back from china after 17days!
im finally back from china! and i realli do miss so many people while i was there ! so many thoughts and experiences to share ...about china ..
i went many places
huangshan where i almost died climbing up
the great wall of china >> which i almost died of fright climbing down ( i realised im abit phobic of heights after climbing all these mountains ! no more mountains for me except bukit timah hill ..wahahah)
gu lang yu in xiamen
beijing >> which i realli realli dislike due to several substantial reasons (people, food, toilets, sights)
fuzhou >> the food is so so so good !!! and my friend's family are so so very nice ..beyond my imagination.
Zhangzhou >> a village by the min jiang. stayed in my friend's home by their fish, prawn, clams farm.
i feel very blessed to be able to travel to so many places based on singapore $1000. This includes my air ticket to beijing on a 5 day tour, 2 overnight train rides to and from Huangshan, 2 coach rides, 17days of food and accomodation and shopping ! It was a challenge to stay within the budget and im so proud to say tt i did it!! Friends..hehehe tt means do not expect fantastic souvenirs..kekeke...
To my dear tristan
thank you so much for standing in the gap with my mom. I cant communicate my gratitude as well verbally as i can do it here. My sistor say u very on and i agree ...I remember how u will used to feel awkward sitting in with my big family, it seems like tt has changed ! My family is really impressed that u sacrificed time after work and church to rush and see my mom in the hospital and at my home. U didnt have the convenience of the car and still you did it. It was a sacrifice well worth it becoz through your actions my mom can sense how u really do care for her. Thanks for loving the ger and loving the people around her ( hahaha trying to translate ai wu ji wu)
Thank you dear for always being thoughtful. After im back from china then i realised tt u were troubled by some things while i was away. I know u didnt tell me then because u didnt wanna make me worried. Dear, sometimes i feel helpless because u r so much better with the word of God than i am. Such tt it seems u always help me more with my problems than i do with yours. The only consolation i have now is tt i can pray to God to help you through the trials you r facing. And i know tt u r one of the few whom sincerely love the Lord with all your heart. Jesus loves you and I love you too :)
To sis klessis
Thank you so much for caring for my mom and my family in general. My mom knows you bought the fish essence and appreciates it. My brother even said today that you are such a nice girl . hahaha you and tristan make me feel like im not doing enough ah ...heheehehe...
. I read your blog and caught up on all that i missed the past few days im away. So many thoughts and so many things i learned ! Your blog is such an inspiration to me. Whether it is a troubled or happy entry, i always learn sth from it. Sis klessis, i really appreciate all that you DO or even NOT DO for me. You always noe the balance to strike such that i would grow in my walk with God and as a person. God must really love me for giving me such a self sacrificing, humble, confident, eloquent, sincere, appreciative, discerning and patient leader.
To Meiling
Thanks for sharing your heartache with me through the sms. You didnt share the exact problem but i noe thats not important. Whats important is that i was given the chance to feel what you feel and the chance to include you in my prayers while im away. All of us are shaped by different life experiences, different and varying degrees of hurts and disappointments and tts why we speak and behave as we do now. Honestly, I used to struggle with understanding you. I felt i only knew u on the surface. that time I often prayed to God to help me love you as he love me and to bond us together. And truly God answered my prayers. I had a breakthrough in thinking. I was finally able to look beyond whats right in front of me to whats behind and all around you. I have been such a self centered person, so full of pride. And im glad God rebuked me and taught me how to love and accept and understand others. I really do appreciate God for sending you into my life. People wants to know you more and more. Isnt that Good??? hehehe...it shows that you're worth the time and effort. You're a great friend to me and tristan :)

Estee.. thank you.. :) I wish I could have done more for your mama, but it was kind of weird because I have not met her formally before yet.. Nevertheless, I believe your family will come to accept Jesus one by one.. The day will come when your entire family will worship and serve God together. :)
