To those I love:
Merry Christmas! You know how busy people are. I am one of those. And Im not one who is able to keep track of friends easily. But I always treat anyone I know as a friend and I value every friendship I start.
Its only on special days that we (because we are humans) remember to think of every single person we know.
Whatever it is...Im sorry if I havnt been the best person. And I truly appreciate it when you take the time to understand and tolerate. I am blessed to know you because my life is pathed by the people I meet who shape my mindset. You are precious. And in case you didnt know..you are precious in God's sight.
To Jesus:
You are the most important person in this world and in history. I appreciate you for your birth, your teachings and your death. I know it isnt jus Christmas that I should be appreciative of all you've done and I do want to get to know you more and more.
You know my heart and you know that without your righteousness in me, Id be full of imperfections and sorrows, worries and unhappiness. Without you, Id have gone in other directions that I wouldnt be who I am now. And you have given me the heart I have now. To do whatever I am doing now. I give glory to you on this day. Its cause of you that Christmas is so extra special to me.
Thank you Jesus for everything, for those I know and love, for your righteousness and wisdom and love.
No matter what life is for me, I thank you for all of it. I thank you for closing n opening doors for me.
You are my security in life that I will never be brought low to the depths of despair. I will mentally, physically, emotionally stable because of you with me everywhere.
Love you Jesus because you first love me. :)
Please look after all those I know and care for. Coz i know you love them too and I pray for them to know you and love you.
Love
Ning
God Bless

Christmas is near!
I nknow I havnt finshed logging down the past few days in HK but just waned to take this time to wish all a Merry Christmas!
Its always a special time for me and I hope that for all of you, that you would have family and friends to celebrate with. Even if you dont have relatives around you, dont forget your friends. The best of friends are family as well.
You dont have to shower each other w gifts. Most importantly, let htem know that you love them and treasure them.
I waas thinking abt Jesus for the past few days and how Christmas really marks His life. And how Christmas should really be a day to send our greatest love and respect and worship to Him. But then smoething in me said that it shouldnt just be Christmas that we do this for Him. We should be doig this all year round! Christmas should be every day! And its only then that I understood why that phrase was said.
But aside from this...from a non-christian perspective...we should be treating everyone we love the same way. We dont shower those we love with gifts only on their birthdays, New Years, Christmas etc only. We should be treating them w love, respect and etc every day we are with them.
Something for all of us to think about.
Heres wishing u all a merry christmas! I love all of you and miss all of you! And I pray God keeps His angels on watch, by your side.
God Bless

Hong Kong! day 1&2
Day1:
We got to HK around 1.30pm. My cousins and our niece and nephew went to fetch us. We dropped our stuff at the house (which is uber dope!!) and went off to see meet the others. Dropped by the mrt station and had some snacks. Eg: fried octupus, dried chewy fishballs, fried Yong Tau Foo etc Delicious! :)
Stopped by at the local 7-eleven and found a durian flavoured Hi-Chew!!! Hahahaha Not bad lah. Not very durian-y.
Had a huge-ass dinner at a huge-ass restaurant with huge-ass aquariams full of huge-ass seafood! Seriously ate till we could barely walk. Haiz thing about chinese culture...can not waste food...another thing about chinese culture.....always order more than we can eat.....mostly to make things look nice.
got a headache before the night was done. Ate panadol when I got back to the house but the pills only made it worse. Almost threw up all the good food. Note to self: Trick is not to eat so much when you know you're going for a very big dinner. No matter what...resist all temptation to much/snack 4 hours before the meal.
Slept early.
Day2: Woke up had breakfast at one of those hong kong cafes. The real hong kong cafe breads is nto as thick but it does have condense milk and butter/peanut butter. Their luncheon meat and egg sandwich is made of steamed bread. :) I like.
BTW..I saw alot of pretty dogs today, :)
We then had lunch at some Maritime clubhouse. Ate Dimsum. :)
after that we went to see Gu Ma's grave. The cemetary is huge and its a christian cemetary. The statues are quite interesting and its atop a hill so the whole tip of the hill is a cemetary. Like a terrace...
Then we went to the mountaintop. The temp was 10-15 DegC. Yet the skies were blue and the clouds were pure white with a tinge of orange sun. Very nice! (in HK accent)
Then bought myself 2 shirts! :) 1 red shirt w Mao Zhe Dong on it and another white shirt w I love HK on it.
Had dinner at a hotpot place. Beef was good, pork liver was good. Stomach was have civil war.
Now Im back at the house. dogs and niece running over the place. hahaha
K gonna shower now. Pics will be out when Im done w HK. Till then...
God Bless

Just stating viewpoints...
Random thoughts:
- I now know what it feels like to be a judge...or a prosecutor. Thats why I didnt want to be a lawyer.
- Believing hurts.
- Loving hurts too. Especially loving too much.
- The easier 1 loves....the easier it is to be upset. The moment one cares abt something toooo much..the easier it is to be upset when something happens
- But drawing hte line is not easy yet it is crucial for survival. at least emotional survival
- Nobody really knows what you're doing or what you;ve done. So there's no point expecting everyone to fully understand you but it doesnt mean you dont try to make them understand
- Nobody can be superwoman/superman..only God can.
- Not everybody thinks, feels and acts like you
- Never cloud your judgement with an overflow of feelings. It sometimes steers you away from the light
- It takes 2 hands to clap. If you wanna clap on your own, by all means please do but dont complain
- You wont like everything that happens in life..but if you take it within your stride, you;re sure to come out of it a better person
Im past feeling like Ive upset the whole world. Not coz I dont care..but if I cared too much, it affects everythingelse that I care for. So while i wish I cud explain tot eh whole world...a whole load of explanations will only work if people actually accepted it. If not...then all the more "no point"
