Had a bbq with my fellow contract teachers yesterday evening. Was fun setting up the fire, skewing the food and fanning it and such. The chatting/discussion session was also interesting.

They suprised me with a body shop gift. How sweet. It went like this..We reached Northpoint to do groceries for the BBQ. Latha says need to go Body Shop to get some stuff. I dragged Khai to RotiBoy to try it out since she hasnt tried the delicious, sumptuous buns before.Latha met up with us later in Cold Storage. She asked me to hold it for her. Weird considering she has nothing to hold. Anyway being the polite person tt I am, held on to it for her. Even at the cashier, i told her to get back her Body shop bag so i can help Khai to carry the groceries out of the store. She says no u carry this, i will carry the groceries. Hmm...all too weird for me. OF cuz those real close to me will know how absolutely obtuse i can get sometimes. Haaha...Maz, Liza and Ais should know!

At the taxi stand while Khai went to NTUC to get some marshmellows for later, I asked Latha what did she get for her friend..She says open it and you'll know. Since it's wrapped up nicely, i said dun wan la..So nicely wrapped, what for open..She says you gotta open it anyway. Hmmm....realisation struck that my sweet friends got for me the gift!! Thanks you guys!! I really thought you guys have forgotten!!

Life are for moments like these! Life are for moments when you thought your friends have forgotten to get you a gift when you have taken great effort in getting their birthday gifts, but in the end suprise you with one! Life are for moments you know that you are remembered in their lives..

Oh yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDI!! ANOTHER GEMINI FRIEND OF MINE!! MAY YOUR LIFE BE BLESSED WITH PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU! HAPPY 20th DEAR FRIEND!
