Hello. (:

I've been away with Char for the past two weeks in Koh Samui for our honeymoon... probably won't get to post photos here due to time constraints, but for those who're linked in Facebook, you can check out the albums over there. I must say it'd been a good break of sort... but yeah, I've put on some weight. Quite terrible actually. Must try to get back in shape again! Haha...

It's been meeting after meeting right after we're back... tonight we caught the movie "Dance, Subaru!" together with our sisters and Char's parents at Orchard Cineleisure.

It's getting harder and harder for me to make new postings... cause time after time I've found nothing post"worthy" to write... or perhaps it's due to the limited time that I have to let my mind wander these days, nothing really hits me hard enough for me to write an entry on. I've got some afterthoughts after watching this manga-turned-movie... so I thought it'll be good to jot them down here.

In short, the movie depicts a girl (Subaru) with a passion for dancing... and how her perseverance paid off in spite of all the hardships and heartaches that she went through from young (loss of mother, brother, and a really good mentor and friend). Just two takeaways...:

Subaru's mentor who coached her from young refused to sign her up for a dance competition under her wing and be her dance coach even though that would mean losing her (shan't disclose too much lest it becomes spoiler)... her words hit home: "there's nothing left that I can teach her".

Letting go is never easy... and I realise that it's a fine line of being selfish or for the other party. Years ago, I didn't understand... but now I do. There are seasons when I'll be called into people's lives... and sometimes it's easy to be tempted to stretch the time beyond my expiry date because of the bonds forged. That's where I've to keep reminding myself that whereas the seasons may be gone, the bonds, Lord willing, would go on.

We had a rather late dinner at the BBQ Chicken outlet there thereafter... and as those afterthoughts twirled round and round my mind in the midst of eating and chatting with deardear, our sisters and my new set of parents, I just felt thankful... that how God has been so good all the while, in that He places wonderful people in my life through and through to encourage me on.
