Christmas is near

Christmas has always been a time of great joy and happiness for the family.  I still have the old family tree purchased by my mother many years ago.  Recently, I transported the tree to 15 Clarke Street where more people will be abe to see and appreciate it.  Got some new decorations for the tree.  

Christmas is about Jesus Christ, the son of God, coming to earth to save His people.  I am saved by grace through faith in my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  All praises and thanks to Him. 




And some of the old decorations have brought back very fond memories.




Opelah



OPELAH featured excerpts from The Marriage of Figaro, Broadway musicals and Chinese art songs.  The lead singers were Mezzo Soprano Ms Marianne Poh and Soprano Ms Lee Yi Jing.  Mr Kok Kee Boon was the accompanist. The production was held at 15 Clarke Street on the 7 and 8th December.  The audience enjoyed the shows very much.

Consdering a Secretariat building for Lahat Road YMCA

Just had a Board Meeting today and decided not to buy the 3 storey Lahat Road shop house opposite the ACS school. The building is located at a prominent place but parking will be a problem.  Will be difficult to hold events there.  

The price at RM 370k is cheap, actually the cost of the land alone.  But the cost of renovation will be steep because it is rather dilapidated.  If we are to renovate it will cost a large sum of money.  Then who shall rent from us?  There are many shophouses in Ipoh which are vacant at this point in time.  The economy is not doing so well.
