.....Sigh!.....

 

 

As a person who has been blessed with several health issues, I do admit that I have to be patient and gentle with myself, albeit it has been very difficult most times. At one time or another, I have found myself to be at the brink of hopelessness.....sad to say.

 

 

 

 

Feeling sad!

 

Feeling awful!

                                                           Feeling rotten!

 

 

 

 

Feeling bored!



  Boo Hoo Hoo!

SIGH!

.....My Hobby - Sewing My Original Craft Masterpieces.....

 

 

 

Ever since my school days, I have always loved sewing and doing craft work. Needless to say, needlework was one of the optional subjects  I took for my SC/MCE examination in  1967.  During my secondary school years, I had already taken orders to  sew pretty smocking dresses for a couple of my teachers, namely Mrs Yolanda Parry and Mrs Sudhakaran. I have found sewing and craft making to be very good therapy for me. They are very calming, that's for sure. Hence, I'd love to share some of my original 'masterpieces' which I have produced within the last couple of years and of late.....Slowly but surely, I'll be building up my collection.....

      Colourful aprons

 

 

                                                                                 

                                                                    A tote bag

                      A patchwork bedspread

                   A hand-stitched fabric tote bag

Many Happy Returns Of The Day To Me!

 

 

 

 

My winsome smile, despite everything!

 

 

Cutting my birthday cake

(which is definitely too sweet for me!)



Nonetheless, Syukur Alhamdulillah.....Ameen.....

.....Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri 2015/1436H.....

 

 

It's that time of year again, for Muslims all over the world, to celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Fitri/Eid Mobarak. This year the festival falls on Friday, 17.07.2015. It's the same for this household, albeit it'll be a low-key affair, as always. Yours truly especially, who is bugged with multiple health issues, is forever 'not in the mood' to celebrate. Nonetheless, a little preparation, 'attirewise' and 'foodwise' is being made.....just to go with the flow, so to speak. I really find it bothersome to do things according to the norm, but then.....I really don't have a choice, do I? 

 

 

 

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.....Maaf Zahir Batin, people!.....{sigh}

.....Silence Is Not Golden.....

There's an old saying which says that Silence Is Golden. But for me, silence is heart-wrenching and it's definitely not golden! I just wish to share my sadness with regards to the silent spells, which are on-going, between me and my surviving siblings, save for my third sibling, Roybelle, who's residing in Taree, NSW, Australia. We've been keeping in touch via email, SMSs and phone calls.

ROYBELLE

.....February 14th 2015.....

February 14th is a very special date in the Gregorian Calendar. It's Valentine's Day, and this day is celebrated annually by 'lovers', the whole world over. But for yours truly, it's just like any other day.....so mundane.....so boring! In actual fact, I woke up this morning with an extremely heavy heart. Stress has always been my middle name. So, what else is new, eh?

.....Keeping tabs.....

I've been having health issues since Friday, 26.06.2009. Since then, I've been keeping tabs on all the very important dates and 'events', so to speak. The following photos, depicting the relevant records are self-explanatory, I reckon. It will be almost six years since I have been blessed with these two special gifts from The Almighty.....the first in 2009, and the second in 2013.  I've done my level best to cope with the related treatments and follow-up reviews for both conditions, and never a day passes by, without me feeling downright grateful for having been given this new lease of life. Syukur Alhamdulillah. Ameen.....
