My Tioman Island Experience

I have just come back from Tioman Island. It was a wonderful trip because I learned many lessons. I woke up at 4:30 am on Saturday to start my journey. I reached Tioman Island only about 4:30pm. There were many waitings and waitings throughout the day - waiting for the taxi, waiting for the tour bus, waiting for the custom clearance, waiting for the ferry etc. So I learned patience and slowing down my pace in life. But I also learned to accept and appreciate the slower lifestyle of other people.
Once I reached this beautiful island, I was amazed at God's creation. It's a heavenly place. I saw many things which I can't see in Singapore - flying squirrels hanging on the trees, monkeys making faces at you, fishes kissing your body, naked children swimming in the sea, monitor lizards snapping up chickens, corals mushrooming under the sea and most impressive of all, a night sky blanketed with stars and remembering God knows each one by name!(Isaiah 40:26)
So all the waiting is worth it. Waiting is important. Be silent and wait for God is the same. After all the endurance, we will cross over the other side and all the hardship is forgotten. God created many things for us to enjoy, so please good care of the Earth.
