Can time fly?

It is Thursday, been almost a week since i left. I remember clearly last week around this time, i was still busy packing my baggage, my dear had such a busy time helping me pack. Time really flies and God has been good.

Yesterday, Geoffrey came to visit us.

Below are a list of names if you have problems pronouncing them.
Geoffrey --> Jeffrey
Erin --> Aaron
Ellen --> Alan
If you have more, please email me, so as to help others know how to pronounce them.

There is really nothing much to do here. Played soccer today with Sam, Kwok and Jenny. Sam is a female soccer player, and she is really good. Making me feel like an amateur. After playing for 10mins, i realise how unfit i was; i will be starting my training soon!

After the game, we just sat down on the grass patch and relax. I never really understand why they would do that - No they are not cows. In Singapore, no one really sits on grass area to chilll out. Jenny was rolling around, in Singapore, you will only see army boys doing that. To know how it feels like, i tried to roll around too. After rolling a round, i just wanted to bathe.

Jenny and Sam cooked dinner for us tonight, it was their turn. We had angelios, however you spell it. It was great! Then we played cards. In two days, i learn to play two new card games. 'Poker' and '******'. The second game has no name for it, yet. We ended off the night with a movie.

Recently i started reading a book, Desiring God, it was from Jasmine and Rosemary(Thank you for the book). The first time i read it was when i was going to the toilet to clear my tummy upset. It was a bit confusing at first , because of the word Hedonism, which was new to me. It means please or pleasure, somewhere along that line.

A short paragraph caught my attention. It talks about 2 groups of people, during the night, being under the stars. One was a person, having a torch. He feels safe and secure, because that light is near to him, but yet because the light is so near, he fails to see the beauty of the sky and the stars. The other was a person without the torch, because he did not had the torch, he was able to see clearly the beauty of God's creation in the skies.

It strikes me, as i thought how sometimes we could be so caught up with things happening around us that we forgot to enjoy and see the what God has done. As i read on, i will share more.

Thats about the things that happen the past two days. I will be off to sleep now. Pretty dreams, and remember to pray.

To my Dear,
I hope you are alright. Working under stress is not easy, having so many customers and being short handed. Even though you might make a few mistakes, dont let it get to you k? Hugz. Take it in the positive light, you learn to cope better with stress and get your menus right. All of these takes time.

You should really get a better webcam, my place has! that day i could hardly see you over skype haha. Smile my dear =) Orange is smiling everyday. Get some and rest and take a picture of your bugs bunny toe and let me see! haha. Last thing, come online soon k? then can skype again! Miss you lots. Night

I am glad the book has blessed you in some ways. It is one of the books that impacted me greatly and I pray that it will do the same to you. =) You are being missed, esp on Sundays when we play bball!
