Today,Gek Teng came over in the afternoon to chit chat and get Orlando brochures for me as I got some discount coupons for her from the Florida Welcome Center when I went Destin Beach last week. She is more free today as it is Friday and she usually goes out with Kok Fong for dinner, so she does not need to prepare dinner. However, tonight, CT's colleagues arranged for dinner together at Golden Corral-this western buffet place which is great for steak lovers! There was a dinner tonight because some technicians and James' wife, Angeline would be going back Singapore next week. So, it was kind of a farewell party.
However, me and CT did not go because CT had to attend a Christian conference for guys. There will be bands performing, messages and all. It is quite a big thing in US and it is rare for them to come to Mobile. So, I encouraged and supported CT to go as it would be a great opportunity for him to learn and experience what God can do in his life. Somehow, I believe God will change him for the better through this as I feel so much peace to just let him go, though I would be all alone at home for 2 days as it is a 2 days conference.

So, CT came home at 5pm today to have early dinner. He left at 5:30pm as he would be meeting Bob, his colleague cum churchmate at this place and CT would hop onto his car. Heard some of CT's American colleagues would be going and they have reserved a whole block of seats of one another already. Think Bob's dad is going too. I think it is nice for CT to hang out with his friends as I truly feel we should have time for our own friends as well.
CT said he would be coming back at about 11pm. I would def wait for him. SO, at the mean time, other than washing up the dishes, watching TV and playing computer, I have been reading my book.
Tomorrow's CT would leave the house before 7:30am for the conference as it starts about 8am. So, I would be home alone again till 6pm when he finishes then we will have dinner together. I told Gek Teng this afternoon to call me before she goes Asian Mart as I would like to go with her to get Asian Veggies. :)
Initially, Gek Teng said that I could still go tonight for the farewell party, but I feel it is strange to go and not eat as it is a buffet place. I would feel out of place. But I planned to arrange a lunch next week with Angeline before she returns to Singapore to give birth.
