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............!!

Losing A loved One

On 20th May 2011, we lost our sister-in-law Lucy to cancer. She was only 49. Over the years, I had friends and relatives who have been diagnosed with the disease, but she was the only one who succumbed to it at a relatively young age. Lucy was the youngest in-law in our family. She stayed with our parent in Cameron Highlands when they were alive. She was a kind, joyful and helpful person who just don't know how to say NO.......!! Except to Cancer.

After she was diagnosed with it, she went through all necessary operations to fight it off. Unfortunately her cancer cells was too "Fierce". She left us even the most expensive and up to date drugs for cancer could not save her life.

Sweet Memories.......year 2009 with Lucy in Telok Intan

Time Together

Getting together is something that all of us look forward to. We rerely get a chance to sit down and enjoy the fun with our brothers and sisters. Last week our loving and caring sister Alice invited us to Telok Intan for a luncheon organized by her company. Our two brothers were not invited as we knew that they had some thing on.

To arrange a get together is an exciting and also one which involves alot of hard work. It can be very demanding and taxing job. We started with some arguement (disagreement) before the meeting. Things were solved very quickly with no prejudice. Everyone of us enjoyed the fun and memorable gathering. THANKS to our caring sister Alice........!! Now thinking of 828 to go or not to go???

An Unforgetable Experience

It was 18th last month my sister and I joined a 5 days 4 nights tour to Hanoi / Halong in Vietnam. On arrival we were transfer to the hotel in Hanoi and we stayed there for a night. The next morning, after breadfast we had a four hour journey (by coach) to Halong for two nights. On the second night in Halong I was awaken by......... I heard some noise in the room. When I opened my eyes the TV was on. I thought it was my sister who switched on the TV, but she was sound asleep when I looked at her. Without hesitation I switched off the TV. I was so pissed that I can't sleep because of that, trying to figure out why things happened.

After half an hour or so, something weired happened again I could hear some noise, within second the lights in our room switched off and on for many times. I quickly jumped over to my sister's bed and told her that I wanted to sleep with her. When she started to talk to me all the lights went off, things happened very fast, again the lights as well as the TV were switched on again.
I asked my sister softly weather I should switch off the TV. She told me "OFF IT LA" I tried many times to off it but I can't. I was so nervous at that moment, luckly my sister was brave. She tried to talk loudly to me by making noise and the TV was switched off finally.

I don't expect everyone to believe.........Because I know this is very impossible. I am just wondering does anyone know something like this, OR do you believe ghost exist? Due to this weired happening, I think this was one of my most unjoyable trip that I had............!!

Family To Me!!

Nowadays, finding time together with family is difficult. So.. time with the family can be together is rare. I strongly think that FAMILY is important to everyone in the world. It is about who you care about and is not whose blood you are. Family love is the strongest type because it is unconditional. This unconditional love means that no matter what happens, the family will still love you.

I am at my 60's now, which I have no reason to say I am busy. I guess I would say it is important for all the family members to meet and talk to one another. I also think that it can be a good idea to plan for a family schedule, so that the whole family can plan for a round table chat once every three monthly or half yearly(mainly to my brothers and sisters.)


Time together with family is very important. Money can't buy back lost time. As each day passes, it is lost and we can never get it back. I hope my two sisters staying nearby agree with me and we can visit each other more often. We can be very healthy today, but we cannot foretell our future...............!! I strongly support my son Dr Soong for taking 18 months leave to join the family in Paris. Congratulations!! I hope you have a fantastic life with the family. (one piece of advice: Never end up the day angry with each other.)

My beloved family members on
