back in sunny island Singapore

last day of gathering at my home, we made takoyaki of all flavors for brunch,
for tea, for dessert, dinner,for supper ...basically we sat there and
chatted and played, and worshipped and ate all day and night :)

in Chikage's car driving from home to airport. i kept falling asleep ZZzzz

even mr Nagoya airport woke up early to come and say goodbye ;'''(

the surreal goodbye

helloooo!!!! I'm back!!!! :) a few had ask why i hadn't post any new entries since coming back. i also dunno why. maybe becos i first started this blog only wanting to share with my jiejie and ah lin what was happening in japan. or maybe it's becos i dunno what to write becos i have too much to write. about what it was like during my last days in nagoya... about the journey on the plane... about all that i felt being back home...

i am thankful for the series of sermon on Via Dolorosa that my church was preaching to prepare us for Good Friday. i knew little about the way of suffering before joining full-time ministry. it's not that i've been tortured or that i've suffered so much as a missionary already. not that at all. it's just that now, i've come to understand better the evilness of sin, and why Jesus, even to the point of such a painful death on the cross, would obey His Father and bear the cost so that we may be saved. the knowledge of our sinfulness and His love for us had compelled Him to die on the cross. to reflect and ask myself what God's love and grace means to me and what it compels me to do with my life makes me cry. i know my weakness. God knows even better.

wedding prep's been ok. it helps when your husband-to-be often suggest to pray together. i dunno how we would have come this far if vic and i hadn't prayed. i'm also trying not to let my task-orientedness and perfectionism take away the joy of this time of preparation. still, sometimes they manifest themselves in different ways. the best part of preparing this wedding are the times in the midst of discussion when i'll think to myself "i'm so glad i'm with victor" :) ... and the worst part? haha ... of course it is when we don't agree and drive each other crazy lah! :)

this is the last day of march. April's coming!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!! i sense new things coming my way :) :) :) :) help me to accomplish all that You want me to do in this new month Lord. Amen!
