She's Gone... :(
On Saturday 19th January 2008, my grandma flew back to Singapore. I sent her to the airport that afternoon... I hate sending pple off to the airport..
In the moments when I got back home by myself.. inbetween getting ready for the BBQ for Back up singers/worship leaders at my place...
I open the door, fling my bag onto the sofa..
"HI Ma!!"
No response..
"Hi Honey!!"
No response..
Then..
"Meooowwww..."
My heart melted. I am so in love with Milo. Now there's someone to keep me company when Im watching TV by myself.. There's someone that jumps onto my face when I fall asleep watching, and then watch me go crazy screaming.. There's gonna always be someone there, someone that needs me as much as i need him..
Umm..And you.. thank you for just being there when i needed someone to talk to. Thanks alot :) Sorry that i woke u up, actually im not at all sorry.. haha.Oh then after, I went to Coles to get stuff for the BBQ. THank GOd that people actually rocked up. About 30 pple came, I was actually amazed that i was able to stuff them all into the house!! And some brought their kids ranging from 3years to 9 years.. I thought they were gonna be bored, but they amused themselves with trashing my bedroom, playing hide and seek around the house, and finding little "treasures" in my back yard.. like a bird's empty egg shell.. :) They were seriously cute.. AMd!! Milo was a big hit!! Amond kids, and adults!! At one point his head was held by one child, while his rear end by another.. and shouts of "GIMME!" and "ITS MY TURN NOW!" were heard.. but we shall not go there, he'll get over it! WHatever doesnt kill him will make him stronger..
And I was able to catch up with people that I do ministry with, and actually got a chance to get to know them abit better.. and just chill out with them :) I also felt heaps at home (not cos I am actually home), but I realised that people do love me, and they do think of me as, well, a church family. :) I am so thankful that they came, and some gave me nice presents too!! :) Thank you so much (to those that read my blog).. And!! Thanks for bringing a dish, like uncooked meat, or a salad or a soft drink.. :) Appreciate it.. there was tons of food :)
So!! After a greased up BBQ, a very smoky backyard and a smoke-filled house, not to mention a trashed bedroom, and a very traumatised Milo later, Josh and I just sat there looking at the mess, and laughing about it! :) We cleaned it all up. (Josh was like "DEB I CANT STAND IT I GOTTA VACUUM". hahaha. Which was fine by me :) I would not have traded this time for anything in the world.. because this is one of the first times that i have felt truly at home, and like a family with my church people in Adelaide. :)
Today was good, Ben came over for awhile to chill and play with MIlo. Then, we headed down to play tennis with some of the church kids.. :) Man i had not exercised in ages (a full month!), and my right hand is actually killing me..because of my tennis racket and my fingers are shaky.. dont know how I am going to lift a pen tomorrow. But this is a good kick start to my fitness regime :)
This coming week I am so busy its not funny!! :) But!! I will blog! I WILL BLOG! and i will EXERCISE!! LOTS!! haha. Alrighty, gotta go to work tomorrow, then go for the Big Week OUt starting service which starts tomorrow night at 7pmish. :)
i love being busy.. :0)
deb's outta there..
