| 19 August 2007 School holidays started 19-8-2007 till
26-8-2007. I told my son that during this week he could forget his books
and biology and enjoy his video which restricted him from watching during
schooldays. He instead told me he has 2 school project to do
during this week long holiday. One is a geography project and the other a
history project. For the history project is non other then prepare the
FAMILY TREE......... and that he needed my help in providing him with
photographs. The eldest living member in the Wong family is Wong Nyuk Lan whom he met in November 2005 when she return from Perth to Kuching for a few weeks visit. This was her first time to see Mei Yin. She stared at Mei Yin then to Chun Xing to have a closer look and comparison this brother and sister. Then she turn to me and said with smile "..........You must thank God the Father ........for blessing you with 2 good children.......................Children are gift from God...................." That remarks brought my memory back to 1960/1961 when I stayed in her house for one year. In around 1960/1961 my father Wong Syak Kee transferred to work in Treasure Department of Simanggang. He was a clerk then I was already admitted in Primary 1 in Saint Paul Chinese Primary School. So as not to interrupt my study, the family decided to leave me behind with Aunty Nyuk Lan and pick me up later when they found a school for me in Simanggang. This 1 year of staying with the family of Uncle Wan Tau Kon and Aunty Wong Nyuk Lan has a very important to my life. Aunty Nyuk Lan took care of me like a mother. Uncle Wan Tau Kon family is a devoted Christian family with 5 Children ( 3 boys and 2 girls) all elder then me. Wan Teck Fong, the youngest son was few years older then me. Although Uncle Wan had to dedicate time and energy to his family, his profession as a Government servant and participation in social life, he never failed to cultivate his spiritual God through the daily bible study and prayers. Each morning I work up to see him sit at the corner of the wide veranda reading a few chapters of Bible and in deep prayer with God. Such is the husband of Aunty Wong Nyuk Lan. Aunty Nuyk Lan is a devoted Christian who’s godly left a lastly impression on me. < deleted...............................unnecessary .........> <continue here .......> |
