EUnited in Tanarimba - 24 December 2016

It's a beautiful wedding for a very lovely couple. It's outside of the norm, in the mountains that served as the scenic backdrop, on a perfect cool morning (after a whole day rainfall the day before which caused many to reconsider the outdoor setting!), and the party that lasted from morning till past midnight, with friends and companies that we had enjoyed, surrounded by nature and with so much planning and thoughts put in every detail to make it a dream wedding and with the festive year end mood, on a Christmas eve! Picture perfect classic car that's more than 5-decade old driven by my husband. Cheers to the bride and groom from the Purestream Fellowship! Beyond all the party and dance, we celebrated the union of a couple that put God first in their lives and their love for one another and for Christ has been a great testimony that blessed many hearts. It's indeed a beautiful story, and we wish them a Christ-centered lifetime tog...

Holiday DIY Nature Activities

Unschooling Get-together @ CLiC We managed to meet up with Wai Leng and some other unschooling families during the holidays. Tree-climbing was a favourite past time in CLiC. We've a glimpse of a typical day of these unschoolers, also their hangout place at the Community Learning Initiative Centre (CLiC). Unschooling with a community is a unique experience.

Jumping ...

A stream of cool, clear water strewn with boulders above the hidden Tanglir waterfall at Bukit Tinggi. No wonder there's a saying that the best things in life are free.  Simple pleasures..... Drawing on the sand Weight-lifting for a cause. Building a toilet! The hilly location that was covered with trees, now dotted with cultivated vegetable farms drawing fresh water supply from the stream. Few swiftlets were seen in the nests on the walls of the apartment buildings. The find - a millipede, curled up Amazing shades of colours. This is the fruit of the Luffa before processing that we use as scrubbing sponge in the kitchen. All-time favourite - the Kow Po Homemade Ice-cream, a well-known joint in Bentong town. Must try their coconut ice-cream (though I'm not a fan of coconut). There're also other flavours like pandan, peanut, corn, banana and the seasonal "durian". The boys preferred th...
