Italy 2005 I

I’m now in Italy for a trade exhibition known as Cersaie which is held yearly in Bologna. I’ve got so much to wrtie, but don’t have much free time on the net and worst of all the keyboard here is so different. Anyway, will write another post with pictures when i get back.

If you want to see pictures of Bologna go to google to do an image search or Flickr is good too.

Cleo turns 1 today! Happy Bidthday Cleo, Mommy, Daddy and Clié loves you! You are such a lovely baby!

All thanks to Pearl’s Uncle Steven and Aunt Mavis who not only kindly opened up their house last saturday to let us have this party, but also expecially to Aunt Mavis for cooking ALL the food and making all the preparations for the whole day.

In the afternoon, we invited the kids from our Church and they had a simple party. There were balloons, party bags, chips, cakes, sweets, etc. I think the parents had a nice time hanging out too.

You REALLY don’t need a hammer to kill an ant!

Just wanted to get this off my chest.

1 Cor 10:13

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
