Bye Geraldyne =(

Tonight was a special night for the monthly meetup group – Gera, Mel, Abby and Bert.

Not only was it the first time we had yummy wholesome homecooked food proudly presented by the two master chefs of the day – Abby and Bert! They spent the whole afternoon preparing a whole course for us – plus ondeh ondeh desert (I got it right okay.)

=)

It was great fun because the whole – let’s take photo before dinner thing became our escape for the night – we kept taking so many picutres and laughing at them there after.

I’ll miss you Gera! You’re the mother of our group lah – way back in Kuan Tan man! =) Take care over there at Canberra and sorry I cannot send you off this coming Tuesday. =(

Abby, Melly, Bert, Gera – thank you for making this night a really special one, etched in my memory for its simplicity and distinct mark of our friendship – we don’t need big restaurants, loud music, “happening” activities(aka noisy clubs), fine dining at a restaurant –> just add a whole lot of sincerity and just being-yourself to our home-cooked yummo outing! =) I’m really glad today happened.

It was so cute – we did a menu for Gera, and a paper for her to plan her opening speech and entertainment – i.e. photo taking. hahahaha! We took so many retarded photos can.

Thanks for ARIPLANE, who introduced Jon and Kate youtube videos online to us on msn like 15 mins ago – I stumbled upon this video with a lovely song!

It’s called a charmed life – and the lyrics are lovely! =)

It’s a charmed life
Innocence wild
Crayola skies for a thousand miles
It’s a good life in the happily ever after
Last page of a very last chapter
It’s the story of a charmed life

It’s a charmed life
Unexplainable grace
Stumbling, you fall right into place
It’s a childlike world and you can feel the magic
Far from the typically tragic
That’s the beauty of a charmed life

I love the lyrics for its colourful way of bring across things! And for the last paragraph – it sheds light on the decisions I’ve made – that is all in His hands =)

This song described fully – how I felt today after dinner – I dare to celebrate the simple world the 5 of us shares =) And how we happily indulge in the simplest yet most powerful things of what our friendship has to offer – inner joy.

It was a great recharge to the week. =) Love you all – and Gera, must skype okay!
