Planning for all the Birthdays~

5th October 2005 (Wednesday)

Received a call from Kim that Dennis can't take over as the overall coordinator for Sandy and Mingzhu's birthday bash....He has got a wedding to attend..

Kim: "You ke2 yi3 ma1?"

Kim's pet phrase....hahah seems like she always says this to me! its very true that in the midst of serving God that we dun forget the ultimate purpose for us doing the things that we do, Its because we LOVE God , not on our own strength..its simple words like this, acts of kindness that really warms my heart. I knew that in the midst of busyness we have to seek God.
How many times I have wallow in self pity, and the pursuit of significance that I feel lost and unworthy and unwanted? brawling like a spoil child when i do not get the recognition that i wanted? God still loves me even though i do not serve so much, get my perspectives right first. I AM a child of GOD!

I took up the challenge, hooo hoooo, rushed through the next few hours brainstorming with Lee ( what can i do without you man?) furiously msn-ing, where to eat ah? what to do ah? who to call ah?

Lunch time...rushed out alone been a long while since i last lunched with my colleagues..bad Rachel! tried out the cafe at Shaw Centre and went to SOFRA Restuarant at Kim's suggestion.
the moment i stepped there at the restaurant..fell in love with it IMMEDIATELY!!

there were pretty cushions, and candle lit tables, the atmosphere is simply great!

Met the manager on duty that day Adeline, really blessed because when i told her i wanna organise for a birthday party for about 10-12 people, she took me immediately to a really cozy place where we could share and laze around after the dinner! The corner is simply great! haha..
Thank GOD! no need to search le..this place already has my heart. Adeline was very gracious, even though its the first time we meet, she agreed to reserve the place for me. That's really good business tactic if you ask me....Customer trust and respect.:) That week is still in the Puasa month for Muslims, so the timing has be very tight, we gotta reach there slighly after 730pm on Sat ... she has a chart even on the timings that the Muslims break fast..for a moment i forgot that though the restuarant is Turkish....its pretty much Muslim..:)

Booked the place immediately and rushed back to work...wahahah
