    • I'm a pregger. January 30, 2012
      Well, the stick showed it, and the ob/gyn confirmed it. So I guess I am officially pregnant now! The baby is in its week 7 and is the size of a blueberry. This week the baby is developing arms and legs. It's mind-boggling a 'thing' the size of a blueberry has hands and feet!Wow, it sounds so surreal! When I took the pregnancy test, I was expec […]

    • Happy Chinese New Year! January 23, 2012
      Yay! The first day of Chinese New Year. This is the year of the dragon, which is probably the most auspicious year for the Chinese, since we Chinese are the descendants of the dragon.Every year during this time I miss my family terribly. It's supposed to be a time for family gathering and I miss out on that every year ever since I moved to the U.S. Sigh […]

    • Story #358: Thanksgiving 2011 November 26, 2011
      Happy Thanksgiving! I had a great time in Las Vegas with my cousins and their families. One of my cousins and her daughter flew in from Malaysia and they drove to Las Vegas with my other cousin and her family. It was so great to see them and get caught up on each other's life. This was the first time I celebrated Thanksgiving with my side of the family […]

    My First Week with Elder Tan

    By Leighton | June 26, 2007

    Well, I am still in Bintulu. I am with Elder Tan and we are getting along fine. He is a very hard worker, and we are getting a lot of work done in the flats. When he first came to the house, it was a really big mess. But he went right to work and started cleaning, and now it actually is really nice. Elder Tan used to be here before, for 6 weeks, so he still knows a lot of people. Elder Tai is also here. He’s my bud from KL. I used to go on exchanges with him before he was a missionary, and now he’s here with me. It is really cool. We have a lot to reminisce about, and can often just talk and talk and talk. Haha. He also just came in from Colombo, so we talk about that a lot too. I miss Colombo, and all the good people there. Elder King is his companion. He is cool too, but I still need to get to know him better.
    This last week, Nguti was baptized. She is sooo cool. She is really smart and also a really good person. She wants to go to the temple and also to be a missionary someday. She is amazing. Well, my buds wanna go to the Pasar, so I got to go now. I’ll try to put up some more videos next week. I love you all!

    Here’s the pics from this week:
