The Aussies are always a friendly lot of people. We have many Aussie friends, those who served with us in Singapore, Malaysia and elsewhere.Many have regularly kept contact with us. Some of our closest friends are Aussies.
On Thursday it was our pleasure to welcome two Aussies, Lieut.Colonel Olive Lucas and her daughter Helen into our home. They were on their way home to Australia. Olive served in International Headquarters with us for about a year and lived in our neighbourhood in Beckenham, England.
They came by bus from the city to visit us and we had a great time together in our home and later at the eatery at Rail Mall. And I was able to have my special chapati and Indian curry like the two ladies, while my wife kept to Hainanese chicken rice. She is not keen on hot spicy Indian food. The time passed very quickly and the couple of hours spent together bought much blessing.
We thank God for friends, local and overseas who have enriched our lives. It has been said, "When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy."
