Phoebs Up

Many many
things happen since i last wrote.

Dad got into an accident.
Went to a classmate house.
David’s Birthday.
My 1st flu in

Japan

.
My 1st bicycle ride…

My dad’s okay , my sis told me that he had gotten into a motorcycle accident
and his right leg is quite bad but i think he is recovering pretty alright now.
Do keep him in prayers, he is still very weak.

I have 3 other classmates in my class. Teri an american. Marie a french. And
Sonya a Spanish.  I usually walk to school which is 25min (slow walk) with
Teri, that’s her talking to david at the fireworks. Well before the fireworks.
All of us have this wed lunch thing going on and well though we are all from
various part of the world, somehow being an expat in a foreign country bonds us
together.


I’m not particularly close to anyone , i guess the fabulous friends that i have
in 

singapore

are hard to live up to But they are interesting to talk to and our morals
and ideas are all so different will elaborate somemore another time.

Last wed, i went to Marie’s house 
and she bakes the best chocolato (choc in jap) muffins i’ve tasted so far, oh
well i’ve not tasted that much.  Maybe she’ll teach me how to bake
some.  One thing i did learn is that Women in any part of the world still
enjoy being given the idea of equality and though we don’t mind giving up jobs
and families to come to a far away place, we can’t help but sympathise with the
japanese women who in some companies are treated 2nd class..

I pity DAVID (my honey , my love of my life) sometimes. Despite it being His
Birthday he tried very hard to make me happy by bring me to

Yokohama

and i tried very hard to make him
happy by buying a cake and champagne. But alas no candle so…….

well
he looks happy enough with the card holder and Burberry towels that i gave him.

We even ate at a nice restaurant named Grill Kitchen.

Anyway throughout this few weeks the most important lesson that i’ve learnt is that God has been teaching both me and David many things including learning to love each other and others more.

I pray that my dad will come to know of the one most impt thing that i’ve learnt in my life— the importance and real love of God our one and only Creator.

* God will make a way when there seem to be no way*

Tick Tock
I can’t sleep.
The summer heat,
The humidity.

Swirling Yukatas,
Gigglily teens,
Endless shoppers,
Crowded street.

Cicadas humming,
trees swaying,
music at 5pm,
bicycle wheel turning.

My thoughts of summer
are not complete,
Cos there’s something missing,
you in my theme.

Read David’s blog it’s brilliant!

Here i am pondering on a lazy Thursday afternoon.  Just  twirlling my spag and gazing at the hot summer sky.  It sounds like a jungle here with the cicadas mating and in heat.  Been wondering alot about what David said that without me his life may be very different. A hectic job with less or almost no time in life if he wants to be sucessful. 

Made me think what would i be doing now if i wasn’t with him? Would i still be standing behind the desk wondering what to have for dinner? Would i be another just another girl wondering when it’ll happen?  Or just be contended with my life as an individual ? I’ll never know , i do know that this is a privilege to know God and to know David it took many heartbreaks and wrongs to make this right.  I just pray that i will have enough strength and wisdom from him to go thru it all with David.

Been thinking alot about family and friends.  A thought flashed my mind yesterday. What if i never see my family  or friends or what if i couldn;’t spend the last precious moments with someone i loved?  Seem like a long time ago that i had to leave that and i think i’ve realised what it meants -that man should leave father and mother to start a family.  Maybe i’m growing stronger, maybe i just need to feel like i’m going stronger?  The feeling is strange yet scary.

Maybe its becos it’s my 1st time away from mommy and ting and its soon going to be mommy’s birthday…..I miss home…i miss  fellowship…its getting better but it’ll never be the same

Just clinging on to the ole rugged cross wishing and praying that the trials that we go through will keep us stronger in our faith and that God in all his mercy will perform mircales on our families and friends.

I’ve got Joy and it’s down in my heart deep deep down in my heart
