Farewell party at Alex & Wendy's house

Date: 18th July 2009
Venue: Alex & Wendy's house

Wendy called us one day to invite us to her house for farewell dinner.We tried to arrange on week day, but she kept on saying it was not convenient for her. So, we finally got it arranged on Saturday.

Now, here come another problem, our dear friend Min Jie will come all the way from London to bid us farewell. He will reach Birmingham at about 10pm and need us to fetch him from thecoach station..... wow....So, we quickly rang Wendy to ask herwhether can we leave earlier after the dinner. However, shewas quick reluctant to let us go off earlier. So, we are stucked!!!

At this time, our dear friend from Scotland, Ngiik Yan offeredto help us to fetch Min Jie from coach station. We really feltsorry for her as she never met Min Jie before and it was onlyher first day of visit in Birmingham. We were so grateful!!!! Ngiik Yan, you are super!!!!!

Ok, back to the farewell dinner....... in the afternoon while wewere having lunch in Chung Ying Garden Chinese Restaurantwith Bobby, Bob, Esther & Yan, i met Dr.Yuan in her clinic whichis located beside the restaurant. I talked to her for a while, and before i left her clinic , she said," See you tonight!". I paused andshe suddenly realized something and said, " Oppsss! I should notsay like that!!!"....... it aroused my curiousity!!!! What happened?

Alex (Wendy's husband) came to pick us up from home. When we almost reached his house, we saw Xilin, Li Jun & Junyang walkedtowards his house with some food on hands. Ah!!!! now only we knowthat they had secretly arranged a farewell party for us........No wonderWendy did not allow us to leave earlier and Dr.Yuan said "see you tonight"!!!haha...... There were about 30 brothers & sisters in their house..... Wehad lovely time having delicious food prepared by every brothers & sisters, enjoying videos and slideshows prepared by EJ and of courseprayer blessings from brothers & sisters.

I have taken a lot of photos with brothers & sisters but i lost all of themwhile i was transferring the photos..... Silly me!!!! So, please visit Alex'sfacebook to view the photos and videos taken on that night

By the time we reached, it was almost 11pm and we were glad tosee Min Jie and Ngiik Yan safely reached home in one piece.We were quite amazed how efficient Ngiik Yan was. She couldfetch a stranger all the way from Digberth Coach Station and broughthim back safely with bus......what we could say is "pui fok"......Really thanks Yan for her help....... she is truly our "angel"......
