Tennis is in the Gene

After going through some of the old photos, I now realise that tennis in fact is in the gene....

Ex-5th Collegians Reunion -We Were Given Time to Meet Again....

The reunion of the Ex-fifians Christian Fellowship at the NECF Office premise was punctuated throughout with laughter. We had good food and talked about the long gone years of group funs, outings, celebrations, day-dreaming of our future then .... Of course, there were also moments of sadness and tears especially during the closing prayer when some knew deep down in our hearts that by the next time we meet, some may not be around. In fact, a few in the group had already left to be with the Lord.

As we browsed through old photos, we couldn't hold our laughter and sighing at the same time.

In 1973, we had an overnight outing to Fraser's Hill. In this group photo taken behind the place of accommodation, I was third from left. My future wife was at my left. Believe me, there was no spark between  them then. They eventually got married in 1978 and raise a new family.

In 2009, by coincidence, the 4 ladies captured in the earlier photo at the middle portion of the group in 1973 were captured together again. I am not in the photo as he was the cameraman then!

At the waterfall in Fraser's Hill in 1973, I am not sure whether the 2 ladies were "shocked" by the chilled water or by the sight of the couldn't-care-less half naked man happily taking a bath in front!

Happy Birthday to My Wife

I finally managed to take the birthday girl out for her belated treat at Wagamama, the Japanese restaurant at Lintas Square, this evening. The place was packed, so no photos were taken - otherwise, we might have looked a little too san-ba snapping away at every dish!

The meal itself was delicious, and after dinner we strolled over to Lintas Plaza for dessert. As always, I ended up helping her finish the tau fu fah she ordered - some traditions never change.

What mattered most was seeing how genuinely happy she looked throughout the evening. That smile alone made it all worthwhile.
