A 'Grace-filled' Year 2012

January

• Moving into our new 'home' in KL.  It took us awhile to get adjusted, nevertheless we liked it a lot.
• Elyse started her kindy.  Her first 2 days of kindy was excellent but this did not last for long.  She began to cry thereafter.  Nothing seemed to console her.
• Attended Farewell Dinner organised by WMC Teluk Intan.  We were so happy to meet up with TI folks.  Only a month away, yet we all missed them.
• Je Ee flew over from Perth.  We were so glad to have Je Ee around.  Her support and help to my mom in law was beyond words description. 
• Sis and her family visited us in KL.
• Daddy celebrated his birthday.  We kept it low profile though.

February

• The passing away of my mom in law.  The Wake and Funeral Services were well attended by many.  We were so touched by the support from relatives and friends.
• Bi Ee, Bi Ee Ean and Audrey flew over and stayed with us for a couple of weeks.  It was a big reunion to have Je Ee, Bi Ee, Bi Ee Ean and Audrey with us.  The help rendered to us was incredible.  We sure hope to have such reunion in the near future.
• Mommy injured her ankle.  Hmm... it was not very serious, but it took her almost a month to be healed completely.  Stubbornly, she refused to sit down and rest.  But how to do so when there are tones of household chores to do?

March

• The sick bug has invaded the Lim Family.  Elyse was ill after almost a year of good health, followed by Shally, Ah Gong, Audrey and the little one - Erwyn.  Poor Erwyn, this was his first time falling sick.  He was ok when we fed him the medicine the first few rounds, but soon fighting his way back when he realised what was happening.
• Mommy drove to Malacca all by herself for the very first time.  It was a time-out for her to be alone without the kids.  She certainly enjoyed the fellowship with her old-time friends, nevertheless her mind was constantly on her children.
• Let's go to the Zoo!  Elyse loves the fun but it was very tiring for all of us.
• Mommy brought the children back to JB.  Driving long journey with kids was very challenging but she made it!  Mom was with her though.  We stayed in Resort World Sentosa for a couple of days.

April

• Elyse's Kindergarten Sport's Day.  Elyse totally enjoyed all the fun!  She was also the captain of her class.

May

• Erwyn is finally one-year-old!  We celebrated Erwyn's birthday together with Ah Gong and Poh Poh.
• We went to Port Dickson for a short family-get-together.  Enjoyed the sun, beach, sand and the swimming pool.

June

• Mommy was invited to conduct the VCS for TMC PJ. 
• Joined Sis in Genting for 3 days 2 nights.  Never ending fun as we played in the theme park for hours!

July

• Watched the musical 'High School Musical' at Sunway Lagoon.  Loving it!
• Moving again - 2nd time in a year!  But this time, to a BIGGER apartment! 

August

• Daddy was invited to be the Spiritual Adviser for a Turkey trip.  What a wonderful experience!

September

• Audrey was here to celebrate Elyse's birthday.  Little princess is now four-year-old.
• After months of practising, finally it was Elyse's Kindergarten Concert.  Elyse received a 3rd prize in the colouring contest.
• Junior Sunday School organised a Family Outing in Lake Gardens.  Elyse and Mommy had fun in the sun!

October

• A peaceful and quiet month.   

November

• JB here we come!  Together with Sis and her family, we visited Legoland and Hello Kitty Town in JB.  We also joined Er Yi in visiting the historical city of Malacca. 
• Celebrating Mommy's birthday.  But since this year it falls on a Sunday, which is the bussiest day for Daddy.  Ah Gong, instead of Daddy, bought a cake for Mommy.  We had a mini celebration at home.

December

• We visited JB again!  Paid another visit to Legoland.  Elyse even tried the children roller coaster.  Bravo!  We also went to Universal Studio, Garden by the Bay and Underwater World in Sentosa. 
• Oh no, we lost our hamster 'Buddy'!!!
• Erwyn is finally walking!  Way to go, boy...
• Yeah, Daddy bought two more hamsters for Elyse as her Christmas gift!
• Watched 'The Beauty and the Beast' musical.  Awesome!
• Visited 'Farm in the City' - a small petting zoo.  Both Elyse and Erwyn had a unforgettable experience as they fed the birds, tortuise, rabbits and fish.
• Farewell Dinner for Daddy.  Farewell Petaling Street; Hello Jonker Street!
• Packing, packing, packing... we are all ready to move to Malacca and begin a new chapter of our lives there!

Thank you, God, for bringing us through yet another year.  We experience your grace and your love once more.  Without failed, You enveloped us with your loving kindness as we went through a period of mourning in the beginning of the year.  We are also marveled at the favor of God upon our lives.  It has only been a year in KL Wesley, but the blessings showered toward us from the body of Christ is unbelieveable.  We entered KL Wesley in fullness, we left with abundance.  We also thank you God for our beautiful children.  Their very presence make our lives fulfilled.  We are honored to serve them.  'Thank you' in itself, doesn't seem to be able to express how grateful we are to you.  Lord, we love you!
