Living out Faith

Babe and me were invited to be witnesses to a marriage ceremony yesterday. It was our first time being at a marriage ceremony in HK and also our first time being witnesses. While we were at the registry, there were lots of things running through my head. Here is a couple that I've known for about a year. And it was only in the last few months that we gotten to know each other better and we must have been significant enough in their lives for them to ask us to be their witnesses. It was a real honour to be asked to be witnesses. Thanks for the pleasure. Being there also brought me back to 5 years ago when Babe and me put our signatures on our marriage certificate. Can't believe that 5 years has gone by so quickly. To me, it seemed it was just a couple of months ago that we got married. Normally, months can go by without us attending any weddings and now, in a matter of a month, we were invited to 2! Can't wait for the next wedding. Sharon, I'm definitely going to be ther...

Back in HK and settled in. Met up with couple of friends and it's strange that we came to a conclusion that we were glad to be back. It's an irony, isn't it? For me, the holidaying and travelling is enough and it's nice to be back. But does this mean that HK is finally becoming home for us? We've sold our car and apartment and other than family and friends, there's really nothing in Singapore for us. And at times, I don't really know where home is. People are never truly satisfied. When we're in HK, we long for Singapore at times. And then when we're at the airport in Singapore, we're glad that we're going back to HK.

After a long and nice vacation, we're settling back into our lives in Hong Kong. Have to say that the two trips I had were really very meaningful. Have to say they are probably the most meaningful holidays that I've actually taken. The trip to States was wonderful. Caught up with my three cousins that are living there. Met Eve in San Diego, took nice trips to Vegas and LA. And more importantly, we spent time with each other and we talked about our future and tried to plan it in a way that we'll be able to live in the same city and let's just say that the dream is in the works of becoming a reality. The trip to Singapore was meaningful and significant. We sold our apartment and in a way, we feel that our material links to Singapore are been cut and the reality of not knowing when we are really heading back there to live is becoming more real. Have to say that it scares me a little but I know that whatever happens, the Almighty Lord will lead us. Attended Stan's weddi...

Time really flies when you're having fun! With a wink of an eye, the week is over. It has been a great week meeting up with family and friends. Can't believe that in a couple of hours we'll be catching the plane heading back to HK. Highlights of my week. Obiviously hanging out with my family and also my Hobbit. Mum has fed her way too much. Selling our flat, little sad about it. Meeting my ex-colleagues, Amy and obviously Stan's wedding. This week has been good way too good. One of the most fruitful trips. Stan and Dorcas' wedding was really special. Special because my best friend found his other half. His church wedding really touched me. Had to control my tears, didn't want to ruin my makeup. The service was really beautiful. The dinner last night was WOW! That's what I can say. Met friends that I've not seen in years and years at the wedding dinner. Reconnected with them. Stan sang beautifully with Dorcas and the surprise of it all, he sang a song in ...

We arrived in Singapore on 13th August. It's nice to be home. It's nice to be able to eat food that I miss and hang out with family and friends. One of the reasons that we came home is to attend Stanley's wedding. For those who don't know, Stanley is one of my best friend for the longest time. And because of Stan's wedding, I've at least reconnected with 2 of our mutual friends. One of them is in the pic, Amy. We met at Brisbane about 9 years ago or something like that. Back to Stanley, well, since he's not giving me a chance to make a speech at his wedding, I shall blog about it. I've know Stanley for more than 25 years. To be exact, 26 years. We met at Sunday School and for some reason, we stuck being best friends. And since I've a very good memory, I seem to remember mindless things and remember probably three quarters of his family and friends. Stanley has been one of my best friends for almost forever. He's a brother that I never had and he...

Today is my last day and night in San Diego. It has been a great time. We went to Knotts Berry Farm on Friday. Had a blast but it was really hot and the lines for the rides were long as well. There were points of time that we were going to have a heat stroke. In the evening, we had dinner with my cousin, Jolynn. (Eelynn's younger sister) We had a great time. On Saturday, we decided not to go to Universal Studios because we did not want to deal with the people and heat. So we headed out to Santa Monica. Santa Monica's nice. We walked around the beach, had teas and then walked around the malls a little. Basically, we had a great time. Yesterday, we went to Ocean Beach in San Diego. It's a beach for dogs. And boy was the beach crowded. All in all, it was fun with Eve and Coco. Eve and Lucas, thanks so much for your hospitality. Eve, I'll miss you! Had heaps and heaps of fun. Till next summer, we'll meet either in New York when Babe gets there or if not, back here. Than...
