OLD AND NEW FRIENDS...

After the GOOD FRIDAY service.... we scouted around for people to do dinner together. The music gang that I sat with mostly had to continue their songs practice for Easter Sunday and therefore dinner for those poor dudes will be in a flash and for us, we had the luxury of TIME and COMFORT.

Then..... Bethany (Limei & MJ) came running in to look for Maoster and plans for dinner were finalised along with Shayn. (Lili & Henri). Yippee!

Oh dinner spent with OLD FRIENDS are really nice....first thing we TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING, WE CAN BE OURSELVES (scolding our kids and nagging at our spouse), SHARING FOOD and relieved the old days of where we used to spend alot of time together (in church, outings, this and that but MINUS the kids).

It's quite interesting to have meals with friends with kids at the same age becos we FACE THE SAME PROBLEM:

1. MENU SELECTION

Qn will be like... what can they eat huh. Will they like this thing?But I like that oh spicy noodles... sigh... and oh that super unhealthy pork chops... and we ask our partner... why don't you choose the one that your "son" will like..... so I can have that juicy fattening Mao-disliked pork chop.

2. FEEDING WOES

"Can you sit down and eat?", Wah.... let's clap for whoever who ate..... don't dip your fries into gravy.... NO, our drinks are not nice at all... drink your own water.... Don't touch that... its HOT... Hey, grab him/her... she's falling... STOP JUMPING..... FEED him/her NOW.....

In between those sentences we manage to exchange some non-kiddish US conversation

3. DORAEMON BAGS

I mean, Lili has 3 plastic balls in her bag, I have some selection of books and we don't really need to dig far to find that we may be able to construct a KIDDY PALACE from scratch....

Although dinner is not as leisure and relax as it used to be but spending some time with old friends that I love gives me a nice warm feeling....



While OLD FRIENDS meet... New friendship blosoms as our kids monkey around each other, getting the same food and same lectures at the same time..... and I pray that our kids will bond in friendship and be great pals in years to come - GOD FEARING and GOD LOVING Friends!

New Friends - Laughing their hearts out! A pity the OLD friends didn't take any pics, next time lah!
