more than friends.

wow, the way val recorded the event makes everything sound so interesting... i mean, it was interesting lah :) it was quite sad that yiting and nuanyi couldnt even come, and oh fiona on her holiday too... but nevertheless, those who were around really made things special.

friday night it was nice just lying on the beach and seeing the few shining stars in the nightsky. and finally, we didnt have to converse via msn into the wee hours of the morning... we had a chance to talk LIVE! despite the little hours slept, it was really comfortable knowing that your friends are around you. i remember pastor debra when she prayed for unity said that we are more than friends but family. :) i enjoyed the night cycling, to just feel the wind blowing against our faces was a peaceful feeling, and a moment of forgetting all the cares and worries. whats memorable was the running in the rain together, the coldness and the wetness just gives one a sense of liberty, an out of norm sort of feeling.

the getting ready for dinner was amusing as the girls stood around fussing over my hair and my make-up. i said i felt like a white mouse. nevertheless, i feel so blessed by this spiritual family. :) a friend commented that ive really found a good community. guess i am touched seeing how you guys really tried to help out, be it entertaining yourselves, or even talking to dae, passing me the tissue to give to my grandma... wow who passed me huh? all the little details. its always the small things that matter.

the present! heh. thanks. i see the effort behind it all...all the 5 AMs and the 6 AMs :)

guess what's significant about a family is that none is left behind or forgotten. dont we all miss mel? its amazing but yeh we prayed together and the next day her blocked nose was cleared!

may we grow stronger even when mel's not around. thank God for this family.
