Soft Toys
I’m teaching granny how to name some of my soft toys. From the left is the white rabbit, next are the Barney twins, follow by Ribenna Berry, Whats-Its-Name-Deer, Winnie the Pooh, and oops, where’s my favourite Roo the kangaroo?

A story worth sharing
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage.They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes.
When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.
He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard.
His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all.
It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages.
When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital. He died.
The mother was stunned. She was terrified how she was going to face her husband.
When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words, "I am with you Darling".
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead.
He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child.What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.
>>> MORAL OF THE STORY
>>>This story is really worth reading. Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.
Have a Blessed Christmas and New Year 2007 .....

Poh Poh & I at Pangkor Dutchfort
Teluk Nipah of Pangkor Island
My first encounter with the waves at the seaside… The sound and sight of the wave is beautiful. But it’s a weird feeling with my feet sinking into the sand the waves hit the shore... Papa said this natural beauty which money can't buy, you have to love and preserve it to enjoy it. I certainly wish this pretty sight would remain till the end of time...
