When Auld Lang Syne Should Not Be The Song

They left, I know not what to do, to laugh, to cry, or to just be as ordinary as I am, and I think the later was the best. I want them to leave knowing that I will be alright, and that I know they will be alright too.

The hugs and the kisses can never be enough. They are my babies, forever will be. A chapter is closed today while another one is waiting to be opened. May the Lord keep them safe and give them the strength to never give up on anything.

I am reminding myself today that “Auld Lang Syne” will not be and should not be the song for our days, especially today.

I love you angels.

Kanyon A Dramatic Architectural

This is Kanyon Shopping Mall in Istabul, Turkey. The place reminded me so much of Pavilion in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The only difference is that people who come to this mall here are well dressed and attired, I like that.

We were all in awe by the magnificence of this building; it is spectacular to say the least. Thus, it is not surprising when I later learned that Kanyon had won the 2006 Cityscape Architectural Review Award in the "Commercial Built" category, during a ceremony which was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 4 December 2006.

The tight security that comes with this building just makes it more comfortable for us to spend our time wondering for nothing in this building. We felt important (ehmmm…..). By the way on the same day and time that we were wondering aimlessly in the comfort of the securities, a suicide bombing was taking place just about 70 meters for Kanyon. We only get to know about the incident when we were back in our hotel room.

I hope someday the people here will appreciate what they have as compared to many others who could only dream of walking in such dramatic architecture.

Another Chapter Ceased

Seeing the dejected faces of my two angels is something that is not easy for me. It is sad looking at them waiting anxiously for the call to come through, something they had been anticipating for two days. What can I say more than what I have already.

Alhamdulillah, I always tell them that the Lord will only allow what is best for us and not what we think we always wanted for ourselves. There will be a time when we think that everything is in our grip, just to realize that those were the things that we needed less, so we should not waste time in contemplating what could have and could have not.

To boost up their self-esteem again, we eagerly got dressed to have another day of family and friends quality time. Chef Diva was not feeling too well though and the cold weather only makes her feel worse, but as always she is a good sport, at one point she had to rush back to the washroom of the cinema to puke. My poor Chef Diva.

We spent the rest of the day accompanying and help organize, her little sister’s get together cinema day cum farewell for all her dear friends, while they were watching “Despicable me”, the three of us went for “Megamind”. In the end we all had fun and that matters.

Being dejected is not a subject to ponder or reflect upon, but just another chapter that should be considered as ceased.

My Snow Angels

Yesterday I was sad, so I decided to take my two angels out. First stop was to the hair dresser to have both their hair trimmed. Next was chocolate shopping for Xmas followed by lunch. We also went for some window shopping before stopping to get me a new boot, sadly the warm comfortable Ugg that I got from Down Under could not take the amount of snow walking here.

Later in the evening we waited for hubby to meet us for a movie, we watched “You will meet a tall dark stranger”. It was a very light hearted movie, of course I went because of Antony Hopkins, but we were laughing so much that after leaving the moving and stuffing our faces with oodles of toffee popcorns, I actually forgot why I was sad in the first place.

I guess when you have two of the most wonderful snow angels in your life, nothing could make you sad, even if the whole world is against you, and yeah a husband who gave you nearly everything that you could wish for.

I am grateful for His blessing every seconds of my life.

I Am LAZY

I am being stung by the LAZY bug.

I am officially lazy

Lazy

Lazy, LAZY to the max

Chef Diva walked into my room and said out loud, “Ma, you better buckle up before I send you for therapy”, of course this is when she found me with the TV on engrossed with Wiki leaks, the laptop on with Zuma, and the ipad on with mahjong.

See, this is the reason why I don’t like winter at all, it literally turns me into my stupid mood, or does it?

For now I am singing the lazy tune, come dance with me will you?
