you are much appreciated

After we had our dinner on "chor sei" of Chinese New Year, we went over to the Lim's family for visiting. Who Are they? They are our neighbours since 19 years ago when we first moved in here. Among all the neighbours around they are one of the best and when we needed any help they are always there for us. We had a real good time chatting, eating CNY cookies, candies, mandarin oranges, etc as we shared the good times we had years back and not forgetting about our bondage of friendship from the time we first moved in till now. These good neighbours are one of the greatest gift given to us from God.
