This afternoon I suddenly had a thought. Who are those that I wanna thank until this time of life? Actually there are so many people that I am truly grateful to.
My parents definitely as they brought me up to be who I am. My siblings who were there to add spices and laughter in my growing years. We were not as close as we were when we were younger but I know I can depend on them when I need their support. I also would like to thank my lovely husband Joe who is still very patient and still dotes me a lot even though i can be so" xiao" sometimes. I also would like to thank my children who have taught me to be a better person. They have been there when I need a big hug and kisses. I do complained a lot about them but if I don't do that, I will vent all anger on them. This is my way of releasing stress.
Of course, I have to thank some special friends who have not abondon me even though I could be so caught up in my life that I neglect them. First on the list is Hong. We had been friends for so long that it's kinda scary to think that we know each other for so long. Our paths have gone really different and yet just a phone call and we somehow can connect. Gemini and Taurus not quite a perfect match but we still going strong. Somehow I am really grateful of her to stand by me for my ups and downs. She is one busy lady and I really appreciate her of remembering me sometimes. Actually many times when I received her emails it kinda brighten up the day to know that many miles away there's one kind soul who is watching out for me. Thank you Hong. I love your big heartedness, your smiles and I look forward to lazing around with you when I go back k.
The other friend that I would like to thank is Irene. She taught me a lot of things and we both are a bit" Aunty"and like to do all the Aunty things together. Surprising we clicked even though we have only known each other for a short period of time. She is one special lady who has taught me many things about RC matters and being there for your family.
Other friends that I would like to thank are Chu Suh, Yet Wah, Mdm Ong Hoi, Ai ling and yoke sim. Iou will not be surprised to know that they were my ex-colleagues. They supported me during my stay in Chongfu and made my stay there more pleasant. To be frank, the environment was quite unbearable if we do not have good friends to support each other. I have not heard from them for a while and I know why. The hectic lifestyle of being a mother, mum and wife can be really stressful. I can email them but can't really know how they are suffering. Let's just hope everyone is fine and happy there in Chongfu.
Not forgetting I am thanking those who have been there for me during my stay at RC and CCC. They have assisted me in so many ways that I really would like to thank them. Up on the list is Alex, Derek, David Tang, Adalene, Adeline, David Sim etc. These volunteers have not only made themselves very busy by serving the community but also been there for others when approached. Salute them for their giving nature and generousity.
I would also like to thank my LP 27 friends especally my Wildfire comrades. People from all walks of life came together to find themselves and find meanings in their own lives. They have taught me many things and the experience is priceless. If I am really rich, I would sponsor people to go for the course to find inner peace and find strength within themselves to conquer life challenges. Not really keeping touch with anyone and yet one phonecall and we probably will be together. The crazy things we do somehow had an effect on me till now, probably till the day I die.
I must also thank my very close friends, The G10 in University. Alice has always been there for me and I am glad she had found her passion for life. The others as far as I know, Hua long being a famous fengshui Master in Sing Ming. I engaged him to see my new place fengshui and he was really sweet to do a thorough job. Hope his business will be brisk. Zhi gang was teaching in Nan qiao the last time we met at Hokkien Huey kuan's teacher;s day dinner. As for the rest, no news from them as I have lost touch with them.
Somehow there are so many people I am thankful to. The list can go on and on. I just hope that at various point of my life, I have brought laughter, love and joy to all. I am unable to engage all but I really hope everyone is enjoying themselves and living life to their fullest. God bless all!

My Dear,
thank you for counting me as one of your many treasured friends. I am so honoured. ;)Ya, sometimes,it really makes me creep to think about how MANY years that we have known each other. Its that MANY years and now you are a mother of 4 and our hair are greying! But the thought of it also tells me to treasure this friendship more because it is so rare and precious and not many people can boost about a friendship that blossoms since primary school you know!!!
I am quite caught up with work and families lately. I feel quite bad for not writing recently and please forgive me. I think I have told you this, the trip to Malaysia with you and your beloved G10 was a wake-up call for me. You were so closed to each other, kissing and hugging freely, teasing each other and even calling each other brothers and sisters! I was quite devastated because we have never addressed each other in such an intimate way! I always thought that we were the best of friends until then. It was also then that I knew that I must have neglected our friendship for far too long. So it was then that I told myself to make concious effort to keep in touch with you. But I know I havent done a good job all these years. I will try harder because I know it would hurt a lot for me if our friendship were to die away.
God Bless!
Dearest Hong,
Actually you have been a really supportive friend all these years. Well! sometimes we are so caught up with life that we did not stocktake what's there in our lives.
I know how working life can be. so unpredictable and stressful. don't worry about me I am kept busy by by little ones as now it's there school holidays so I am busy watching over them. no more babysitting at the school from 8 plus to 3 plus. HA! Ha!
Miss you and do take care. BTW do you go for annual checkup? We should remind each other to take good care of ourselves. Actually to grow old with you and when we are too old to walk, we can still sit together to talk about old times!!!
