Good shot

My church friend Bro. James took this pix of Min Jed when she was performing during our BB & GB Camp recently.

Happy Birthday Min Waye

Min Waye celebrates her 7th birthday on 7th Feb. She was just a tiny tot when we came to Miri more than 5 years ago. She is now in Standard 1 at Chung Hua Krokop. She is also the class monitor! From the pix you can see how fast she has grown. Happy Birthday to you, Min Waye.

Chinese New Year in Miri

Siew Yew's family members arrived safely in Miri on the 2nd day of CNY. This has been a long anticipated visit ... in fact we have waited for 5 years for this!! Finally, capitalising on the zero fare promotion from MAS, 20 of them came to Miri to celebrate CNY.

We were worried of the weather because it had been raining for weeks. Most of our program were outdoor, including visiting the famed Niah Cave and Lambir Hills National Park. Going to these places during monsoon season was not really a good idea. We took a wait-and-see attitude .... if the weather was not good then we would scrap the plan. Amazingly we were blessed with fine weather and were able to cover all the planned activities! Praise the Lord for answered prayer!

The gathering was such a blessing. Imagine 25 persons, young and old, squeezing under one roof! There were so much of catching up to do. Some of the children (well .... teenagers to be exact) managed to learn how to cycle during the short stay at our place. Cycling is not something one would pick up in KL, given the safety and security consideration.

After 3 days of fellowship and fun, they left for KL on Friday, leaving behind fond memories.

Group photo at Lambir Hills National Park. Some family members were not in the picture because they decided to trek further to another waterfall. Look how happy Siew Yew was.

Splashing time at the waterfall.
Taman Awam. Notice the sunshine in the picture? It was still raining when we arrived. The sky cleared up and the kids (including some over-aged ones) managed to play at the pool.

Meal time. Praise the Lord for our maid who did most of the cooking.

We were pleasantly surprised that the Petroleum Museum was open.

Busy Weeks in July

It has been a rather busy month so far. We started the month of July with our 15th Anniversary on the 4th. This was the 5th time we celebrated our anniversary since we came to Miri in June 2003 (and yes, we are into our 6th year in Miri).

Siew Yew was all smile when the flowers arrived.

The small group for 40DOP campaign was also underway. By the grace of God we are hosting 3 meetings at our home, (i) Tuesday morning, with Sister Julia as the Leader, (ii) Friday night, with Sister Sally as the Leader, and (iii) Saturday, with Siew Yew as the Leader.

Then we had the recital for the kids at Chicago School of Music.

Earlier on the same day there was also a Fun Day at School for Min Waye. She had a great time.
