What ’s the average time a Singaporean sleep i wonder?

I used to laugh at the thought that the Japanese sleep earlier..but its either they do not sleep much  or they sleep at 9 or 10pm (jap time).

My problem. I can’t sleep.

Is it stressed? Not used to someone not being beside me? Don’t know? But i feel like the last few weeks have passed so fast. I have less than 2 weeks before i return to the land of the rising sun.

Met some people that I’ve wanted to meet. Lost some weight, ate and drank a lot. Made up for lost time with some of them too.

Think i might not be able to meet everyone though …gomen (sorry).

I think after grandma’s passing ….we all grieved in different ways…We all try to go on , life is like that.

Yet in the night when we have time to ourselves we think of her.

I just found out that the boy, Kaion has 95% cancer cells in his bone marrow..Everyone is praying for him. I can only imagine how his Mom feels.

Losing a mother, Losing a child. It has to be difficult. How would i deal with something like that? Would I flee like before? Drown myself in sadness. Who knows ?

Yet in All my uncertainty i know that He is looking down on us…Yet you are there Father.

"Oh judge me oh Lord for i am so unworthy..i am weak in the flesh, i tend to hide from your holiness. "

It has been a most interesting valentine’s day.

Looked up an old friend at and we chatted till 2plus in the morning. Felt like old times :)

When home and just lazed the day away doing nothing. It felt nice actually…

Talked to mummy and gave her a massage, think i’m the only one awake.

D sent me a card….ha ha as usual he is always on time.I love the card :) He said " it is not good for man to be alone…" In my case not good for woman too, for too long anyway.

Truth is i Miss Him..really alot but being here i tend to ask myself, who’s the true phoebe? The expat homemaker? Am i losing my identity in japan? Or creating a new one?

Don’t get me wrong, i enjoy staying in japan. Helping out and doing the things i’ve always wanted to do. D says that this time is a fantasy time. Things may change. I agree. I’m used to change. Yet at times i still fear change but i know that God is there with us :)

Just that being here….reminds me of the many things that i would have to face when we return..

All in good and God’s time i guess. Miss D…
