:(

I am a little sad.

All said and done: I have a really great boss. And the most wonderful bunch of colleagues anyone could have. But I have been specially chosen to enjoy them. I am so blessed.

I got a little excited this morning, driving to work. And a bit anxious. I will be relocating in eight days!

Ok, ok, it’s just Singapore. But it’s also a step towards the future. Unknown steps, but ones which would hopefully make me more and more like Christ.

Ok, ok, I will also be back at least once a month to complete my orthodontics. That will make the transition easier for me and for those I leave behind. I guess.

Mom is displaying signs of missing me already- she bought me instant birds nest. Since she can’t prepare them for me anymore? Actually, that’s a deceiving statement. Mom makes birds nest for me maybe once or twice a year. She just knows that I love birds’ nest- with rock sugar and American ginseng.

Crazy that people I miss most at the moment are my colleagues, no? Well, I spend the most time with them! I will miss looking right and see David talking to himself, and knocking on his glass pane to demand my calculator back. I will miss looking past David’s cubicle to talk to Janice (we never look the other way, strangely). I will miss Joyce’s hunger calls for goreng pisang (I keep telling her it is pisang goreng). I will even miss listening to everyone tease Sashi about ogling VS models at BMW F1 racing!

I have also just begun to really enjoy my cellgroup members and feel like we are really friends. Also just began to serve in a ministry. No regrets. Just grateful for the opportunities. Father, please impress upon my heart to continue to have this desire to serve.

Please go before me. Be lamp unto my feet and light unto my path. Lay every step with your blessing and protection, and do not give up moulding me. Amen.
