Chicken Rice and Minds Cafe

What a fun-filled day. 10 of us! 9 roses (yes linnie, /rousiz/ haaa) and 1 thorn amongst us. Hey Liyang, dun you just feel so privileged? We went for chicken rice at REX and then head for my fav Rochor Daohui (yes, by then soowei felt super STUFFED but its rochor daohui u know? How can i resist right?) and then MINDs Cafe. That is the very place where all of us who went in with a beautiful voice came out with one that is husky and sexy. Why so? Cos we literally screamed and shouted as though we are going to tear down the house!!!?!!! But how to resist right? Playing with soowei!!! LOL. Ok this monologue is beginning to sound very narcissitic.

Anyway, its just some board games and they can be BORED games if i played without the great companions that I had tonight. As i went round to take some pictures while some of you are engross playing GESTURES, I saw how the Lord blessed me with such great friends for the past 4 years. As we part and move into another phase of our life, here's something that i would really like to say to you all:

1. Patricia Lee Xue Fen
Yes, thats how i would usually call you. Haa... remember it that way ok? Cos i believe no one else who ever cross your path is going to call you as affectionately as i would. *Wink. Thanks for all the free rides these years and being my 'secretary' at times and helping me with my bearings each time i get lost in NIE. Lol. Wonder how come i would but yes, when assignments set in, i usually walk around blindly. Thanks for being my 'walking stick' and guiding me around. Thank you also for teaching me all about cars and of cos the gadgets. Would miss drinking coffee with you and discussin about our flat whites. He he.

2. Celina Chew Chew Chew
Once again, i believe no one would also call you the way i do. Lol. Thank you for brining so much joy into my life the past 4 years with your crappiness. Crappy as it may be but yup, they are farnie! Thank you for being opened with me and let me know that i can be trusted. Would miss your laughters cos they are contagious. So keep that going eh? :)

3. Cherine
Each time i think of you, i can't help but to recall the way you joined our clique. Lol. It is so farnie but i so know that it is how the Lord created for us that opportunity to meet and ultimately, you came to know the Lord. Am just amazed at the way the Lord crafted this friendship. :) Would not really miss you cos i am going to see you weekly... keke. :) Yeah!

4. Linnie
From contract teaching to NIE. WHoa! See how our frienship grew? Seriously, throughout these years, i saw how you mature and yup am proud to say that you are no longer baby but lady.. oh yeah. Btw, i really enjoyed your singing. Its captivating and yes, in my heart you are the NIE Idol. Can't wait to have that chance to pick up my h/p and sms a vote for you on some Singapore Idol competition or something. :) Will miss your smiles, singing and definitely your animated and witty comments... you never fail to break a smile out of my frowns. :)

5. Hanis
Thanks for your invitation to your place for Hari Raya the last time, had a great time feasting and thank you for taking the effort to book this cafe for us to have our hair let down and such a fun time together. Its really nice hearing the way you love ur guy despite his erm, you know? Shower gel? Water? Aiyah you know what i mean. That love is unconditional and its termed agape in greek, it is very powerful. Stay that way. :) Would miss your courage when making brave retorts during lectures/tutorials. :)

6. Banu a.k.a Juvaira
How is stiff neck coming along? Your blurrness never fails to make me laugh. :)
"Hmm... i want to see the cards. " Ju said with such innocence tonight as we played Gestures and she was standing right behind her own team members. *Wink. No worries girl, still love you the same. Yes, would miss your gentleness.

7. Hah Hah...
As you read this i believe you must be fuming mad!! Stamping feet and smiling without showing your little oriental eyes haaa but yes, in my heart you are still my HAh HAH. Yes, once again i believe no one would ever call u that. Keke. Joanna, Thanks for being that practical lady who would often remind and challenge me to think twice before i act. :) Thanks for teaching me to appreciate chinese a little more as i hear you "sh sh shua shua" with all the idioms and phrases which many a times, i dun really understand. But erm... learning. :) It was fun baking at your place some years back, dun think i would ever forget that. It is stored in my 'sweet memories' bank. :) Would miss your intelligence and your dilligence in doing work that has greatly motivated me in doing mine.

8. Amy
Am just amazed at your flexibility, graceful dance movements and yes, you are made for that dance floor. :) Of cos not to mentioned, your alertness tonight as we played Snorta. You are fast man! Haa.. From your life, i learnt independence as well. And once again, i am so thankful to have you in the Kingdom of God. You can't imagine the joy I have each time i see you say your 'grace' and talk about church. God just has His ways isn't it? :)

9. Liyang
Hi there Mr Sim. :) Thank you for your constant affirmations throughout the past 4 years and not to mention all the "not- funny-at- all" Leo's jokes. He he. Thank you also for sharing with me all the interesting tricks which erm yes, by now i can only perform one. Oh yes, not to mentioned introducing Joey to me. He is great! WOW! I think i would miss him in fact i do though just that, it comes with a little fear haa.. Thank you for once being there when i just needed to be heard. Appreciates that too.
