Woke up at five this morning to send my uncle donald off at the airport. it was really nice to be able to celebrate chinese new year together as a family:)

went back home to sleep and woke up at 11 plus to see multiple messages flooding my inbox. traveled down to j8 meet the school buds for lunch and for the bollywood movie. Must-watch indeed. according to the girls, I was quite a loud audience, what with my laughter and sniffling. but! the movie was really quite emotional, and I just couldn't stop my sobbing(!). there were so many scenes that really hit me, and two of which were when the african americans started to sing the "we will overcome song" which interplayed with Khan's own version of the song. Another scene is that of Khan standing up to tell the real story of Abraham, or Ibrahim as they call him. Wow, the truth about the story has never been shared in a clearer way. It is precisely because Abraham knew and believed that God's love would overcome everything, and that He would provide, that he was willing and able to sacrifice his son. I think my tears literally poured out of my eyes when I saw and heard how Khan shared about the story.

after which, sharon and I headed down to town to meet grace, carol and minghui. tried out B3...the only thing I appreciated about the place was the company and the Asahi beer. So yeah. anyway, we went to take neoprints as well, and it was fun to see how we are eternally young in neoprints, and trying out different poses was entertaining as well. shopped with great efficiency for grace's dress, and we picked out a mature looking dress which she looks really pretty in:)

ended up having a short coffee and hot cocoa break at Tully's Coffee. The mocha was quite pleasant, but the conversation was seriously the highlight of the break. shall leave it to sharon to describe more. we headed back after that, and I was quite glad I had the opp. to talk more to minghui during the train ride. we chatted about our own churches, and what we are doing in church, and how maybe we should introduce each other to the people in our respective churches(cause the more people we know, the higher the chance of meeting our future partner...)..HAHA.

but like I told him, I really do think the right thing to do now is to wait. when he/she comes, God will guide us to the next step. the funny thing was, he asked my about my ex eye-candy, and I actually shared with him about it. alright, even with the caffeine, I just yawned. so go to sleep now.
