overwhelmed...and a tribute

Met new people on saturday.

after church at 6pm, norm had me gg for his sunday sch teacher's gathering at one of the teacher's house at bishan.. jln binchang or something.. it's HUGE. anyway, had great catered food ~ fried rice, battered fish fillets, black pepper honey chicken, veg, sotong ball with the cubed bread outside, choc and marble cake, and i cant remember the last one.. heh.. it was a meeting on how the sunday sch went, and what improvements could be made, even though i didnt need to be there, it felt like a good chance to meet people from church, after all, i only know norm and his family.

so here it goes:

to Ann : you're so lively and witty! she pays so much attention to what u say, and i bet she makes it a point to remember everything as well.. :) even though i've seen u ard before, i never got the chance to talk to u till today :)

to Serena : thanks for sending me home! i had an interesting conversation with you in the car, even though i may have seemed uncomfortable i really enjoyed talking to u, and yes, i HAVE seen u around church before, just that i wasnt aware it was u. :P thanks for telling me what i am, my inadequacies with life, and that i'm now more aware of myself.. was really shocked that you could see through me tho :P well, though all i can see is that you're a terribly loving mother (da, dear, sweetheart, honey, etc) and that your love for God is soo uninhibited :)

to Catherine-Ann: thanks for talking to me in the car! u have a wonderful mum, and don't play the music too loud dear! don't spoil ur ears :P

to Elanor and Jason : many thanks for graciously inviting us to your home, with all the food and Elanor making sure that our cups are always filled, with all the lovely 'door gifts' as well :P it's so wonderful that u guys have such an intimate relationship with ur boys despite their ages ( they still play catching with mum even though she's 50!) even though they're extremely well off, they don't have a trace of snobbish air. to Joel and oh no, i forgot his name!! anyway, to Joel, all the best in aki :) you're terribly gifted man.. he drew this amazing collage of the city from a bird's eye view, and it was sooo detailed!! at least 10 a3 pieces, at a tender age of 11!! and to ur older bro, all the best in ur studies!! first year med student, and he's grabbing all the A's.. hahaha.. respect.

to Ferlyn aka meinu: thanks for entertaining us with ur mission trip to China! it was so interesting, and for making me feel welcomed..

to Karen: oh my goodness! i thought u were about 24-25! haha well, must be the office attire.. heheehe.. great to have met u, even though everyone was about a decade older.. hehehe

to Leung wai : i hope ur tummy gets better! u seemed rather in pain from the food :X

to Joyce : even though we weren't formally introduced and i didnt talk to u, i can see that you're such a happy person! :)

to Benjamin, Kalai and Brandon: thanks for the trip to Elanor's house! may your leadership with the children's ministry continue to be strong and the team to grow.. Brandon's so cute! and stay a happy family always! ( i know i sound super cliched now.... -_-)

i hope i havent missed out anyone, i dont think i did :) but thanks to all for making me feel so welcomed!! but thank you for showing me how it is like to really show uninhibition (if there's such a word) for God, for praise and thanks..
