Warm, Blessed and FuzzyGot the really blissful feeling even sitting on the steps, watching the snow-foam fall, sipping my earl grey tea, squeezing into the car just to get down Mount Faber, hailing the cab that God so wonderfully provided, and the nice, comfortable ride home, with the tzxi driver wishing me good night and to take care.
I'm just glad I didn't park myself at the library to study tonight, but decided to go out for a breather. With my geeky glasses, big baggy t-shirt and baggy jeans, I was in the most unglamorous state today, and it almost detered me from joining all you guys for dinner. Only read the sms when I left home in the morning for school to study. I was thinking, weee!, I've got real comfy clothes on to bunk in the library to study the whole day. Never did I expect the sms from Paul to meet for dinner. And was telling him, how I'm just not dressed to go out, not even to step out of school today. hehe. But somehow, looking geeky didn't stop me from meeting this bunch of friends. =)
How the boys have finally grown up, I told Min. Each time I go out with them, they'll make me feel like it's time to grow up. Think maybe God's trying to tell me something, to start planning ahead now. Maybe?
I like it how every time I go out with them, it's always comfortable, and always open. I like it how we can talk about anything under the stars, and I like it how we even playfully make fun of one another. I like it when friends are actually friends. I like it when friends genuinely care about one another, share each other's tears and joy. It made me feel like I will definitely have friends that will stay by my side no matter how far away each of us go to. Be it Australia, or even as close as Haig Road. Well, I don't really know how to describe it, but thank you guys (and ladies included of course!), for making me realize that WE have truly grown up.
Happy 21st Birthday Paul! 5 years! If you hadn't said during dinner, I wouldn't have really counted. hehe. Well, but it's been truly God's gift to have you as a friend, from the ACJC days, to the MRC days, to Krabi, to dinners with groups of friends and also Dan. Wow, going away for 6 years is going to be long. Feeling a little sad to see a friend go so far for so long, but I'm sure you'll be back for breaks and stuff ya? Don't go skiing too much k!
Don't know what's making me feel really nostalgic tonight. Oh, amidst all the singles I was with tonight, they made me feel how blessed I am to have found Jon. Even though Roger was going on and on and on and on about where to go for dates, what to do for dates, and even though Jon's not the kind who will plan something as meticulously as someone like Roger will, nevertheless, I still feel extremely blessed that I've found Jon. And very thankful.
Feeling very loved today. Even though nothing really special happened today, somehow spending time with you guys at dinner and even at Mount Faber makes me feel like I have friends to count on, and also a special guy (even though he wasn't with us) to walk through everything with me.
Thank God for friends, and the special one. =)
