A wedding gift from an aunt more than four decades ago. Back then it must have taken Ah Yee weeks or even months to laboriously weave together each thread to create such perfection...truly a priceless treasure for me to admire and cherish. Ah Yee is old now well into her eighties but I will always remember her young, fast, feisty and full of fire. Thank you, Ah Yee
The joy of the Lord is my strength! God, alone, gives eternal peace, joy and prosperity while the riches of the world is temporary and fleeting like chasing after wind. Joshua 24:15 "...choose for yourself whom you will serve but as for me and my household we will serve the Lord."
Blessings come in many disguises. Often we missed them because they were not packaged the way we imagined they should be! Truly we have so much to be thankful for. Puji Tuhan...
Some things take forever to happen but when they do, they are nothing short of stunning!
Dreams don't usually die a natural death! They are killed by discouragement, mockery, fear, neglect and unbelief. How sad. It's better to say, "Oh my, I really did it!' and scaled the impossible heights we were created to conquer. That, or sigh with mournful regret, "if only ..." and sink to pathetic depths, to wallow in self pity.
We are what we think all day long! Be careful what we deposit into our sub-conscious mind. Our greatest power is the capacity to choose. Therefore focus on joy, peace, harmony, unity, love, prosperity, health, longevity ...and these same desires, in time, will manifest themselves in our lives. Sleep in peace, get up in joy! Wishing all a fabulous week ahead.

They say, "Iron sharpens iron!" I believe that is true of us. They also say, "Love covers a multitude of wrongs!" I agree ... it is love...tough love...that will eventually over rule all for good. Happy Women's Day, Tai'Cheh (big sister) and to all the amazing women whose path I have the joy, honour and privilege to cross.
We are more than enough...
Thosai (Indian pancake) drowning in curry with teh tarik (pull tea) at any time of the day and night. Malaysia is still food paradise ... macam macam makanan sedap ada. (all sorts of yummy delicious local favorites are available) Yummy in my tummy ...
Just like that...twenty five years had slipped by between the time the two pictures were taken! And what a ride those two and a half decades had been! Given a chance to live that time over again, I wouldn't do life differently! Things weren't always perfect but they could be much worse. I am exactly where I should be at the here and now. Anywhere else and I would be fish out of water. Giving thanks with a grateful heart
blessed and blissful
