Had dinner at Bette & Doug's place

For the past 2 days, did not do much except to vacuum the house, clean toilets and sinks, usual email and TV. Have not went to Gek Teng's house for some time as I guess I feel lazy to visit her and I'm happy being alone at home. However, I chatted with her through internet and she told me she has not been feeling well. She had headache and had been resting in bed. No wonder she has not contacted me for 2 days as usually, we would at least say hi through internet if we are both lazy to go to each other's apartment.

Anyway, today, she finally chatted with me and asked if I wanted to go check our mailbox together. So, we did and we chatted as we walked to get our mail. She asked me if I was going out for dinner today...I told her I would be going a friend's place. Usually on Fridays, everyone eats out since there is no work the next day..but me and CT have not done so since we came back from Singapore. We only eat out on weekends now.

So tonight, we arranged with Bette and Doug to go their place for dinner. We met Bette and Doug when my parents were in hospital. I feel it was God's appointment for us to meet as it felt so surreal when I think about how we met each other.

Before I came to Mobile, my mum actually gave me Bette's contact as my mum got her contact from "Bible Study Fellowship" (BSF) database. My mum is involved in BSF in Singapore and she got a contact for BSF in Mobile and encouraged me to go for BSF since I have so much time in Mobile. So, my mum got hold from their database and asked me to contact Bette for more info on how to do BSF in Mobile. So, I emailed her and have never met up with her until one day, when my bro and Pam came..we were all in the car and going off from my dad's hospital to visit mum, she came to our car and asked if we knew Margaret Ling. I guess she knows my mum's name cos Singapore BSF somehow contacted MobileBSF to ask them to pray for my parents. SO, she came down to hospital to visit mum.

Anyway, to cut long story short...I finally met up with Bette and they have been a great blessing to my family-giving us music CDs and a CD player for my dad to listen. So, when I was back in Singapore, my mum actually bought some stuff for them to thank them and I brought it to them today and pass it.

They are a very sweet couple who has been married for 28 years. They were from New York and was moved to Mobile for Doug's work since his company, Integrity music headquarters is here. Integrity is a Christian music company. They were a great host. We had spaghetti (brocolli with chicken) and bread roll for dinner. Simple and good.

Ended off with dessert. Americans have sweet tooth..so they must have desserts. Ever since I came here, I have developed a little of a sweet tooth myself...only a little. :)

Ok, before we left, we took a picture together. Here is their house and them! Their house is huge..like a mansion. But they said that the land here is really cheap..not that they are rich. Now, only left 2 of them in such a big house as their kids all moved out already. Their dining room actually overlooks the swimming pool. But it was quite dark for me to take any pictures.
