Cheah’s & Chee’s

"Thanks again for all your prayers and support. God is really blessings us with Joshua, as the kid went thru lots of complications.

But at the end, he is as healthy as he can be. Praise God for that. That's why we named him Joshua, a warrior for God."

- Geng Yi & Grace

Also, for those of you who’re not in the know, a severe earthquake struck Christchurch, NZ on 4 September 2010, Saturday (NZ time). Auntie Jennifer stood up during the open worship on Sunday and shared that the Chee’s were safe, remember? =)

 

Uncle Ivan, Auntie Kim, Marcus, Jerm, Livia – we didn’t forget you, we just didn’t update the blog as soon as we should have. =(

 

Livia wrote a bit about it on her blog, and here’s a concise account of what happened.

Thank God for His grace on the Cheah’s and the Chee’s!

The Dudes in New Zealand

Hi! Selaku wakil MGC-ians (albeit self-appointed) di luar Melaka dan luar negara , I bring news of Uncle Ivan, Marc and Jerm from New Zealand.

As posted on the cbox on 9 September, Marc started his mid-sem exam on 10 September, and Jerm started his on 9 September itself. And since NZ doesn't recognize Malaysia's driving license, Marc has to take a driving test all over again. We all hate driving tests, don't we? (me, at least) So pray for him!

Also, it is now spring in NZ! Woohoo! Flowers everywhere! (macamlah i kat sana) Winter's over, and that means the rugby season's over as well. I didn't know rugby is a winter sport. You guys didn't either, eh? Uncle Ivan says watching Jerm play was like waiting for a bone to be broken at any second. It's 6 more months before the next season, so Jerm's resting till then. Pray for his healthy and whole bones that they may stay healthy and whole.

Due to the lateness of the STPM results, Marc has to start with Term 2, and is currently doing terms 1 and 2 in one term. Kinda heavy, and bone-breaking as well.

Dr Sean, Dr Sherry and Michael went to visit last week, and they had a great time catching up. Uncle Ivan says it feels different yakking in a cafe instead of a mamak stall though (Uncle Ivan: I miss Melaka!). I can relate. I miss mamak stalling as well here in UM. All I have is this thing called KFC (Kafeteria First College), which is kinda slow in delivery. I.e. 45 minutes. *pengsan*

The MGC-ians in NZ are hoping to come back for the holidays next year! The boys have to work to save up for the airfare. *terharu* Pray for them as they work ya.

We'll be waiting in anticipation! Non-stop mamak-stalling throughout the holidays!



p/s: marc and jerm got to experience the high-class version of Genting Snow World. Ish! Unc Ivan said winter was terrible tho.
