The Sand of Life

God gave us memories that we might have roses in December. - John M. Barrie

Event 1

My wife and I went to see a movie with one of our friends today. We first met up in a crepe house and enjoy a delightful lunch there, and then we walked around a bit in the wonderful weather before we went to the theater. After the show, we drove back to church for the evening fellowship but caught in a huge traffic jam. Although we are stuck for more than an hour, we had a fun time talking about this and that, nothing grand or earth-shaking. After fellowship, we three went out for dinner with some more brothers and sisters. Nothing series, but we all laughed through our dinner. At the end of the day, we dropped out our friend to pick up her car.

Event 2

One of our friends is going back to Hong Kong after she finished her schooling. So we all go out and have dinner with her to farewell her. Since it is quite a lot of us, we don’t have a lot of “individual time” with her. We all, however, have a very happy time and she seems very emotional all evening.

Event 3

Finally we have invited the couple (that I have mention in August) to come for dinner this Saturday. I usually hate this sort of event but this time I am actually can’t wait till Saturday to come.

When I was younger, I will find this sort of “meeting” boring and boring and boring and boring. I don’t know why, but this sort of “meeting” nowadays will sometimes leave me with a sense of completeness. I am still not looking forward to this sort of things, but at least mow I am not as cynical about them. Am I getting “soft”? I am not being convinced that getting older is the main reason of my change. Moreover, I even feel that I should email them and thank them for the good time. Come on, this is getting too much. If this trend continues, I will soon send them a scented basket with some teas and chocolates!

I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because I am not. What I am saying is that what the heck is going on! May be I should blame the MRS for soften me up. Time to kick her behind tonight, MORTAL COMBAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!!!

If this is my last post, you know what’s the deal is.
