Farewell

You can't repeat the past. Time, inevitably, eludes us despite how much we think we have it under our control. It's been close to a year since i've known my brother Yi Yi, and now it's time to say farewell as he parts to pursue further education; to chase his dream and passion. It's truly been so enlightening to have learnt from such a crazily passionate home-bred chef. The sheer amount of drive that he has and his love for food has not only served to bless others, but has inspired me and rekindled my love for cooking as well (Check him out here).

To Yi Yi:

The times spent cooking with you, whether they be for your clients or just for our fellow church friends, remain close to my heart. i can never really express how grateful i am for the prayers and for the friendship we've shared, both in and out of the kitchen. As you flip to the next chapter of your life in le cordon bleu, London, may you always find strength in the Lord our mighty Fortress & draw strength through Christ our Redeemer. i will most definitely be looking forward to cooking with (and learning from) you when you're back refined!

As Richard Bach, American writer, once said, "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes; a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends". Do not be dismayed, wherever you go. Isaiah 41:10 reads, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand". Take greatest care; i will be keeping you in my prayers.

Once again, i feel inundated with emotions i can hardly comprehend. Nonetheless, i remain, ever more grateful.
