My dear cousin Mohan,

How are you? I hope you are in the best of health. We are fine here.

Asha gave us a scare last week when she had high fever. Mum took her to see Dr. Zhu as Dad was busy working. He had to finish repairing Encik Nathan's car.

By the way, how did you celebrate the 'New Millennium'? There was a fantastic celebration over here in Kuala Lumpur. We saw fireworks, performances by local artistes, a laser show and even a fashion parade.

How was your celebration? I heard there was a procession and a martial arts demonstration in Georgetown. Did you go? I also heard there was a similar celebration in Pahang and Selangor.

I have to stop now as my eyes feel heavy. It is past midnight. I hope to hear from you soon. Please convey my regards to uncle Shah and auntie Nita.
