It has been a totally awesome 12 days spent with my lovely S k y e.

A full 6 days and 5 nights were spent in Singapore, where I had the amazing honour of meeting S k y e's parents and her brother and also being welcomed to stay at their place. I love Woodlands! I really do. From where the house is, one can see Vista Point - this double storey community mall and a short walk from there is Plaza 888 :) hehe. I love how serene and quaint the community is. There's no loud traffic, no jams, everyone gets their own space and it's a lovely neighbourhood where travel to the city or wherever is easy. You see, I can keep going on and on about how amazing and marvelous the trip in Singapore was. We spent the last 3 days and 2 nights at a Changi chalet/bangalow with S k y e's folks and relatives. It was an awesome place! It's a 6-room bangalow, majorly spacious and one can see the coast from where your room is! It was such an honour to meet the relatives who drove and bussed all the way down from town after work for a family BBQ. The food was great, the atmosphere was amazing, but the best part is just being able to be there with her folks and her relatives. I wouldn't be doing enough justice by saying this, but they were an absolutely amazing family!

One of the moments that I'll never forget is when S k y e and I walked down the Changi beach boardwalk with her folks. Just being there to hear the waves crashing, walking as the sun set in front of us was amazing. And being Valentine's Day Eve, the sight of S k y e's mom and dad walking together and both of us holding hands, enjoying every moment touches my heart so much. Being there at the Changi beach chalet with S k y e during Valentine's Day was beyond words. It was our first Valentine's together after being with each other for 8 months plus now. I'll never forget every moment of that day, from the second when the sun rises till the moment when we walked by the beach boardwalk at night. I love you, S k y e :)

On February 15th, we bussed to PJ where S k y e met my family and stayed over for 6 days. How sweet it is to have a girlfriend that amazes me and makes me think about how God so wonderfully orchestrated our love and relationship together. Both of us had a wonderful time together but also when we went out as a family for dinner. S k y e was really loved by the folks. I'm beyond glad. I've never seen my mom being so excited buying stuff for her at the pasar malam and my dad who kept asking her to stay longer if possible and even asked her family to come over! hehe :) I like that. PJ became even more beautiful when you were here, love.

Yes, we finally did the 3-country thing.

How God made us find each other in Melbourne, fall in love and got together on the 15th of June 2005. How God led S k y e to work in Singapore when I was in Melbourne. How God showed His favour when she came over in June and December till January this year. How God led me to come back here when she was still in Singapore. And now, how all this unfolds before us.

We don't know how things will work out. All we have is a promise. All we hold is His words spoken over our lives. We know we got Him. And with that, we'll move on, we'll put one foot in front of the other, we'll march on. I'm already blown away by how God worked everything through in our relationship thus far, and it's only been 8 months. How much more awesome it will be if we keep on living and loving in Him! Again I'm reminded that He is a God that can do exceedingly and abundatly more than all we ask or hope for. You are our God and King and upon this Rock we will stand, upon this Rock we will be rooted and build.

Now, we'll prepare our hearts for the next step. God, speak for Your children are listening. Better days are ahead. We still believe there is more.
