Tomorrow's Tsunami

Mama, are you sad ma? Two of my angels asked. No, I answered, why should I? I have no reasons to be sad. ‘But you got to be sad mama’, well truth be told I am not.

Nothing matters to me more than your happiness and wellbeing. Therefore, when a storm passes my way every now and then, I should learn to appreciate that a sunny day will follow. I am not moved neither am I disturbed by the constant change of weather, because I have no control over it, nor can I stop the stupor of a lamenting puppy.

So, my dearest angels worry not about your old mother for I have withered more than just a stormy weather. He will have to do more to break me, and they will have to be a stronger force to befall me.

For only the Lord can see what is beyond.

My advice to him is to hold tight to his fort as long as he can, may be tomorrow’s tsunami will drown him beyond recognition.

Good Samaritan

Good Samaritans do not come your way too often in this world of so many uncertainties. However, yesterday was a day that I wish to remember for a long time to come, yes hubby and me were in dire need of help from someone or any one at all.

We both are still experiencing the jet lag, and our orientation is wayward, yet we have things to do with a timeline. It was a touch and go thing; we could not look back and call it a halt. We were trying so hard not to get on each others’ nerves due to this fact; we just have to get going within a timeframe of less than 24 hours.

The Lord has been great and always will be; a Good Samaritan was sent to us in the least expected of an encounter, he came to us as a taxi driver. Alhamdulillah, and thank you Lord.

When I first saw the taxi driver, I was scared, he has the telltale of a pious man, with a long beard that touches his chest, an unsmiling face, a set of very cold eyes, and someone who will not look me in the eyes, least be chatting with me, but I was wrong, he was indeed a very learned man. His English was flawless, and he had graduated from one of the prestigious universities in the Middle East but fate had it that he does not make it big. He was never bitter, and we can tell from the way he was telling us a bit about his life.

He was helping hubby and me without question, he was just helping and helping and driving us around to where we want to go. He was smiling, chatting and telling us things that we were not aware of for nearly five years being here. We were so grateful to the Lord for this Good Samaritan.

When it was time to part ways, we decided to pay him more than what he deserved, but he just refused to take a single cent more than what was shown on his taxi meter. I was pretty sure that this man was an angel in human skin, sent from above for us in our time of need.

Thank you Lord, thank you for your abundance of love for us and our children.

My Little Angel Smiles

When my little angel smiles, she drains away all the trouble in my heart. The whole world seems to be a better place for me each time she giggles and smiles.

I am pining for her every second of the day, but I realize that the distance between us can only make her a better person, a more independent young thing, someone I know I will be forever proud of.

When my little angel smiles nothing else matters to me. I want to hold that moment forever and never let it fade away from me.

When my little angel smiles I know the Lord is watching after her for me and keeping her safe with His love.

A 380 - The Smiling Dolphin

On the way back, the least I wanted was a packed plane over a long haul flight. It was not quite so nice when we actually have to transit in Melbourne instead of flying direct from Adelaide, however, due to the fact that everything was done last minute we had no other alternative.

During the check in the counter guy told us that “you people are very lucky, as you will be flying in one of the very big planes”, well alright does not really matter to me, as long as the plane is comfortable, size really is not an issue here.

Upon entering the gate I could not help but was at awe when I saw this spectacular magnificent airplane being prepared for us. It was just beautiful, in my mind I thought it looked like a smiling dolphin, so gigantic, so modern, so so extra ordinary. I was in love at first sight.

We were on board the new double deck, wide body A 380, for real? This is the largest airliner in the world ever built. It is history to me, everything about this aircraft was just beautiful, neat and clean. The movies were the latest, the food was exquisitely presented, from the cold dish to the main dish; everything was just sumptuous, though ours was a special meal requested. Mind you even the diet coke tasted different in this smiling dolphin.

The toilet was spotless at all time, and the crew was just humming around you to make each and every one as comfortable as possible, even the captain came down to mingle with the passengers and to answer any questions with regards to the aircraft.

Smiling dolphin, will you come with me one day Schnappi? Tokma miss you.

Storm Clouds

Beautiful clouds, caught these while driving downtown Adelaide. The weather man said there will be a typhoon and a thunder storm. I am so happy to witness this beautiful fold of clouds.

I Never Doubt You

Congratulation is not enough for me to let you know how proud I am of you, it is not even enough to measure how much the turbulence you have been through to reach your goal.

You have made it!!!!!! Now don’t be afraid to walk on to your next journey. Always remember that there will be a hundred NOs before a single YES, but never ever give up to all the NOs. I hope it can only make you more determine in achieving what you have sought to achieve.

Congratulation can never be enough for me to list down the number of time that we have cried together, the hours that we keep holding to each other and never giving up. You have made it this far. Alhamdulillah.

Congratulation Alia, I never have a doubt that you can do it.

We Will Manage

I wanted to hold to the moment as long as I can

It is just me, I guess, letting go is a huge huge problem

Despite the hours being late, I keep dragging on it

I keep finding excuses to stay a little longer

I know you are a big girl, I know like your mom, you are a survivor

Time will drown the moment of alone time so swiftly that you will not even notice it

I look forward to seeing you again and again and again

We will manage the distance, I know we will

Today I left my heart with you

And I want you to know that I carry you with me every seconds of the day

I love you Chef Diva, love you endless

How Low Can You Go?

Show me, how low can you go?

Something About Mangoes

It was my little angel first weekend out, we took her to a ‘boleh land’ restaurant for lunch. She was not so impressed by the food, but Chef Diva and I was super hungry, so we ate as though the food was heaven sent. Hubby settled for two pieces of ‘roti canai’, his all-time favorite.

The weather was unbelievable; we were all drenched in sweat, yet like many of them here, we were walking and walking. The quality time with my little angel was priceless, and to see that smile on her face again mean the whole world to me. Albeit all these, nothing was more welcoming then a shaded bench, and sweet local golden flesh mangoes.

Simply worth it!!!!!

I Need My Mama

Our private moment

My little angel learning to live her life in a dormitory

It is so painful to see the tears that flow, so painful each day seeing her this way

But trust me my little angle I only want the best for you

These painful tears will be a distant memory of yesterday

You will make it, I know you will

The real world is nasty darling, but I have only chosen the best for you

Your text message “I need my mama” will forever be in my heart

Your mama is here darling; your mama is in you and never too far

Will you promise me that you will give this dormitory living a try?

I love you most
