an early Birthday

I can't believe is a week now since our last gathering in Telok Intan and Cameron Highlands. Aunt Irene entertained us in her comfort cottage home. Organic steamboat were served for dinner. We went home after dinner.

Susanne bought a cheese birthday cake from Telok Intan, so we kinda had this early birthday celeberation for Aunt Irene two weeks earlier. I am sure everyone enjoyed the night with precious memories of one so dear.

On 2011 November 26th-28th we had another great time getting together. Our most caring and loving sister Alice from Telok Intan finally decided to meet up in Kuala Lumpur for 3 days 2 nights. She had choosen The Gardens Hotel to be our meeting place. This Hotel is linked to a shopping "Heaven" with so much to do. It is a very convenient place to stay with everything you need in one spot. We throughly enjoyed ourselves, and I am so proud of the many random acts of kindness being express among each other. Now I am looking forward to M O R E Fun & Joy. Big THANK to Alice, Suzanne, Bryan and Jamie for all the good job. Thank You!
