Glad my parents arrived safely

Received an sms early morning at about 5am from my bro to tell me that my parents arrived safely and are now in SGH. He left the details of the ward number and all. I told bro before I slept last night to sms me so that I know my parents are safe. Heard from my bro it was about 30 hours and mum was very tired.

I called at about 6am after making breakfast for CT..dialed my bro's hp no and he picked up saying that he has not seen our parents yet as he is on the way there. So, he told me to call about 15 mins later when he reach as I wanted to talk to mum. So, 15 mins later, I called and the phone was switched off. So, I called much later at about 9am here, which is 10pm in Singapore. Called my bro's hp again and now, he told me mum is in the toilet at home. So, I said I will call back again 15 mins later. And when I called home 15 mins later, Pam picked up the phone and said mum is still in toilet and will check for me. Then finally, my mum answered the phone. She was telling me how small the plane is and she was placed at the back of the plane. She was so hungry as she was only served sandwiches. We told me that dad was in good spirits and the "paparazzi" was even there,besides my relatives and family friends. Goodness!

I talked only a while as I wanted my mum to rest early. I just feel glad that they are ok. I went on to my computer to check email after talking with mum and in the morning, I chatted with Gek Teng (who is staying just doors away from my place) and with Marianne. My first time chatting with Marianne using Skype program. So, we were both pretty excited to "connect" via internet. She was telling me about Phoebe and my mum whom she just called. She asked what my dad would like..and I mentioned bringing Christian CDs..so, she went to look at her collection to bring tomorrow when she visits dad.Marianne has been my closest friend since 1997 when I met her in church youth camp. Never knew anyone during the camp and after the camp, we became good friends. :)

I spent the morning chatting with Gek Teng as well and telling her about the difference and impact Christianity has on my family. The difference when my family were not Christians, and now, when we became Christians. I was telling her how my mum and my brother has changed so much and how much peace we have ever since we accepted Christ. If this difficult period happened many many years ago, before we became Christians, I cannot imagine how to go through this. My mum would probably go hysteric. Gek Teng was telling me that she can see the peace we have as it was very obvious. She was telling me that if that happened to her, she will not be able to handle it. I was telling her that when people tell Christ to her, there has to be a reason as she tells me that her good friends are also Christians. I told her that if your good friend have good things to share, they will def love to share with you and not share with you bad things. Gek Teng seems rather open and I do pray for opportunity to share with her more. I am just so glad to have met her and known her and her husband, Kok Fong. They are nice people.

In the afternoon, I went over to Gek Teng's place for lunch as she had a lot of veggies..so I brought my lunch over and shared with her mine too. So we ate together while watching show. There is this funny show which we saw called, "The Guru". It is a Bollywood movie in English. Very funny as the Americans were all dancing like Indians..a typical Indian show with funny dance moves. We also saw Terminator show-the first episode. Went home at about 3pm to prepare for dinner and just relax by myself.

However at about 4pm, there was a knock on my door. Angeline and Gek Teng came over to visit me now. I did not expect it.. They stayed until 6pm. Once they left, I rushed to bathe before CT came home. But CT was at home when I finished..he seldom use the house key, so that was why he was saying how come I never open door for him which I usually do. I told him cos Angeline and Gek Teng just left and I was bathing.

CT brought home 3 chicken parts with 2 buns from his lunch today to let me try. I cooked dinner and rice. Today, I cooked yellow squash with beef. Yellow squash tasts a bit like zucchinni but it is yellow in colour and not green. It taste nice. I steamed chinese sausages-pork and liver. Cooked only 2 dishes as there is fried chicken. So, did not want to cook too much. I did not even touch the rice as CT gave me too fried chicken. Too full.

So, I put rice and dishes in fridge for tomorrow's lunch. After dinner, we watched the chinese VCD. Like to watch finish before Aug when I go back to Singapore for a week and return the VCD for my dad to watch. Hopefully, by then, he will be at home and can watch. The show is very nice. I enjoy it. After watching, it was only 830pm, CT was watching his fav basketball NBA finals...while I was playing my "Sims 2" game which my brother lent me.

I feel that God has placed me and CT here in US for a great reason and since I have known CT for only 2 years and we are married for only less than a year, this trip and this particular accident has brought us very much closer together. :)
