Kak wai would like to thanked friends Nancy D & hubby, Jimmy M & wife and; my cousin Indai Ijil & Apai Ijil for their kind assistance and hospitality while I was in Labuan, sending my daughter to continue her studies at Matriculation College, without their assistance it would not be easy and smooth as it was... Only God can repay all the kindness, assistance rendered to me and my daughter, and it was a pleasure meeting with them too. May the good Lord continue to shower all of them with many more blessings, love and favor...Amen.
I believe there will be more trips to Labuan Island, till then....take care and God bless.
