Visit and feast 探访及吃喝



Today the Catholic Church celebrated All Saints' Day, honouring all saints, known and unknown.

My wife and I attended 7:00 am Mass, feeling proud of our Catholic roots and tradition.

At about 11:00 am, we left for Port Dickson with Agnes our housemaid for a "Lawat & Makan" trip. (Visiting & Feasting trip)

This is Agnes first trip to Port Dickson, a seaside resort town about 75 kms from Kajang.

Our first destination was my nephew Andrew's office.

Andrew set up his business at Port Dickson about 2 years ago and I had promised to pay him a visit then.

He was happy to see us and brought us for lunch at a nearby coffee shop.

The food was excellent.

Expressing our thanks and appreciation to Andrew, we left after lunch for a drive along the coastal road.

We stopped at Thistle Hotel, formerly Guaman Resort Hotel, in which we stayed before. Apparently, it has changed ownership.

We also stopped by the Champagnat Youth Center which was owned by the Marist Brother. I found a new block has been built and old block has been renovated. I attended a few formation programmes here before.

Leaving Port Dickson, we arrived at Lukut to visit old friend Ah Hui and wife Ah Lian.

Again, we were greeted warmly ...

We had dinner together before leaving for home at about 8:00 pm.

It was a great day!

今天,十一月一日,天主教会庆祝『诸圣节』,纪念忠贞的圣人及殉道者,包括那些知名的或不知名的。

我和太太参加了早上七点正的弥撒,对教会的根及传统,引以为荣。

十一点,我和太太及家佣人Agnes, 到波德申做一天的『探访及吃喝』之旅。

这是Agnes 第一次来到波德申,一个海边旅游胜地,离开加影大约75公里。

我们的的第一站,是我的外甥Andrew的公司。

Andrew (安德鲁)在两年前,在波德申创立了生意,那时我就许诺会去探访他。

当然他很高兴的见到我们,还请我们到附近的咖啡店吃午餐。

这里的食物正合我们的口味,美味极了。

午餐后,我们沿着海边道路,驱车观赏海景。

我们来到了Thistle 酒店,以前名为Guoman Resort Hotel, 我们曾在此住宿过。看来这里的主人已经更换了。

我们也来到了圣母昆仲会所拥有的培训中心,见到这里已经建立了一座崭新的活动大楼,而旧的活动中心,也翻新了。我曾在此参加过数次的活动节目,也蛮期待有机会到新的活动中心来参加活动。

离开了波德申,我们来到卢骨,拜访老朋友阿辉及太太阿莲。

他们热情的欢迎我们的到来,还坚持我们留下了共进晚餐。

我们在晚上大约8时左右,启程回家。

这是非常难忘的一天。
