive, encouraging things about life etc. Until the next blog in few days, signing off.

5 love languages review

Recently I went through my bookshelf and found a dusty book called "5 love languages" by Dr. Gary Chapman. Started reading again, and I must say, I have been challenged again to speak with the right language.

If you want to learn more about loving people, I highly recommend this book, whether you are a Christian or not, we all need to love and need to be loved. And we need to communicate our love with the language that is understood by the other party.

If you use Kindle, the Kindle edition is also available at a cheaper price. This book should be on everyone's bookshelf, that is of course if you want to become more loving person, and be loved :)
