THE SILENT YEARS PART 4 - THE OTHER SIDE

It has been 5 long years since I last wrote. In the next 5 blogs, I will attempt to abridge the essence of those silent years - part 4


7 to 9 Aug 2016
Most of us love the king of fruits which was a perfect lure to sign up for a trip across the straits.

On arrival, we were like kids overwhelmed with excitement, like some bunch of country bumpkins awed by its metropolitan sights and sounds.

Some lazed around window shopping. Some spaed and massaged and blissfully forgotten about dinner time. Others including the shepherd waited patiently for all the sheep to gather to bring them to new pastures…..



Tour guided by Pastor Frederick, Choon Bee and Sean, 15 of us had a great time of feasting on a wide variety of delicious local hawker fare, snacks and durians of course. 



In a spacious 2 storey house tucked away at a remote corner of a large condo compound, Choon Bee hosted us to warm fellowship and a buffet of home made dishes 






31 Dec 2016 to 2 Jan 2017
5 of us retreated 2016 with thanksgiving and stood at the threshold of the new year with prayers, praise and worship thanks again to the hospitality and generosity of Choon Bee and Sean.

The celebration was punctuated with fireworks which we watched through the windows in the comfort of the home.

Empty plates and bowls say it all.......
