14 SEP 2012: Talk on Social Entrepreneurship at SMU
Alvin was invited to speak to students at the Singapore Management University about Social Entrepreneurship.
It is wonderful to see so many young university students who are keen to take on social causes and start social enterprises.
Alvin shared his experience at the Children's Garden Home in Nairobi, Kenya, and the creation of the social enterprise brand Little Fingy's. |

16 SEP 2012: Family Gathering at Yew Tee
 |
It's our turn to host the Yongs so we held an eat-all-you-can buffet at our home - Grandparents, Uncle Melvin's, Aunt Janet's, Aunt Hellen's families, and two GrandAunts joined in the fun.
Robyn presented her fried rice debut and it was fabulous! We ordered popiah, kueh party and koro buns from Fortune Food, and everyone enjoyed them. |

Our special guests were Aunt Judith and Uncle Yip from Sydney, Australia.
> Janice: "Mum, roll one popiah for me, pleaseeeee."

22-24 SEP 2012: Yiku's Wedding in KL
Alvin drove grandparents and little Gaven up to KL to attend cousin Yuki's wedding. They stopped over at Taiping for lunch and grandpa discovered, again, that his new pair of shoes bought in China were 'disintegrating'! Grandpa has a record of spoiling his shoes and buying new shoes while on holidays! So the first place that we visited in this trip was a shoe shop in Taiping! |

We visited Grand Aunt at Kajang. |

Aunt Kweh Lian with Gaven. |

Uncle Chai with Gaven at Bangi. |

Wonderful dinner with Grand Aunt at Kajang.
> We stayed at the Hotel Equatorial in Bangi, where Alvin experienced his first Art of Living Advanced Course in Nov 2009.
