We left home with the cadets at 8.15 a.m. for Changi Corps. The road was clear and we got there very early. Attended Prayer meeting at 9.15 a.m led by the Corps Officer, Lieut. Colonel Prema Rajan.
I led the meeting and my wife gave the Bible message. After the meeting, Captain Hary took us, his mother and the two cadets to Pasir Ris for lunch.
Good to worship with the Changi comrades once again. We were delighted to see again our old friends - Emelie, her husband Johnny and her daughters and grand daughter- the whole family worshipping together. I've known Emelie since childhood days when we lived in Lorong Limau and we both attended Balestier Corps. That goes back more than 60 years ago. And there was Charles Lim and family, formerly Balestier folk. There was Beatrice Lim, my old neighbour and former Balestier Corps comrade.
Fifty years ago in Penang, on Mother's Day, our first child came! What a lot has happened since then. Now we thank God for our three children, and six grandchildren, the first grandson will graduate from University soon.
