5: We moved to Jalan Isnin

Our third home in Thomson is in Jalan Isnin, Thomson Garden Estate, having moved there in late 1987.

One happy event that we like to host in Jalan Isnin is that of Advent in which we celebrate Christmas.

At Jalan Chempah, we entertained guests from SEAMEO countries who were scholarship recipients of the RELC awards. They hailed from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Our growing children spent happy days @ Jalan Chempah.
