Living out Faith

Today is one of those days that I woke up missing Eve. It all started last night when were were texting each other. She's in San Antonio now and she was telling me how great the outlet mall was and she wished that I was there shopping with her. And I went to bed thinking the same. Woke up this morning and yes, missed her even more! Wished that I could just call her and ask her if she's free for dinner tonight. Well, dream on! What made it even harder was the realization that I'll probably not see her this summer. Spent my last two summers with her and really had a great time. Eve brings out the spontaneous and adventurous part of me. I went quad biking with her, kayaking with her and did heaps of stuff with her. Babe told me that he wanted me to holiday with him over summer and he's thinking of Australia. Well, going to be a nice wife and listen to him. So yes, in other words, I'll miss Eve even more now. It's truly hard to have a best friend that hardly lives i...

Mel and me chilling out on the junk waiting for the others to arrive. Babe looking cool as usual. Kim and Mel. Check out the smile of Kim's face. The engaged couple! Last Saturday night, we were invited by David to attend a surprise engagement party. He was going to propose to Kim and then have a party to celebrate their engagement. Must say that his plan went perfectly executed. We boarded the junk boat at Causeway Bay, sailed to South Bay Beach (don't ask me where, it was too dark for me to figure out. Think somewhere near Repulse Bay) and picked them up. And yes, it was a fabulous time! It was incredibly romantic for David to plan it all for Kim. Felt really glad to be there for the couple. I started thinking about Babe and me. Babe never proposed to me, rather, I asked him what's next when we hit the 9 year mark. So we planned and got married. Even my engagement ring, Babe brought me to the shop to pick it up. Did I wish for a proposal? Sure, but that's Babe's s...

Been a little busy at work recently and life has been pretty much the same, nothing really different. Have been thinking about stuff but not going to talk about it, lest people stumble in their faith. I strongly believe that whatever happens, God has a reason and a purpose. Anyway, this post, I'm going to cut and copy 25 random things about me and add more details to each point and add more random things about me. And after reading this post, I won't blame you if you decide to drop me as a friend or think that I'm strange and weird. So this is it.... random things 1) I'm glad that I married to my best friend. Met Babe in church when I was 15, sparks flew from my end, and at 18, we started dating, spent quite a bit of our relationship in a long distance relationship. Dated for 10 years and finally, we got married. We're now into our 7th year of marriage. Praise the Lord! 2) I'm obsessed with pink. Seriously! Yes, very obsessed with pink. Wanted a pink car, but Ba...

Before we moved to HK, we had our little Hyundai Getz for about 3 years. I did love that car pretty much. Was a little sad to see it go. When we first got our car, Babe didn't have his driving license and so I was the driver. Being new at driving, our brand new car at that time, had endless scratches on its sports rims. I had a thing on going over curbs. Sure, Babe would yell at me. But honestly, I couldnt care less. Then car received lots of scratches from various reasons but thankfully, I didn't meet with any serious accidents. Or rather no accidents at all! Have to mention that WK was the best driving instructor without a driving license! Then one day, months after WK started to drive. We were coming home from church and he took a corner too fast and crashed into the curb. When that happened, I was very calm, called whoever we had to call and got the car to wherever it had to go and that's it. End of the story. I didn't get mad with him or anything like that. Fixed t...

Have been reading a book recently and the author wrote this line when explaining why he took a trip with his family despite there were other pressing needs in his family. He wrote that money can always be made but with memories, it can't always be made. I couldn't agree more. When I headed back for CNY, mum told me that dad wasn't that happy that I went to the States twice in a year. Sure, I know the reason, spending too much and blah, blah, blah. To a certain extent, I agree with him. But then again, I don't. Sure, he has his reasons and I have mine. I do not disagree that it is important to save money but at the same time, it was important for Babe and me to have a holiday together. There's no doubt that I love going to America. Well, there's probably 2 reasons, the prime reason, Eve is there, secondary reason, to see my cousins. But more importantly, it's to see Eve. Eve is my best friend and I do miss her heaps. There's never once that I regret flyin...

I have a love-hate thingy about heading back to Spore for CNY. I love CNY because I get to see most of my family and cousins. I come from a large family, or rather, dad comes from a large family and it's nice to see my uncles and aunties and cousins and just catch up with them. I got to meet up with Eelynn and Bruno, they flew in from San Francisco and my other cousins, Alwin and Aloysious. Think I probably haven't seen Alwin for like 5 or 6 years? And then, there's endless dinners that I've got to be there. I know, its strange coming from me that I do get tired from entertaining and eating. Ate so much to the point that Babe looked and went, gee, your cheeks have puffed up! And it doesn't help that Babe ate like 3 dinners a night and I was always tempted to eat! Food is just glorious in Spore. It was also really nice heading back to Spore to catch up with cousins and friends that have kids. Its always nice to see their kids growing up hale and healthy.
