Wonderful News
Praise God. :) Steve received his contract from SIA today and I am so happy for him. This is indeed a wonderful testimony, a walk and journey so exciting, so timely, so planned... These last 5 months have been exciting; they seemed like chapters of an adventure book, episodes of drama unfold. I feel his joy so much, inexplicable, unexplainable, tangible as I hear his voice over the phone just minutes ago. It is indeed in God's timing.
Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

From Bill Farrel about his new book, Men are like Waffles, Women are like Spaghetti?
I found this quite true, and Steve and I just had waffle and some spaghetti last week too.
If you make a diagram of the way a man processes information, it looks like the top of a waffle. He puts the first issue of life in the first box, the second issue in the second box and so on. A man will spend time in one box at a time and one box only.
When a man is at work, he is at work. When he is watching TV, he is watching TV. As a result, he is a problem-solver by nature. He goes into a box, figures out the problem, assigns a soultion and then moves on.
If you make a diagram of the way a woman processes information, it looks like a plate of spaghetti. Each noodle represents an issue in life and every noodle touches each other noodle on the plate. She is, therefore, wired to connect the important issues in life and is naturally good at multi-tasking.
The italicised portion makes me laugh because I think it's so true!!

There's a bit of child in everyone of us!
The melody is so uplifting and cheerful and I wanted to learn how to sing it, so Nobuko sent me the lyrics! Haha. :)
森の熊さん
ある日 森の中
ある日 森の中
クマさんに 出会った
花咲く森の道
クマさんに 出会った
クマさんの いうことにゃ
お嬢さん お逃げなさい
すたこら サッササノサ
すたこら サッササノサ
とごろが クマさんが
後から ついてくる
トコトコ トコトコと
トコトコ トコトコと
お嬢さん お待ちなさい
ちょっと 落し物
白い 貝がらの
小さな イヤリング
あらクマさん ありがとう
お礼に 歌いましょう
ラララ ララララララ
ラララ ララララララ
This is a song about how a young lady met a bear in a jungle and when i first heard it from a PSP game, it reminded me of childhood joy. It's akin to memories of me riding a horse on a merry-go-round or carousel in an amusement park with my parents taking pictures of me on the outskirt.

And Mana just returned from Japan last Friday and she wrote me a very touching letter on a heart-shaped letter-pad. Again... brings me back to primary school days. Then I collected lots of different letter-pads and some of them even have fragrances! Haha! Oh yeah, and then I would exchange letter-pads with my school friends and my collection would grow! Those were also the days where good friends wrote letters to each other and I remember waiting in eagerness for letters from my friends and replying to them. Nowadays, email has become the norm, isn't it? Anyway, I was very touched by the letter. :) Thank you!
