Swine Flu

Omigosh..one after another my family member have a flu symptom, fever and cough. I started to think..Swine Flu???? Cant remember going overseas at all hahahaha.

Then something strike!!!!Omigosh....my maid arrived from Indonesia last week, and she caught a cold , cough, runny nose, headache and what not a couple of days ago. Oh...no...hope nothing serious. Tonite my eldest boy got really bad, his eyes as red as ruby, his face pale, he can hardly walk. My gurl has been on MC from school for the past two days, my youngest boy started to have temperature. Un huh.....better do something...and do it quick!!!

So tonite I took them all to the Emergency & Accident at the General Hospital for checkup. I had a check up as well. The problem wiv us human...when we worry, our BP goes up and so was mine, read at 141/61 and 91 pulse rate...uhhh

We were then referred to Room 3 for a thorough check up by the doctors. What a relief!!!!Seems everything was ok, except my eldest had to have IV and blood taken for further test...just to make sure it isnt the Dengue Fever. I had to leave him at the hospital and took the other three home. By the time I am writing this, my eldest still at the hospital waiting for the blood test result. I will go and have a check on him later.

Thank God, everything is fine, just the normal viral fever and antibiotic should take care of it.

So I said stay away Swine Flu.....

Good Friends

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by doubling of our joy and dividing of our grief..........(cicero)

What is friend? It is someone who knows your faults and still sees the divine in you. A friend will love you despite your imperfections. A friend is someone who is there for you when you have the courage to ask for help. A friend is also someone who can say no to you and still remain friend.

A friend points out your imperfections, not to blame you for them but to help you become better at what you are doing, just as a coach would talk to an athlete. A friend always answers your calls even when you are driving them crazy.

A friend never talks about who is right but rather listens to how you are feeling. A friend will not judge without taking the time to understand and can forgive, let go of the past, and continue to love. Probably the most important thing a friend does is never to abandon you, no matter what you do.

Do something to acknowledge a good friend today and remember to be one as well.

What a day!!! Read from the bottom, thats how I felt today

And at the end of the day I felt like Ive eaten for a week, maybe put on 3 kg hahahaha and need to fast to get rid of all the fat. I need to fast M, even if you keep asking me to eat...lol.............I see said the blind man hehehehehe.

And voila the last meal of the day, STEAMBOAT......thanx Dr Nurrul and Dato Wahab for making me fat...hhahahahahaha.....thank you daun keladi......next gaji belanja lagi...(((Gurl in purple is Dr Nurrul and Dato Wahab enjoying steamboat wiv my boy Izzat (btw that Dato also belongs to him by right, we already have 10 grandchildrens who call us Tok n Nek ***grandpa n grandma***(our sister's n brother's grandkids) so he is a Datok alright!!!)))

So that day all four cars (12 of us) 'ambushed' Secret Recipe (I wonder how much poorer we made Dr Nurrul ) then off to the park for a stroll at a very odd hours. A few people (mostly young dating couples) must be wondering what are these people in traditional clothes doing at the park at this hour??? Well, let them wonder....what people think of us is non of our business. Hahahaha

Saturday went to a family wedding. OMG!!!I dont believed the number of guest invited. There seem to have nobody to look after the food, the plates, the glasses, etc. After a long wait and washed the glasses for the kids (first wedding I went to have washed the glass myself..hahahaha, pahala tau) there came the food..but still no plate. After another wait, there came the plates. Get some food and try to eat...ooppssyy daisy, I cant, something wrong wiv the food. The rice too dry, the meat kinda..mmmm..no need to say, the chicken was hard, no veg..and bla bla bla...blimey. Then came the rescue, Dr Nurrul announced that we were going to Secret Recipe, to eat...and the kids went...yeahhhhhh!!!!!Then another BIG yeahhhh when Dato Wahab (my youngest brother, we gave him the title Dato...coz of his continuous and untiring services to the kampung people) said..."and tonite, steamboat is on me" ( and for M, I hope you still remember what steamboat is. You made me laugh when you asked me "You ate a steamboat??" I can imagined what you imagined M..lol..

To my foreign frens, steamboat is simply a pot of boiling soup in the middle of the dining table wiv all the raw meat, fish, veg, seafood, egg etc. All we have to do is to put them to boil and eat them wiv soy sauce, chilly sauce and virgin oil (damnnn me for not taking the pic...next time hopefully) That's what it's all about. Nothing fancy...hahahaha ( I still smile thinking of what you were thinking M )

My maid's here at last. Thank God after such a long delay...and weekends as usual at mum's house. Ermmm this weekend was fun, two sisters from KL came back meaning my kids got their cousins to muck around. We brothers and sister??? what else blab and blab and more blab.

Wow!!!! that's the word that came from my mouth when I realized that it has been 6 days since my last entry. Where was I??? Where have the days gone to???Holy God...maybe I was too busy counting the stars that I dont seem to realize the days passed by.

Acceptance (dedicated to my dear M)

This morning I received a call from someone on the other side of the world. He told me that he might lose a friend of his after nearly two decades. The reason and only reason was that he is tired of being corrected. It is a sad ending if it happens. So, take a hint from this, stop condemning, criticising, correcting our dear one...just accept them for who they are and enjoy life without these hassle. Noone is perfect. Maybe by doing that our life will be more colourful and meaningful.

What is truly lasting?? Polar ice melts. The ozone layer shrinks. A relationship ends. Your family or friends act differently for no apparent reason. So what can we rely on? There is only one thing........CHANGE. Change is the one constant that is ever present.

On a personal level, we do have choices about how we change. But the rest of the universe is not under our control. All of the universes, including ours, are like portions of God's canvas. They are constantly being worked and reworked. The Creator must have his or her reasons, and hopefully we will understand them someday.

Understanding wont eliminate change. But acceptance of this truth will enable us to live a more peaceful state. When we dont resist change, we flow with the process of creation and help make it a true work of art.

Could I Have This Kiss Forever (Duet With Enrique Iglesias) – Whitney Houston Music Code

This Story Touched Me Deep

ADog's Purpose(from a 6-year-old).
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, 'I know why.'
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, 'People are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?' The Six-year-old continued, 'Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around andwag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
