东家有喜 Host not in

『东家有喜，休息两天』。

我忘了放出这张布告。21及22 日，我不在家，因为有喜庆的活动。
喜庆 1 ---主徒会欢庆。在21日星期六，三位会士假马六甲会院，矢发永愿，在主徒会内过终身修道生活，这也是朝向司铎生涯的必经之门。

薛文喜，黄鏓颖及林瑞添修生，在甲柔教区陈主教，多位来自本地及其他教区的神父，众多主徒会会士及数百名来自国外及全马的教友见证下，在主徒会马来西亚省会长陈聪敏神父，修院正副院长的面前，宣读终身誓词。

天主赐给我们一个好天气，虽然有点炎热，但好过下雨（前两天都在下雨）。

这是主徒会的花园约会。发愿礼简单隆重。在永愿礼及弥撒过后，三位修生分享了他们的感言。文喜及瑞添修生都感谢父母及家人的支持及鼓励，也感谢他们的莅临参与典礼。鏓颖修士的母亲，在六年前逝世，父亲则在约两年前也蒙主恩召。人生的大典，忆起父母，该是百感交集。他还是感谢了他的妹妹，在离家修道时，照顾父母，使他能够安心的完成培养陶成。

喜庆 2 -- 我岳父的83 岁生日。

马六甲发永愿的庆典及午餐结束后，我们续程南下到新山，庆祝岳父的83 岁生日。

我们在一间餐馆公用晚餐来庆祝他的生日。这是一个简单但非常温馨的庆生会。岳父大人非常高兴我们的到来和他共庆生日，他也很高兴的享用当晚的美味食物。 (面子书更多照片）


『Owner out for celebration，closed for 2 days 』

This is the sign usually put up by the shop owner whenever the shop is closed because of some family celebrations or functions.

I have forgotten to put up this sign. I was away from 21 to 22 August, out for celebration.

Celebration 1 - 3 CDD seminarians took their perpetual Vows at the Pulau Gadung Seminary on 21 Aug witnessed by Bishop Paul Tan of Melaka-Johor Diocese, Diocesan priests, fellow CDD brethens and hundreds of well wishers from overseas and throughout Peninsular Malaysia.

They professed their perpetual vows in front of CDD Malaysia Provincial, Rev. Fr. Philip Tan, Seminary Rector Fr. Thomas Koo and Deputy Rector Rev. Fr. Francis Ng.

God blessed us with a good weather for this garden party.


Celebration 2 - My father-in-law's 83th birthday in Johor Baru.

After the ceremony and lunch at Melaka, we went down to Johor Baru for my father-in-law's birthday dinner.

A dinner was held at a Johor Baru restaurant. It was a simple but warm birthday celebration.

My father-in-law enjoyed our company and the food very much. （more pics in Facebook)
