A Week Ago..

Just arrived from vacation a week ago. Indeed it was fun. It’s not only just because about the vacation, it’s about spending time with the family. There were 7 of us during the vacation and people said the more you spend time with your family members, the more closed you are to them. I think this is true. Something that you can’t bought or sold..happiness and spending time with your family.. Yes, it was fun..we put ourselves in that relaxing state, however there were once which we felt so tired too when my mom was really eager with her shopping. She did all the shopping and of course we were the one who have to wait for her. And for the entire of my life, I never saw her shopped like that in KL..Maybe that’s one way to release some pressure from her ordinary work in office.. I think so..hehe

Apart from that, our journey to Genting Highland from Bukit Bintang went well. We went there by a small bus. We booked a van actually, but the driver drove that small bus because he picked up some tourist too before that. Maybe quite a number of tourist.. Upon arrived at Genting Highland as well at the First World Hotel lobby, as usual there were a lot of people waiting for hotel check in. We used the self check in kiosk and it’s faster than I imagine because you don’t have to wait so long to get your room number /room key from the check in counter since you don’t have to wait for your queue up number been called to do so. We booked 3 rooms, one for my parents, one for my siblings, and me and hubby for a room. We were in relaxing state at this time because no more walked around too much for shopping hehe.. just walking here and there to play the games at the indoor park.

We were so disappointed since we can’t go around and play at the outdoor theme park due to the bad weather. Fogs, raining and windy..the outdoor theme park were closed. Fortunately we didn’t buy the outdoor tickets that morning, because the weather was so bad for the whole day. But too bad we can’t play at the outdoor park. My youngest sister age 11 years was really disappointed. She really wants to feel the excitement at the outdoor theme park. I think it was bad idea to do a vacation for Genting Highland in the month of December. I confronted her to go there again next year. Perhaps in the middle year maybe.. We went for indoor games and entered the Ripley’s Believe or Not Museum.

Blessed Advent and what more..

It’s 30th November already and I can’t wait for tomorrow.. Yes, tomorrow is the day where I and family together with dear hubby go for a 5 days vacation. It’s cuti-cuti Malaysia this time.. We decided to fill our vacation trip in KL and for Genting Highland. Since dear Mom and Dad never been in Genting Highland before as well as my two younger sisters, it would be great for them to fill this holiday there. As for my youngest sister, it would be fun holiday for her as it is school holiday and I hope this is very much like vacation that she would never forget.

Our flight to KL schedule is at about 11.45am on 1st December and we decided to stay at about 2 nights in Bukit Bintang area. We booked an affordable hotel for 2 triple sharing rooms. Cardogan Hotel would be nice because it is strategically located in the heart of the prime commercial centre in the city, surrounded by major shopping and entertainment centres, banks and etc. Then, we will proceed to First World Hotel in Genting Higland for the rest of the vacations. I hope we will have a fun and relaxing trip. I would like to get a fun as well as relaxing trip since it would be best for mom and dad. I don’t want the vacation be like a tired trip for them.. as I considering their age and physical strength.

Ok that’s all for now..

Will update about it later, absolutely after the vacation and I might put on some pics.. :)

And...not forget for all Catholics, Happy Advent..:)
Christmas is around the corner.. and I really can’t wait..

Christmas tree is already up followed by its’ decorations.

Thinking about celebrating it with family and friends.. :)

Perhaps an open house for this year..

hmmm...perhaps...perhaps.. hehe.. :p

So Fast...

Time flies so fast..and it is past mid November already.. wahhh..and i really can't wait December.. Many celebration will be celebrated on December (for me).. Of course Christmas will be one of it. For me, December will be an all in one celebration..hehehe..

Christmas will be on 25th.. and our 2nd anniversary will be on 29th.. and before that, me and my hubby's birthday will be on the 13th and 17th.. wahhh..full of celebrations isn't,hehehe...:)

By the way, me and hubby together with about 5 of my family members will be on vacation on the 1st Dec to 5th Dec.. So, i hope we will be having a lot of fun and a relaxing trip..:)

So what's your plan for December.. :)

**************************************************
On the other hand, i would like to send my Congratulations to Ms Arlene Andrew and her hubby, Mr Nicholas Tudol for their wedding ceremony on the 7th November 2009.
May they live happily ever after..

With the bride and groom at their wedding reception in
Tmn Teluk Meruntum. (Bride's residence).

Me and the beautiful bride, Arlene.. :)

November..

It’s November..and what I should do on this month..perhaps something that can relax my mind.. to be honest, as usual I am still busy with the office work and I can’t concentrate to other things unless all the office work done. Hmmm... plus, really want to spend more time with the one I share my life with.. So as far as my concern..not much family celebration on November..but this must be the excitement month for the students..especially my youngest sister, because there will be a long holiday for them.. school break for about a month plus.. wow.. I am so happy for her too..wish to bring her ‘jalan-jalan’ later..plus she like swimming so much and that is her regular activity on weekend..

And as my post before, many couple tying their knot on November.. Wedding celebration here and there.. I received 2 invitations and will take photos for remembrances.. :)

So what would your November like?.. Hope it’s a blast one..full of enjoyment and excitement..:)

p/s: A prayer to the all saints and all souls..Hope they rest in peace.. in heaven.. GOD bless.

Congratulations to Rosie and Winston

Congratulation to Rosie and Winston for their wedding on last weekend.. There’re so many couple tying knot this year and me myself got at about more than 5 wedding invitations. However, I really love to attend wedding ceremony/party. I like to see those brides and grooms on their reception with different style of dress, hair-do and etc. I love to see the happiness that shine from their face..as well as the family members too..

The reception took place at KDCA, Penampang at about 1pm.. and I guess the wedding mass was the day before because I didn’t attend the wedding mass.. However, the wedding reception was absolutely joyful with those friends and family members who were trying to show their style on their dances..which we called the “Sumazau” dance, a traditional dance for Kadazan Dusun ethnic here in Sabah..

Once again..Congratulations to Rosie and Winston.. May they live happily ever after..GOD bless.

As Usual..

It’s Tuesday and as usual I can’t wait Friday..what a tired October I have.. Need to finish the whole work..Thank GOD, He gave me a good assistant.. Hopefully all this particular work will finish as soon as possible.. Possibly before November.. since I don’t want to have a busy month anymore, plus December also not far away.. I have plan with family on the first week of December.. We decided to go on a holiday..and I hope this one will be much a relaxing trip since I had enough with the stress over the office.. and.. Christmas also not so far away from now...yeay! So what I can do now is..wait..and see...carry on with my work.. till all is done..And for sure,I’m gonna buy myself with good reward... to pamper me and get some calmness moment..like I always do..

Oh my God, I can’t wait for that...please help me to face this present thing..

By the way, dear reader...have a wonderful week.. =)
GOD bless..

Tired and BUZY Monday..

Tired and buzy Monday.. my eyes getting tired.. and sleepy too.. it’s 4pm now and I can’t wait to go home..

GOD please give me strength to face this day...

Happy DEEpavali..

Hello dear friends.. I am back.........!!!!

It's been so long i didn't update here and seriously i miss blogging so much.. I am so busy with the current work..and when back at home, i don't have that much energy to update here.. but for now since it's public holiday for Deepavali, i like to send my wish HAPPY DEEPAVALI for all Malaysian.. Yes..we are 1 Malaysia and i really feel that we're celebrating it together.. but remember, don't take too much mutton curry ok...hahaha..nanti sakit perut.. :P For those who are going to friends' house.. remember ok, kalau makan tu jgn berlebihan..hahaha..kawal pemakanan anda..:P

So today is the Deepavali Day and i didn't have any invitation for Deepavali.. Maybe I'll just stay at home resting all day or maybe will go to parents house later to pay some visit..

By the way.. I like to share a song..which i love so much... Yes..it's a new song.. A new song from Whitney Houston called "I Look To You".. i think this is a meaningful song and the tune also nice to hear.. Maybe some of you ever heard this before..and might to share this to all my dear readers..


I Look to You - Whitney Houston
As I lay me down,
heaven hear me now.
I'm lost without a cause
after giving it my all.

Winter storms have come
and darkened my sun.
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

About to lose my breathe,
there's no more fighting left,
Sinking to rise no more,
searching for that open door.

And every road that I've taken
lead to my regret.
And I don't know if I'm going to make it.
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

My levees are broken
My walls have come
tumbling down on me

The rain is falling.
Defeat is calling.
I need you to set me free.

Take me far away from the battle.
I need you.
Shine on me.

I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

HELP ME...

I am really feel so slow today..don’t know why..maybe it’s just because I slept at about 1.30 o’clock last night. But it’s not just today... I feel slow nowadays.. Nothing new here and there but at least I am very happy because dear one will be in KK by this evening. Actually I am getting tired and bored with the job now.. I’ve been given duty to do the calculations of slope quantities for the whole slope in Sabah.. There are nearly thousand of them...and can u BELIEVE I have to do it on my own.. Means I have to do it ALONE.. I’ve been working on this for about 4 weeks now.. There’s no one could help me because everybody seems busy with their own work. I feel very tired of all these because there’s a lot more work to come and I don’t know when will this end.. It feels that as I finished done one part, more part will come.. I keep thinking in positive side.. and keep motivating myself.. “ I know I can do it..It’s just the matter of time..Stella you can do it!!!..”

However, 2 days ago, when we were in meeting session, boss asked me to finish all them up in this few weeks.. “Oh my GOD.......!!!” that’s what really comes out from my heart... I don’t have the confidence to finish it up in that period of time.. Workload become more..but workforce is absolutely less.. Can you imagine there are only 3 engineers in the office..The project manager, senior engineer and graduate engineer (that’s me)..There are 2 new engineers just come joining the company.. Since my workload become increase, I would be happy to have them to help me..but it would take a lot of time to train them.. That is why sometime I feel that I prefer to do this alone, but somehow I need someone to help me.. Oh GOD pls help me how to solve this.. One of the new engineer really don’t know how to apply the AUTOCAD software and I have to teach him right from the basic.. aduiiii!!!.... and the other one is assigned to help the senior engineer..

I hope I can do this well.. as well as can complete it on time.. GOD pls help.. Please give me strength..

I am sure some of you out there been in this situation before.. really need some advice now and maybe we can share something from that experiences of yours.. =)

Till then, have a pleasant week..and Happy working.. =)

Here and There..

I heard there are so much natural earth disasters here and there lately.. It was tsunami at Samoa, typhoon at Philippines and earthquake at Indonesia.. many victim been found dead each day..

I am so sympathy for those at Samoa, Indonesia and Philippines who lost their family members as result from those tragedies.. May GOD grant PEACE in their heart..and I pray may they will live in peace.. I am sure at this moment, the most thing they need is our care and help.. Prayer also is very important..

I am grateful that so far Malaysia didn’t have any of this disaster.. I mean not really bad as these countries.. So I hope we all Malaysian..don’t take this thing for granted.. Let us together join our hand to help the needer.. and one thing is we should feel grateful for we are living in a peace country.. and at least we should feel lucky for we’re likely free from all those bad disaster at the moment.. May GOD continue protect Malaysia from all those disaster..

and a prayer for the victims...

“ GOD, grant PEACE in their HEART.. Protect them..

and Let Your LOVE touch their HEART..
Oh Dear LORD, please help them to FACE those trouble.. “

Lately..

It’s been more than a week I didn’t update here.. I’ve been too busy lately.. Lots of work in office as well as to pay attention to my sisters and bro since they were staying at my house for the whole last week. Each of them wanted to use the internet line, and I gave that chance for them to use it. Last week was the Hari Raya celebration, and I didn’t go to any open house... A friend did invite me, but due to family thing, I can’t make it to her house. But she really understand and hoping we’ll be met one day. She was my schoolmate during our days in high school, Alicesa John.

On the other hand, I would like to congratulate my friend as well as my ex-classmate, Florence Robin on her wedding on last 20th September 2009. She’s absolutely looks gorgeous on her wedding day. I did attended her wedding ceremony at SDA Church Likas, KK. I am so happy to met her.. because we didn’t met since last day of our high school.. and as I look at her, she become more prettier and sweet together with her husband.
May GOD bless their marriage.

So now I might wanted to share things that I’ve been done for the last week.. It was school holiday.. As my sisters, Stacy and Sandra as well as my brother, Willie came to my house..they’re really can’t wait to do the swimming activity. Honestly, I didn’t get any courage to swim because I can’t swim hehehe.. I could swim but just by depending on a kicking board and.. that’s it. My hubby did taught me for several years now, but only end up with swimming by using kicking board..and I really hate to see others swimming without relying on kicking board coz I didn’t dare to swim without it.

Finally, a day which I assume a miracle happened.. it was 23rd September 2009.. I really remember this date..it was a historical date in my life.. the date where I can shout out “ I can SWIM!!!!”... Yes, really.. I did swim without relying on kicking board anymore and I’m sooooooo happy.. I even can hold long breath and dive deep inside the pool and touched the floor in it. What a miracle.. I didn’t afraid of water anymore and now I have the courage to swim and dive..hehehe.. Thank GOD for this.. and this reminds me that NOTHING is impossible in GOD’s hand.. the matter is ‘FAITH” should come first.. Thanks to my bro and not forget to my hubby and sisters for motivating me to do this..
I am so grateful.. :)



Sooo happy.. I can swim yeay! (opppssss sorry for the blurry pic.. :p)

Meanwhile, on the 3rd Raya day.. me and my hubby as well as bro and sisters went out for a trip. It’s not a long journey trip actually.. We were walking and taking some air just here around KK. We visited the KK Wet Land Centre and Bukit Bendera…and have a walk at Jesselton Point.. It was such a tiring journey because we’d been at 3 places for a day..but we had so much fun.. Had some see sighting and there were..click-click here and there..hihihi..
we enjoyed the photograph session..:)

It was the first time for me and the rest to be in the KK Wet Land Centre.. it was such a calm moment.. the place is really beautiful and calming.. I really love the green leaves and grass.. and I really encourage for all of you out there who want to release some stress from that busy city, to come here and have some calmness moment..



KK Wet Land Centre..



I Love the greenie..

Bukit Bendera is the place where you can view the city of Kota Kinabalu from up above the hill and you can view the whole KK centre from up there.. such an amazing view with its’ blue sky, islands and buildings.




KK view from Bukit Bendera..

It's Kota Kinabalu..


And lastly, Jesselton Point is a place where you can view the seasight…It was a beautiful and amazing view.. This place is a seaport place actually, a place for a station of transportation to Manukan Island, Mamutik Island and etc.. You can go to Labuan from this port too..



KK arch..



Love this view..



It's a ferry to Labuan..



All of us.. :)

We had so much fun and enjoyed the trip..
Three days later after the 3rd raya day trip, we went on a trip again.
It was on last weekend.. I'll post some story of it as well as pictures on my next post.

Till then, have a great day and enjoy your day..
GOD bless..

It's Around The Corner..

Hi dear friends..

Hari Raya is just around the corner.. and I can’t wait for it.. Yes, I can’t wait for raya holiday..hehehe..

So I want to take this opportunity to wish ‘ HAPPY HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI’ to all Muslim throughout the country.. I am so grateful to be born in Malaysia with various races and religions that make us to celebrate many celebrations throughout the year.

For all Muslims friends, I am sure at this moment they are trying as much as possible to prepare for the celebration with new clothes, new house appearance, a lot of cookies and etc.. No matter what type of preparation is that, may all you be enjoyed on this celebration.

And for those non Muslims friends, for sure they got their own plan for the holiday as well as of course will visit some Muslims friends open house, isn’t.. ;)

I am so PROUD that... we in Malaysia celebrate all the celebration together without counting on races, age, skin and religion. That’s what we called the spirit of ‘ ONE MALAYSIA’.

As for me, I don’t have any specific plan yet for the raya holiday but I am sure will got one soon..hehe.. I’m GLAD that holiday will coming soon..yeay!

So, once again.. HAPPY HARI RAYA..and enjoy your holiday.. :)

Have a GREAT week..

Monday..

Yes, it’s Monday again.. Another Monday to go through..

How’s your Monday..?

Hope you'll have a great and a pleasant Monday..

Perhaps a good one to remember.. :)

A Rose..

A Rose to dear readers..

No matter what event you are in today, hope this date give something special for you to remember..

Have a great day.. :)

People Changes..

This is some thinking..that I observed from people around.. a normal act in life..in human life..

People changes.. Yes.. it’s about those who think that they’re much more better than others. I was told by mom ever since I was small that don’t changes yourself or put yourself in that arrogant state when you’re already success in what you're doing.. I am grateful to have parents that really give me such a wonderful teaching of life and great impact in life. They always give examples of others (relatives,friends..etc) life about how their bad attitude finally making their life miserable..In the end of the day, they got their own reward..

Yes.. DO you believe this?.. I was told by mom that all good deed will received reward..and all bad deed will received reward too.. But it depends on what sort of reward is that.. And I believe that GOOD deed will receive GOOD reward, and BAD deed will receive BAD reward.. Only GOD can decide what sort of reward would HE give to them.. Can I say that?.. hehehe.. Amen!

People changes because they think now they’re the best than others. As before, I might say their life would be not in that good condition, they’re no different than others. However after received something good in life(promotion, good earning..etc..), now they pretend to be good but at the same time seeking for honour, begin to speak out loud trying to get attention, boasting about their so called great life covered by all that materialistic thought..

I wonder why they should act in this manner. Why they should changes so fast.. What is the BIG deal.. I bet they must be very proud of who they’re now.. A proud feeling is not a really wrong matter at all but if it blended with selfishness and boasting, I think this manner can’t be accepted at all.. We, human being are same level in the eyes of GOD.. and I didn’t surprise at all when some of people out there who really forgot GOD and putting they thinking more to materialistic way and MONEY..

I cannot say that MONEY is not important. Nowadays, financial is very crucial and everyone is chasing for MONEY to get a better life, to transfer their life to a much better state. But we’ll see where the MONEY will get them so far.. Is money really can buy happiness..? I mean a PURE happiness..

Well, yes... I agree that money can give you happiness.. YES..happiness on earth.. But for me, MONEY can give you happiness on earth, GOD can give you PURE Happiness, PURE Love and inner PEACE..

So what are the definition of PURE happiness and PURE Love?..

Some of you might know and had these PURE happiness & PURE Love experiences..

That I leave it up to you... for you to think about.. :)

Be grateful for what you have received today..

Have a pleasant week.. GOD Bless.

Classic Celebration..

Last Saturday was my Sister birthday celebration. We celebrated it in a classic way at home. Eventhough it was just at home.. it was fun and everybody's happy..I did gave a gift to her and she's very happy to have that perfume I bought. Started at 7pm, as usual prayer for food blessing and the cake before proceed with the 'makan-makan' and photography session..

Everything was fine and I wish that this Sister of mine will have a blessed life and will success in everything she dream for.

GOD bless everyone of us.. Have a great week everyone.. :)

Latest Obsession..

Yes..thinking of that title.. ‘latest obsession’..What is yours?.. As for me.. lately suddenly I so into this online shopping.. Don’t know why.. Maybe because of that pretty dress I found on the net that really attracted me, besides it would be easier for me to shop during leisure time

without going outside. Just stay at home and let my finger clicking on the mouse..and..

there u go my order sent..haha!

Hey..girls out there..take a look at this..who KNOWS.. maybe you’ll interested.. it’s worth and easy to get.. :) (just click on the picture to know more details..)

**********************************************************************************************************************************

On the other hand.. I am preparing myself for my sister’s birthday celebration this evening around 7pm.. She turns 20 on the 3rd September.. We decided to postpone her birthday celebration since it was Thursday and it was my thought too to postpone that celebration to Saturday (today) as everyone would be free and easier to come

to my parents’ house on weekend.

Now I am thinking what gift should I present to her.. Maybe something related with her age or perhaps something to do with religious.. Hmm..will think of it later.. As long as I bring something for her, it would be nice for a birthday GIRL.. hehe..

Ok that’s it for today..
Hope You all have a joyful weekend. GOD bless!

Sharing is Caring..

Conchita is my Facebook friend.. she baked the cupcakes last night for today's breakfast.. i knew her through FB and we never met before..
As she put on her FB status that she would bake cupcakes..
With not really put my mind on it, i mentioned for a pic..
Then she said, she will do that if she do remember.

And it's unexpected.. She did posted her cupcakes pic particularly to my profile..

and they are only 9 of them (the cupcakes in the pic) with the caption
"Stella,siou got network problm smlm...x dpt upload hehe,ni ari bru tkirim ko ni marble cupcakes...ada 8biji lg,ingat jg sa sma ko kan..(dui ba tapun2)..."

I feel so touched and I really appreciate that...

Eventhough I couldn't put them in my mouth to have a taste, but by just looking at it..
i can feel the yummy things melt in my mouth..WOW..what an imagination i have..hehe..
Maybe I would have it someday.. she said she's not professional enough to market her
cupcakes..still a lot of thing to learn.. :)

Thanks Conchita for sharing with me that lovely cupcakes pic..
Eventhough it's a small matter, it means a lot to me..

It's not just the matter of sharing.. It's the matter of caring..
It's a friendship that grow in it..

It's not about what have you done to others..
It's about the way you make them feel..

Proud To Be Malaysian

Proud to be Malaysian..

Proud to be in Independence Nation..

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY MALAYSIAN..

LONG LIVE MALAYSIA...

Dance With My Father

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved..

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again..

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yea yea
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me..

If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again..

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me..

I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again..

Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream..




My younger brother shared with me this song/video through Facebook.. The song really touched me and without my realisation, it brings tears to my eyes.. Really touching.. The lyric is so meaningful too..

To dear reader who not knowing this song..come and listen to it.. Trust me, no regret..

"Love you parents because you'll be regret when they're gone.. So love them while they're still there standing here on earth.. "

Have a nice week.. :)

He Keeps You Going...

I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy.
I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed..

Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trials keep you strong,
Sorrows keep you human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,
But only God keeps you going!..

A Story of Burnt Toast Bread..

Burnt Toast Bread..

“ When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad.

I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite.. When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said. " Baby, I love burned toast.."

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night, and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone! You know, life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook..”

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. Burnt toast should never be a deal breaker. We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship..

Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - but into your own.

People will always forget what you do, and they will always forget what you say, but they will never, ever forget the way you make them feel.. “

This story was really touched me.. I saw this on an old friend’s note in Facebook.. Thought this could give us great lesson in our relationship towards our partner, parents, siblings, relatives and friends.. Because I agree that people will never forget the way you make them feel and don't let that little silly thing ruins your happiness.. :)

The Spirit of Ramadhan..

Today is the 1st day for the Muslims friends doing their obligation for the month of Ramadhan.. Yes, that is for the fasting month.. So, I would like to take this opportunity of saying..

“Selamat Menjalankan Ibadah Puasa”.. to all dear Muslims friends and relatives..

Honestly, I do like this Ramadhan month.. because on the evening around 4pm to 6 pm there would be various stalls selling “kuih muih” and foods that are really seldom be sold in any months throughout the year.. So as usual, during this month, we the whole family will take an opportunity to buy foods from these stalls.. :)

So, malam tdk payah masak sdh..makan ja tapau dr bazaar ramadhan tu hehe.. As if we are the one who fasting hehe.. but that is okay isn’t..

That’s what we called “ 1 MALAYSIA ”.. :)

Important INFO..

I got an email today..supposed to be from my mom’s friend I think.. She sent me this one email about the H1n1 experience.. I think she was also received this email from her friend and happened to be forwarded that email to me.

I was so eager to check tht email content since the subject is “H1n1 experience”.. and as I read the email, I was like so scared.. I read the whole content, and obviously my heart felt so scared about this H1n1 virus. An Islamic Bank’s staff wrote about how his brother suffered from H1n1 and at last survived from it.

So, I invite all dear readers to take your time to read this.. It may help you to visualize how is H1n1 is like and this might be save your life..as well as your family..

This is the email..

" Some important info about H1N1…
Be carefull, stay at home. Jangan pergi tempat sesak dgn orang. Take Care of your family.
This is true story, patient was brother from Bank Islam staff.
High risk infection to person yg smooking, has atshma, children, pregnant woman

Beginner stage
Batuk, selsema, demam, sakit tekak, bila terbesin bunyi tak kuat...

Second Stage
Susah bernafas, simtom macam asthma but not asthma, at this stage if you touch the person, or breath in the same room 80% boleh kena...masa ni kena kuarantin...at hospital. Masalahnya sekarang dah ramai yg kena.. hospital tak cukup katil & bilik kuarantin...Bila u pengsan macam nak mati baru dia org admitted.macam kes adik I.

Critical
Lung infection. Bila X ray we can see the virus covered the lung. Like my brother case. Very scary bila tengok x ray tu. At this stage u need oksigen with highest level, Strongest antivral..very high drug.. At least 7 days oksigen kena bagi. % to recover depend to age, imune badan u.

That's why kalau baby atau budak2 susah nak kata...normally die. My brother hari ni genap 8 hari..still need oksigen. Kesian dia. Masa tahap critical tu tercungap2 dia bernafas, sampai menangis..Sampai satu tahap dia berguling atas simen sbb dah tak tahan...sampai dia give up ..sampai dia blh cakap lebih baik Allah ambik nyawa dia...Itu lelaki tu..imagine kalau pompuan atau budak2.

We all cuma blh tengok dia dari cermin...tak blh masuk dlm bilik kuarantin...Dr & nurse aje boleh masuh...siap pakai baju plastik. To support him, what we did bagi sms, bagi dia alquran biar dia baca so that dia tenang, bagi tasbih biar dia zikir ingat Allah & bagi Air yasin...Alhamdulillah pastu dia ok sikit.Ada hikmahnya...All the family member unite to support my brother fighting the virus.

Masalahnya hospital swasta tak terima H1N1 case, sekarang ni semua depend hospital kerajaan yg most of the doctors still young . The oldest dr in my brother ward was 28 years.. All the Otai dah pergi private. Lepas tu plak this is the first time to treat H1N1 patient. At the same time dr bz with other case as well...1 doktor 5 patient...kat gov hospital...kesian dr2 tu...berhempas pulas nak selamatkan patient. I appreciate them, mmg very appreciate dia org jaga adik i dgn baik sekali..

So far hospital Ampang is the best goverment hospital yg i jumpa..very efficient.Very quick action ..Even senior dia org dah pergi private & they don't have much experience , dia org tetap work hard give the best treatment to the patients..sampai tak balik rumah...tidor kat hospital.

Rasa nak peluk & cium dia org sebab selamatkan adik I...

Take care & be careful with H1N1. Virus tu very strong...sape kena...memang suffer nak recover...No vaksin..cuma ada antiviral & our mental warrior to fight them. Very genius virus..Can hide in our body...difficult to detect.

Only can detect thru swap which the cost is 1K above. Unable detected in blood as well. When they start action...Can kill the person if the body imune does not strong. For those have baby atau anak2, U & ur family do not go to crowded place, better wear mask when u outside from home. The vaksin will come to Msia in Nov-Dec. So far yg I nampak..hanya lelaki dewasa can fight the virus...woman might be 70% , children most probably will die.

Take care You & Your Family "

As a conclusion, don't let the H1n1 virus infection spread to you and your family..

" PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE"..
