27 Jul 08 - 鳳凰Typhoon in Taiwan!!

i realised i'm so easy to please.. i was still trying to digest my revelation last night and a minor disappointment this morning when i saw the great typhoon in Taiwan. I mean, it IS great! Can u imagine Grade 8 typhoon!! And i'm NOT in taiwan now?? I'm so going to miss this great chance!!

I love great winds. Typhoon, Cyclone, Hurricane, Tornado, Windstorm..u name it. I simply love these strong winds! I can glue myself to the news all day just to follow these winds.. When I was in taiwan, I love the feeling of 'almost swept away'.. In fact, when i have the urge to return to Taiwan, it's always happens to be the season of Typhoons. And this year, i'm going to regret for not being there now! Imagine - Grade 8 中颱鳳凰, and possible stronger!!
中颱鳳凰目前最大風速，在蘭嶼一度測到是14級陣風，而且它的強度持續增強，氣象局不排除會轉為強颱，而成大風洞實驗室可以模擬出風力強度，單單是輕颱的風力，就已經讓民眾承受不住，另外，就過去的颱風案例來看，鳳凰颱風雖是中颱，但已經吹出強颱風力，其威力不容小看。(NOWnews 27Jul08)

OK, at this point u'll say i'm insane. Why do i love these destructive forces..imagine how many lives and properties will be destroyed. But I cant help it! I LOVE GREAT STRONG WINDS!

I love the power of air when they come together in such great force. It's a miracle by itself. Can you imagine the air we breathe in every moment, every minute actually has such a great potential in itself? Yet, very often we breathe in and out, taking air for granted. It is so still and gentle, yet it has such great power within.

Perhaps cos i'm asthmatic since young, that's why i really appreciate air so much. I know how it feels when i desire for air yet i can even breathe in..i've to rush to hospital for medication and even hospitalised.. I really love air-it's so gentle when it's still, yet the power it can release is so great!

I am so going to regret that i'm not in taiwan tonight.. tmr Typhoon Phoenix will be landed in Taiwan and the WHOLE country is on high alert and declared National rest day.. Taiwan has seldom declared such holiday, though it has several typhoons in a year.. and to declare that for whole country! Just imagine that force that demands such urgency! I'm so so so going to regret for not being there now!!

Despite my regrets, my love for such winds really comforts me in my current situation. I can see God is at work - in such great force. I know He is here, working in our midst. i find such great delight in seeing these winds, they are such great works of God!
