The time has gone slow when you are waiting for something important to be unfolded. I await 6 weeks to be finished soon so Wolfey could run around freely like he used to do. I await the arrival of Christmas so the busiest time of the year at work could be ended.  

T has got a dislocated thumb so he will stay home for the next 1 and half week, which is a good thing because he really needs a break. Don’t we all need a break? 

Holiday season is approaching. We know next year is going to be a special one. 2006 is not a best year for us, we were in Taiwan for a funeral and 3 months later, I alone was back again visiting a brain-dead relative who was important to me.  

Especially after the second trip, I come so close to the past which brings me into the future. Facing her after being apart so long has brought me closer to myself. The emptiness within me seems to be eased with this visit which enables me going towards future with new found energy and hope.

When I have a chance, I start to scan all the pictures that have been stored away in our cabinet. The picture on the banner was the one we took when we went to Maldives in 2002. That was our first trip together. I didn’t know at that time the man who taught me how to snorkel the first time will be the one that I spend the rest of my life with.  

Our life has its ups and downs but with the time & more understanding to each other, the bond between us has developed steadily. Looking back at the old pictures, we do create many unforgettable memories together and hopefully there will be plenty more to come in the future.  

Life is in slow motion so there is always time for now.
