Elijah's Baptism

Elijah was baptized on 27 September 2008 at St. Francis of Asissi church in Cheras. The priest is Fr. Valentine Gompok (orang sabah juga) who was kind enough to slot us in on short notice. Alex family and my parents came all the the way from Johor and Sabah to attend this special ceremony. My sister Grace and her husband Tony are the godparents for Elijah (Thanks heaps who came back from perth to KK and back to KL just for this ooccasion).
