After playing around with the iPod Touch and YowCH’s HTC Desire smart phone, and considering that the free phone with plan re-contract, Grace got herself a smart phone, the HTC Wildfire S running Android 2.2.3 on Monday 20 June 2011.
This phone is about 2cm shorter than the Desire, but works practically the same.
We have added our holiday and church camp photos in to the following two pages:
Church Camp was from 13 to 17 June 2011. We drove from Singapore to PJ on 12 June 3:30am to 6:30am (yes, that was pretty fast), spent one night in PJ then drove to Penang on 13 June 5:40am, stopped by Ipoh for breakfast at 7:45am and reached The Gurney hotel, Penang at 10:45am.
After camp ended at noon of 17 June, we visited Fort Cornwallis, then drove back to PJ, starting at 2:45pm, with a rest stop at Ipoh around 4:40pm to 5:20pm, and reaching PJ home at 7:30pm. Then, we spent Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday in PJ with family and friends. We left PJ at 6:00am on Monday 20 June, stopped at Yong Peng lay-by from 8:15am to 8:45am and reached home at 10:00am.
We covered 830km from Singapore to Penang, and the whole trip clocked 1723km.
On 5 June (Sunday) we had dinner with mum, dad and Gene at Cedele, Great World City to celebrate Esther’s birthday:

Esther turned 9 on 6 June 2011.
After the previous week’s Seremban/PJ, we drove up again (with Yan, PQ and Siu Hei) to PJ on Friday, 3 June for Loon and Daren’s marriage registration. We started off at about 4:45am and reached PJ homeat 8:15am, well on time for the registration at 11:30am.
That night, we went shopping and saw very large Angry Birds:
The next day, the extended family had lunch together at Jaya 1.
At 2:30pm, we drove over to Pontian but was stuck in a long jam before Ayer Keroh as the toll station was down:
We arrived just on time at Pontian (7:30pm) for Grace’s cousin Wei’s wedding dinner at a school hall (classic Malaysian style).
We reached home just before midnight.
We drove to Seremban on 28 May (started at about 7:00am) for Grace’s Seremban Convent reunion at Allson Klana Resort.
There we met up with Chee Kean and Ming Meng and had some fun in playgrounds, the lake graden and A&W.
We then drove to PJ and spent the night with YowCh’s family. Esther and David then stayed on for a week-long holiday while YowCH, Grace adn Joseph returned to Singapore on Sunday.
