Living out Faith

I remember asking Stanley once if his life now turned to be what he envisioned as a child. And he was like, 'Yup, not to disappoint you...Yes.' And I thought about myself. Is my life now panning out what I've always wanted as a child? Well, in terms with family, my marriage. It's a loud YES! I'm glad that I've a wonderful, loving, great, superb and supportive and I can't describe him anymore, husband. There's nothing of my marriage that I would like to change. But looking at my chosen occupation....Hmmm....the reality of it is that I've never really wanted to be a teacher as a child. Never really had any true ambitions. I know as a kid, all dad said was to study, get an education and make sure have a job so that when my man decides to walk out on me, I won't be left penniless! So...yes, did my studies and though...maybe a lawyer, nah...too much brain cells. Then I remember once at an oral exam, I actually said that I wanted to be a mother. Not su...

Went to church yesterday and the guest speaker was preaching about meaning in life and that people, things, incidents, situation and basically everything in our lives do not happen by coincidence. There's more to it than just coincidence. Well, true, I believe that. Then I read Beth's Blog . She wrote about meeting someone at the grocery store. To me, wow, it was this nice story about God placing us in situations that He knows that there is someone out there in need and it would be nice for us to render that help, how little it may seem to us, but to the receiver, it's huge. That got me thinking about my life. Being in Hong Kong where people come and go, friends and people can be very transient. Sure, there were people whom I called friends before and were very close to them and now, we don't speak much to each other for various reasons. But I'm sure that God brought them into my life for reasons that He knows and maybe I know too. But those moments passed and sure,...

Am glad that Babe is back today. Well, just for a couple of days and then he'll be off on the plane again. He's been travelling quite a fair bit and it's taking a toll on him. Met him at the airport this noon, came home, had takeaway and now, he's been asleep for the past 2 hours. Flying, travelling and working zaps the energy out of him. It's good to have him home for the weekend at least. Sorry girls, will be spending time with my man for the next couple of days and then, before the weekend hits, he'll be off again. How do I feel about his travelling? Well, it can be difficult and tough at times. I don't really bother to cook meals for myself as it doesn't seem to make sense to cook for just one. So it's either I eat out with my friends, look for instant meals or sometimes, don't eat much. Whenever, he's away, it gives me time to hang out with my friends and do stuff that I want to do, you know, like do my hair, facials, massages, nails, ye...

So....Been back to HK just on Sat and now, my social calender is packed. Yes, it's packed. Well, Babe left yesterday to Delhi and he'll be back this Sat. So, when the cat is away, the mouse is out to play! And since I've not seen a couple of friends since before Christmas and Chinese New Year hols are coming up too, I thought that I'll take this opportunity to meet up with friends before everyone leaves for their hols again. Last night, dinner with girlies. Tonight, dinner with Carmen. Tomorrow, dinner with a newly engaged couple, so happy for them. Then on Friday night, dinner and shopping with another girlfriend. Sat, Babe returns home. Stay for a couple of nights and he'll be off again....And then, my social calender will be full again. Gee....aren't me a busy person?

Back in Hong Kong after flying for more than 17 hours. Jetlag is not hitting me yet or rather, I'm trying to keep it at bay but Babe is snoring away. Wonder how will he be sleeping tonight. This post is basically pics of us on our vacation. Had a really great time catching up with family and Eve. And importantly, got to spend time with Babe. Quality time, uninterrupted by his work. Disneyland I've a thing for Disneyland. A huge thing. We were there 6 years ago for our honeymoon and now...we're revisiting again. Never really expect to go back to Disneyland so soon. Love this pic. Babe is actually smiling. He's not very good with taking pics. Oh yes, another of my favourite pic. This is in front of 'A Small World'. Look at the lights. So magical. Beautiful Christmas Tree in Toonland. Universal Studios Shrek! Love this movie. Falling in love with someone ugly and looking beyond his looks. Then bride turns ugly. Bride give...
