Welcome to our blog - The Ryvian's Sanctuary. Well, you must have wonder why it is called RyVian? Isn't it obvious? Ryan and Vivian - it's the name that you got if you merged our name together. Just like how banks merged and changed their names. Commerce Bank and Southern Bank merged became CIMB Bank (not CHIM-peng ok...).

Then what about Sanctuary, u may ask? In layman's term, an animal sanctuary means a place where animals live and are protected. By now u may giggle and say 'hahaha...tis fella sot liau..he thinks he is orang utan...' But let me tell you why i decided to name it Sanctuary.

First of all, i'm not orang utan. I'm just trying to think of a better name other than 'Heaven', 'Palace', or 'Kingdom' or anything that sounds 'lala' (i don't mean the seafood punya lala...i mean 'lala'...winks). And so, 'sanctuary' appeared in my mind. The other reason is that we would like this blog to be a virtual place for us to live and seek refuge in, through thick and thin. Sometimes, some words are hard to come by and spoken to when we're face to face, and so, this serves as an alternative world for us to share what's in our heart all along. Not bad an idea, eh? =)

The other reason why we started this blog is because we would like to have our memories being immortalized somewhere, not just fading as time passes by. Of course we would like this blog to be 'alive and kicking' even when we're as old as our grandparents so that we can 'show-off' to our Ralph Lauren (those are the names of our sons...don jealous ya..hahaha) that their parents are IT-savvy too and know how to write 'ber-loke' also wan...don pray pray!

So, stay tuned for more updates from time to time...it's gonna be a long journey from now on...=)
