i don't know if it is okay to give thanks for the volcanic eruption that caused the air travel crisis. but i still want to because the NUS team is no longer going to Amsterdam for their competition which means, tobs is still around, giving his 110% to planning the itinerary and getting all the last minute details sorted out. i was very uncomfortable with the fact tt he had to go for a competition right before our wedding. compounded by the fact that he was only supposed to get back to Singapore on the morning when we were scheduled to leave for Okinawa (he'll touch down at 0630 our flight is 1025), it was really insane. but now, no more such concerns. thank God!

another thing to praise God for - my period. sorry if this is really warped but it was scheduled to come on the week we are in Okinawa. which means i will have to deal with water retention and bloating right up till then. not good news cos the chapel is on Wednesday. plus, it would mean i cannot snorkel in the beautiful Okinawan waters or enjoy hot springs. but no more problems with that now. thank God for watching over us!
