I’ve been thinking of what is boiling over with these recent slanders and scandals about the Family. When the admin of LTC asked me if I wanted to blog for this site, there was of course a slight hesitancy. My life has been an open book, but outlining the details of almost every day…would it [...]
Arrived in India (Chennai). My dad is taking off again though, flying to Sri Lanka for Tsunami relief work*. The rest of us are going home to Bangalore. Dad dropped us off at the train station and went to the airport. I read, prayed, and pulled my hair out on the train (it was the [...]
Before leaving Kuala Lumpor some of us went out to do some last minute shopping for gifts for everyone back at home. Said our goodbyes to our family and relatives from KL, and by eight o’clock my uncle came to pick us up and take us to dinner and then the airport. Our flight was [...]
Had High Tea with the whole family (my Dad has two brothers and seven sisters), which was more like a huge lunch. Ate a large bowl of Ice Kachung, a Malaysian specialty (beans, jelly, syrup and lotsa crushed ice, tastes good without the beans).
We drove a long distance to have breakfast with some more of our relatives, but found when we arrived that their daughter had had an appendicitis attack the night before so they were all at the hospital. They were too polite to cancel the breakfast so they had some other relatives come to their house [...]
Took the Ferry back to Kuala Lumpor, we all got out of the car and went to the deck. My dad asked me if I remembered the ferry ride (my parents were in Malaysia when I was 5 years old, they were traveling with a total of 7 kids, from 9 months to 12 years [...]
I arrived at the Light House Club (see previous posts for more on our youth club) and I was dutifully informed that after setting up our instruments and equipment and playing the songs for the young people with the band, I was also supposed to be a part of the skit team for the evening! [...]
That “special day†came along again…oh dear! This year my birthday fell nicely on a Thursday, which unsurprisingly, is my regularly scheduled Ceasa day. (The central market where we pick up donated fruits and veggies for all the area homes). I was fine with going though because I knew there wasn’t really any way around [...]
We left for Penang at 5:00 in the morning. All this traveling has been tiring but I wanted to stay awake and see everything. I only closed my eyes for a minute, but woke a few hours later in front of our hotel feeling quite rested but like I’d missed something. Still, our room was [...]
We rose early so we wouldn’t miss the breakfast buffet. There was a long line of food, mainly various kinds of curry, rice, or noodles—not my usual breakfast! They did have my favorite choc flakes though so I won’t complain. We had to check out of our hotel by midday so we spent the better [...]
