Leah’s Cafe

I have been really terrible at keeping in touch with people that I used to know when I was living in VA. After few years of not contacting them at all, I finally picked up the phone and called this morning.

Managed to talk to J for a good 40 minutes. His wife H was not home, as usual busy volunteering at different places.:-)Would have to call back some time in future to talk to H and the little girl whom I was teaching Mandarin years ago. She is 9 years old, a big girl now! I really missed her.

Was quite a shock to learn that both of them have contracted Lyme disease in the past few years and were not in good health. Despite of that J is doing really well in his river conservation work.

I remembered J asked me whether there is a clean river in the town I live (not in the jungle or up the mountain) that you can swim and canoe. Shame to say, we have none. The Melaka City Council had spent a few millions to clean up the river, but it’s still as smelly and as dirty as ever, may be they should consult J or learn something from his education, conservation and restoration work.
