With Love and Thanks

Dear dear..

I think by the time you read this posting. You will be in Singapore liao loh. Just a quick update on myself... I just had a hair cut yesterday. It was those barber along the roadside. My driver recommend me one. Hrm.. the place was a bit old, and the towel that use to cover me got a type of smell. Hm... Not very pleasant smell.. hehe.. But for the cost of 5 RMB, I also don't expect too much lah. At least, I had a hair wash after the cut.

Still remember that I wanted to change my spectacles but the price back home is too costly? After so long, I managed to make a new pair for less than 100 RMB loh. Of cuz, that comes with the aid of great bargaining skills.. haha.. I will be collecting my new spec only tomorrow. Then my dear will see the nutty Wee Long in action.. haha.. Hope you still like it, if dun like also bo bian. keke

Ok my dear, no pictures for you today. Only my life here. I miss you. Take good care of yourself when you are back home. If you need any thing, just let me know. I can still perform some 'magic' from Beijing to makes thing happen back in Singapore. Just like what you will receive on your desk. Hope you like it. hehe :) One thing for good ... now you can call me. haha..It is much more cheaper for you to call me than I calling you now.

Dear, I miss you.. I really do. Love you.. *Muack* *Muack* *Muack*

My dear,

Yes, I know you are heading back soon. But still I am here. Most of the time alone at home in the night. I cook myself, eat alone.. Or perhaps with the Golden Retriever staring at me having my dinner. I still had to wait for at least 3+ weeks before I can join you back in Singapore.

There so many friends and things to do back in Singapore. But being here, without any friends, isn't a fun at all lor. I am looking forward to hear from you each day. Even though it is a short one. The good thing about being alone here is that I can spend more time with God. That's is wonderful! On the other hand, God created us to be social beings. Taking to the dog each day do help to keep me accompany at times but I just yet to find out what God had for me in China so far.

Indeed, I realise how blessed Singapore is with good government and clean air. The traffic condition is messy and air is badly polluted lor. There is not many days where I can see clear sky or bright moon like what we had seen back in Singapore. I still thank God that I had been sent here. I had seen and heard more stories on how big difference can the poor and rich be. The corrpution cases that had cause so many people to grow rich over night. I had been praying a lot against it and for God to rise a generation of God-fearing government for China. Then millions or billions of lives will be saved. I believe that prayer will change lives and more people will turn to God.

Alrtite, my dear.. sorry for all the complains.. hehe.. I really happy to see so much of your pictures from the previous blog. Post more picture if you still have the chance. hehe.. I will keep what you posted on the blog in prayer. Do pray for me as well.

Take care my dear, I love you. No matters where you are, I want to hear from you. *Muack*

Dear dear... I got nothing much to say to you. But just telling you that i'm goin back to Singapore SOON!!! Yeah!! hahaa... =)
Pictures speak more then words. Here are most of the pictures.

And to my beloved Chick, JingJing...
How have you been?? I'm good in Thailand.. A bit dun feel like going back to Singapore.. But i know u will kill me if i dun go back rite... hahhaa... =) okie.. don't miss me too much.. I'm going back soon... real sooon.. So see ya okie.. Take care then...

Helllloooo dear,

* Muuuaaaacccckkkkk* Let's me begin with a good kiss before I proceed on.. hehe. .

It had been a long time before I last climbed a mountain. My collegue, both boy n gal, are pretty good climber. Unlike Singapore, where we walk up the hill, over here I literally had to be on my 4 limbs to climb up certain part of the mountain. My legs was like "tou fu" when I reached the summit. Of cuz, I didn't look that superb tiring.. haha.. Representing Singapore army, "siong" also have to act no problem like tat.. Yar, I almost forget to name the mountain. It is called
"Xiang Shan". I spent about 2 hours climb up the mountain and another hour just to come down.

Since you don't have much access to my pictures, I better put more. hehe.. I want to see your picture but too bad, you are not free. Never mind lah, I will still post my picture... You want to see rite? haha ..

I had taken quite a lot of picture but can't post all up here. I will select a few to show you. The rest, I will share and tell you more stories when I get back to Singapore. I am looking forward to that day. On the right, there is also 1 picture showing the olden back alley of the suburbs in China.

Notice the T-shirt I wore? hehe.. I am bringing your shirt with me to climb. But I simply just can't bring Baby Eeyore there... will be too tough for it.. haha
















Some words from the bottom of my heart. Please hold your breathe, if you feel that you had weak heart. Dun read now.. haha..It's all begin with
"I do miss you when I reach the submit. How I wish that you are here with me to admire the nice mountain scene. Haiiz.... my dear, even though I had not seen you for a long time [at least 24 days since you left], my feeling for you is still strong. Perhaps the song I had for you is...
"There is none like you, no one else can touch my heart like you do. I could search for all eternity long, and find there is none like yoooou.. " "

My dear, I love you.

Hi my dear dear..

Thank you my dear. I really happy to see your blog posting lor. True enough, I was pretty surprise as well. Never expect u to be online at this hour.
AIM Heart? Wo ye shi

Disappointed not to see any more of my pictures. Hrm.. I had been up quite late these few days. Meeting Vincent, then yesterday went to my manager place for dinner. I really wish to update this blog so that you can see your handsome boyfriend.. haha.. RUBBISH? Sorry, I didn't manage to pick up your call yesterday. Cuz I left my phone in the office. Perhaps it God's plan, since we agreed not to talk... hehe.. but I still got hear your voice in the morning for a while, so not too bad lah..

I am at my office now. My manager is not feeling well after the dinner yesterday, so he is not coming in today. Since I am already log in to blogger, I think I better put some of my pictures to ease the itch of my dear dear's heart. hehe.. Rite? haha.. This pic on the left is the Tian An Men and the person in the picture is Wee Long. Recognise him? keke

Another pic is the night scene of the Tian An Men. Nice rite? How I wish you are here with me.. Alrtie, my dear. I can't write for too long. Still got stuff to do. I will update the blog once I
got more time at home in the night.

A short impromptu poem for you from my heart. [will not be very good, so excuse me]

Lying on my bed every night, I will think of you.
Reflecting the moments of joy
Smiling at the moments of blessing
For your attractiveness had taken my heart
And your words had bring me peace.
I miss you, dear.
I love you ,dear
Always and Forever

*Tight hugs* *Long kisses*

Dear dear...

Happy 2mth Anniversary!!! hahaha...= )

WOW!!!

I saw ur post. So interesting!!! Good to know that you are having fun in China. Nice to see so many of your pictures.

Yesh, dear.. I must confess that i do not miss you that often when i was in Singapore. BUT i do still miss you after my ministry. You are my daily dosage of drug. without listening to your voice each nights seems like i just can't sleep and probably can't concentrate. But i think God has been very gracious to both of us. He has been giving us time to do our own ministry or work yet allowing us to keep in contact daily. Isn't it wonderful?? I think we must really thank God for maintaining our relationship eventhough we are so far apart, we still know that our hearts are closely knitted together with the love of God.

Dear... Thank you for all your prayers. The Singapore party was a great one!! i think i can see how God really works. Eventhough the numbers of people came were not many, only 5, i really thank God that 4 out of 5 receive Christ as their Lord and Savior. I really thank God for providing these people with open hearts. The games, skit, testimony... everything went well. I will upload more pictures next time. Cos i did not save the pictures in my friend's tthumb drive.

I can't really upload the pictures but you can check your mail. i have done something for you for our 2mth anniversary. Happy??? Present from your dear dear... I was thinking what can i do for you since we are both away. So i tot sing u a song, but i can't really sing.. so u know la.. i dun want to spoil your day, or prob the glasses in your house and ur ears. So i was really cracking my head, thinking of what to give u. Something that is simple, something u can receive from your end, something that i dun need to spend too much time doing. SoOo.. ur dearly beloved min min, come out with the most simple, most creative (hahah), most artistic piece of work for her dear dear. Please download the music first ok! if not, u got no music to listen to lar.. hahaha... =) There's lotsa pictures. i already blurted out on the 16th of june. Stupid me!! (knock my own head!). just can't keep my mouth shut. Hais... Too excited then everything jus throw out..Anyway, yesh... i have done this ppt especially for you. Hope u like it okie.. (u dun like also must say u like) i dun care. but i know whatever i do for my dear, my dear will like it. Correct??? i really dunno how it will look like cos the version of the powerpoint in the internet cafe cannotreally see the animation. But i still it still function fine at your laptop or computer. btw, can u open ur gmail? Is that website banned from china??

Dear dear,
i think for the next weekend, i wont be able to go online anymore. Cos i willbe having a camp from the 23rd to the 25th. i'm not sure whether we got time to come tothe internet cafe to surf the net. So, continue to post. I will go and read it whenever i can go online. So i am not very sure whether you can contact me from friday. Cos the campsite maybe quite ulu. So dunno the reception there is good not. So be prepared okie?
Thank you for showing me some of the pictures u took with eeyore. I'm really glad that eeyore is always there accompanying you.

okie.. Now the wishy mushy stuff... Haha.. Really to get goosebumps?? Hahaha... I know you wont have goosebumps cos you are longing to hear and see those words rite? hahaha.. "You rubbish bin" is this what you want to tell me?? Yesh, i love you, my dear... I miss you too... Yesh i agree that on our 3rd mth anniversary. it will be 6 days away from seeing you face to face. okie tookie... tata.. *Mmuack* *Hugs and kisses from me to you.

My lovely and beloved chan min,

Time now in Beijing is 12:12am, 16/06/06. Exactly today is our 2nd month anniversary. So fast hor? I am glad that even though we are not together in person, but I could still feel for you. I could still hear you, even I may not hug you. I can still see your picture even I may not smell you. Every time I get back my room at night, I will start to miss you. When I start to pen down the Love Journal, I am always hoping that the day we met will come very soon. haha.. sounds miserable rite? No lah, my dear. No need to worry for me, God had been with me since I reach China. He had bless me and keep me safe so far. I know He had kept watch over you as well, so I should not worry for you.

Hrm.. so update on me for you, my dear. You will see the address of my office on the right. My manager say if send anything to apartment will not be received and I will have to travel to post office to collect it. More troublesome lah.
Recently, I had been going around at night to walk and see the city and had tried many type of food, ranging from donkey meat, porridge, hu nan cursine to simple food like dim sum. I always had a good chat with my manager. His name is Edmund Lee, married with 2 daughters. He is an old man with strong reasoning skill and good knowledge of China history. As you may guess, during dinner, I will be his personal audience.. haha. .But ok lah, I dun mind. During lunch time, I will usually ask the secartary to buy back. The situation outside is too messy and hot for me to go and walk. Furthermore, my boss and manager usually buy back, so too pai say to go out and eat also.

Shopping here is pretty cheap if you know the place. But the design is not that good loh. Anyway, I bought a jacket for myself. hehe.. This is for running in the morning when the weather can be as cold as 21 deg. I dun want to spoilt your NUS jacket smell with my sweat. hehe.

I had mentioned to you just now that the apartment I stayed in got a Golden Retriever rite.. Here you see, the

huge dog in my place. He is just 9 months old. Very playful dog and lotsa strength. Sometimes, play with him also need to be careful lor. He is a handsome dog. But not as handsome as me of cuz.. haha. Rubbish? me again? haha.
My dear, next month this day, we will only 6 days before our reunion liao. That time, you will be in Singapore and I still in Beijing. It may seems a long time, but my dear, I know that whatever had happened is planned by God, and we just follow in obedience. Pray for me as I pray for you. Love You. Hold you deeply in my heart.. *MUACK* *MUACK* [for 2 months anniversary]

Hi dear,

From your picture, I see that the sunset there is very nice. Remeber tonight is the 15th? So the moon will be very nice. I will remember the moment where we marvel at the God's creation at East Coast. The moon and the stars which shine upon us. It was so romantic. I miss spending those moments with you, my dear.

Hey, how could you suffocate our Garfield? He is so cute loh.. haha.. Dun do that to him, it hurts.. Ouch! Like how you placed him on the bed in another pic, I usually leave our Baby Eeyore lying on the pillow when I leave my room. :) So cute..

Dear, this is my room in Beijing.

[Top Left]This is my working table with a TV beside, for me to watch World Cup at night.
[Top Right] My shelves to put all my toiletries, my T-shirt and notes.
[Bottom Left] My Garment rack that I fixed up just now. There are 2 notebooks for my work beside it.
[Bottom Right] The window view of my room. I stayed at level 22. So pretty good view.



This is Baby Eeyore when I am not in the room. My dear, I really enjoy looking your pictures. Or I should say I enjoyed looking at you and your smile.

Dear, you take care and drink more water hor..

Take Care.. Love you.. Miss you.. Bless you..
Dear Wee Long

My honey dear,

It was so blessed to see you online at this odd hour, 4:14:54pm (Sg time). I just came back from church and was packing my room. I was so happy.. and rejoicing when I saw *Chan Min* pop up for my msn. I was like is it real? I was still trying to calm myself down after the surprise.. haha.. Phew! I really want to see you, my dear. Thank for posting all those picture to reduce this itch in my heart. I really treassure every moment that I can talk and msn with you. I also thank you for Baby Eeyore whom I can hug and see when I miss you.

Okie, I am more calm now. My dear, my contact number is (86) 13681267216 [handphone number] My apartment number is (86)01064378416 [house fixed line] I will post my apartment address later, maybe later tonight.

I will be start my training tomorrow. Please pray for me that God will give me patience and wisdom to teach. I will be using Chinese during training. Pray that God will bless my tongue and be able to speak the correct word. The traffic here is not as well organise, pray for journey mercy and grace upon people in Beijing.

Now.. this is my story since I left Singapore. On the left, you will see a picture,bBehind me is the Cathay Pacific plane that I took to Hong Kong. It was drizzling outside. We still take off as punctually.

But the weather in Hong Kong wasn't that pleasant lor, it was having thunderstorm and the plane had to hover in the sky for 20 mins before we can land. The Hong Kong Airport was pretty nice but the stuff there are all branded and expensive lor. I had some noodle and goose meat for brunch. It was yummy. [Pic on left] I stopped there for 2h 30 mins before I board another plane. There again, due to bad weather I waited in the plane for another 50mins. The captain said that all the runway had been used up for plane to land, so we have to wait for clearance. In the end, everything was delayed and I reached Beijing at about 11pm. Nevertheless, I thank God for the safe journey. During the whole journey, many times, I was thinking of you. I just can't control it.

On the next day [10/06/06], I woke up late. So we just had dim sum for lunch before going to the office to settle the network stuff. I spent the whole afternoon there. In the evening, we went to the "Tian Fu Jing", the so called "Orchard Road" of Beijing. There are many back alley there selling all sort of food. In one the picture[left], you will see a stick of scorpions and seahorses. Best thing is that, the scorpions are all alive and kicking. Their tail is still full of venom. The cook say that once it is deep fried, then will posion will be gone. I try some other stuff along there which looks more "edible" haha.. As I say, the food here is superb unhealthy lor. Oily + Salty = Cannot make it. After dinner, we went to buy a pre-paid SIM card for me before heading home.
At night, I was like so kan cheong, because the IDD call card that my boss had doesn't have enough value to call you. I tried my M1 sim card, but cannot. I even tried Skype [Internet calling] but they doesn't approve my credit card. ArGH!!! I was like so panic lor. Finally I try my luck by calling using my pre-paid card. First time I called, it was complaining that the number is not yet activated. I was thinking, "Cannot be leh", at the same time, I was very worried and I almost give up. Then I say, I will try for the last time, using my pre-paid, hoping it is the network problem. ARGH!!!!!!!!ARGH!!!!! ARGH!!!! My dear, I finally hear your voice. I was like so happy, it was beyond description. I know the feeling of missing you, are it is not fun. Although it is a bit expensive, but I think it is worth it. Because you matters to me a lot. I mean it. I finally sense peace after talking to you. I was like laughing for quite some time before I can get into sleep.. hehe.. [so happy]


Today it was 6am and the sky is already pretty bright by that time. I went to have a jog in the morning while my boss walk her dog. I will show you the picture of the dog next time. It was pretty chill in the morning here.. around 21 deg.
After the jog, I was so tired loh. Have a good shower and dozed off again until church time, 1130am. We reached there around 1115am. It is not really a church but a service held inside an theatre. It is called the Beijing International Christian Fellowship [BICF]. The interesting thing is that, they required a proof that you are a foreigner before allowing you to enter the place. Perhaps it is by the China's law bah, I am not too sure. The service is pretty good, talking 'bout how to react, as a Christian, when people sinned against you. Matthew 18: 15-20. During the service, I was thinking of you again.. haha.. Dun know how to control that.. hard lah.

Service ended. We had lunch, I had wanton mee because I had a bad sore throat. Maybe it was due to the dinner yesterday night. Then we went for some grocery shopping before heading home at about 3:50pm. I was then fixing up my Garment Rack. I was done, so I decided to go online. And to my shock number, you emailed me. Then I saw you online. My heart was pumping so fast when I saw you online at this hour. I am glad you are safe. That's it! A long update from me.. my dear..

Thank God so such a lovely girlfriend. I love you, dear. So do you thank God for such a good boyfriend, like me..? haha.. Wanna scold me "Rubbish" again, rite? But I will still love you. *Muack* How I wish the kiss is real... *Muack* I miss you. I long to have you in my arms. Looking forward to the day we meet in Singapore. :)

Love you dearly,
Wee Long
