Extreme Zen Not Available Here

Time like this,

it's really not easy..

I thought i could take it like a man, to make myself tough so that i wont be sad.
But as the time draws nearer for my dear Grace to go for overseas studies,
i am really feeling more and more depressed.

Though it's just for a year, yet it seems so far.

even as right now we are arguing about our specific issue, God seems to be
in the middle of us all the time.

Looking over us.

Telling us to show Love to one other.

With Love, we can tolerate argument, displeasure and conflict.

As the conversation develops right at this moment,
God seems to take control of our words, giving us a wave of overwhelming love
delicated to us just by Him.

WE thanks you Lord.
For the time from 2006 to 2009.

May we continue our relationship from now to we meet u in heavens!

Amen

It's an excellent trip!

This is what i can say as right now I'm writing this journal @ 4.39AM in the morning.
All the energy in my body drained away as the girls (Grace, Noelle & Jessica) and I
took a total of 28 hours (9hours ferry from santorini to Athens,
waited in Athens Airport for 8 hours and 12 hours on SQ 347 from Athen to Singapore)

4 days in Barcelona
4 days in Madrid
5 days in Santorini

It's all worth the effort.

Meeting beautiful people of Madrid, seeing beautiful Antonio Gaudi's architecture
of Barcelona and natural landscapes & infamous sunset of Santorini!
No wonder there's still longingto get back on my ATV(all terrain vehicle)
and ride back out the open road.

In fact, i thought to myself, Why the heck we come to "sunny" Santorini when it's bloody
raining cats and dogs?! Arrggghhh... First two days was horrible, wet and windy.
TOTALLY destroyed our mood of visiting places cos we actually look forward towards the
blue skies which we previously gotten from Madrid and Barcelona.

God is good. After a stake-out due to some misunderstanding in the group on the 2nd day,
He blessed us with complete sunny weather, allowing us to go all out through out the
last 3 days.

Spain was not complete without a night of Flamenco Dancing, too bad we're not in
the bull fighting season. Nevertheless, We still enjoyed the wonderful Tapas (dun we?)

I must thanks the girls who worked hard in providing wonderful home cooked meals in between
days of having European food (Meat with Starch, grilled or steam. The usuals.)
It can turn out to be quite boring as we chew on every piece of the meal serve to us.
So we decided to roll our sleeves and dished our some delicious Vegetarian meals.

With limited resources, we are able to maintain some sense of home while having fellowship
together, building our friendships and knowing each other more.

God, thank you for this beautiful trip before all 4 of us goes our separate ways.
Let us not forget that it was You who brought us together and make this a
memorable tour. I thank You for the 2 girls, always enthusiastic to take lots of photo.
i thank You for Grace who was there when i need her. I thank you for those Angels You sent,
to keep us safe and protected along the way. I thank you also for journey mercy all the while.

Lord, I prayed when all 4 of us leave, Let us always remember that it was You who blessed
us to be friends and through this tour, they could know You more.

I love You Lord and thank You for making who i am, to be able to provide the knowledge
you gave me, to do whatever i can for this tour.

May You bless Noelle and Jess their present and future.

Amen.

*blow*

dust came falling off the top of my livejournal, seems like thousand of light years since
i posted anything.

*Hanze wipe away the stain that's enveloping his long-forgotten diary*

Just came back from dxb/ist , had a fantastic trip with Grace travelling round the world.
i will miss these days that we spent, leaving our foot prints in foreign lands,
and polluting the air with our distinctive farts. (sorry grace, we do these often, don't we?)

*hee hee*

This trip we spent with a group of very nice crew, some getting married, sharing their experiences.
Though it was a short 6 days trip, it felt as though God stretched the time to let grace and i,
communicate with them and 'absorb' their life experience!

God is good, oveslept when we came back, almost late to take the flight back to penang and
He sent Uncle Joseph to call us!

And Yile Xiao mei mei is in singapore along with Andy and Wife.
Missed them dearly.

Thank God for all these!

Amen
