Oh Malaysia & A Birthday Tribute

August 30, 2006

On the shore beyond the tropical sea

You will stand to welcome me

On the shore beneath the sky so blue

All my dreams at last will come true 

Oh Malaysia, land of glory

Where I found my heart’s true love
Soon we’ll be meeting, dear Malaysia

You will be forevermore

Our National Flower – the Hibiscus

August 29, 2006

Isn’t it beautiful?
This hibiscus is from my own garden at home. I have eight different colours & breeds of hibiscus. My passion for growing hibiscus started in 2005. They are easy to grow and require very little care. So what are you waiting for?
Grow our National Flower or Bunga Raya today.
What about you, Endroo? Do you have any hibiscus growing in [...]

To Know Malaysia Is To Love Malaysia

August 27, 2006

 To know Malaysia, is to love Malaysia
People smiling everywhere
Showing you how much they care
To know Malaysia, is to love Malaysia
It’s true
This land, so beautiful
It will steal your heart away
This land is paradise
And it’s only, only a smile away
To know Malaysia, is to love Malaysia
In this land where dreams come true
Malaysia welcomes you
To know Malaysia, [...]

I’m Going to Fly a Kite!

August 25, 2006

I hope that it will be fine & windy this weekend because I’m going to buy a kite, go to the nearest open field, let out the string and let all my cares and worries go up, up, up and away.

Charles Schulz, the creator of the Peanuts comic series, once noted that the reason he drew images [...]

Give Yourself A Bouquet of Fresh Flowers

August 24, 2006

Moz did a post on Australian flowers for me and Angel . I was very touched by his gesture. I told him that it’s not everyday that I get flowers from a thoughtful friend.

Like many other ladies, I love to receive flowers, especially when there is no particular reason & that makes it even more special. [...]

Faults

August 23, 2006

I have something that is totally unique: my own faults. Everyone has faults, but they are not like mine. Mine are tailor made. They fit my personality. They may reflect my family tree, my home, or my neighbourhood. But they have my name on them.
I am never afraid to admit it when I am wrong. I feel [...]

Little Manhattan

August 22, 2006

 
When I started my blog, it was never in my intention to write a movie review but Little Manhattan is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Hence, I want everyone to discover this film. Beautifully made and acted, this is a film for the entire family. It was released in [...]

Start Something & Finish It

August 21, 2006

“There!” and “Whew!” are two of the most satisfying exclamations in the English language, especially when they punctuate the completion of a difficult task. Bringing a project or chore to completion  evokes feelings of satisfaction, relief, and inner pride.
Procrastination, on the other hand, is like a gray cloud that hangs over everything you do and [...]

Stop & Smell the Coffee

August 18, 2006

What’s on your list for Saturday? Run some errands? Household chores? Groceries shopping? Weekends can be just as busy as workdays – sometimes even more so.
Don’t forget to do something important for yourself this weekend – nothing. That’s what I’ll be doing.
I will take some time to relax and simply enjoy doing nothing. I will [...]

Each Step Counts

August 17, 2006

 
Many runners lose a race – not by long distance – but by a few steps.

Many students fail in exams – just by a few marks.

Many couples fail in relationships owing to small differences.
Thus, there are no little things. Each step counts – whether one considers it big or small. Only people who take care [...]
