Got a call from a friend from BG while I was there… I must admit that it truly made my day, hehe… Err, made my night, to be exact, hehe… Words of appreciation juz came so directly from this friend… I had to confess that I felt a lil shy, because of the praises that was given, but it feels really great to be appreciated!! Chatted for about half an hour (I actually couldn’t sleep… brains are still actively working, thinking way ahead about the dinner the next day)…
All I had in mind was the dinner at One U, so I didn’t really pack enuff for PD… Didn’t bring my swimsuit, so couldn’t enter the pool (actually, I didn’t plan to swim)… Well, the day really dragged on… My family was scheduled to leave at 3pm to rush home for my dinner, but then it really stressed me out when 3pm came and none of my family members were in sight… Anyway, we left at 3.50pm… Can you imagine? More than 45 minutes later than scheduled… What if there was a traffic jam? So, I started praying REAL hard, and thank God, the traffic was clear ALL THE WAY!!
We were just a lil late for the dinner, but better to be late than never… Met up with all the 14 friends who went on air for the interview, had some other programs and of course, not forgetting the lucky draw!! They started calling out names and I was praying that an English name will be called (all of them there, both the disabled and their parents, registered themselves using their mandarin names – including me… the only couple who had English names were my parents)… God really heard us, and the next minute I heard “Susan” being called!! I was like, “Wow!!”
Anyway, we really had a good time… Or at least I really had a good time!! It was a time where we could really express our gratitude towards our parents for having perservered through the hard times, taking care of us, “special” children… Really, it truly takes love patience and A LOT of endurance to go on taking care of us…
Now, like I mentioned earlier, I was excited about meeting both my deejays… Though one of them couldn’t make it because she had to be on duty (on air), the other one was there and I managed to still have a short chat with him… And a few others, of course!! Friendly bunch of people…
It was truly a WONDERFUL experience for me, personally… Both my parents and I were dead tired when we arrived home, but I truly admit that these were all worth while… I actually made a silent promise to myself to be more active in their (BG) activities… The satisfaction of contributing and giving is much better than taking and receiving!! Thank God for showing me new things, so I can learn as I grow…
