Time really flies. I cannot and do not know how to further impress upon anyone who reads this about how true the phrase means to me now.
It has been exactly 50 years since Man launched the first expedition to the Moon.
16th July has come once more and the birth of this blog has hit another milestone. I give thanks to my heavenly Father for giving me so much and I could not thank enough for His guiding hand in my life. There have been many questions and I am always grateful even for the 'not so immediate' but never absent answers to my prayers. I guess I have truly answered the 'What do you see yourself doing in 5 years' time?' question faithfully by now and can even answer the next ten.
I also give thanks to Him for giving me a wonderful family and also a beautiful wife which also in turn, another splendid and loving family in the Woosters.
Every 16th of July, the wedding anniversary has always gone hand in hand with my birthday celebrations. It still feels a bit weird up till today, as it is often a blur at times to feel happy to be doted and on the other hand, to be romantic.
It has been nearly 6 months since the last entry. Coupled with the opening of the Wholesome Hub(a venture by Mrs Ussenal), we have decided to stay 'indoors' this year. I guess that NDP scale type of celebrations can wait until things are stable by next year perhaps.
Celebrations were instead spent with loved ones and it allowed me to see and appreciate life from a different angle. We get to see the happy faces of loved ones on our happiest day (wedding and anniversary) and what more value could be more than the happy faces on our parents when they share to be part of the cast of our own celebrations? Treasure these happy faces because I readily believe that there is no such thing as sufficient when it comes to happy memories. Instead of missing it, why not re-create them always?
Once July passes, the end of 2019 will draw near soon. It is also coming to a near 2 year period since we last saw our Korean brother Keith and also our beloved Twa Yi. I look forward to seeing Keith in December and the reunion will be timely and there could be so much to catch up on, especially since he, similarily to Mrs Ussenal, has also opened his own business venture in a language centre.
I am so sure time passes more quickly than ever as I can still vividly remember things of near 30 years ago. I can still remember Mrs Ussenal's face and fringe even at 13 years old when I first saw her face to face in the Science Lab. I can still remember the design of a purple stone ring I gave her as a 14-year-old as a birthday gift. I hope I can do so even when I am too old to type one day. Perhaps by then, technology will hopefully be able to ready my mind such that words will just transform with a click of the finger.
