10 YEARS AGO, TODAY

In loving memory....of 

Mother

Mother, just a few months before she went home to the Lord..

Mother at around 19 or 20..

What a lovely dress..

..the yellow exora.. Mother's fav flower.  

 If  the Yellow Exora grow in Heaven Lord

Then pick a bunch for us

 Then place them in our mother’s arms

And tell her they’re from us

Tell her that we love and miss her

And when she turns to smile,

Place a kiss upon her cheek and

Hold her for awhile..

Till we meet again someday

We will hold on to the memories..

''purr miaw... I want that fish'  Kitty seems to say. Nobody  is listening ..lol


This sight reminds me of my Mom.. She simply loved the weekly market or we call it 'Tamu'.  Here she gets to meet friends and share gossips while chewing the sireh leaves with the necessary 'ingredients'.

KADAZANDUSUN BEAUTIES WHO SMILED FOR ME.....

One day at a time...

Feels like, I am sailing in the middle of the wide open sea.. I am sailing alone into the wind and the dark. I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full......but for how long more.... I don't know....

Grant me oh Lord, the serenity 

to accept the things I cannot change; 

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; 

Enjoying one moment at a time; 

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; 

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, 
not as I would have it....
