Hanoi

now before i forget, in Grace's effort to learn chinese from the 2 cheena bias shes travelling with, she said somethng like 'xxxxxx to xx wo men de self'

people in Hanoi are really friendly lah. tho we really gana those kind of taxi driver who brings you to a hotel that u din mention. in the end we just stayed in it.

Halong Bay was not worth mentioning. i'm spoilt with better from 4 friends.

but i definitely had time off to just look at stars once again. and this time. i'm the one telling my friend abt wheres the north star and wheres scorpio and wheres all those good stuff. i feel like captain blake man! haha. the stupid junk boat was not half as rocky and the worse part of it: i din get to put sails! burr..

a month in vietnam sounds very long, but i was just thinking: the tour part of my trip is almost like a thord over already hai.. a month is clearly not long enough. we spoke to people from ireland who just took a whole year off just to travel! 2 guys. why they must be real sick of each other man. we spoke to a melbourner who quit his job to come to vietnam, who has tatoos all over his left arm which cost him 2 and a half thousand dollars. wow.

updates in a while. gotta go. bus is here. next stop to Hue!

hi brothers and sisters.

amazing things really do happen. remember i once told you about doing an internship this hols. remember i said something like i din wana do interns coz i wanted to enjoy the hols by travelling to many many places? in the end i thought i'd have travelled alot to places like bali, KL, 4 friends and then to vietnam this hols! and i thought i'd have time to like rest and worry abt wat to do when i come back from vietnam. probably prepare for sch or stg.

you'd also probably remember that i once talked about doing up my CV in half a day coz i was told to send it in. yesterday i went to the sort of 'interview' with my prof to this shipping company called Norden. and they briefly mentioned the internship though they are still considering whether they need both applicants or just one. the other applicant is also a recommendation from the prof. well the good news is they mentioned that i would be going to shanghai with the Managing Director for a week and i got the confirmation of the booking of tickets and the hotel even before they confirmed the 'application'! i do not know lah. but i presume they wont spend the money if they din wan me? hahah!! SQ somemore!! and stay at Westin hotel Shanghai!!

i hope you get that i sound excited right now, but the best is yet.

Relevance? this guy mentioned to me that they'd have trips on their bunkers and tankers. the ones we saw all day running round the seas during 4 friends! whats more amazing is that he wanted very much to tap the Indonesian market!! the seas which we were on!! the one that Captain Blake probably was saying that a young captain would look out to sea and wished they'd own a boat like his during their retirement! i magine that different perspective! imagine when i am standing beside this young captain he was talking about? in a nutshell, i am going back to sea!!!!! cept this time no sails to pull, probably a lot of carlsberg tho!

The Lord has opened my eyes this summer, especially for days at sea. and i thank all who've kept us in prayer during 4 friends. you were always on our minds during 4 friends. especially yin huan hoh!

yinhuan: thanks for being such a role model. we all see daniel chris and ben take after some of your character. you'd def hear more stories not from howe or me but from your boys. and they r no more boys man.

daniel: thanks for the constant encouragement and advice regarding this internship thing. i think it'd def be an eye opener. esp back to shanghai! where jason was like 2 weeks ago. i could pay visits to friends.

lucas: thanks for the encouragement. few would be as open as you are to share abt first impressions. it hit me deep :) i love the pic with me you and howe in it. blur tho! huimei!!!!!! shake shake shake!

see you all during family time tmr. i guarantee that it'd be a gd time coz erm... i'm leading worship hahah.

就是在一个这样夜

i remember Jacky Cheung having this song that goes:
“就是在一个这样夜， 我就会盼望你的出现。。
你有美丽温柔的双眼， 我可以看见。。。”

out of point. i'm not thinking of anyone right now.. but i was talking to myself. but more like imagining talking to my Dad. i can't imagine i'm going to repeat it when i see hiim one of these daes. i'm not gonna sae what i am going to tok to him abt lah.. but doesnt mean i wont tell you if you ask me. ha. :)

what a sleepless night. i lay on bed just to toss and turn and to tok to myself. i tried calling people whom i can tok to at night. i was so desperate i was scuffling to recall of frens who'd not be asleep. i failed. no frens? i'm not so sure. maebe i'm the only soul to not be asleep at 5 am. to illustrate my desperation, i found myself up on msn trying to find anyone at all. all i needed was to talk to some one. there was almost nobody there. man.

the amazing thing tonight? i realized there was someone after all, amidst all the pain and verge to insanity (i was really looking at myself in the mirror, and i looked awfully scary) i realised i was indeed waiting for someone like Jacky Chueng sang. i realised that there was someone after all. for the pain that Daddy caused, there was another Daddy to fix it. and that was my Daddy above. Wil, i know you are gonna laugh at this weak little boy, ha. for needing an anchor, and therefore demonstrating weakness? i think we all need to be weak sometimes. i could swim to an island, i could do marathon, but i definitely am weak in in my Papa's hands. y not? Girls feel when they demonstate the same kind of weakness when they r in their man's hands dont they? the feeling of being taken care of my lady frens? i'd more than love to feel weak if i could be taken care of sometimes. :)

back to the story. i realized i forgot that God was there all along. and so i picked up my guitar with that funny weird shiny A string amidst the rest of the semi rusty old looking strings (i just changed one of my guitar strings. no budget to change all 6 lah :P) and started to play this new song tt i've been trying to play. and i just felt better after doing so. its abt 6 already. i really dun understand how is it that wana sleep but cant sleep. insomniac!!!
