Last time we met was when we were all still living in Singapore together and we had a small send off party for both of them among friends. So much to miss and cherish in those days and when we look back at them now, it feels incredible to be sharing life and love stories\u00a0and how\u00a0each of our dreams, one by one\u00a0in God&#8217;s time,\u00a0come into reality while we are\u00a0building up our new lives in different\u00a0countries now.<\/p>\n<p>With the Tasman sea just separating us, glad that we are just about 3hrs flight away from each other&#8217;s homes. And next week, I&#8217;m flying over to Auckland, together with Pixie (because Brian is sadly tied with his work), to explore some parts of Auckland and document more of Loibert and Stella very soon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15318\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0005.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0005\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1712\" \/><br \/>\nStella obviously missed shopping around the city. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15319\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0006.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0006\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1901\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15321\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0013.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0013\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1712\" \/><br \/>\nQuick group photo together.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15322\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0015.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0015\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1712\" \/>Ferry ride to Manly Beach.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15323\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0017.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0017\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1901\" \/>Grabbed lunch, finally.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15324\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0019.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0019\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1900\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15325\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0020.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0020\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1712\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15326\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0021.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0021\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1712\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15327\" src=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-28_0022.jpg\" alt=\"2015-11-28_0022\" width=\"2541\" height=\"1712\" \/>Weather forecast was supposedly &#8216;thunderstorm&#8217;
