The BCM 50th Anniversary Concert was on tonite at GT Jalan Gasing.

It was towards the end of the concert when Liang, Juwita & Patrick Leong came out to do one of Liang’s song “Hold On”

By the way Liang .. the tune is still stuck in my head now …. La La …. La …. La …… La ….. L- –  —– a!!

So when the music kicked in and the beats started pumping, Renee & Zoe Joy in the kids room started grooving to the music.

Check out the dance below :

Yeh Yeh celebrated his 69th Birthday recently and we had the pleasure with Kevin & Tawnya to bless dad with a very very practical birthday gift.

Knowing Yeh Yeh’s love for golf and his weekly green exercise, we decided to get him a motorized golf cart/trolley. Its a great golf equipment for Yeh Yeh so that it makes his golf game easier, and he does not need to lug the big golf bag with him, with a touch of a button, the golf cart jumps to life and starts moving.

We had a simple dinner with Yeh Yeh and celebrated his Birthday with the family.

Let’s shout His Fame!! Praise His name!!

Nate can swim on his own!! I mean he can move his legs & kick & kick. He can also manuever himself to go after balls & play with toys in the hydro pool at HUKM. We’re so happy & thankful simply because up and until a month back he still was afraid & pretty much hangs on to us for dear life. Whenever Daddie takes him swimming–his legs hardly move & he cries quite abit in protest.

We are really blessed to beable to get weekly slots for the pool & a great therapist like Yoke Fong. And u can tell that his muscle tones are getting better & better. I took a short video of it & hope to load it up soon to show u all.

God is awesome & we’re so in awe of HIM!! Thank U Jesus.

According his teacher Dolly
—Nate is Datuk Lee in the making.

Yeah he can really hit the balloon. His gross motor & fine motor skills are being refined. This excercise will encourage motor planning & also crossing the midline. Please continue to pray for him in this area as he works hard.

We had a fabulous time this year celebrating Chinese New Year with family and friends. Needless to say, we had heaps of food!

Food that we could not get enough of, and food that we just didn’t want to eat anymore later!

Time with family is always best, its the “yit-lau” feeling and atmosphere, when everyone makes time to come together and be together.

This year we took heaps of photos with our 50mm lens, u will see the results of those close up shots of Nathanael and Zoe Joy with those blurry background feel :)

To add value to the 90+ photos that we have uploaded, we will try and add caption for each one of them!

Enjoy the photos and we hope you had a fantastic Chinese New Year experience as well!!
