Happy birthday Wei Quan!

Last Saturday we went for our church's leaders' retreat at Sofitel JB. We were supposed to reach the airport at 9 plus to welcome quan back from Vietnam as part of his birthday celebration. We took Wendy and Mel's car, who were also trying to get home fast I guess but we ended up being later than late.

On the way out to the main expressway from the Kelong where we had our dinner, we lost our way and drove in circles for a while. When we finally got out and arrived in Singapore, it was already about close to 10pm. A few minutes after we said, "Yeahh we're finally out", we heard a loud pik piak! and the car kind of went lopsided for a while.

We had run over a big plank with nails and Mel's ture had puntured. Arghhh so we became later than late. It was pretty scary cos the cars were zooming so fast past us and the triangle sign we had placed a few metres away looked so small. While replacing the car tyre, another car ran into the same plank and yes, got a punctured tyre as well. It was a Muslim family and there was 4 ladies and only 1 guy so after changing our tyre, the guys on our side went over the help them. My bladder was then tighter than tight already.

So it was a very eventful journey out of Sofitel but thank God we didn't meet any robbers or something worse than a puntured tyre. Because we were late, we missed the best part - the welcoming for him at the arrival gates.

We're waiting for our Star!

See how happy they all looked. We're the Wei Quan fan club for the day so we were all dressed in pink. Except my hubby who didn't have time to change.

The celebrity

We had the complete fan club set- balloons with customised name, 'banners', garland, and even party string, which was quickly stowed away upon a stern glance from the police. Audrey and Heli made all the banners while Miin prepared the other 'props'.

See how happy the couple looks

Happy birthday Quan! It has been a great joy and blessing for us to know you and share God's word together during cell group. You have been an inspiration with your passion for God. Keep the fire burning in you and may God bless you, Miin and your families abundantly!
