A joy forever..

On 2011 November 26th-28th we had another great time getting together. Our most caring and loving sister Alice from Telok Intan finally decided to meet up in Kuala Lumpur for 3 days 2 nights. She had choosen The Gardens Hotel to be our meeting place. This Hotel is linked to a shopping "Heaven" with so much to do. It is a very convenient place to stay with everything you need in one spot. We throughly enjoyed ourselves, and I am so proud of the many random acts of kindness being express among each other. Now I am looking forward to M O R E Fun & Joy. Big THANK to Alice, Suzanne, Bryan and Jamie for all the good job. Thank You!

all about Maids

Indonesia has banned its citizen from working in Malyasia as maids due to horrific reports of beatings and ill treating. Today, Cambodia has also imposed a temporary ban on sending domestic worker to Malaysia due to the numerous complaints of abuse.

It is not easy to hire a good maid, but feel that all the new maids who come to work with their employer during the first to the third month can never fulfil the requirements of the employer. Therefore during this period, the employer has to be patience with them. Do not shout or punish them, by doing this they may be "FEAR" and will not give you a good job.

I have maids for many years, I dedinitely think that they should be treated well. They are human too. I would encourage anyone with a maid to treat and respect them, view them as "part of the family". As long as they doing their job properly, we should not treat them badly. (Now I am having two house hold keeper in my house and they are happy working with me.)

We Only Young Once

I am in my 60's now and I have crossed several milestones, but life keep looking for more challenges. When I was young I thought 60 was so old, but now I realize it is not what I thought. I would like to say to all my love ones and anyone in their 20's or 30's. - Try to do what you want to do while you still got the energy, make the most of your youth, but don't above other in the process. You have so much ahead of you, so much to learn about life, people and the way the world functions. Always treat others the way you like to be treated. Try your best at everything and don't be disappointed when things does't work out.

As for me today, although I am not a "Lady of Fame" or a world traveller, but I believe my life so far has been meaningful and exciting. I know who I truely am. I have also learned who are my true friends and who are the one closes to me. Something I cannot denial in my life.....there have been moments which made me cry and moments which made me laugh, but I look forward with no regrets. Today I will enjoy the bliss of stay and the fruit of my labour.

I am thankful for all the moments I get with my family, (my wonderful children, my daughter & son in-law, my grandchildren and all my loving and caring brothers and sisters). You all are the one who make me a better person.

We miss him too. Regarding Isabelle she is with me since birth. She will be 2 yrs old on Sat 9th. She is a very mischevous little girl full of "ENERGY", unless she is eatting or sleeping. Now she understands every words we say. You will be suprised to hear some words which you never expected her knowing. She is her papa's little darling - he is amazingly patient and affectionate with her. Even though he's tired after work, he tries to spend time talking to and playing with her............!!
