Journey with my Creator: Summary of year 2017

Another year has passed. Now follow me to walk down the memory lane...

January 2017

Bidding farewell to Elyse's and Erwyn's favourite Jie Jie and Gor Gor in church

as both of them furthered their studies overseas.

In recent years, both children have acquainted themselves with these two youth in church.

It's difficult to stay 'goodbye' but children need to learn that it is part and parcel of the journey of life.

After all, we still see them once or twice a year.

Celebrated Andrew's birthday with church office staff.

It was indeed so kind and thoughtful for the office staff to make this day a special time

where delicious food and happy moments were shared together.

Elyse participated in a calligraphy competition at Tmn Merlimau

and won the consolation prize.

February 2017

First time visited the A Famosa Freeport after its grand opening in January 2016.

It was just hubby and me. Part of our 'pak tuo' time together.

After all, it's difficult to shop with kids.

But later in the year we did bring the kids to this place.

March 2017

After the snake intrusion incident, the leadership of the church decided to secure the parsonage with the construction of a wall around the house.

Ps Danny brought us to the famous cendol stall - Aunty Koh cendol.

The cendol is yummy, but Andrew and I still prefer the SS15 cendol.

First kayaking experience for all 3 except yours sincerely at Redtma Adventure Park Tasik Ayer Keroh.

We also tried the electric boat, wall climbing and flying fox subsequently.

Fun place, but extremely hot. Consolation: No mosquitoes bite. Affordable pricing.

Joyous occasion for Nicholas and Karen's wedding.
They are the first couple to get married in the Young Adults' DG led by hubby.

Erwyn received another love letter from a kindy friend. LOL

Little did we know, this was only the beginning of many many more to come.

Then, he began to exchange presents with his classmates.

I'm so glad that he enjoyed his kindergarten time.

Treasure the moment for this would be his last year.

Family getaway at Bukit Gambang Resort, Kuantan.

April 2017

Another 'pat tuo' time for hubby and I. Since hubby traveled to Segamat weekly and passed by this place, he decided to bring me for a short hiking trip to Gunung Ledang Waterfall on his off day.

After staying in Melaka for 5 years, this is the first time we visited St. Paul's Hill as a family.
Erwyn came here with his kindy before; Elyse explored here as a SS small group outing;
and parents dropped by "pat tuo".
A short hike became an excursion when we found out there are 5 museums here.

Car accident - I was sandwiched between a Toyota Hilux and Myvi.
