The New Chapter of Life

Just came home from the airport to an empty room...

My mom left...now I'm all alone...but it doesn't feel as

bad as I thought it would...

I have to stand strong on my own now...

Thank God for He is gracious to me...

School starts tomorrow...

Everything will be fine...

Summary of what happened...

Left the Brunei airport on the 16th Sept '08

Leaving... as I see my precious friends standing around me..

All I could think of was... "Wow, I'm heading off to London"

I felt sad... but only a little...

Some of them cried...or, well...teary eyes...'holding back the tears'

Most had their fair share during the farewell party for me and Bryan...

I didn't cry at that time...

I was prepared to go...

I was really almost moved to tears 

when Gabriel climbed the stairs up to Jolibee...

IN crutches!!!

Cynthia called to say goodbye from Malaysia...

My aunt called to say goodbye...

I felt gratified to everyone who came...

Then... It was time to go...

I hugged everyone that I can grab hold of...

I wanted to look everyone in the face for the last time...

Until the time comes...for me to be back...

So, boarding the plane with my mom...

There was a major surprise and distraction which kept me happy...

For at least 17hours or slightly more... ^o^

Those who know... it's the JJ look-alike!

Haha...He was dressed in the ideal look I have in mind...

Perfecto... I thought.

In London... I spend a dreadful night there...

Was crying a river... 

Luckily my mom was already asleep...

I missed Brunei...all of a SUDDEN!!!

I realize that I left the comfort zone...into the REAL world...

London is grEaT...IFF you are there with your FRi3nDs!!!!

But alone...It's just too empty...The place is TOO bIg!

Then, it was the journey to Newcastle...

My mom and I had to carry 6 luggages all by ourselves...

We got in the wrong taxi...with a very blur-blur driver...

In the end...we had to take the train...

THAT's the hard part...

My mom headed to look for trolley...

while I waited outside...

It was King's Cross station btw...the one in Harry Potter's...

I was looking for platform 9 3/4 

Obviously...it isn't there!

The Lord blessed me with entertainment...

While waiting for my mom/trolley...

I saw people gliding across the road in great speed...

Everyone seems to be in a rush...

As the wind blew against my cheeks...

I saw a lady fall...don't know how...

I saw a woman navigating a pram using one hand...

Saw a man smoking in a distance...and then walked towards me...

I started to think..."Gosh, is he dangerous???"

Thank God, nothing happened...

Was just paranoid...

There are all types of people here...

Smokers everywhere...sigh...

I HATE thAt!!!

This place is amusing...

With people buzzing about in various languages...

Unlike Brunei...where you can just understand almost everyone...

People stare at foreigners...

But here...everyone is foreign...

It seems that way...

I haven't spotted any Japanese though...

Just met a Korean today...haha

They say "BruNEI" instead of "Bru-nai"

Jap pronunciation... Interesting...

She's the third one who thought I'm from China...

Hoho...I'm pure CHINESE!!!!

I was homesick to death for the past few days...

Those who chatted with me would have known...

Hehe...Ren Wei...especially...

Thanks for all your prayers guys...

I will stand stronger now...

The Lord is with me... I know...

Would like to thank Yong Xi for her wonderful poem...

Was just reading through it...replying to her letter...

Rainbows appear after mighty storms

when things look their very worst.

Just when the skies are darkest grey

look for the rainbow first.

The rainbow is a sign of God's promise

that He will guide us through any storm,

That He will see us through our troubles

no matter what their form.

Thank you Grace...for your very accurate advice and encouragements...

You hit the bull's eye!

Thanks for the verse as well...

So do not fear, for I am with you;

 do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

 I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

                                          

                                                Isaiah 41:10

Thank you linlin (Ling Hui) for your "HWAITING"

And the verse...

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;

no one can snatch them out of my hand.

                                                 John 10:28

God will never let go of me...

That's why...I'm never alone ^o^

To Dear cO9...lol

We share a very special bond through anime...

Things will be ok...

Throw your fears away...

Thanks for treating me as someone special...

And to my cat tze tze...

Your mistress will never forget you...

Thank you for coming to the airport...

To my dearest annoying sister Hui...

You really do piss me off A LOT!!!!

But, I forgive you...from the bottom of my heart...

Haha... we are blood related...

No matter what happens... I have your back...

Love you...

E-mail me if you have any problems!

To ALL of you out there...

You are all blessings from GOD...

I am blessed to have known YOU!!!

Hehe...I'm long-winded as usual...

Sorry about that...
