<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Feeling lost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">With the recent announcement of restrictions in Malaysia, I can't help but feel overwhelmed. At the moment of writing, I am trembling, shivering. Perhaps it's my anxiety kicking in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rather than allowing it to overcome me, I think this would be the right time to say this would be the perfect time for all of us to band together and come out stronger than ever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the time to flee to Allah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It saddens me that mosques are closed for the next 2 weeks or so.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It saddens me that we are not able to perform umrah.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It saddens me that the numbers of those infected are increasing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It saddens me that the medical staff are overworked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And it saddens me that life, has become less than normal.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Am I scared?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Yes. In fact, I am struggling. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But am I optimistic we can overcome this?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes. Because I believe Allah is there. Allah is All Hearing. Allah is All Seeing. And Allah is the only one who can take the sickness away.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is not the time to fear the sickness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the time for us to flee to Allah. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">To make doa to Him. To ask for His mercy, help and forgiveness. Ask Him for strength and patience. Ask Him for things to become better by the day. Whatever that crosses your mind, just ask it from Him. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This is the time for us to remind each other about Allah. That He is in control of everything and He is the best of planners. Pray more. Recite more Quran. Make more salawat. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the time for us to look at ourselves and see what we can do to make things better. Look out for our family,friends, neighbours, and community. Give donations to ease the burden of those affected by this sickness. Avoid crowded places. Stop mass gatherings. Always wash our hands with soap and water. Focus on good hygiene. Maintain your distance. And assure others that things will insha'Allah,eventually get better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This is not the time to panic. Not the time for victim blaming. Not the time to find fault with others. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the time to flee to Allah.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even if you are not a Muslim, just do your best to make the situation better. Help to reduce the spread. Get tested if you feel unwell. Stay positive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">May Allah take the sickness away and heal those who are infected by it, ameen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A best friend. Some of us have one. Some of us have none. Until now, I still remember those who I regarded as my best friends. The earliest memory I had was in primary school. We were in the same class for three years and four months. We drifted apart after both of us transferred to other schools. Each time I return to Singapore, I cannot help but wonder whether I would ever bump into my long lost best friend. Would we recognise one another?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Years went by and I entered my late 20s. During that time I got acquainted with someone, whose character reminded me of my long lost best friend. We clicked. The connection was surreal. Yet, all of a sudden, the friendship came to a halt. The correspondences stopped. I had no means of reaching out. All forms of communication were entirely shut down. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">And just like that, I carried that pain of losing another best friend. The grief was unbearable. Just like my long lost primary school best friend, I too start to think, what are the odds of me bumping into my late 20s best friend when I am in Singapore? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Wanting things to return to the way they were seems impossible. The constant what ifs, only prove to cause more damage to the self being. So I move forward, and learn to come into terms with things.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">There are still times when I will remember both of my long lost best friends. And those deja vu moments can be too real at times. Yet I choose to take things positively and cherish the memories. If I had not known them, I may not have turned out the way I am now. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">K's friend, Brother Bao, is the owner and chef of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/alaminxinjiangrestaurant/">Al-Amin Xinjiang Muslim Restaurant</a>. The restaurant specializes in Xinjiang-style cuisine, so unlike regular Chinese Muslim restaurants, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Brother Bao churns out the most amazing dishes, with </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Middle Eastern and Chinese </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">influences.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While I do not usually write reviews, I am making this an exception. Mainly because </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Brother Bao has a delightful personality and despite how busy he is, he always makes time to chat with us each time we come to his restaurant. </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Brother Bao's restaurant has over 30 types of dishes and beverages. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before anybody starts asking me for red packets, I have to point out that K, despite being a Chinese from China, does not celebrate Chinese New Year. In fact, his family never celebrates it. Chinese New Year to them is just like any other day. Then again, they do not really celebrate any festivity, so this did not come as a surprise for me. Did that just blow your mind? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So what did we do on Chinese New Year? We went out, met some friends, had a nice dinner with K's niece, and we slept. Even the firecrackers and fireworks failed to kick the sanity out of us. We heard the sounds, we disregarded it, and we went back to bed. Best sleep ever!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But we did host some friends the day before. We had hotpot. For a brief moment, it did feel like we were having our reunion dinner, except it was not dinner. What we had was a late lunch. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The new stage in life? We are expecting something huge to kickoff this year, insha'Allah. Something that we have been praying for. Something that we have been yearning for. Something that would insha'Allah bring significant changes to our lives. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alhamdulillah!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We finally got the letter from Putrajaya Immigration! After months of waiting and feeling down in the dumps, we finally got the letter to bring my in-laws over. Am I ecstatic? Definitely! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">There are no words to describe what K and I are feeling at this very moment. Absolutely no words. We are just more than thankful that our application got through. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Chaotic last minute arrangements to bring my in-laws over. There is a lot to prepare. There is the visa collection, booking the plane tickets, right down to the nitty-gritty. Then there is also the need to oversee our ever hectic schedule. Loads to do, with little time to spare. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But what matters most is... my in-laws could finally come and stay with us in Malaysia for a few months!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Counting the days till that happen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The saga continues.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Almost a month has passed since I submitted my documents to the immigration in Putrajaya. Until now, I have not received an update regarding the status of my application. And I have grown tired of calling and trying to get updates.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am at my wits' end. I had wanted to bring my in-laws over to spend time with us. We have not met them for more than 2 years, plus the winter there can be horribly miserable. Year after year, the winter season does more damage to their fragile health and they suffer from ailments because of it. Perhaps I was too naive to think I would be allowed to bring them to spend the entire winter season here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At least I have tried. And Alhamdulillah, my in-laws understand the complexities. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Yet, I still have that nagging feeling that I could and should have done more. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each time I express this to K, he tells me I should not be too hard on myself. Some things are just beyond our control and we should just accept it. Perhaps it is not the right time. Or perhaps, there is a better reason why it takes like forever each time we have to deal with the immigration. Take it as a trial, our trial.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Yes; this is not Jannah. Until the last breath is drawn, we will always be tested. The one thing I keep telling myself each time I feel disappointed with something.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is still a lot to be learned.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">We had gone over to Putrajaya to apply visas for my in-laws. Not sure of the outcome yet as they are still in the midst of processing the application. Plus I still need to provide them another document, which is pending on my employer's side. Other than that, I really hope the application goes through as it had been more than two years since my husband and I last met them.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have to admit, I had the jitters prior to submitting the application. I was worried whether I had all the right documents and whether I would qualify as a sponsor. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alhamdulillah, things went far better than expected. We managed to get most of our documents ready in JB. When we went to Putrajaya, both the immigration and Wisma Putra officers were extremely helpful and our application was accepted that very morning. And I was assured that my combined income, from my employer and my writing gigs, would be sufficient to qualify me as a sponsor. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was elated. I am still elated. Never had I ever imagined things could go this smooth.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now I just hope and pray that my employer sends the document soon so I can forward it to the immigration. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Does that make sense?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Earlier this year I came across a group on Facebook called the "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/893062110869381/">Beli Nothing Project (Klang Valley)</a>". Here's an excerpt from the group:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Buy Nothing. Give freely. Share what you might not need anymore. </span> </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Post anything you would like to give away, lend or share among neighbors & friends or even a future friend here. </span> </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ask for anything you would like to receive for free or borrow. Keep it legal & civil. No buying or selling, no trade or bartering as we are a gift community. </span> </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Kindly arrange the logistics among yourselves... It may be a good idea to just give or take from someone nearby. 😁 </span> </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Let's start small & see where it takes us.</i></span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To be honest, I find the concept remarkably intriguing. I have quite a number of things that are still in good condition and here is a platform that would allow me to give it all away, for a good cause. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lo and behold, my new mantra: Goodbye things, hello minimalism!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In reality, my imaginary minimalist dream was a far cry from the idealistic reality I was pinning for. The fact that the group mainly consists of members from you guessed it, Klang Valley, made it quite impossible for me to part with any of my things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I, am in Johor Bahru.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And I would rather not go through the hassle of posting the items over because the postage fees for some of the items could cost a bomb and I prefer to give the items to people within my locality. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Weeks, months went by and after I did a bit of occasional digging around, I eventually found.... a local chapter!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/176744399747488/">Beli Nothing Project (Johor Bahru)</a>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Plus I found a similar group - the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/318468748681483/">Johor Swap Shop</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I reckon both groups could potentially be my happy place. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Planned to attend the Jazz Festival at Puteri Harbour. Too bad things didn't turned out as planned because both Mr Husband and I were still feeling slightly under the weather.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Even so, we did go over to the venue earlier in the day. The festival was supposed to start at 5pm, though by 2pm, they were already in the middle of the preparations. Seats were well-arranged and we managed to watch a bit of the rehearsals. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">We went back around 4pm. Could have stayed for another hour but I was already feeling weary from all the walking. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Later at night, a friend of ours shared some photos and videos of the festival. Everything looked and sounded amazing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Confession.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">In less than a month, we will make that biannual pilgrimage to Putrajaya to renew Mr Husband's visa. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Honestly speaking, I do not look forward to it. I get tired just thinking that we had been making the biannual trips to Putrajaya from Johor Bahru for the past 2 years or so. And the thought that it may continue for years to come, drains me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">But we do not have much of a choice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">The LTSVP (Long Term Social Visit Pass) for PRC citizens can only be applied in Putrajaya. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Thankfully, the process usually takes a day, or two tops to complete. Plus the whole pilgrimage thing sort of gives us a chance to visit family and friends in Kuala Lumpur.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Having said that, do I expect any changes to the policy with the new government?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">I would go beyond ecstatic if the renewal process can be done in Johor Bahru. That would be the ultimate dream come true!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">One of the things I had been busy with was doing the translations for the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/hayye-ala-al-falah-azaan-app/id1307126728?mt=8">Hayye Ala Al-falah azaan app</a>. Alhamdulillah, the app was finally released on 14 November 2017, on the App store, for IOS devices. </span><br />

This will greatly help the developers to make significant improvements, to make the app better for everyone.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Started learning the art of folding jiuhe earlier this year. Never really got the hang of it until just recently. Sure took a a great deal of time, patience and perseverance in order for me to reach to the level where I am now. And I am thankful to have been given the opportunity to go through this path.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">On another note, I have gathered a higher level of respect for those who make jiuhe as their main source of income. Even with the right skills, it still takes a lot of time and effort to create something that not only tastes good, but looks good too. </span><br />
