Steady...ada chemistry seduai tu,ko apai Melvyn,Bob.

Bob,in his short speech,welcomed everybody at the dinner, he wished his son & Angeline well & parted with some advice & words of wisdom. He could see the chemistry in their relationship.

Engagament prayers conducted by Fr. John Chia. Like what Fr. John Chia said,it was very rare for priests from the RC church to conduct engagement prayers & attend dinners as such but he could not refuse or turn down Melvyn's request when Melvyn personally requested his presence. Fr. Chia believes that Melyvn & Angeline really want God to be the centre of their love & hence he advises them to keep their engagement period pure until the wedding day. In layman's term,you know I know lah...

A happy newly engaged couple

Bob,Endu,Melvyn,Angeline,Rina & Alex.

To Endu,thank you for letting me know & inviting me to the engagement of your son.

Ha..ha..Endu informed me before hand,several weeks ago on the engagement & wedding dates of her two sons. "Aku madah ke nuan Ni, Melvyn ka betunang maia tu...bla..bla.. & Vernon ka kahwin maia tu...bla..bla. Madah ke nuan dulu..enggai ke nuan nulis ba blog nuan madah"Thank you Endu for not telling me that bala anak ka betunang & kahwin." Ha..ha.. Peace sister!!!

Melvyn & Angeline's engagement dinner

Mothers know BEST... Mommies' dearest..
I like this photo where one can see the importance of a mother's role in the upbringing of a child.
..Mothers standing by their children's side;making sure that they are doing the right thing.
Ya,a mother's love has no boundaries.



For Ta & Mang in KL who couldn't make it tonight.

Congratulations to Melvyn & Angeline on their engagement. Quite a number of friends & relatives were at Dynasty Ballroom for the engagement dinner. Alex sang 3 songs;Whispers in the wind/getaran jiwa,sweethearts & biar bekikis bulu betis. A group of us went to the stage to dance the poco-poco. Bob also sang for us...Only You. A few others sang. The dinner ended
about 10pm because everybody has to go to church tomorrow...& I have to do the intercessory prayer for the Iban service..so it's only a short posting for tonight. I'll write more tomorrow.
