25 October 2015 ~ Bryan Matthew's Confirmation

My boy! All scrubbed up and looking dapper! Bryan received the Sacrament of Confirmation today at St. Emilie Catholic Church. I'm one proud mama!

Nothing like ending the morning with a scrumptious dimsum brunch with family and friends.

24 October 2015 ~ Happy 15th Birthday, Caitlyn!

A truly memorable day for all of us. Firstly, Caitlyn turned 15 today. It has been a roller-coaster year for my first-born.

Caitlyn, for this birthday, I wish you strength, love, kindness and inner peace. You're such a sweet and caring child and I pray that God continues to bless you with happiness and guide you through the good times as well as the stormy times. 

"I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength."

Phillippians 4:13

The day started with a lovely picnic at East Perth, at the swan-Avon River with Mom's childhood friends whom they've not seen for many years.

After the picnic, we all went back to chill at Aunty Yoke Leng's. The atmosphere can be pretty much summed up in this equation:

(Childhood friends+apart for more than 50years)xLife = Lots of laughter and hours of chinwagging.

Time really flew and before we knew it, it was time to go home... to celebrate Caitlyn's birthday with her favourite.... Sushi, KFC and BaskinRobbin's ice cream cake with Lai Yee and Trooper (Wish you were here, Uncle Sam! Get well soon! There's container loads of ice cream waiting for you!)

Choc chip and vanilla

A truly exhausting day. Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode of "Bryan's Confirmation".

3 October 2015 ~ Catching Up at Tony and Po's

Thanks Tony for taking the group photo! 

A big, heartfelt "Thank you" to Tony and Po for opening up their home & hosting a catch-up for the ward staff. Just like our typical do, there's food, drinks and MORE food. Photos don't do justice to the scrumptious food we were served. A huge thank you to those who spent time cooking and contributed to dinner as well. The food was awesome. Here's looking forward to our next one, at Christmas time.
Po, we still miss you very much at work. Both you and Tony look so relaxed and I'm sure you're both enjoying retirement..... Wanna think about coming back to work casually? 


Enjoy the photos!

 

And that's just part of the Smörgåsbord!

Guess who photobombed the girls?

Ah, my meek and demure sista in crime
