.....Remembering Malaysia's 59th Birthday.....

 

 

 

Today, the 31st of August 2016, our beloved nation Malaysia, turns 59. It is indeed something to be very proud of, because we have come a long way since we freed ourselves from the clutches of the western 'penjajah' or colonialists. Our independence is really something to be savoured, respected and guarded. We must never for one moment, rest on our laurels or be complacent. Our multi-racial and multi-religious society should at all times, work together to preserve our hard earned peace and prosperity. We should all embrace the 'Sehati Sejiwa' spirit. Yes! Malaysia Boleh!

  

.....Remembering My 67th Birthday.....

Thursday, 4.8.2016 was my very special day. On that day, I turned a year older. Six score and seven years ago, (4.8.1949) I was born in Batu Pahat, Johor. Since my very early childhood days, I've lived a life filled with many memories, both good and bad. My adolescent years were great; my teenaged years and my years as a young adult were even greater. My adult life however, has not been rosy and my golden years to date, have been interspersed with several chronic health issues. Nonetheless, I'm taking everything in a stride and living life, one day at a time. This 'Golden Girl' has hospitals/health clinics and a multitude of medications as her best buddies now. Despite everything, I always tell myself to remain positive and to treat all my health problems as blessings from Allah SWT. In short, I am strong but I am really, really tired!
