- School holidays were from 22nd - 31st Aug 2009. I flew to KL on 22nd night.
- Dad was admitted to UMMC on 23rd night and I met him on 24th morning.
- After a 6-month struggle with advanced gastric cancer, my dad finally returned Home to the Lord on Wednesday, 26th Aug 2009, 7.38am (as per medical doctor). It was a peaceful death.
- Funeral mass was held in St. Louis Parish, Kluang, Johor at 10 am on 28th Aug 2009. It was also the feast day of St. Augustine of Hippo, my dad's patron saint (Dad's baptism name was Augustine).
- The English prayer group from my church came to say prayers at home on 7th day of my dad's passing.
- The Chinese prayer group came on Wednesday, 2nd Sept 2009, to pray for my dad. They will go to my house for prayers for seven consecutive Wednesdays. Good for my mom!
- Stayed back until 3rd September to help with preparation of documents. Flew back early in the morning. Friend fetched me from airport and decided to check out the kidz at school.
- Managed to take pics with my 5 Compassion. Timing was just right. Yay! At least Form 5C was not "orphaned" when taking class photos.
- Started the endeavor of correcting heaps of exam papers. Got angels and demons in them for sure. Need lots of grace from God... Wish I wasn't that disappointed at the outcome! Oh well, sometimes I just can't force them anymore to do better. They are almost adults... Have sensible minds to think I'm sure!
- Had Yoyo in Lintas on Saturday with friend and met with long-time-no-see neighbour, Clement. Time to catch up!
- Went to MV Doulos with Irene on Sunday. Olga Wiebe, a crew of MV Doulos gave us a personal tour beyond the unrestricted area of the ship. Visited the engine room, the dining hall, and the laundry room... And walked along the deck (a long corridor at the side of MV Doulos). Lovely!! Bought two CDs while I was there - Brian Doerksen's You Shine and Stephen Curtis Chapman's All Things New. I was so excited about the Brian Doerksen's CD because I had been looking for it for the past two years. Finally, I owned it! Yay!
- Watched CSI: Miami and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective while marking the last of the papers after my visit to Stella Maris Blessed Sacrament. Ace Ventura is indeed a good movie! Jim Carrey does have a rubber face! He's pure funny as Ace Ventura. Had good laugh before sleep.
- Woke up just on time in the morning after a tough time to doze off last night. It was good day, but rather stressful at school. Hopefully everything will be alright.
- Attended Alpha follow-up at night and headed to Stella Maris Blessed Sacrament. Got a sms from my Leo president demanding my passport size photo when I was praying and decided to cut short my quiet time because it is important... On my way back, near KWSP's traffic light, a Mercedez decided to bang on my bumper, causing my reverse sensor to be out of place. Thank God there were only few scratches on my bumper... So far it is still intact. Tomorrow would have to make a trip to meet the driver who banged my car to get the car fixed. He promised to pay the full cost. I estimate it won't cost him a lot, unless my whole wiring system gone haywired tomorrow morning... I'm trusting God fully in this matter.
- Had a chat with Derek Chong and decided it is time to enrol myself for some coaching sessions by Derek.
- Reflecting on the past few weeks and now penning down what I think is appropriate on this blog.
God bless.
