A Very nice Singaporean lady

Two Sundays ago, I was introduced to another fellow Singaporean family. They have two girls, age 5 and 7. Her husband is doing a PHD in theology and she stays home and runs a toy library in Cambridge for the past 3 yrs. Unfortunately, our friendship is short-lived, she was going to leave for Singapore very soon, in fact, as I am typing, she is catching a flight Monday noon.

She was such a great help. Being an experienced mum, she shared several tips about bringing a kid around Cam, where to shop for groceries and other kid friendly places to hang out. Sat evening, she came over with 4 large bags of dried food for me, some pre mixed and sauces. Then on sun, she passed me her well used wok and big rice cooker! She even wrote down her all time favourite recipe for play dough, which I will try it out with Nathan very soon.

Thank God for allowing our paths to meet here in Cambridge, I wish she could be here during my one yr stay, but I have to be grateful that we actually had the chance to meet. Perhaps God has other plans for me with some other persons … I guess.
