A beautiful saying...

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, (protecting its sanity), covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens.

But, it is never gone."

~Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy~

my mom...

May is a wonderful month. It's not only a month to celebrate Mother's Day but also a month for my sister and I celebrate our mother's birthday. I've always been closer to dad...maybe for being the eldest in the family but mom taught me a lot in life about LIFE...

I still remember my childhood and how mom (a housewife) run the family with dad's small wage. We stayed in a rural area surrounded by jungle with few neighbours. We had no electricity or water facility. Mom used to pump the "gas light" at 6.30 pm everyday and dad would fetch clean water at a market using his old cycle. We also had a well. At nights we're entertained by the cricket and frogs orchestra. No matter how poor we were...we never felt that. Because my parents showered us with so much LOVE. Thinking back, some would call ours a helluva childhood but i cherish it as the BEST. Eating under the moonlight was one great experience i had.

Mom was a strong women. She stayed home looking after her two children when her hubby works hard for the money. She made sure we had everything even when it means she don't have anything for herself. Mom was great. As i grew...i remember there were several times when i was being a jerk. I was rude to mom and treated her bad. Thank god i realized my mistakes soon and regreted everything I've done. I saw how blessed i was and hated myself for being the bad daughter. Now, i am doing everything i can to make my mom happy. After losing dad to cancer in 2004, my sis helped me in various ways to care for mum as I took over the role of dad. I learned a lot from my sister. She was younger than me but her strength was unbelieveable. Maybe she got it from mom.

Mom taught me of confidence, strength to achive the dream and love. I learned from the BEST. She's a living proof that nobody should use poverty as an excuse to stop living. Watching "Bersamamu" on Tv3...I smiled to myself..we've been in worst situation yet mom managed to make the best memories for us to cherish a lifetime. So...here's to you Amma...

Mom,

there are so many moments

when I wish you knew...

how much you matter to me,

and how much I thank you

for being such a wonderful mother

If there is happiness in my heart,

it's because you helped put it there.

If there is gentleness in my beliefs,

it's because you showed me how to care.

If there is understanding in my thinking,

it's because you shared your wisdom.

If there is a rainbow over my shoulder,

it's because of your outlook and your vision.

If there is a knowledge that I can reach out and

I really can make some dreams come true,

it's because I learned from the best teacher of all.

I learned... from you...

In the times of my life,

whether weare near or far,

please remember Mom,

that there could never be any mother

more wonderful...than the one you are..

Thank You Mom

Happy Mother's Day & Happy Birthday :)

I Love You Very Much

Thank You

Recently I was involved in arranging a programme for my division. During the time one of the staff came up to me and said "thank you, for arranging this programme. I'm happy to be here". It was a great compliment for me even tough it was merely few words uttered. My boss didn't say anything and i was not the least worried. Many were complaining that the service provided by the particular venue was not up to their satisfaction. Me, on the other hand turn deaf ears to all the criticism and kept making sure everything went well. At the end of the programme, a few came up and said thank you. Well..it felt good to be appreciated.

Saying "Thank You" is not always easy for everybody. Saying it with a smile is the best impression to give for someone who cares about you. When you received a gift ,you will not turn down your head and turn back, then decided to say the words "Thank You". Or saying the words without any facial expressions that what you say is real. Did you notice that some people hates to express gratitude but they are obligated to do it ,just to try to be nice or pretend that they like you or they like what you give and you can clearly see the facial expression to this person. His/her face does not coordinates the words she/he said. Thank you is free and pleasant to hear ,why can't you express it with your heart. Fake thank you are visible to your heart. You can tell the way the words uttered. Sweet thank you is priceless and genuine.Stop pretending to be nice ,be honest rather giving a fake smile. Some people will say,hmmmmm!!! wait a minute, is this gift worth to say "Thank You?" I would say that even if you do not like what you get but giving it to you with hearts are worth than having the things you like and given by a pretender. I rather happy with your gift if you give it to me heartily even if I do not like it. And you give me the gift that I really like the best but the way you give it is not genuine feelings. I go for the emotion when you hand me your gifts than looking of what is it you are giving. I say Thank You with respect and kind hearted.

Thank you ...for reading this :)
