We love them.

We are truly so thankful, that even though we're in the midst of the exams, we were given the oppotunity to meet up with Uncle Chung Chi & Auntie Pooh Lii, Auntie May & Uncle Frips. Auntie May & Uncle Frips have just touched down in Singapore several days back. So, we just had to arrange a dinner to meet up with these 2 wonderful God-sent couples. Truly, meeting them is no coincidence. First, we got to know Uncle Chung Chi and Auntie Pooh Lii through matt's family doctor, and Auntie Grace gave us Uncle Frips & Auntie May's contact before we went over to Zurich for our exchange. And to our great surprise, these 2 couples long knew each other and were from the same church. That's how we joined IPC in Zurich. God was truly gracious; they treated us so well, inviting us and our friends to their homes for lovely meals, bringing us out for meals and showing us around Zurich.

As time builds, friendship gets forged too. We had dinner @ Waraku, Cuppage Road with them today. And it was just sooo wonderful to see them once again; although we met Uncle Chung Chi & Auntie Pooh Lii way before that in Singapore. We ate, laughed, chatted for a good 4 hours at least. There was so much to talk about, covering many topics and social, christian issues. We had fun, and we're going to meet again after our exams, before Auntie May & Uncle Frips return to Switzerland. Talking to adults is truly very different, and their company is forever so warm. Here's them!

And it's really exciting to hear from Auntie May that Auntie Lee Hiang is coming over to Singapore during Christmas! :D We got to know Auntie Lee Hiang through Auntie May in IPC too :) so wonderful right. I can't forget Uncle Clarence too, whom we met through them as well, and it's really amazing that i happen to know his son, who's from BMC. Hopefully, we get a chance to catch Auntie Lee Hiang. Even though we're away from Switzerland, having get to see them, just feels as though i'm in Switzerland. A big part of the reason why our exchange was so beautiful was really because of them :)

and here's a picture of Auntie Lee Hiang & her daughter, Marie ;) and this was taken when she invited us to her place for a home-cooked dinner.

we're truly blessed to be able to meet and bond with these wonderful people and have the oppotunity to visit 3 swiss homes, don't you think so?! :)
