Farewell Dinner #1 - Pastor & Auntie Cecilia

The "moving on" feeling becomes more real when we start to see more entries for "Farewell dinner with so-and-so" in the schedule. Yesterday we kick-started our farewell dinner tour at the home of Pastor and Auntie Cecilia.



Although we have been to their place many times for gatherings - CNY lunches, Christmas carolling, International Students gatherings - this is the first time that it is just them and us. And this time it feels a little bit different. I guess the thought that it may be the last time in a long while that we will be having dinner together just tingled up a bit of sadness. Nevertheless, the dinner was wonderful and the time spent meaningful. And Charis, as usual, helped with the entertainment to liven things up:



In case you are wondering, Auntie Cecilia prepare a lovely Japanese dinner for us - very much like what we see in Japan Hour. Sushi, sashimi, tempura.... And there was a very nice Lemongrass Jelly for desert (but we forgot to take a photo of it).

Elaine,

So cruel to allow charis to go on and on.

But it certainly brought a smile to my soon to be long and tiring start of the day.
