I saw the fresco on the 'Last Supper' by Leonardo da Vinci today!!!!!! It was amazing...really. The dynamics, the colours, the space, the dimensions.

Thought that Leonardo da Vinci is really an amazing person. An anatomist, albeit an eccentric one, a physicist, an outstanding engineer, a creative artist...oh my. If he was living in this era, I would gladly be his apprentice. Gladly. If only he will accept me. Heh.

Today, I attained another citizenship. A Filippino. Cuz I met this lady in church during mass and she was a Filippino, and she thought that I was one when we started talking!! I thought that it is so cool, cuz earlier, we were in the Basilica of Milan, having service, and we were just exchanging smiles with each other and keeping our eyes on each other. Perhaps 'cuz we are asians, and asians tend to recognise each other, especially in a foreign western country. Though admittedly, I thought that Italians are quite friendly too. Met religious sisters, Fathers, a Bishop who just talk to me in Italian and kiss me on my cheeks when I don't really know what they are saying, but somehow, I understand =)

And I miss Singapore.

I never ate so many pizzas in my whole life. WAA!! I eat that everyday!!!! And I've been eating gelato almost everyday too. Melon flavour is my fav!!! Heh. I'm going to grow fat lah. I need to go for my marathon. NOW!!!!

I miss my ministry, I miss my friends. I miss you all!!!

Reading my mails, I thought that it is so amazing. Indeed, God does make a way, when there seems to be no way. Reading testimonies from a friend who managed to go to Rome for a leadership seminar, it affirmed me even more.

Sharing something with all of you, a prayer I said in Assisi, and it is a prayer that Saint Francis of Assisi said before the Crucifix too, at the Church of Santa Chiara...

All Highest, glorious God,
Cast you Light into the darkness of my heart.
Give me right faith,
firm hope,
perfect charity,
and profound humility
with wisdom and perception.
O Lord, so that I may do what is truly your will.
Amen.

-Yours truly ;
