Last Unit Event Before Restructure

OK, been quite a while since I last updated my blog. Yes, more than a month and so long that H criticized that my blog is still stuck at Hairy Affair… Oh-kay! … Shall lift my lazy fingers to walk through those keyboards.

New Year come and go, including Chinese New Year. Today, 24 Feb, our unit celebrated the 7th day of the CNY, which is also known as everybody’s birthday. We did the traditional thing of a Lo-Hei get together. It’s probably gonna be the last time we do an event as a unit because come 01 March 2007, our CG will be transferred to another unit, which will not be under the leadership of Cindy anymore. Well, hope we’ll still have good fun together again, even though we are not in the same unit.

Since the end of last year and the start of this year, we had some good fun together, like doing a countdown and seeing fireworks at Sherry’s place, going on a trip to Bintan, seeing fireworks (again) together during eve of CNY at the River Hong Bao, of which we actually did the fireworks at River Hong Bao for the 2nd year. Am already looking forward to next year’s River Hong Bao!
Despite the fact that it would be our last gathering together before the restructuring, not everyone was able to turn up… *sad*. Anyway, I had the honour to cook for the unit’s lo-hei dinner. Although it was a Saturday, I had been up since 6am, worked more than half a day, rushed to a colleague’s CNY gathering, then hurried back to Toa Payoh to do the marketing for the Lo-Hei dinner (pant, pant!) and by the time I reached my sis’ place to cook, it was about 5.30pm to 5.40pm. Am glad I had some clueless-about-cooking but very supportive helpers who assisted me with cutting, soaking, washing, shallow-frying and eventually became the guinea pigs of my cooking. Some of them say good whor… and with such sincerity. I emm… really wonder if they are just being polite. :S I mean, I saw and tasted my own medicine and it is kinda… well... Eventually, we played a game so that the loser get to finish up some of the food. After the game, we were all glad that wastage was minimized.

After today, I’ll certainly miss the time we had as a unit. On the other hand, I do look forward to a time of growth in the new structure that is to happen. Yes, there is a season for everything, as King Solomon puts it in Ecclesiastes, but the Lord has also promised in 1 Cor 2:9 that "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him". With such great promises from God, I’m definitely looking forward to planting my feet on higher ground.
