Rare Christmas Card


When sending Christmas greetings via SMS' and emails is the norm these days, receiving a Christmas greeting card in the old fashioned way was truly precious indeed!

Think of the effort the sender went through in going to the shopping outlet, choosing the specific card, writing the message, getting the stamp and mailing it.....

Well, for this Christmas, beside cards received from business associates, we only received one card from family members- a special card from my niece and her family.

Thank again. Your effort is truly appreciated!

For our clients and business associates,we still faithfully send out the cards the old way- That's personal touch.

Another Battle Scar, RIP Eunice!

When it was announced in church this morning that Eunice Chung (Mrs. George Lo) had gone home to be with the Lord on Saturday morning, a deep heaviness filled our hearts. There was a choking in the throat, that painful awareness of helplessness when faced with the finality of death. Only the night before, on Friday, we had prayed earnestly for a miraculous intervention - that God might yet turn the tide and grant her more time with us. But His answer was different from what we hoped for.

It is often said that when one first receives salvation, the heart overflows with faith, zeal, and joy in sharing the Good News. Yet, along the journey, scars from unanswered prayers and painful losses sometimes dull that first vigour. Could this be another such scar, tempting us to grow hesitant, fearful, or weary in proclaiming the hope of salvation?

Many will find reasons to explain or justify why things had to end this way. But for those left behind, the grief is real, the silence heavy, and words often feel inadequate to comfort the pain of loss.

Yet even so, life moves forward. The world does not stop. And so must we - but not with resignation. Rather, let us treasure each day we are given, every moment with those we love, and live fully in the time God still grants us.

World's Best Pizza

We were also introduced to a little shop at Mundaring in our recent trip to Perth which serves the world's best pizza.
As to whether the claim put up by this little shop is justified or otherwise, the faces of these diners do give a bit of the clue of the verdict. Any less favourable verdict probably will come when I find another better one somewhere else latter on.
A bit of contemplation at the encounter with the so called "world's class pizza"

Fish Head Mee Soup

Fish head mee soup in Perth introduced by Meng How and serene was really good and we had to go for a second round before making back home to Sabah.

Not to be outdone by the Perthians, we also had a go of it back home (credit goes to my wife of course !) with Paul as our guest.

Welcome Home, Paul!
