Here’s the most important part of what I have done in April.

April 6th – Uncle James Wong, mom’s eldest brother passed away on Good Friday, 6 April. In the morning, his eldest daughter who married more than 10 years without having a child gave birth to a baby girl whom they called Esther.

April 7th – My younger sister gave me to a baby son on the next day after Uncle passed away. They named my nephew James Damian to honour the late uncle. May his soul rest in peace.

April 12th – I took 2 days off (12th and 13th) from my work and went to Amsterdam to celebrate my birthday with my dear friend/sister, Myrna. In the afternoon, she, her little daughter and I went to her mother’s house in Haarlem (I call her mami Molly). And there I got a surprise birthday cake. We had fun, lots of pics and little Zumi took pictures as if it was her birthday. In the evening, Myrna and I went to the city in Amsterdam. Enjoyed our dinner together with her partner and his friend. Then off we went to another cafe nearby then later on the 2 of us went to a very chique bar where all the interesting people meet up. Around midnight we went to a Jazz club to enjoy the live Jazz performance. Lots of fun night and it was about 3 am when we reached her home, walking like pink-panter.

April 16th – My colleague and I bought delicious cakes from the Bijenkorf in Rotterdam.

Apr 21-22, we (Wim, mami Molly and I) drove from home to Wedel (near Hamburg), Germany for the confirmation of our girlfriend’s (Flores) son, Jonathan. Quite a lot of Sabahan friends turned up from several countries in Europe including Scandinavia. Patty, Maureen and family and Christine came from 3 different places in Norway; Vic and family and Leo were 2 families from England; Maggie and husband, Maggie’s big sister Bibiana and husband, Corah and husband and Agnes, all are from Germany; and my husband and me and Molly from the Netherlands. Of course there were some Malaysians and German people attending as well. It was a nice gathering for us the Sabahans.

Apr 24-27, I went to the headoffice of Adidas in Herzogenaurach, Germany to discuss about our expectations from both side. It was my first time meeting with most people whom I was going to work with apart from the Controller whom I have met in September in Rotterdam. I had arranged various meetings with various people in various department and by the time it ended, I was quite exhausted but quite satisfied.
