Not expecting to see snow and ice here right?
It’s an early Thursday Chinese New Year morning and everyone’s asleep but I awoke as I normally do with the break of light. I love the quietness and stillness of the morning which I observe on the river as I sit on my sofa of my living room slowly sipping hot freshly brewed coffee and listening to the chirpings of the birds outside. I love these peaceful meditations.
I hardly read the newspapers nor watch TV and I’m not missing anything preferring magazines and news services I subscribed to on the net. I checked my email and was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Liza and Lars who lived in Kg Semadang but are currently in Oslo, Norway. This is part of what they wrote - “We got in contact with Marissa, a girl from west malaysia who got our mail add. from you. Also saw your blogg ………………cool. We’re sending a few pictures and Marissa is the girl to the left in the pic with 4 asian girls. As you can see, it’s freezing cold here, but we love skiing in the forrest.”
About one month ago, Marissa wrote to me after stumbling on my blog looking to get in touch with her old friends Liza and Lars whom she has lost contact. Marissa who’s from KL but now living in Norway saw the photos I took of Lars and was certain that it looked like him. Anyway they managed to contact each other and I’m glad that through my blog they managed to get in touch again in the true tradition of reunion that is the spirit of the Chinese New Year. And talking about surprises - I bet Marissa, Liza and Lars would be surprise with this post!

Hello Francis!
What a pleasant surprise indeed. Thank you so much for your nice words and for getting Liza/Lars and myself back in touch. It was really good seeing her again and she is bubbly as ever. We talked about her ongoing homestay project and boy.. what an exciting project it is! I hope to visit it in the near future as I have never been to East M’sia.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy and Prosperous New Year - Brgds. Marissa
Beautiful pictures, but I think I’d rather kayak in Malaysia.
