活着，多好

在風和日麗的下午，吃着自己摘的，紅紅的水果，看着不太嚴肅的書。









屋子被葡萄樹包圍，綠綠的，眼睛很久沒有這麽舒服過了。在草地上奔跑着，跟大黑狗玩角力，跟愛人踢足球，這種喜悅，不能言喻。









小羊Bob。看着他，想起家裏的貓。然後發現，自己惦念的人或物，只要回到家就可以看見，著實是一種福氣。









跟愛人在路上奔馳，他駕車我看地圖，聼着At 17，Madonna，Santana，Robbie Williams，又越過高山又越過谷。












在湖邊餵鴨子。牠們一看到麵包，就從老遠游到岸邊，團團的包圍着你。鴨仔歌伴着浪聲，比世上任何音樂還要好聼。









雨後的彩虹，久久不散。









看到無盡的山脈，看到蔚藍的天，看到上帝的大能。









一覺睡醒，迎接自己的，是美味的早餐。









與愛人看日落。









早上七點半，在農場的母牛，被帶進牛棚裏榨牛奶。不久，隱隱聽到牛棚外有叫聲，走出去看，發現小牛原來從老遠的農場走到棚外等媽媽，待母牛榨完牛奶之後，兩母子就一起緩緩地走回農場。每天如是。“牠們就好像人一樣啊！”農場主人說。











在一個別人要上班的下午，在餐廳隱蔽的後院裏，吃着青口喝着啤酒，感覺着皮膚被慢慢曬黑。（現在的我黑得像菲傭一樣）











你說，活着，多好。

Goodbye Kiwiland

BB and I are now at Kiwiland airport waiting to fly back home. This past two weeks has been a blast. We have done the adventurous things (riding on a 4x4 across a river!) and we have had time to just chill out and relax (and snap loads of pictures).

As much as I enjoy being pampered by good food and sunshine and blue sky every day, I am missing home now. More importatnly I can already think of 1,000 post-wedding/honeymoon chores I need to do when I am back.

So stay put. I promise I will come back with an update (and pictures) soon!

You know you are full of blessings when...

- the weather was superb on your wedding day (sunshine and blue sky!)
- your best men, bridesmaids and groomsmen, being ever so professional, help you take care of all of your worries so you can concentrate on being the bridezilla you want to be/can't help being
- your maids of honour, having known you for so many years and having seen the worst of you, are willing to subject themselves to a day of hard work and dealing with the drama queen, in the hope that they will also get to see the best of you (Amy & Susanna, I love you)
- your close friends and family are the witnesses of this important moment of your life
- you get to marry the love of you life, and spend the rest of your life with him, for better or for worse
- your marriage is blessed by God and He sure was as happy as you are on your big day

A big thank you to all of you who were there at the church wedding ceremony and/or the evening reception. Words cannot begin to express how much it means to both BB and me that you could be there to share our joy. A heartfelt thank you in particular to those who travelled all the way from all corners of the earth to attend our wedding. We love you all.

-------------------

BB and I are now in KiwiLand. The food here is superb and the scenery even better. People say sometimes a place is so beautiful you just have to point the camera and shoot, no matter where you're standing. KiwiLand is just like that. More later. Now I need to make myself a chamomile tea to help digest all the oysters and seafood I had. Don't be surprised when you see me become a balloon in two weeks.

Panic attack

I am starting to have the following nightmares about my wedding day:

(a) my make-up artist failed to turn up on the wedding morning and I had to do my own hair and make-up (disaster);

(b) I snoozed the alarm too many times so that when I woke up it was already 11.30, as opposed to 8.15 when I was supposed to get up (disaster);

(c) while I walking down the aisle, I tripped over my oh-so-pretty wedding dress and had the worst belly flop in front of all the guests and made a complete jerk of myself (major disaster).

Panic attack again. I need fresh air.
