18th July 2023. My last posting was last year, and infact such a long break since year 2016. I started to blog in year 2008 when Alistair was only 13 years old and Megan was only 10 yrs old. How time flies. And even the social media has evolved, too many online platforms available to access. Latest update would be, both of my children have graduated few years back and is now currently working in the field of their chosen career.

Both are now working in Kuala Lumpur, but often comes home too. From the year 2016 to now, there is so many things had happened (both happy and sadness). We lose some our loved ones too, and add some new family including Kayla, my grandniece. Alistair himself had got engaged to the love of his life and intending to get married by end of this year.

last year Dec 2022, I graduated from my 2nd Master, Master in Psychology Counseling, UMS that equips me with license to practise as Counselor Psychology. It was quite tough studying during the pandemic Covid19 but it did not dampened my spirit and passion. I graduated on time with flying colours of result too. This is me in my graduation robe.

As for my hubby, he will be signing off from his office desk somewhere next year (if his contract is not renewed). Well its good for him though, time to relax and just enjoy his time since both of our children are grown up and working on their own. I still have about 3 years more to go before I too signed off from my office work. BUt let see how things flows. I could opt to retire early should I feel that I dont need to wait till my pension date. I am looking forward to spend days that I dont have to clock in every morning. I have so many plans and things to do. Last few years too, I have travelled with my hubby and friends to various country. Will share in my next posting. Indeed life is good. Now looking forward for Alistair to settle down soon, and maybe... next will be his sister. But Megan is an ambitious person and maybe she want to expand her career first before settling down. Whichever it is, we are okay. Its their life, so we let them decide. My only hope is that Alistair and Megan will be able to sail through this life easily. There will be hurdles and challenges, but that is life. Most important, we had provide all the tools and wings for them to be able to fly freely and independent. God bless always my children wherever and whatever they intend to do.

Updates from Year 2017-Year 2022.

Poor me. I forgot that I have a blog. And I forgot to update it consistently. Its not that nothing interesting happened throughout the years, infact so many, many things had happened till I just do not have the time to write here. Again, I think it is just a lame excuse, I got distracted perhaps. So, since I started this blog way back in year 2008, I will try to update here again about my thoughts and hope. Here my picture with Megan, our trip to Melaka in July 2017.

Crucial Year 2012 for Alistair

Year 2012 was considered to be a crucial time for Alistair. Because he will be in Form 5 and would be sitting for his SPM Examination. But I have a deep faith in him because I know he is a hard working student and always do well in his semester exams. Infact, while in Form 4, he knows already what field he will venture in his career and even which University he wanna join. By having knowledge, he knows which subject he needs to excel. On top of that, Alistair is also vrry active in the curriculum and love to participate in any competition. In this way, he acquires great experience in many activities and getting to know new friends along the way. Alistair is a friendly person and connects well with other students. During his preparation for his SPM examination, he does not needed much push. He studied in his own time and space. We only provide him all the support especially reference books and tuition. He also knows when to rest and play. Quietly, observing him from far, I know he will do well in his final exam. Come March 2013, when he went back to his school to collect his SPM Result, I was so so happy when he called me and told me about his,flying colors result. As expected, he got 3A+,6A and 1B. To me and his dad, that result was damn good. We are thankful that his effort was paid well. And onward, when he applies for his favourite course in Engineering, the offers come handy. Today, Alistair is a proud 2nd year Civil Engineering Student at University Teknologi Petronas.

How Time Flies

The blog is quite good in reminding me that the last time I blog was year 2013! Really! I know I have done a lot of things for the past 2 -3 years but somehow I just forgot to update it here in my blog. Poor me. Not a very good excuse either. Would it be okay if I slowly revisit year 2013-2015? Because I have a lot of things to share. One thing for sure, I just celebrated my 49th birthday on the 2nd March 2016. Well, my thoughts and hope is that I will have the courage to keep on writing here in this blog which I have created many years ago. It is just not fair for the blogspot to provide me space to blog and yet am not taking the opportunity to write.

My last posting here was on August 3rd 2011. I guess after the death of my late papa on the 28th August 2011, I have discarded my interest in blogging. But what scares me most is that its been more than 2 years already which actually reminded me that time passed by so fast. Indeed a lot of things happen during those 2 years and I do hope to be able to refresh my memory and to revisit the remaining year 2011 and year 2012.

Life is a Gift

Life Is a Gift

Today
before I say an unkind word - I must think of someone who can't speak.

Before
I complain about the taste of my food - I must think of someone
who has nothing to eat..

Before
I complain about my husband - I must think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.


Today
before I complain about life - I must think of someone who died
too early on this earth.


Before
I complain about my children - I must think of someone who
desires children but they're barren...

Before
I argue about my dirty house someone didn't clean or
sweep - I must think of the people who are living in the streets.


Before
I start whining about the distance I drive, I must think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.

And when
I am tired and complain about my job - I must think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had my
job.


But
before I think of pointing the finger or condemning
another - I must remember that not one of us is without sin.


And when
depressing thoughts seem to get me down - I must put a smile on
my face and think: I am alive and still
around.

Can you define the meaning of 'Meritrocracy"?

Meritrocracy?

What the heck is this word? Do you really understand the meaning of this word? Because if you do, then you would be very careful with the action that you intend to do in order to justify your statement. Sad to say, it is always easy said then done. I would say it is only said for the sake of 'lip service'. Yuckss... I feel like vomitting everytime this word is said. Are you aware that not everyone are stupid? Expecting people to just accept whatever you say. I know.. you thought that with the power you are holding now, you can just do whatever you like, for the moment yes. But nothing last forever in this world. Well, never mind, it is just luck that you are in the position to act in such away. Luckily, I have accepted that fact. At least I do not feel that bad because I know there are many crooked people like you. I am not alone definitely. But I do hope that one day, there will be time for you to feel how I feel. But this time, you will be alone and on your own. That will make a lot of differences. In the mean time, I will enjoy my life as and when I like. I will give according to what is given to me. It will be on one to one basis. I wish you luck in your endeavour to suppress people showing off your authority and power forgetting that nothing last in this world.
