Day 8: Sick Leave at the Howat's (Jun 17)

Eunice still attending her Camp Freedom online class in the morning while I slept through the entire morning, shivering and moaning due to a bout of fever and cold. Felt too weak even to vomit! So, had to cancel the trip to Berea Colleage in Kentucky. All the driving is also tiring me out.... This holiday trip is quite different in terms of how the virus traveled from Eliza to Wai Bing and then to Eunice and myself - Looks like we have to postpone our ice-cream adventures for a while!

 Had a leisurely afternoon shopping at Kohl's (yes, finally got my pair of Levi jeans!). Got a very good deal with other stuff (Wai Bing's shoes, etc) using Shaunna's card plus an extra friendly staff who tried to give us as much discount as possible!

Was so happy to have received Eunice's second book - "A Spoonful of Sugar" - produced by Blurb and delivered to Shaunna Howat. Such an inspiration!

Day 6: Camp Freedom & Ohio Trip (Jun 15)

Today marked the first of five lessons in Camp Freedom 2015 - a week long camp (3 hours a day) which look into the deeper issues of worldview, morality, politics and the philosophy of education. A real treat that one of the speakers is Carl Kerby - former AiG speaker.

Special porridge prepared by my wife as Eunice and myself now being affected by the "Eliza Bug" - that traveled all the way from Malaysia (Wai Bing was the first one to get it - Thank God, she has now recovered). We are now starting to get cold and feverish.... Furthermore, have to drive about 6 hours to Ohio (Loveland) today to Shaunna Howat's home. Driving in the intense summer heat had given me quite a tan on my arms!

Amazing that we had the opportunity to bump into Tyler upon arrival at the Howat's house as he just arrived from Indonesia - in transit to Texas to attend the ACCS Conference (Association of Classical and Christian Schools). Such a pleasure to be with Shaunna and Kyle, being in fellowship with liked-minded educationists! Arrived late....past 9.00pm. Feeling tired and a bit more ill.....
