Congratulations to everyone who had survived cycling for more than 5 hours around Pulau Ubin on Saturday. Apart from the chain that came off OuYang & WuNan's double bicycle and the sole that came off from MeiLing's sandal, everything went smooth! Many thanks to those who organised. :)

Dinner gathering (CTSS)

Despite the initial mixed up of which Waruku outlet to go to at Marina Square, we made it to dinner at Marina Waruku at first level, just opposite Pan Pacific Hotel. I tried the Potato Mentai (pickled cod roe) out of curiousity. Serving was pretty small for S$8.80 but it tasted good with the hot cheese on top of it. I received a book 'Wood: Houses & Interiors' published by PageOne and a bottle of fragrance 'Baby Doll' that comes in a music box by YSL. Stuff that will surely come in useful. It is amazing how everything (people in this instance) became part of our lives - the people who know your 'quirks and twists'. Will surely miss these people.

Amazing grace

A true friend would be the one who would risk what you think of him, even to tell you the most 'foolish' news in order to 'save your soul';

The one true friend did the most 'foolish' to give His life for the ones who would mock Him. The grac-iousness we exercise was what this 'foolish' man have started.

How amazing this grace modelled and practised for generations - knowingly, and unknowingly! We just want to pass it on!

勇敢

Ah Mei's Song: 勇敢 (released June 2003)
seems to relate more now than when I first heard the song.

生命的伤痕　苦涩　 寂寞
最难的是面对内心那个脆弱不安的自己　
阿妹和你一起勇敢

1.黑暗中 寂静伸出的双手　
冰冷的空气像火　 害怕又收手
路太远　 谁的眼神能永远　
忘了跟你一起走　 怎样才会懂
记忆里　 爱应该总是温柔　
有了这一切　 才能不怕黑夜

C:是我勇敢太久　 决定为你一个人而活　
不能说出口　 那么折磨
勇敢了太久　 城市充满短暂的烟火无处躲　
照亮了沉默　 明白是寂寞 (爱原来寂寞)

2.谁说过　 爱会让人不自由　
所以你要我等候　 换你的追求
有太多　 快乐自私做藉口　
你让我最后　 把心痛当拥有

3. 夜太黑　看不见　 你在我身边　
心伤悲　泪水失去防备

Love China
