A Recent Trip to Papar - Far and In Between

These days, visits to Papar are far and in between. Our last two visits to Papar were all meant to attend wedding lunches.

Five years ago on 15 December 2018, we drove to Papar to attend the wedding lunch of one of my staff. Recently on 2 December 2023, I accompanied my wife to attend another lunch for the occasion of the wedding of the son of one of my wife's ex-staff of SM St. Mary, Limbahau.

After both wedding lunches, we made detours to Kampong Limbahau to see the school premise of SM St. Mary, Limbahau before heading home. 

My wife was the School Principal of SM St. Mary, Limbahau for eleven years in mid-1980's to mid-1990's. In the recent visit, we were pleased to see the two major building extension projects are still intact after a lapse of almost thirty years. The first major building constructed is the Multi-Purpose Building comprising of the school hall at ground floor and the staff room at the first floor. A year or two later, she built the Domestic Science Block. It was a privilege to be asked to offer my service as the consultant in the planning, design and supervision of these buildings - all on pro-bono basis.
