William was back from Perth for a visit. Happy to see him

Finally met up with Sek Lee after years of planning a meet.

Tries Lemon Curd muffins for the very first time. It wasn't a complicated bake.

Madagascar - A Saturday evening treat with Sugantha, Dal, Esther, Denise, Hou and Mum. The show wasn't great but the company was.

Cousin moments. Sanjeev was around and it's good to build family ties. We did had a lot to talk to each other although we hardly meet.

My partner in crime. I'm so glad she's no longer teach so we can hang out with each other more. Plus point of her working closeby too.

The weekend right after 12.12 and I must say it is a good time to shop with the additional 12% on top of the store discounts. Mum and I went for a morning walk at Tasik Permaisuri followed by shopping at MyTown to The Curve and finally to One Utama. She is my best shopping partner. O well, activity partner in general. Maybe, I should do another holiday trip with her!

OA Christmas celebration. We had kids from the village who weren't part of our Saturday group that turned up. Happy that there were more than 40 over children and youth that came. So glad that mum is also part of the OA work now.

The Children that won the sand art competition. Really nice!

Mum's Birthday cum retirement celebration cum thanksgiving went well. The aunties wanted Chinese cuisine so Chinese cuisine it was. I'm so happy that our relatives took the time to come. Love this photo with the cousins from the 6 aunt and 7 aunt family. The non Chinese speaking cousins.

Love this photo of our family. May the Lord continuously keep this family united and keep His promises that He has given to us.

Straight from mum's celebration to a short getaway to Frasers. The iconic photo which I take almost every time I'm in Frasers. Thankful for short breaks.

Saturday evening walk in the park. It has been a long long time but I'm glad we did! Not too bad a workout. Here's to many more!

The weekend before Christmas. Crazy funny faces. I'm sure we will have many more crazy, funny, days ahead.

We went looking for shoes and a visit around the mall. It doesn't take much to be happy!

Love this couple. Interesting how we've become such great friends. I really think the reason we're close is because we have God. Work friends are fun but until and unless we can share about what Christ is doing in our lives and appreciate that, it's quite hard to go any deeper. So thankful and blessed that they came down to KL and what a miracle to see Daniel all well. Praise God for His miraculous hand upon this family.

Christmas day in Church! It is a memorable Christmas day. Spending time with Michelle and Nicole at the mamak. And happy that Sue Ann came. Hope she will start coming to FGA too.

Christmas lunch at Strawberry fields. Meal times are a great time for fellowship

Someone came over to fetch me from work and accompany me back home on Thursday, 26th which turned out to be a night of toast nuggets and dinner together. He is my delight. May we grow to be more like Christ each day spurring each other on.

Last Friday of the year! Great to be able to catch up with this ah moi for lunch. Interesting how our lives cross path and we've been friends since. Again, because we have Christ as a common factor.

Esther's Birthday Celebration on the last Friday of the year. Had house Tosai with Dal just before dinner which made me too full for dinner.

Last Thursday of the year. It was funny that we thought it was going to rain only to find out it was the Solar Eclipse.

SPTC final class for 2019. What a joy to be able to dig deep with these peeps. Constantly challenge to know HIM more.

Joy's 100th Birthday Celebration. The Tiah sisters came!

There is nothing like family. I love the family unit. Wen May's birthday celebration! She's 30! Which makes me 31. haha

The Third Batch of SPTCians. We're Year 2 now and halfway there. 1.5 years more to go. God help me

Who am I, that the lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the bright and morning star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart?

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am yours

Celebrating a colleague's birthday. I'm thankful for the team which God has given. God never fails to bring great people to walk alongside my career journey.

They may all be older than me but definitely younger at heart.

With the former HSBC folks. Only one more left in HSBC. I'm thankful for my time in HSBC. Looking back, God has done the foundation work from Day 1.

Tried out a new place, Mollagaa and the food was good. It was quite a torture only being able to eat veg & eggs but the dishes were tasty which made it bearable

Former colleague knows my life for spicy chips and packed some for me....Yummy! I prefer the drier, non sticky ones but this is tasty too. Spice up the week!

Guess there will be more of such lunch prep. I get this every time mum is on break and now that she's officially off, guess more to come. Soon I can have my meat added on the meal preps. Wheee.......!!

One of the most expensive veg bowl I had. Surprisingly taste wise was not too bad. I wouldn't mind eating this again. Seniman Cocoa Buddha's Bowl. Buddha sure has an expensive taste buds. Haha....

At the rate mum is going, I think I'm doom! Tomato Egg Noodle in the morning, lunch prep and dinners all prepared... Feeling loved but not doing well to my already growing waist line and no time for hiking or exercise. ahhhhh!!!!

Can't wait to be done and over with the projects in office and to hand in my assignment on Monday. Final assignment for the year! May God help me finish 4000 words by tomorrow! Apart from finding the materials, I have not written a word. 🙈 I don't know if I'll be able to get through 2nd year much less 3rd year. O God help me get through these 3 years, plssss........ 

Lots of people trying out the new link bridge too. Mid Valley stationed 3 people to count the number of people using the new link bridge.

I went looking for apples but sadly they only have the small ones. Got myself nectarines + blueberries .... 😂 And even a reminder at the fruits section. I received two reminders of 2 weddings which I have already agreed to but somehow I didn't put them in my calendar and totally forgotten all about it. 🙈 So I was quite late for the wedding today as I had promised the children I'll be coming over to teach them the song for Christmas. And anyways... it always bring me such joy to spend time with them. The welcome they give me every time I come is such a delight.  While driving in, I saw two young boys walking out instead of walking to church. From afar they saw my car and started waving at me. I asked them why they were walking out and they said, 'saya ingat cikgu tak akan datang. Saya dah tunggu tapi tak ada orang' . I looked at him and said, 'Cikgu kan pesan pukul 10 pagi, skrang baru pukul 9.30 pagi' . He said o and smile started running with his friend back to church refusing my ride to church. And as I drove down to church there was a mini crowd. They were all waiting around the church area way before the agreed time. What a surprise! Well, we had a good time practicing for Christmas. They're fast learners. And I taught them another English song. One new English song for Christmas each year.  And rushed to the wedding. Bump into the groom as I arrived and first thing he said, You've just arrived? Haha... 😅 Apparently the wedding ceremony just ended and I've made it in time for lunch. Well guess I made it for the most important part of the occasion.. 😂

First time being served such a huge "slab" of wedding cake that we have to distribute on our own.

And the mother is finallyyyyy retired..... What a way to end her teaching career... With a bang! Her very last day at school was at the hospital receiving the reallyyyy good news that she's cancer freee. God has been so so good. Now on to a new chapter. 😉☺️

I have been challenged over and over again to catch the heart of God. What really is the heart of God for this nation & generation? In the midst of all the busyness it's quite easy to slip in to the motion of "doing" things / being busy and losing sight on what truly matters. What truly matters is what matters to God. It's such a challenge to avoid circumstances or emotions rule how we live but we have a higher calling and for this purpose "...we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ," 2 Corinthians 10:5b

A beautiful artwork at IJN. How imaginative and creative

8 years has passed since my very first conference in 2011.

10th International Financial Crime Conference. Bigger crowd every year.

Prime Minister was in the house.

And my very first time seeing a teleprompter up close. This is what makes the big shots look so professional in their delivery. Interestingly, only Tun alone uses the teleprompter.

Indian vs Chinese eyes. I blame it on my dark rings and eye bags..🤣

When colleagues are not just work mates but your friends.

So happy to be able to meet up with friends from yesteryears

The fruits are sweet but not as sweet as the sender. Thank you! I am truly blessed! God sent!😊 I was developing mouth ulcers probably from the lack of sleep but the apples kept the doctor away 🤣 And sender if you are reading this, I appreciate them. Note : For now, all sweetness to be channeled to the Most High as an offering of pleasing aroma to Him. 😉

At a very Intensive Week, the lunch at SPTC was scrumptious. Food overload 😋

Sunday morning brunch with the mother and sister while waiting for the father at Brickfields... Sri Pandi's!
