Farewell Home

Monday, 28 March 2005

After dinner with friends at a nearby open air restaurant, Lian and me decided to visit the new owner of our apartment, Hannah. This has been my home from December 1999 to January 2005.



This is the first apartment I ever stayed in, so different from a house with compound. Felt like I was in a prison initally but I slowly learnt to love it because I have less cleaning to do!! And don't have to worry about cutting the grass. The colour of the sofa in the sitting room is fading.



The dinning room is just nice for a small family.



Outside the apartment



My neighbours for the last 5 years!

A Farewell Dinner

Monday, 28 March 2005

Let us have dinner together before you leave, okay?
Sister Maylin, Angelie, Dorkas, Ebony, Rusiah, myself and Annie

Sure! We (Lian, Yean and myself) love dinners, if it is with friends, especially friends whom we have grown to love during our time in Kota Kinabalu.

Thanks to Sister Dorkas, we had dinner at a nice restaurant, close to my KK home. No need air-conditioning. We sat outside the restaurant, in the open air.

Ladies like to sit together! Why? So that we could talk what we want!! There are certain topics that men don't understand. Sorry guys, you all one table okay?

Francis, Patrick, Edre, Yean, Edny, Chua and Eddy

Kota Kinabalu Church

Tuesday, 29 March 2005

Last day in Kota Kinabalu before we move permanently to Miri and we have no photographs of any of the church meeting houses!

First stop - Likas. It is located near Yean's school. It was the 1st meeting house in Kota Kinabalu and I am happy to be a part of it.

Second stop - Luyang. So happy because it is nearer to home, only a few minutes drive. I think we moved there in year 2002?

As of today (1 December 2005) it is still being rented for the church meetings.

Last stop - Kota Kinabalu first chapel building under construction. I am looking forward to visiting it when it is ready. I am looking forward to be in it.
