Rest Day
My housemates are cooking "bak kut teh" in the kitchen, while I am upstairs typing, having done my fair share (i.e. cutting broccoli and cauliflower).
Liting and I went to see Calvin off today and to get some things from him. I got a little bathroom mat from him and a letter which he instructed me to read out to the cell group on Friday. His last will and testament.
Seeing people leave is always sad for me, especially now that our cell group is so close. I've never met a bunch of utterly selfless people before, who care more about the happiness of others than about their own convenience. I really learnt alot from everyone in my group. People serve quietly, faithfully, and lead without even seeming to lead at all. I hope that when I go back to Singapore I'll be able to find another such bunch of like-minded people too.
Anyway, after seeing Calvin off, Liting and I went into town and I bought a new swimsuit (6 pounds!) and two new tops, one a yellow-y one, one a pink flowered one. The changing room in the sports shop was really dodgy because the door starts at my knees and only comes up to my neck! I felt surprisingly naked in my thin swimsuit and got out of there as fast as possible. I think it's a ploy by the sports shop to get you so nervous that you don't really notice what you're trying on, and end up buying low-grade goods as a result.
We also went to Bar 88 for lunch and the waitress from Malaysia asked us where we were from. She thought I was from Thailand! Well, it's not a bad foster country to belong to, don't you think? : )
