It was on the night of the 15 June 2007.
Actually the whole day was pretty great, had the last lunch with 
Gloria Phua, it was also her last day at work. Us girls just met up last week for a lunch and GP was definitely missed. (Btw, we didn't have bak chor mee haha) I'm going to miss your legs dearie ;) I'll recognise them anywhere, any time!

I will not delve into why Miss Phua did not join us for Planet Shakers that night *Gloria stare*
I met Fiona after work and we took the train from Raffles Place to Expo (freakin' far!) where we met Sinyee and Yan Qi and headed for Planet Shakers at the Max Pavillion.
After the concert we met Gloria at Bedok for supper. Well, technically, it was dinner for the four of us while GP watched us eat. I quizzed our dear Gloria about her other plans and I was quite amazed and impressed as she dodged around my questions. My dear, I already know all about it, was just going to see what you would tell us when asked point blank.
*shakes head* I'm disappointed that you couldn't even tell us...don't you love us anymore??
The most impressive point about dinner/supper was the fact that even though in the end we let Qi order (um, actually she just declared that she will do it despite our protests), she didn't go all crazy like the last time at Newton! Fiona did a good job at controlling our dear girl :)
But what I really enjoyed was our discussion of spiritual gifts. And the sharing (even though Qi dominated hehe). I take so much pleasure in hearing and talking about and just the whole feeling that I've grown spiritually so much just in one night spent with my sisters in Christ. It's definitely one of the best ways to spend my time. We should do it more often!
I was also loving the fact that I was in the company of 2 of my oldest friends, Fiona and Gloria, my primary 4 classmates. Amazing that one of the deepest impressions left in my memory of my life before Australia was time spent with these two chickies.
Gloria - I'll always remember your curly pigtails with the red ribbon from kindy and running all over Serangoon North with you after school. Oh! And it's so funny that both of us remember going to Fiona's house and the irony of it is that Fiona can't even recall that we ever set foot in her house! One of the things that I love about Gloria is that she always has a smile on her face :) and her little giggles..teehee..
Fiona - my primary 4 partner-in-crime (like almost literally, I think). All I can remember from my time in 4 Joy was mostly spent with you, until we got separated...and I only remember that it was because of a letter(?). It's kindda sad in a way...but Fiona, I've always treasured you in my heart all these years 'cos despite what did or did not happen, we spent a fair amount of time with each other and I knew you were a good and special friend of mine in the way little kids have best friends back then....
These 2 special girls have remained locked in my past, I really never thought I'd see them again. And I'm glad Fiona re-connected me with Gloria, through whom I've found and developed a special friendship with my homegirls :) *tears of joy* thanks for taking me in and making my life-changing shift to Singapore so much easier. And thank you to Qi for bringing back my Singaporean slang :) I'm still learning more slang from her but she's starting to lag...Nicholas is coming up with more new words for me to learn! Hahaha...mud language...
Aargghh!!!! Crap! I've only managed to look through 7 deals! 577 more to go! Faint....and I still haven't found the problem yet grrrr! Ok, I won't stay past 8.30, which is in 10minutes...ok better get a move on!
Hmm...just realised how sentimental this post is.
Thank you Lord for the treasures you have placed in my life!
