home made noodles. he has been wanting to try this noodles, the northern china style noodles.  after much research, he finally got around to do this on sunday.

until now you have no clue whether this is 刀削面 or 炸酱面. pardon for lack of english equivalent words as you really don't know the translation.

preparing the noodle dough

 cutting the noodles...

 making the toppings and this is the most important part besides the noodle making

 your plate of noodles. the normal toppings are cucumber, carrot and the minced meat. you added sliced radish to have your portion of red.

 mixing the noodle...

the noodles are good, much better than you expected, you're a little skeptical at first but after the first bite, you know you will like it and eat the noodle. a super delicious bowl after all.

you didn't have much share in making this dish, you're tired again even though you just wake up.  you're just a little worry about your situation.  you almost broke down last wednesday in london. emotionally at least. you may have a lot of work to complete but that should not put you to this state of mind. you try to remain positive but it has been hard.

today, you woke up thinking you will have enough strength the day but little you know your body is yearning for rest. after a mind struggles, battling between staying home and going to church, you finally decided to listen to your body, for there's another busy week ahead. you wish to be at the church, attending the sunday celebration but you know rest is all you needed.

little you know you slept from 1pm to 5pm. may be you are just physically and mentally too tired. may be the newly prescribed medication has got the side effect on you. you don't know the root cause but you are about to breakdown.

psalm 36:5 Your steadfast love,o Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
isaiah 40:31 but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall  mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

you know this very well,  and you will just spend more time to pray, communicate and wait upon the Lord, for He will renew your strength.

and you do feel much better after the afternoon sleep. perhaps you're just too tired after all? time will proof itself.
