Bump into my old church friend
Today I am at AMK Hub level 3 food court for dinner. While I was walking towards my favourite fish soup counter someone called me "Pat, sit here !" I looked around and saw Doreen my old church friend. Well I have not seen her since I left my old church July 2003. I request to transfer church when I moved to work in Woodlands and study at SIM for my master degree. Between mid 2003 to mid 2005 I have been so busy with work and coping for my part-time studies I have not much time for keeping in touch with friends nor going out with friends.

Doreen was just married when I left my old church and was few months pregnant. Now her son is 4 years old. How time flies. I put my bag down and went to get myself fish soup. I eat my dinner while chatting with Doreen who also just finished her dinner. She said she has put on weight in compared to before and talk about what she has been doing.

After dinner I bought Doreen drink at Toastbox level 1. We continued to chat. Doreen is still working for same company in Pasir Ris in the finance dept. She just hired a Filipino maid to take care of her son after her son's nanny quit. She talked about her recent conversion to Singaporean together with her son. She find it much more convenient and asked me when I will do the same (Hmm have not think about this now).

Then she talked about her family in Penang. Her parents and her niece died in the Tsunami tragedy in Penang end 2004. Her mother just helped her with her confinement before return to Penang and went to beach with 9 other family members but ended up a fatal tragedy together with husband and grand daughter.

This is sad, reminded me of my coursemate who died in the same tragedy in Phuket. She and her whole family husband, 2 young sons and 2 months of baby. She was my Master coursemate in SIM who has applied leave to be with husband who was tranferred to US end 2003. Her husband and 3 children's body were not found after the tragedy.

After our drink and updates we called another old church friend Phoebe to arrange a meeting for dinner and to catchup. Phoebe is my ex colleague from another company which I worked for in 1993. I have known her since then for 15 years but we were not very close. Phoebe is a nice lady and brought me to her church and I accepted Christ then. But she is very active and always busy so I mix with many other friends in my old church. That is why though we know each other very long but were not very close.
Waiting for meeting up soon. :)
