Comings and Goings in Feb '08

In February we will loose two, but gain one.

Sadly, for us, Peter Jackson and Sinyee - our last remaining Asian international member, will be leaving.

Sinyee has lived with us for almost two years, but, after taking Sam (her man) to meet the parents in Malaysia, she has decided to move in with him - sad for us, but exciting for her - we just hope that she doesn't get a house too far away, and that she still comes and has hot pot with us and maybe makes sushi with us occasionally too. We all love Sinyee - especially the way she laughs at my jokes, and she will be sorely missed. God Bless you Sinyee.

One of Sinyee's special skills is entertaining the GH kids - here she is with Asher, the youngest GHer - this leads us to suspect that she may have plans with Sam...



Peter (aka Guns) has only been with the GH for about 6 months, but has brought a lot of love - here he is washing our car and taking care of our kids - and a lot of character - like the container filled with noodles in the fridge one day when he had drastically overestimated the how many were coming to tea. On top was written "What a hilarious misunderstanding" - you have to have watched Flight of the Conchords to get it but we thought it was hilarious. Peter isn't leaving because he's sick of us, or because of a woman (so far as we can tell) but because he feels called to do community somewhere else - Vic Uni. The good thing is he'll still be around and can bring his new flat over for dinner. Peace Peter - Thanks for joining us for a while.

Our new addition to the Greenhaus family - sounds like we're having a baby - is Josh, a fully grown south-islander who cares for the environment through urban planning at MFE, and who plays the bass. Stoked to have another musician in residence! We've been courting Josh for a while now, but up till Feb he has had other living commitments. Welcome Josh. We look forward to some good times.
