With Love and Thanks

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
