Daughter

My parents has two daughters. Today I am going to share with you my journey which I made with my parents since the day that I was born . As far as I can remember , I am the youngest in my family .The average one.




My life as I remember it as a child was a fun one .I could say that I played a lot when I was growing up and for that I thank my parents for encouraging us to explore within our means and safe surroundings.




Fast forward 30 years, my sister is married with two grown up children and one very happy family . As for me, I decided to stay put with my parents and look out for them ... it has been a wonderful journey.As I grew older, I try to be a good daughter to my parents . I heed whatever advice they give to me and I try to make up for lost time by spending as much time as I can with them.




I do the normal daughter things with my parents. Going out or hanging out with friends is something that I do enjoy but nothing beats that one moment spending time with my parents . Back to the daughter things that I do is; lend a ear to them. For example, I never fail to ask them how was their day was even though, I know that most of the time, they are at home.


When I spend time with my parents, I usually look forward to the small little outings that we take together and one of them is, when we go out to get things for the house. To most of you, you may say that an outing like that is quite common and is no big deal. To them and me, it means a lot . 


It means to us, that we can just enjoy the day with just us be us. No pressure, just a simple day, an outing or and activity done together with my parents. It does not have to be an expensive outing, just being with them makes my day.




Now that my parents are older, they like to take life easy . With nothing to worry, they enjoy a game of cards together. Each time when I go off to work, my mum would bless me.When I arrive to work, after parking the car, the first thing I would do is to call them up to say that I have arrived safely.




Going back home , I would call them and tell them that I am on my way home. As I reach home and park the car, I'd honk and my dad would be at the window waving out to me . 


It's what we o every morning and we never get bored doing it ..the same routine over and over again and I will be doing it for many more years to come . I have enjoyed my childhood and for that I am thankful to my parents ..Thanks mum and dad .

Get to YOu

I would not have thought how I usually allow little things get to me .I used to think that I was quite unusual for my family, perhaps a little odd ? I don't know. By the time I hit pre-teen, it got worse. I kept so often to myself and the friends that I made in school, are the ones that I have kept in touch with till today .




School life was pretty alright for me , with friends here and there it was just okay. I remember at one point of my life , I just thought that I did not deserve any better and I kept myself away from so many things.


I just shut down. I only moved for ME. Maybe I was selfish then. I was not popular in school but I had friends who enjoyed my company .




I remember, I closed my mind to a lot of things and getting over them was not easy. I guess I prayed a lot. After that things got a little better for me and I found stability in whatever I wanted to do.


I wised up, still hanging on, I plodded along .My life is alright and I am not afraid like I used to be. I take one day at a time. 


Now, I rive to work, make sure I have a good day. Teach my students well. Stay happy and positive as much as I can .




Is there any room for improvement in my life ?


Yes , Yes and Yes .

For This I .....

Today was just a normal day for me, I was thinking about my bed !! That was because someone said that whenever he went on long holidays, he thought of his bed and how he missed it.


The rest of the day,I was quite busy with work and I promised myself that I would never talk and blog about work ..So each time if I happen to mention the word work, I will drink 2 glasses of water..


To which I still have not ....


Lest to say I would drink by the end of this post . Today, and and for any other days, I usually have a quiet evening .I spend my time reading ..I refuse to say that I log onto Facebook .Yes, I do ..but I like the fact that I can put some time aside to read .


So what else could a girl ask for ?


Come to think of it , I could ask for a lot . For now, I am satisfied with what I have ..the smallest things count the most and for that,I am truly blessed ...

Sugar .. Aww Honey Honey !!!

Yup, as the song goes, you're my candy girl!! Well, not so candy now are we!! 


It all started on a cheerful Saturday morning. Out of the blue, my mum wanted to go for her regular pressure check up.So we took her . Mind you for the past few months, my mum was telling us how much she would sweat when she mops the floor.


Dad and I, yeah, we heard her more like a gazillion times over and over and we were thinking , okay, if she says that she sweats then all good . I would think of it as a good workout for her.


Went we did to the clinic and with one look, the doctor asked her why was she sweating, and confidently she said ..weather ..yeah blame in on the weather!!!!


MY mum was her usual chatty self when the doctor announced that she was going to check her sugar level .... it was 2.7 ..that's low ..how low can you go mum ?


Homework for the day and for life , take loads of sugar , bake cakes if you want to ...sugar level has to go up !!! Me being me as their daughter and her daughter ..have found a solution that is ...


IF HER SUGAR LEVEL DOES NOT GO DOWN, WELL... SHE COULD HAVE A ONE WEEK STAY AT A VERY FAMOUS HOTEL/HOSPITAL TILL HER SUGAR LEVEL GOES UP !!!!


I mean hey, that is her call..as for me the ball is so in my court ...Of course mum is not too pleased with me but she knows how I love her so ... she'll get it up you see..


In the mean time as I look at dad, he goes wink, wink  !!!!!
Yup, dad careful you are treading on egg shells here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dad , Me and Nasi Lemak

Let's start with me first .I just don't know why that is, in a week, I have to get my hands on a packet of nasi lemak . I guess it is the comfort food for all Malaysians.


Every Sunday, after mass, I would pop into the cafeteria and get a packet of nasi lemak before I head home. As I get home , and change into my thread bear t- shirt , I sit and unpack the packet of nasi lemak and dig in . It is what I always look forward to each Sunday .




I just can't say why but I just have to have it . It's like a drug an it cannot be compared to anything at all in the whole wide world .


Today was one such occasion. I took my dad to the hospital and I will tell you this, nasi lemak is good for family bonding , father and daughter time together and as well as mother and daughter time together.


Right, back to the story . I was at the hospital with my dad today, and we felt kinda hungry so we went up to the cafeteria ..lo and behold ..there were a lot to choose from . We were spoilt for choice there were nyonya kuihs , noodles and of course nasi lemak ..


We each took a packet of nasi lemak and sat down to eat . The silence between us, said it all. What I like about eating with my dad is, at the end of our meal , we talk about the aromatic rice right up to the ikan bilis ..you could say the works . Each time, when I have the time to go out with my dad, we end up eating !!!!


Now at this point I would like to say that having a meal with my mother can be nice too. Being a goo cook herself, we talk cake, cupcakes, food , food and more food .I guess she just enjoys cooking and as her daughters , we seem to follow in that path .


Nasi Lemak , I gotta tell you one thing though , you make my day complete. Complete to the T..I ain't gonna ever give you up . 

The Rat

Once there was a rat that lived in a house . This was no ordinary rat . The rat would wait for all of the people in the house to sleep and then as they say the party began....


It was one summer night that the rat decided to have a bonfire night . He thought how nice it would be if could invite all of his friends for the bonfire.


After thinking hard , he had an idea . An idea of a life time . He took a trip to Paris, to find his cousin Louie ... and together they made their way to find the finest fire to light the bonfire.


It was not an easy task as they had to search hard for this special fire. They had almost given up when they had another idea . They decided to travel to China to find the fire. Just maybe, they would get lucky over there. When they got there, everything was dark .The people in China had no light to offer them.


Without much luck they decided to head home. You see , everything was set , a bonfire was to be held but there was no fire. So one of the mice, ran into the kitchen and brought out a matchbox. They helped the little mice to light the bonfire. The flames were majestic and bright . And so they say , the matchbox saved the day .

MY Clouded View...

My clouded view is so clouded that I do not know what hit me in the face, I stared and went by everyday without knowing, Splatt !!! it goes, without much of a word, I was warned and it went by, It got worst to a point even the Green Lady could not help me, I was on my knees pleading , And all she could do was cackle in every bit of a way, It does not make sense I thought for sure I was a goner, What do I do ? My view was clouded with flames of blue, silver and gold, I called out to the Sisters of The Tree, It was all in vain, A pure light, There in the hall, I reached for it, A hand saved me.

Spring and so they say is here .

And so they say that spring is here ..what comes to my mind are colorful chicks . Why ? I guess I had a thing for chicks.They just look adorable. Anyway, I was thinking of closing my blog since I do not have the time to blog but as I looked at all of the posts that I posted , I just would not want it to go to waste . Besides, it was and will be my journey ..for me this time .I used to blog about children and how they effected me as a teacher but somehow in the long run, I no longer felt that was what I wanted to blog on ...perhaps I should just blog about other stuff or maybe blog about something that is very close to my heart ME ..now that is shellfish !!!! With me being in a new school, everything is coming up roses. I have begun a new journey an exciting one I must say . I am wonderfully embracing every spring flower that I can grasp. I am blessed and I am in a company of positive people .Even when there are ups and downs, I seem to manage quite well .I hope that whatever I may face, I will face it with courage and I know that tomorrow will be another new day for me .
