Bangkok - My First Holiday Outside Malaysia

Mr Quah Guan Teik organised this bus trip to Bangkok.  Good holiday after LCE.  On returning to ACS the LCE results were out on the notice board!  Well certainly a lot of anxiety all the way home!  Mr Chan Chee Yin (Maths teacher) met his wife-to-be during this trip.  I am seated 3rd from right.

The Marriage Conference @ CGMC




Dr Greg Smalley presented great ideas from his new book on how to "Fight Your Way To A Better Marriage".  He works with Focus on the Family, USA.

His 4 Steps to a Win/Win outcome in any marriage conflict:
  1. Think Win/Win - reaffirm this to each other.
  2. Take time to understand what the win is for each person.
  3. Brainstorm possible solutions.
  4. Select a course of action that both feel good about and implement it.
