3 more weeks to go before i leave Japan for good. Already the madness has started!! That is the eating and shopping one ;) Looks like i will be having a few more SAyonara Parties to attend. I feel a little bitter sweet about leaving here, truly.
My church friends organized a wonderful baby shower for us on the 29th of june and the organizer told me that it had been one of their largest and most successful one. Seeing my friends come to celebrate our joy (even if our baby hasn`t been born)truly was touching for D and me. We played games had tea and snacks and even had an
opening present ceremony. All in true American style, that`s what they told us. Thank you Junko and Kyoko and all the lovely presents that we have received.
Just in 3 years how we have come to know these people as extensions of our family, i could not help but tear a little when i said thank you to all of them. I cannot imagine how i would be able to hold my emotions when i say my farewell speech in church in the near future. It has been so wonderful how people from all over the world (America, UK, Japan, Asia even Africa) have been congregating in a church like this and how homely the atmosphere has been. I can only pray that the Lord will lead us to a church in Singapore that will be as rooted and friendly as MCC.EAting at Pam`s place

San, Cat, Vicky and KarenPamela, Moi, Fanny and Lulu
Happiness is an overflowing of friendship and belly food ;p
I am also going to miss my Singapore Pals over in Japan. I have met mothers that inspire me and made friends that i have had many a good meal with (San and gang!) Let`s meet up when you are in sing! And thanks Pamela for having us over for lunch ;)
Think i really have to start packing and sorting out stuff. We are going to sort into 5 different sections.
Things to give, things to sell, things going to mom`s place and things to store. Oh and things to throw. I must really start packing!!!!!
I have to stop buying things too. Had a good talk with David yesterday and i do agree with the rising cost of everything and our new baby. We or rather i have to be more thrifty. For the future.
Shall miss Japan but looking forward to returning home to my homeland filled with humidity and people that i love.

* Baby update- He is 27 weeks now. Aiyo can kick like Ninjia and sometimes punch too..hee hee.. Blessed belly ;p The greatest news i heard last week is: My closest Coz is going to have a baby too, 2 months younger!!! Baby`s kicking as i type this..ahha.How wonderful and blessed we are!! Praise God* ** Eye update- The stye is not a stye but a Chalazion. Meaning small lump in Greek. It refers to a swelling in the eyelid caused by inflamation of 1 small oil producing glands located in the upper and lower eyelids.
The eye specialist told me to just placed warm compresses 2 times a day, 5 mins each and to put the ointment that she gave me.
It`s been almost 1 and a half months now since i got it. Sighz! Please pray that God will heal it! It is getting smaller and she told me it will heal in a few weeks.
