Life is .... 人生就是。。。

1991

2011

Just two weeks ago, I shared with my wife of my thoughts ... how is this guy doing .... how many kids and how old are they now ....

Not seeing him for more about 13 years ... and suddenly, a call came 3 days before Christmas:" I am coming over with my family for a holiday ..."

On 28-12-2011 (Wednesday), we finally met up... and he has not changed much except his children are bigger now. The last time we saw him in Sibu was during his wife's confinement after delivering their first child ... and she is 14 years old now.

Jackie Ting, his wife, 3 children and mother in law, were on holiday in Kuala Lumpur. His brothre in law John and wife Winnie, whom we have not met before, brought them to Genting and Malaka ... and to my house.

Another surprise! Winnie is the doctor my wife consulted two weeks ago in Serdang Hospital Orthopedic department ..!! My wife said: " I recognised you ..."

All praise and thanks to Allah Almighty!!


大约在两个星期前，我和太太分享了我的一些心思。。。这小傢伙不知现在怎样了？不知有多少个孩子，有多大了？

已经超过整13年没见面了。。。。忽然间，在圣诞节前的三天，接到了一个电话。。“哈哈，你还认得我都声音。。我和家人将过去度假呢。。”

在28-12-2011 星期三，我们终于再见面了，他没有多大的改变，只是孩子长大了。我们最后一次见面是在诗巫，当时她的太太刚产下了他们的第一个孩子，现在都已经十四岁了！

陈冉颖，太太及三个孩子，及岳母一起，到吉隆坡来度假。他住在这里的小舅John, 太太Winnie， 陪同他们到布城，云顶及马六甲游玩，然后一起来到了我的家。

另一个惊奇，从来没见过面的Winnie, 原来是在沙登医院服务，刚在两个星期前，太太在骨科部门还见过她，受她诊治呢! 所以太太说：“我认得你呢！”


一切赞美及荣耀都归于主！

Not safe 不安全

I went to Cahaya Puri Holidings Sdn Bhd this morning and parked my car at the car park of St. Ignatius Church.

I saw another car without four tyres at the entrance of the church....

And I was told that robbers has entered into church compound this morning at about 7:30 am, robbed 3 parishioners who were praying inside the adoration room next to the church ...

Is robbers' lair nearby?

Is our country safe? How do the police got their improved KPI ...???

I don't feel safe!

21-9-2011（已被拖走）

今早去了光仁服务中心一趟，把车停放在圣依纳爵堂的停车场。

我见到又一辆汽车的四个轮胎被拆掉了。。。

我也得悉今天早上七时半左右，强盗进入教堂隔邻的祈祷室，抢了正在朝拜圣体的数教友的财物。。。。

难道贼巢就在附近？

我们的国家安全吗？警察部队如何可以取得改善的效率指数。。？？

我没有安全感！

Diamond jubilee 钻婚之庆

1951 ^

2011 ^

圣诞节南下新山，除了与岳父母共度圣诞，也与他们共庆结婚六十周年钻禧志庆。

六十年前的那一天 （27-12-1951），岳父和岳母两人，携手步入无染原罪圣母教堂，在天主的面前，缔结连理，共度一生的婚姻生活。

二十五年后, 在 25-11-1976的那一天，我也进入同一间教堂，迎娶了他们的次女。假如岳父母的婚姻是模范，那我还得再走至少二十五年呢！我突然有了脚软的感觉！

六十年是段好长的日子，充满了风风雨雨，包含了好多的忧虑与纷争，泪水与汗滴，悲伤与喜乐 。。。他们都一一克服及度过。

他们现在是子孙满堂，得享清福。岳父虽已八十五岁了，但仍然身体健康，行动自如，血压及心脏都正常。岳母也近八十岁，仍然过着活跃的生活，最近还积极的参与圣母军各种拜访，讲座等活动。

岳父母决定以低调的家庭式来庆祝他们的六十钻禧。他们住在澳洲悉尼的孙子本雅明，邀请了悉尼的彼得神父主持了一台感恩弥撒。彼得神父在前往越南的途中，特地转道前来新山共庆。

感谢天主的一切恩赐及宠佑。(更多照片在Facebook)













We went down south to Johor Baru, not only to celebrate Christmas with my parents in law, but also their 60th diamond wedding anniversary.

60 years ago, on 27-12-1951, father and mother in law walked into the Church of the Immaculate Conception, in front of God, committed to their wedding vows, to a life of wedded union.

25 years later, on 25-11-1976, I entered into the same church to wed their 2nd daughter . Taking them as the model, I have to trod at least another 25 years to reach the diamond anniversary ... Suddenly, I have the knee-jerk sensations.

60 years is a long long time. It filled with many laughters and tears, worries and anxieties, sickness and health ... and they persevered and prevailed.

My father in law is already 85 years of age but still healthy and active, with no heart or blood pressure problems. My mother in law is almost 80 years old and living busily. She participated actively in legion visitation and other activities.

It was a low-key family celebration. A Thanksgiving Mass was celebrated at home by Rev. Fr. Peter from Sydney, Australia. He was en-route to Vietnam and made a special stopover for the occasion on the invitation by Ben, one of the many grandsons who is residing in Sydney.

Thanks and praise to God for his blessings and Graces. (more pics in Facebook)

Christmas Day 圣诞节

Celebrating Christmas Day.

Christmas is CHRIST MASS ....

We attended 9:30 am Christmas day Mass at the Sacred Heart Church....

Then at night, Christmas dinner at Tony & Susan's house, kind of re-union of family members, from Australia and New Zealand and .... Kajang la...de!!

Due to overcrowding, my wife and I decided to stay in a hotel. (more pics in Facebook）
























欢庆圣诞日。

圣诞节就是参加耶稣诞辰的弥撒。

我们参加了新山圣心主教座堂九点三十分的弥撒。

然后在晚上，到东尼及苏珊的家参加了圣诞聚餐，差不多就是家庭团圆，一些来自澳洲及纽西兰，当晚也有来自。。。加影啦！

这次因为人数众多，我和太太决定进住酒店。

Merry Chirstmas 圣诞快乐

The Jesus we worship was truly born in time-space history. And that babe in the manger was truly crucified--and just as surely rose from the dead.

He brings peace, joy and hope to mankind.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL !

我们钦崇朝拜的耶稣, 确实是历史时空中诞生的一位. 在马槽的那位婴儿, 确实为罪人被钉在十字架上, 也一定从死者中复活.

他带给人类平安, 喜悦及希望.

祝大家圣诞快乐.

Sweetness 甜甜汤圆

Winter Solstice is - Sweet smile and Tangyuan (gluttonous flour balls)
冬至是 - 甜美笑容和汤圆

(Picture of Mimi Ng, with/without her permission... :D )

Food 吃啊！

Winter Festival or Winter Solstice is - family and food!

In the evening, me and my wife joined our "extended family" (twining family) for winter festival dinner. Let pictures tell the story.

冬至是 - 家庭及佳肴。

今天傍晚，我和太太到我们的“孖家庭” （双联家庭）吃过节晚饭。就让照片述说这故事吧。

Winter festival 冬至

It is raining season in Malaysia (monsoon weather). It is cloudy, drizzling right now (10:30am), temperature 26 degree C (80 degree F).

Chinese throughout the world are celebrating Winter Festival (Winter Solstice) today.

It is one month before Lunar Chinese New Year. (First day of the New Year falls on 23/1/2012).

The festival is celebrated by eating Tangyuan and a family dinner.

Like many other families, our children are staying outside and overseas and not expected to be home, so me and my wife would be ... no celebration.

However, our friend Mrs Lee has invited us to join their family dinner tonight !

It is the spirit that matters.



马来西亚现在正处于东北季候风雨季时期。现在（早上10：30）正下着细雨，阴天。气温26度摄氏或80度华氏）

今天全球华人欢庆冬至节，吃汤圆，吃团圆饭。

如好多家庭版，我们的孩子都在外住（及国外），所以今天不回家，那就只剩下我俩老的。我们就。。。没庆祝。。

不过，我们的好朋友李太，邀请我们今晚到她家共度佳节

团圆精神才是最重要。

Fish bowl water 鱼缸水

Two court cases attracted national and international attention.

1. Former Mentri Besar (Chief Minister) of Selangor state Khir Toyo's corruption case will have a verdict on Dec 23.

2. After a lengthy 87 days hearing, High Court Justice will deliver its verdict on Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy case II on Jan 9, 2012.

Looking into my fish bowl water, I see Khir Toyo is being set free (2-1)and Anwar going to jail (3-0).

*** 23/12/2011 Verdict: Khir Toyo has been found guilty of corruption and sentenced to 12 months jail and the property in question has been ordered to be forfeited to the government. However, the court granted a stay of execution pending appeal. He is allowed a bail of RM 750,000.00


我国法庭两案件，受到国内及国外的关注。

1. 前任雪兰莪州州务大臣基尔的贪污案件，将在十二月二十三日下判。

2. 反对党领袖安华的肛交案，经过87天冗长的审讯之后，法官将在明年一月九日下判。

我观看了家里鱼缸是水，见到了基尔将会无罪释放 (2-1)，安华则被判监 (3-0)。

a day .... 一天.....

It is a sad day for me.

Visited two old folks this morning, both about 84 years old, at homes in KL and Petaling Jaya with my wife and friend Mrs Lee.

One is lively with plenty of care and love from children. She stays in a single room with air condition. Move about freely and actively.

The other one is sad, sunken and crying.....

After that, we went to Assunta Hospital to visit Fr. Henriot ... good news is ...he has been discharged and back to Little Sister of the Poor nursing home. Shall visit him in a later date.

Later in the afternoon, I received SMS from my nephew, his mother (my second sister) was admitted to Seremban General Hospital this morning for Gallbladder infection.

She was operated later and found to have a proliferated Gall Bladder with plenty of gallstones. Some complications ... half of the bladder has been removed, the other half was too dangerous to remove .... She is resting after operation.

According to my nephew, "...long road to recovery, but surely.... "

May our Lord bless them all.

今天是令我不快乐的一天。

今早，我和太太及朋友李太，一同到吉隆坡和八打灵的两家老人院，探望了两位老人，都是大约84岁。

第一位生活的相当快乐，因为有孩子的关心和爱心。她住的是高级老人院，单人房，24小时空调。行动自如，也很自由。

另一位则是很消瘦，忧伤及泪流。。。。

过后我们到亚松大医院探访夏理和神父，但他已经出院了，扑了个空。不过，这是个好消息。下次到安贫老人院去探望他。

下午，我收到外甥的一则短讯，告诉我他的妈妈（就是我的二姐）因胆发炎，今早紧急送进芙蓉中央医院。

过后，进行了手术，发现是胆发炎破裂。。。有点麻烦，医生只能够切除半个胆，另一半太靠近肝， 因风险高，而没有切除。手术过后，她在休息中。。。。

就如我的外甥告诉我：“。。。复原的路会很长，但一定能够。。”。

愿主耶稣保佑她们！

Christmas caroling 圣诞报佳音

Soon it will be Christmas day...

On 14/12/2011 Wednesday, my BEC 1 (neighborhood group) started our house to house Caroling.

A group of youngsters started learning guitar 2 years ago specially for caroling. My greatest appreciation to them for their hard work, their parents who gave them full support, and their teacher who volunteered to teach them free of charge.

圣诞即将来临了。。。

星期三，14/12/2011, 我的基基团（基督基层团体BEC）开始了家庭报佳音。

一群年轻人，在两年前就开始学习吉他，希望能够圣诞时去报佳音。我非常的感激他们的努力，也感激他们的父母给予的绝对支持，更要感谢免费教导他们的老师。
