For this child...

We were in Kota Kinabalu again.  Stephen and I feel like one of the locals already.  It's not surprising because this was our fourth visit this year alone.

This trip was especially meaningful because our grand-daughter Cayla was baptised last Sunday (20 October 2019).  From the time she was born, we have always called her a Jesus girl.  Now she is officially one!  Fr. Max said she is a  New Creation ~2 Corinthians 5:17 and this is a bible verse close to our hearts.  

Although the blessed sacrament was at 3 pm, it wasn't too hot.  And as soon as it was over, the rain fell and, as always, we consider it as showers of blessings.

Apart from a lovely reunion with the entire Yong family, we also had moments of quality time alone.  One thing that Stephen and I share is that we enjoy having company but we are also happy just being on our own.

Needless to say, it was also a gastronomic holiday.  Doesn't food always taste better when eaten together as a family?  When everyone was present, there were twelve adults, four children, and three babies!  It was fun and something so contrasting to our life here in Singapore.

I'm putting this here to remember the date and how wonderful it is to be able to witness all the "firsts" of our beautiful and beloved grandchild.

Already August 2019

January to July of 2019 has really been filled with loads of ups and downs.  And just like that, August is here!

Out of these 211 days, I spent 74 days away!
  • 19 days (13Jan-31Jan) in KL
  • 14 days (10Mar-24Mar) in KK
  • 3 days (9Apr-11Apr) in KL
  • 6 days (15Apr-20Apr) in KK 
  • 24 days (12Jun-5Jul) in KL
  • 8 days (6Jul-13Jul) in KK
Just about one-third of these seven months was spent moving around.  It was such an intense time of travelling and waiting at the airport.


Will I be going to KL again?  Yes. 

Will I be going to KK again?  Yes.

And so begins the next plan for my next visit.  Sometimes life can be so unpredictable.  If you had asked me this time, last year, if I had any travel plans, I'd have laughed.

Let's see what August brings.  I'm excited and looking forward to keeping the momentum but only after I've relaxed a bit with doing nothing.
