DAY 2 – ROYAL BELUM-TEMENGGOR …..Kg.Chuweh OA Village & Sg.Enam Waterfall – Part 1

Our "A" Hut room

Today, I woke up very early as I wanted to catch some fresh air and enjoy some lovely view today. Somehow, I wasn’t able to sleep well last night probably due to the new surroundings and the constant drop of tree branches and small buah terap fruit on the roof. Most importantly of all, it soon dawned on me that this morning would be packed filled with activities and it would be a strenuous day today especially with young children and not-so-young bodies like mine! Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa………… 

My room....

The outer deck view...

The morning mist....

The morning view through my camera eyes....

On the way to Kg. Chuweh

I could have sworn that during the climbing up of the flight of stairs from the pontoon to the cafe and from the café to the room, my stomach, heart and spleen exchanged places that they are all cried out,man! What more is going happen today? I wonder……

Then as I stretched myself at the patio of my hut, I really enjoyed the morning breeze and the thin wisps rise of the small clouds from the lake surface. 

Arriving at Kg. Chuweh

The calm waters and the thin rise of water vapor makes the scenery from where I was standing such a captivating scene and I was calm. I was in my element when I heard an audible voice, “ Woi, for goodness heaven sake, you are half naked on the patio! Go and get yourself cleaned up and get ready! “ Yup! Back to reality, I guess! 

At the banks....

Today, we were all pumped up as we have three activities lined up that day. It was a trip to Orang Asli village in Kg Chuweh, waterfall hiking at Sg.Enam and Rafflesia sighting at Royal Belum. On the way to the café , I met up with the resort workers comprising of one Jahai tribe worker and two Temiar tribe workers. I greeted them and they returned that pleasantries with me. After a good breakfast, we were down the flight of stairs from the café to the pontoon where we met our boatmen for the day, Awang and Alif in two separate boats. Robin and I checked and set our lines for the day. Disappointingly, there was nothing on the lines.   

The scenery....

Capt Edwin, Robin, Jaclyn, SLing and myself were in one boat skippered by Awang while Fook Meng, Lorna, SYuen, Joo Li, Ethan and Sophia Joy were in another boat skippered by Alif. Awang is a local boatmen who knows the places well especially the waterfall area as he brought many people to these places. Pleasant young man , informative and very skillful in what he was doing. Our first destination was Kg Chuweh , the Orang Asli settlement. We were told by Awang that the villagers have moved from their traditional huts and moved into PPRT type of long house beside their old settlement. 

At the centre of the village..

SLing with the big fallen Merbau tree...

This village comprises the mixture of Jahai and Temiar tribe. Long known as hunter gatherers ,many of the young people had left their village to seek a living elsewhere while the older folks are left behind at their settlement. This was typical of most OA village actually. We were also told by Awang that most adult had left for their fishing grounds in the early mornings and probably on their way to Gerik Market to sell their catch of the day.

At Sg. Enam....heading towards the waterfall....

Upon arrival at Kg Chuweh, we managed to climb the slope steps and got on to the home. We stopped by at the so-called makeshift “dewan” cum hall and met up with the Batin of Kg Chuweh. He was reserve a little bit by our presence but nevertheless lightened up as Capt Edwin and Lorna spoke to him.  There were souvenir blown pipes and tree roots such as Tongkat Ali for sale by donation at the hall. The rest of us distributed food stuff to the children around the village. Simple yet robustic lifestyle was noted on the village front. Houses made from bamboo and flooring of bamboo were noted. The children seemed happy enough while the older folks including the women were seen resting in the house or tending to the children. After some photographs, we headed out to our hiking trail onwards to Sg.Enam Waterfall.

Apa tengok tu?

As we moved along the lake heading towards Sg.Enam, we were informed that we would have to trek to our waterfall destination. It is about 1 hours in and 1 hour out kinda thing. With children around, I was a little apprehensive a bit at first  but we prayed that we would be safe and blessed along our journey. Throughout our morning boat ride to our destination, the view was beautiful and calming. The submerged trees and shallow pockets were a real challenge to the boatman, Awang but he maneuvered around them expertly though. Moving along a small river, we reached the thick bush landing strip as Awang tried to move the boat as far in as possible so that we do not have to hike too long and too far. That was very considerate of him but alas, the river bank was shallow and was in the low tide mode. So, we have to trek through the bushes amidst elephant trails of punched out holes on the ground.

Moving on to the waterfall

There was a lot of excitement and adrenaline pumping enthusiasm that morning and rightly so. To me, it is always a rich experience wadding trough the bushes and river side terrain as you will never know what you will get and what you will encounter. I was only afraid for my heart to stop beating as I enjoy the trail, honestly but I am still alive! Thank God for that!  Awang led us through the trail followed by Robin and the rest. As usual, I was at the back of the pack as I guess, I am accustomed to it and trying my best to help Sophia Joy to get used to the adventure. Both Fook Meng and Joo Li are sporting enough to allow me that opportunity to lead Sophia Joy through the trail which was good, actually. 

Made it to the waterfall

Giving encouragement and helping Sophia Joy gives me a lot of joy and happiness as memories of helping the young people in the Royal Rangers ministry comes flooding in easily. Now, these boys and girls of the Royal Rangers ministry are themselves young fathers and mothers to their children. Oh! How I have grown so old nowadays! Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa…….. 

My moment at the waterfall

Spidey moment at the waterfall.....

Capt Edwin & Ethan...

As I walked through the grassland along the river banks, I kept my eyes on SYuen and SLing too. SYuen is a product of the Royal Rangers Ministry success. She was able to take care of herself, waded through the grassland and helped SLing along the way. I am so proud of her and so proud of how the commanders of the Royal Rangers ministry had poured their experiences and expertise to make her what she is today facing the hike and the journey in life too. Along the way, we noted that there were a lot of punched hole in the soft grounds signaling elephants walk ways and there were also fresh elephant dung along the river bank. It also signaled that elephants were nearby too. We managed to get a glimpse of fresh tiger tracks. 

Our walk back....

Awang told us that it was probably a few days old but upon looking at the tracks, I knew it was fresh and probably early morning of the day. I believed Awang did not want to alarm nor raised a panic mode to us and thereby, giving us an answer that the tracks were a few days old. By experience, this was fresh and I was immediately very alert all the time for the group. From then on, it was alert mode and so did the rest. There was one time when we heard some loud falling of trees sound but Alif, our another youngish boatman, immediately told us that it was just a tree falling down. Again, probably not to alarm us but to Robin and myself, it was definitely some wild elephants around who did not wish us to disturb their grounds. By this time, Alif was quick to usher us away from the area and moved on to another path quickly. I thank God that we managed to wade through the river bank and then onto the ascend to our waterfall.   

This is the part where my limbs, stomach, heart, kidneys and spleen would exchange places but thankfully, it wasn’t that bad of a climb, actually. I’ve had worst, to be honest. Sure, it was still a challenge for me and so it was for others too but I was glad for SYuen and SLing as all the walking and climbing up Bukit Beruang Hill and Hutan Rekreasi Ayer Keroh somehow worked in their favour. We soon reached a small waterfall area that had pushed the limits of the womenfolk and the children. From here on, the men, Robin, Edwin. Fook Meng and myself walked on further to Sg.Enam Waterfall.  After another 30 minutes of hike, huffing and puffing our way to the top, we reached the waterfall. This was only the first rung of the 6 rung waterfall. We decided that this was as far as we wanted to go as the waterfall was superb. With rushing waters cascading down the years of channeled & crafted out rock groove, the water was fast, invigorating and a welcome “massage” to our weakened bodies but not our spirit. Very proud of my friends, Robin, Edwin and Fook Meng for pushing, encouraging and helping each other to get to this place. We had a lot of fun here and the place was just so beautiful. 

Amidst the lovely setting jungle, steep terrain and big boulders, clean, fresh and cold water flowed through.  That’s the beauty of nature, I guess. What an honour and blessing to have enjoyed such magnificent view and experience nature’s goodness to us. All your troubles seemed to take a back seat when you are here amidst the waterfall and it’s rushing waters. This is life, man. Enriched by the insects sounds, chirping birds and the rustling flow of water, I could have sworn that life worries stopped for awhile as you experienced paradise for that one moment in your life. Blissfully happy is how I would describe my feelings at that moment. Nature is very close to my heart and I would be happy to die here for all I care! We then decided to walk back to our families and joined them at the small waterfall area/pond. After spending some time at that place, we decided to head back as lunch was awaiting us in the resort. 

We started trekking back to the place where we had parked the boats. Somehow, the journey back to our boats was much faster. However, this time around, Awang took us through the river walk instead of the river bank grassland. We never knew that the walk along the river would be drama filled and eventful time for all the men. It was hilarious as we got ourselves stuck in the soft ground and gripping mud of the river. It was as though the river wanted our legs, limbs and shoes! Yeah, I must say that the river walk back sucked all my energy to zero, man. It was hard to climb out of the stuck mud hole but luckily with great help from friends around, I was able to get out of it. For me, it wasn’t that bad though I was up to my thigh stuck in the mud at one time. It was only when I took my foot off the shoes that I was able to pull myself out of the hole and then pull out my shoes! It was hilarious through and through but very energy sapping indeed.   

My whole body and legs felt like jelly after struggling at the mud bank in the river. It was tiring and I could feel cramps starting to ravage my thighs and legs but I kept a brave front indeed. Guess, that’s the idiotic way of mine – keeping a brave front. Hahahahhaahaaaaaa……….I guess, others would have felt it too but they too could have kept a brave front too. Kudos to them for roughing it out and staying sane despite the epic battle against …….the mud! 

Really, I could have sworn that I would have let fly some 4 letter flowery adjective words, some flowery Hainanese, Cantonese or Hokkien words & phrases  and probably more had it not been these nice, sane and gentle people around me. Hey, hey, there are children amongst us and so I had to be civil, right?

After a good wash-up as advised by our boatman, Awang, to wash away the unwanted dirt and to clean ourselves, we boarded our boats and headed towards our resort as lunch awaits us. 

Our adventure continues………………..

DAY 1 - Royal Belum -Temenggor Forest Reserve

Breakfast of dim sum....

The prospect of getting the chance to get back to nature for my break or holidays always appeal to me greatly. So, this time when my family travel group suggested Royal Belum National Park, I had no hesitation of agreeing to this trip. To me, though the cost was a little high but it is really unavoidable as the rising cost is one factor that plays the index of tourism industry in Malaysia these days. Sure, we could have easily gone overseas for such a cost but the thought of being back to nature and spending time with great families swayed the decision easily. First and foremost, I must thanked Robin & Jaclyn having the ultimate patience and heart when it comes to planning the outing for this trip. It all started innocently enough during our casual meet after church service and then, Robin & Jaclyn mooted the idea of going to Royal Belum National Park. 

The information board.....

As usual, everyone was excited and pumped up but there weren’t any concrete plans and so on. This dragged on but soon, the burning desire to travel ignited and after much effort and much nudging on each other, the trip finally materialized and the costing were revealed. Sadly, two large families had to decline as it would have been quite a burn in the wallet though and other commitments. I must admit it wasn’t an easy decision and we would have been very happy together as a group, actually. Anyway, finally 4 families including mine decided that we will go to Royal Belum – Temenggor National Park or sometimes known as Royal Belum –Temenggor Forest Reserve.

Yeah. do not assume..our ride is the one on the right

For the benefit of those who do not know about Royal Belum-Temenggor National Park or sometimes known as Royal Belum-Temenggor Forest Reserve, it is located in Gerik and it encompasses an area of 117,500 hectares complimented by its diversity of flora and fauna. It is approximately 130million years old and it is the oldest rainforest in the world and according to the fact sheet, it is four times bigger than Singapore! ( Jeng! Jeng! Jeng! ). Anyway, Royal Belum-Temenggor Forest Reserve is nature’s best kept secret and among the very last remaining virgin forest in Malaysia. Royal Belum–Temenggor Forest Reserve has the largest concentration of large mammals ( dwindling though over the years ), ten species of the hornbill bird and fascinating rich variety of freshwater fish from the Giant Snakehead ( Toman ), Sebarau, Tenggalan, Kalui, Baung and Kelah. It is also a treasure throve for over 3,000 species of flowering plants including the three species of Rafflesia, the world largest flower ( Rafflesia Kerrii, Rafflesia Cantlyii and Rafflesia Azlanii ). This is the place for nature enthusiasts and nature lovers paradise. 

Our boathouse ride to Belum Eco Resort....

Back to my travels, as I had plans to travel to Penang for my short break, plans were hatched for Robin, Jaclyn, Fook Meng, Joo Li and Sophia Joy to meet us in Penang while Capt Edwin, Lorna and Ethan would travel from Kampar and meet us at Royal Belum Jetty on Sunday, 11 August, 2019. I was really excited about the trip and I know deep in my heart that this is one good trip indeed. I did not get much sleep on Saturday night as there was a lot to do and preparation prior to the trip. Sunday morning came and the excitement ensued incredulously. We ( Robin, Jaclyn, Fook Meng, Joo Li and Sophia Joy ) met up at Chaw Choon Restaurant in Raja Uda for our dim sum fare before we headed towards Kulim and then to Grik. The dim sum tasted good indeed! Our damage bill for stuffing our stomach that morning was RM 63.00 for 8 of us! I have to thank my sister, Lee Lee for bringing us there for breakfast as we say our goodbye to her as she departed for some early morning marketing that morning.

Chill out in the boat....FookMeng, Joo Li, SYuen, Edwin & Lorna

Stomachs filled and spirits up high, we headed towards Kulim, Grik and Royal Belum Jetty. Along the way, my trusted companions, SLing and SYuen were rocked by comforting sleep and waking up only for toilet break and unscheduled stops. At about 11.30am on Sunday, 11 August, 2019, we arrived at Royal Belum Jetty and there to warmly greet us was Capt Edwin. Lorna and Ethan! They had arrived earlier after starting their journey early from Kampar. The view of Banding Lake from the jetty was lovely indeed. 

Chill out in the boathouse....SLing, myself, Jaclyn & Robin...

My heart leapt with joy knowing that we will be spending some lovely days in this beautiful park/forest reserve. The jetty building was impressive with the required information of the forest reserve fashionably portrayed via the pillar art decor. The information pillars and board were impressive and tastefully done but the jetty is an engineering nightmare especially the very slopey ascend/descend of the jetty steps and the foundation. 

Joo Li, SYuen & Jaclyn....

Within 30 minutes of our arrival at the jetty, we finally got to meet Mr. Steve Khong, the proprietor and owner of Belum Eco Resort. My first impression of him was that this was a seasoned adventurer, naturalist, idealist and very committed nature lover. A bespectacled, dark skinned (tan), slim, elderly but one fit fella spoke with much authority and humour as he briefed us on the position of his pontoon catamaran boathouse. What? Wait! Did he mentioned boathouse? Cool, right? So, we trudged along the steps and with bags over our shoulders and lugging along our luggages, we looked like out of place urban bumpkins! But yunno what? Who cares! We are alright. If we can get through motherhood, fatherhood, nagging and over-protective parents, we definitely can survive this! 

The gang on the boathouse....

Steve laughed aloud when there were “oooohhhs” and “aaaahs “ when we saw the bigger houseboat at the lake. Everyone was in awe and amazement when we saw the bigger boathouse. Steve then broke our dream bubble when he said, “ No guys, not that one,la. It is the one beside the big one!” as he pointed to the smaller white boathouse. That got us all laughing our heads off for our own assumptions! Like they used to say in CSI Investigation TV show , “ Never assume anything. Just the facts!“ There was a lot of laughing that day and what a start indeed!  Steve’s boathouse is really really nice, cosy and comfortable indeed. That day, we met with Steve’s wife and resort worker, Borhan who took care of our bags and made sure that everything was in order. 

Chillin'......

During the 45 minutes ride on two 15HP Yamaha boat engine, we moved slowly but surely along Temenggor Lake and the view was breathtaking indeed. We chatted with Steve and his wife along the way and it was a real good time of fellowship and information gathering. There was so much laughter and fun along the way which was good, I must admit. It was also good to get some history lesson and some passionate concern about nature conservation from Steve. Listening to him, you know that this is a nature enthusiast, adventurer at heart and one true blue passionate nature buff. This is hard core and you hardly could find people like that anymore. The other thing is that he is very good at PR and I can understand how his resort does well among the tourist.

Belum Eco Resort...our home for 3 days

The resort pontoon.....

Lunch is served.....

Upon arrival at Belum Eco Resort, we were really glad and happy seeing the resort. Looking at the architecture and the landscape around the resort, it is no mistake that this 8 acre resort was born out of passion and respect for nature. Perched high on the top was the resort café overlooking the beautiful Temenggor Lake. 

Checking out the view of the deck and kalui.....

The view was simply marvelous and relaxing. The cobble stone flooring and the double lookout terrace makes this café building truly towering and magnificent. You get a good panoramic view of the lake and the landscape around you. That was truly captivating indeed. However, the flight of steps up the café from the boathouse pontoon can be challenging for the physically challenged people. The steps are quite strenuous as we found out in the later days after our waterfall hiking adventure! 

Lunch consisting of fried bee hoon, curry chicken and fruits awaited our arrival at the resort. Rumblings and hunger pangs in our stomach were truly filled and satisfied by the really good tasting fried bee hoon and curry chicken. 

At the cafe....

Bak chiu stamp liao!

A good short rest after that was all we needed after a long journey that morning. Robin and I then went down to the pontoon area and started taking out our fishing gear for some fishing action. I must say that the live frogs had been a real nuisance throughout the night at my sister’s place and in the car as they can really croak, man! So, it was time to put their croaking to test by tempting the big & fierce Giant Snakehead ( Toman). It was like telling the frogs, “ Yeah, froggie, it was now time for you to sing and get those fishes around you, you hear? “  After setting up and putting frog bait in the water, we waited for some time but no action came by. As always, prior to putting the live frog in the water, I prayed to God that He would bless our stay and bless our fishing that we ( Robin & I ) would get some fish. That’s my usual practice before fishing. Yeah, sorta putting out my bait of live frog with expectations and hope for the best!

Evening cruise round the lake...

Soon, it was time to do our first activity which is bird watching and lake hopping activity. All 11 of us boarded the boat and with the steady hands of Borhan, we moved steadily across the lake and engulfed the beauty of nature around us. We did not manage to see much animals nor birds but we get to engulf the beauty of nature around us. We get to speak and get to know Borhan, a Bangladeshi who had worked about 5 years at the resort. It was a good relaxing evening as we cruised along the lake.

Evening cruise round the lake...

As the sun begun to mellow down for the day, the view was breathtaking especially the setting glow of the sun that day. We had met another group of people – mixture of Mat Sallehs, locals and Chinese family who were talking enthusiastically, loud and muddied as they ended their day from an outing at Royal Belum waterfall and so on. I wondered if we would be like that tomorrow….hhmmmmmmnnnnnnnn.  What a day! Moving back to the room (A10 ) which was a good 150m away from the café was kinda “long walk” but satisfying as the simple lodging was nice and the view was fantastic, really. What could one have asked for more ; with a hut by the lake with a superb lake view in the evening and morning. What a life! What a view! 

With our boatman & resort worker, Borhan.

Welcome to Belum Eco Resort, Royal Belum-Temenggor Forest Reserve, Gerik, Perak, DR! 

Day 1 , DONE ! 

Daniel & Loreen ~ Accomplished!

The Lim family and the Teo family

It all started way back in 2017 on a nice warm pleasant evening on some plastic chairs in the comfort of Dinesh’s house, our cell group leader house when a group of “michievious” mature men cornered our singleton bachelor a.k.a church worker, Daniel, seated him down and spoke to him at great humorous length on why he should be hitched up with one of the nicest, loveliest, strong character but humorous eligible young woman in our cell group, Loreen. That poor guy blushed, laughed, tried all he could get away from the “mischievous” clutches of the mature men and ladies but somehow, he had to endure all the lengthy and profound input from the older group of people ( men & women ) who bombarded him with their “sales pitch” for the very lovely and very single, Loreen then. 

The mischievous uncles & aunties

Looking at his wonderful parents, Bro.Teo & Evelyn, they seemed hopeful and awaited their son’s reaction. They seemed equally perplexed and marveled at how these uncles & aunties weaved, weaned and encouraged their beloved son to brave the courage to ask for a date with Loreen. Before that, it was the “mischievous” ladies who weaved with soothing words, cajoled and persuaded Loreen to give our bachelor fella a chance of his lifetime!  Fast forward a few weeks later, Viola! Mamma mia!  These two lovely singles hearts finally got together and officially became a couple and they did it very nicely and respectfully while announcing that they are together with all of us. To me, that was truly lovely and I really respected them for the way they handled their relationship. Well, at least, the broken sofa legs in Dinesh‘s house was worth it as something good happened!  

No running away this time!

Morphing forward, last Saturday sealed their commitment and their love for one another with the walk down the aisle of Holy matrimony. I couldn’t be happier for the couple, Daniel & Loreen. I guess, for me and SLing who have been their pre-marriage counselors, this was truly a lovely couple to work with. It was a real delight working with them and their level of maturity was marvelous. It was such an enlightening time having a conversation or even resolving issues that may arise and yet there was this clarity in sincerity, love and honesty. That was very important for me.

I am also very respectful towards Daniel’s parents, Teo & Evelyn who had been absolutely the loveliest people and I truly am glad that Daniel is the reflection of their deep love, care and good upbringing and now, Loreen is part of that family hospitality and great love. Last Saturday, The Teo family gained another daughter in Loreen while the Lim family gained a son in Daniel. 

Communion together....

What can I say about Daniel & Loreen? I guess, I can only say that they complimented one another in many many ways. Daniel is the introvert when it comes to his feelings and outer expressions while he is calm, helpful, honest and unconventional when it comes to expressions. He is caring, compassionate and a very loving person. Loreen is robust, outspoken, strong & steady and direct but a mushy at heart and truly a very caring person. She has a beautiful heart and yet sustained a distinct authority of respect and a no-nonsense person. The best part about the both of them is that they are very grounded on the ground and genuinely loving people. 

Solomon, Daniel, Grace, Teo & Evelyn...

Coming back to the wedding, that morning, when SLing and I arrived at the hall as I was going to be the MC for their wedding ceremony, I could not help but feel bursting joy and pride to see Daniel in his wedding suit. He looked absolutely smashing and he finally got his hair done for his BIG day!!!!! Yipppeeeeeeeeee! I tell you, this fella is so simple in his ways that he would have just be as he usually is on his wedding day! Thank God someone finally got him to do the hair part! He looked absolutely smashing in his dark blue suit and red/maroon bow tie. Shook his hands, hugged him and told him to be calm and steady. He gave me the thumbs up and he’s ready. Then I saw the lovely parents, Teo & Evelyn – they look smashing together with Loreen’s parent, Richard & Janet Lim. Yup, it was their big day too, right? Both parents looked very good and it was such a lovely sight.

So proud of them......

Then I had the opportunity to take a peek at the bride before starting the wedding ceremony. Loreen looked absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, radiant and vibrant in her lacey white outfit beside her father, Mr.Richard Lim. Could not help but felt very proud to see her and I told her to be calm and steady. She smiled, hugged me and said she will. I am truly proud of both Daniel & Loreen for taking that step of faith in strengthening their relationship in Holy matrimony. Standing at the rostrum and delivering the order of day and then moving to the side of the wall as the lovely couple do their vows, exchanging of rings and their Unity Sand act together, I couldn’t help being the very proud “outside” father! Hahahahhahaaaa….my own terminology la…. Yeah, SLing later confided in me that she felt like a proud and beaming “outside” mother too seeing both Daniel & Loreen taking their vows and sealing their love covenant with GOD. Yeah, it was their time to shine and glow for their guests. I guess, that’s the marriage magic, right? So, I truly understand the feelings of the parents seeing their children taking their marriage vows together.   

I guess, being counselors, SLing and I couldn’t be prouder seeing our “children” ( the lovely couples – Kelvin & Sharon, Alex & JCyn, Stephen & Eunice, Joshua & Jialerq and now, Daniel & Loreen ) making decisions and asserting firm marriage foundations  in their daily lives as they embark on their journey from friendship, courting couple, a married couple, parenthood and later on to old age. No one can tell the future, that’s true but you can see the future better when you built your marriage on the firm foundation of trust, love, endurance and lots of patience. You may stumble, fall or even make mistakes along the way but it is always that very foundation of GOD that we must fear and adhere to that we are able to pick up ourselves and move ahead in life. 

Unity Sand  emblem....unique

I must admit in all honesty that SLing and I are not very good counselors or ever claim to be one. But both of us believe very much in speaking honestly, sharing and going through experiences together. We face our fears and joys together and we stand firm on the very foundation of God.  

Sure, there is no sure fixer nor guarantee in your marriage days and ahead but if you believe in the vows you make when you stood there in front of GOD and wed your partner, you will make it through the days.  

So, to Daniel & Loreen Teo, my beloved “children”, God bless you both abundantly in your life journey and may you both enjoy the life journey together with much blessings, laughter and smiles.  

My advice to all couple out there  :- Stay that faith and work that faith. For the singles..........wait for the works of the mischievous uncles & aunties to work their magic again......if they have not kicked the bucket yet,okay?
