Miss you already! :)

On Saturday, me and CC went to the airport to fetch David Lee back from Hope Santiago, Chile,

CC was having shepherding so i sat some few tables away to read "Chronicles of Narnia". In the midst of reading, could not help but noticing this really sweet "ang moh" table beside me..cos there were a couple with a new born baby and their friends sitting around the sofas at Pacific Coffee.

As i sat there observing them, they were just so happy to be with each other's presence, the couple and their friends who surrounded them..Despite the baby's brawling for attention, I really witnessed a heartwarming scene of catching up, hugging , and simply a bunch of good friends really appreciative of the moments....

When it was finally time for the friends to leave the couple, they hugged and kissed...and one last friend turned her back from them to leave...barely a few steps away..she turned back her head and shouted "I miss you already!!!..."It was just a few moments ago, she was just talking to them....and her heart already desires to be with her friends..

Moments.. How much do we take captive of every moment we have? with our parents? with our friends, even ppl whom we want to share with...

was helpin my mum to do her nails, she wants to board the plane for Taiwan today in style! :P
there..was just this moment, she turned and asked me about commitment to church,...there , that was a moment.....i immediately asked her if she believed in God and she said "No"..i was shocked..given my knowledge of her Buddhism roots...then i popped this again

"then all these years, if you have been praying to Buddha and you dun believe in the "gods" then who are you praying to?"

"I have been following this since i am a little girl..dun ask me so many questions la.."

Then the phone rang and it was a call for her...that's it..the moment slipped by before you can say "wah.." think she super smart, sensing that i want to talk to her more, she turned on the TV and started commenting on the shows....

then came the grim procedure of passing me all their "assets" all the insurance documents and papers...so scary..i assured them, my parents, i will pray for them...they would be safe...dun worry..

This morning, woke up super early around 5 plus AM to send them to the airport for their trip to Taiwan... had a good time talking to my dad about his colleague, my sisters on how they felt about the trip...then it was time to say goodbye at the departure gate...

I hugged each and everyone of them and turned to leave....wah....did not take leave cos i was going to serve in the Christmas services and also wanted to avail myself in case of any interviews....

As i walked away towards the carpark, my heart was shouting ..."I MISS YOU ALL ALREADY!!"

Funny though..even though its only for a week....its just different without your family around you....aiyah..should have echoed this thought to them before they board the plane...typical Asian behaviour where you hide your emotions? :P

Moments....take captive of every moment you have with God and with your loved ones...:)
