-i went to Tokyo last week for the annual conference (work related)
it was definitely good to be away from my little town for a while and go to the CITY for some excitment. it was good to get to see old friends and visit some museums and galleries....and to see Shina Ringo's live. (she was AMAZING!!!)


-the coming 2 weeks are just packed with jr high, elementary schools and daycares visit...Kids, kids and more kids!! YEAH!! hehe! on top of that...all my english classes and chinese class will be finishing soon so lots of parties are lining up...hehe!! and of course there is the Christmas party for the kids in town...and the end of new year party of work...haha!! how fun!!



-the wedding rush around me doesn't seem to stop
i just found out a friend of mine from HK got married and became a mom 2 years ago (!!!) and in 2009...2 of my cousins are getting married, Feb and March...a friend of mine from HK is getting married in June, friend from Osaka is getting married in March...who else? my other cousin just got engaged... i am pretty sure i missed someone...but you get the point...well, i am happy that it's wedding rush!! not funeral rush...><

that sums it all...i guess...

and i got to start making my new year resolution list soon too...

just one recent photo of me teaching in jr high yesterday

back to life without parents

so...my parents were here and now they are gone

their visit this time was a blessing for me

i never spent so much time talking and laughing and enjoying each other companies before with my parents

i thank God for giving me wonderful parents

people asked me and my parents: "don't you feel lonely (living so far away from each other)?"

our answer: "yes... but the three of us all trust in God and God is the link of our relationship. God is the focus and the Lord of our family. God is the heavenly father of us 3."

my parents not just provided me material goods
more importantly, they introduced me to the most powerful and loving provider who can satisfy all my needs.

thank you, daddy and mommy
thank you, my heavenly father

tomorrow

my parents are coming to visit!!!!!!
YEAH!!
it's kinda surreal but it's definitely exciting!!

i have nothing plan yet...haha!!
well, they mainly just want to see me...i guess...hahaha!

i gotta start planning tonight...

anyways...i have hula lesson tonight~
i love hula...the 75 mins lesson is a healing time for me
