Christine, Eugene and I, first landed in Auckland, New Zealand on 19th October 1995. It was a condition for permanent residents to land in the country to satisfy immigration requirements for all applicants. Pearl did not come until 1996. She was sitting for her form 5 exams in Miri. Rose was staying at our house for 2 weeks to keep her company.

Kevin first arrived alone in NZ as an overseas student. As soon as he finished his form 5 exams in November 1994, I put him on a plane for Christchurch. He was enrolled at the polytechnic doing an intensive course in English. Keith Yong, an immigration consultant in Miri helped me to make all the arrangements for this  short English course and also the enrolment at Cambridge High for Kevin to study form 7 in January 1995.
