I guess none of you would check this blog so...

Just acidently found out our blog and i still have my account, wired. It was almost four or five years ago since we updated. Just want to write something cause it's fun. Well i'm looking forward to bessie's new house, and it should be next year in january we're moving... can't wait. Aron's cooking i think and he asked if i wanted a steak too, but i said no cause i would love to have the chicken wings he made yesterday. It was goooooood, really good. I still need to continue reading the power point to those courses, and i'm not looking forward to the experiment tomorrow at the lab cause sometimes it's frustrating. Nobody can laugh about my english here and i'm happy about that. i love our family so much.

family update. Bessie

Papa just came back from Thailand. Went there with all the other uncles and grandmama. Grandmama's health is getting worse rapidly. She is shrinking, and seem to have lost her short term memory completely. It's easy to imagine how much our uncles like to quarrel to each other, so the 5day trip wasn't the most peaceful trip one can experience. Papa didn't join the fights as usual, and was happy to be home after that.

Heard from Mum Becca was experiencing some difficulties in Brunstad's accounting department, but guess she had got through it by now.

Clement is having his Ielts test coming Saturday. He doesn't seem to be too worried about it. So hope it will go well.

Aron is still applying to come to Melbourne by the end of March. Right now waiting for his old school to start again, so that he can get his offical result from the school. It is needed in his application to Latrobe Language Center. He might be staying with the Van Oords (Helen, Marjus, Reng etc.) , but not sure just yet.
Talked to him a few times. He is mostly at home, watching movies or play PC games. Sounded in good spirit when I rang. Also he has an email address now. aron.hamster@gmail.com. Don't ask me where 'hamster' came from.

Gladys is doing really well,, she has started language school yesterday. Has to get up early in the morning (about 6.15am?) in order to get by 8am. A girl drops her off at the bus stop so she can catch a bus to school.

Mama had her body examinated today. She made me really worried about her serious high blood pressure. Some people even thought that she had problems with her kidney. At worst times she thought she might die. Anyway now she knows that there's nothing wrong with her kidney, and some medication will help her. Latest news is that she just had her first good sleep since Dec.

I am fine here. Just finished my exams. Had a wonderful camping trip with the youth, including Clement, =). Not such work this week.

Not such news from Caleb, but hope he is doing well in Sydney. Aron, Clement and I are hoping to visit him together coming Easter.

That's all for now. keep in touch.

Gladys

Cheer for Gladys, Our brave girl.

Rang Gladys after she got to Norway,, she said she was really really tired, as she couldn't sleep on her way. Transfering in London wasn't difficult after all. She said it was really straight forward.

Dear baby. I am just being so proud of her, that she had faced the British Airway officers so bravely, and now being all by herself in Norway so bravely. No one is at home (where Gladys lives) at the moment. I asked her not to sleep just yet, because it is harder to get over jet-lag if she sleeps during the day. No shops around where she lives, (Caleb and I know), quite a remote place, like most of the places in Norway.

Cheer for Gladys, our brave baby girl!

We will all pray for you, Baby.

Love always.

Bessie

P.s. Gladys can you post some of your traveling photos online?

If you have time, it will be really nice if you can write a little something about your trip,, in Chinese/English..

Days - Caleb

So...this would be the second update.

Rang Clement yesterday @ 11.47, sung him half a birthday song. Was a bit late, but if I cannot be the first one to ring him at least I am the last. He just finished work in Bunnings Warehouse and sound quite happy. Couldn't believe he is already 19 years old. Time really flies. Bessie passed her driving test, cheers for bessie~

Haven't ring home for days already. I miss home but just do not know what to say. It would be really nice if all of us could be sitting in the garden having afternoon tea, just like it was 15 years ago. We all grow and everyone takes a different path. Really hope Aron and Gladys understand how lucky they are to be able to stay at home.

Heard that Dad was very sick, hope he is fine.

Anyway~everyone, seems like non of us have been posting any comments on the blog yet.

Clement said he was going to create a new one with a better address, something like 'thewongs.com'. When he was here two weeks ago he even suggested every one should have a middle name, Becca the Wong, Caleb the Wong, Bessie the Wong etc. He has quite a bit of sense of humor now.


So..............Mr. Aron the Wong and Gladys the Wong, Please post comments on this blog whenever you are free.

If Becca is reading the blog, sister I miss you, hope everything is doing well in Norway.

All the best everyone~
