Day Of Connecting

Yesterday was an interesting day. I had lunch with two good friends -- and I mean, two separate lunches back to back! And lest you were wondering, no, I did not eat two full lunches! Spaced 'em out, of course, so I could eat right and still meet both my pals :) The latter was planned, but the former was an "accidental" lunch, since I was early and he happened to be free. I thank God for unexpectedly blessings like this!

Later that evening, I attended the Haggai Institute Convocation Dinner, where I met some old friends from my previous church, Mount Carmel, whom I had not seen in ages. Interestingly, in the lift, I met someone who, when I introduced myself, exclaimed, "Oh, you're Annabel!"

My, that surprised me!! I was surprised that she knew about me -- even though I had absolutely no clue who she was! Of course, it was not too much later when I discovered she was actually the wife of a Very Important Person there (much to my embarrassment that I didn't know that!), and the reason why she recognised my name was because one of the pals who started COMPASS magazine with me actually works for her (she's a Big Gun!), and had mentioned me to her regarding my Christian publishing skill and experience.

Ain't life just full of surprises!

Turns out that later that evening, I ended up sitting next to the head of the Girls Brigade in Singapore. I think she was interested in exploring work possibilities with me! (She did take my card...)

So I had a pretty eventful day, to say the least.

And so is this weekend! Tomorrow, for the first time after a hiatus of almost five years, I am going to be singing on the worship team as one of three vocalists again. Woo hoo... (Wonder if my voice still exists)...
