I thought..and it appeared! (P1)

It was such a great and a pleasant day Sunday and that has made me decided to record it down over here :D yet i guess it's worth for sharing too :)

On this morning after a mini house cleaning, I went off to my dance class. While on the way, I came across an uncle who shares the same date of birth (except the year~LOL)with me and after a little funny chat with him, I continued my journey to my class. Hmmm,but this time ,while I was walking I came to a thinking on something that I really longed for and all of a sudden...it appeared rightaway!!! :D

Yeap!

I WAS thinking of having a pet dog and finally I found one! :D Whenever I pass by the Buddhist temple in Brickfields, I usually will stop by to pop a 'hie' to Buddha and chant a little prayer from the entrance. As for today, I came to see a black four-legged figure tied under a tree. Then a man approached that figure to move it from a sunny spot to a shady one :) seeing that, I went into the temple compound ;near to the man and asked him whether the dog belongs to him. He mentioned that it stays in the temple and the chief monk is taking care of it. Then I asked the man on what he does there (temple), he told me that he works as a cleaner and he's from Sri Lanka (he is leaving end of this year & good for him! his daughter is getting married!). We have got ourselves introduced and we talked more. He told me the dog is named as Edgar & he is young 'kid'. Ahahah!To me,Edgar sounds like a cartoon character yet it's a cute name. I have no idea on what breed Edgar is but he is definitely a very friendly, gentle soul.I had the soul satisfaction when I got the opportunity to touch and share my love with him.Edgar is very well mannered dog.He was taught mannerism by the chief monk, also by the other monks there ( I have to admit some monks there are really good looking & dashing)Edgar knows how to shake his 'hand' with yours and many more! :D I really got hooked to him and I am so going to make frequent visits to the Buddhist temple ; for both Buddha & Edgar! At one point I told Ananth (the cleaner) that I have been longing to get a pet dog as a good companion, but if I were to get one ; I would need to get the space & time (in which I think would most prob happen when I get married, hopefully) So Ananth told me that I am welcomed to see Edgar in the office :D hearing that, I have been given a new hope of getting a good companion. Looks like God has granted one of my wish~

Thanks God~

A visit from a loved one….

What a day, what a heavy rain! Pheww! Just got back after my replacement class .Today’s class has made my spirit & enthusiasm heightened, thanking my Sir for the encouragement & his utmost patience.

Oh yes, when I returned home, at the doorstep I came across a visitor who just came over to show his presence. Yeap, it is the seasonal butterfly (that’s what I call it as); which you will see not so often and after few days, sadly you will find it lifeless on the ground…I have been seeing them (a lot) when I was in the varsity.

I believe that their presence has a significance whereby the departed ones make their visit by this kind of return. Moreover when they are close to your place or area. To some, it might be ridiculous but not for me. This is because each & every particle of nature has its own way of revealing its mystery and that is the beauty of it. So I assume that it might most probably be my late father paying me a visit! It gives me joy that feeds my hunger of longing and to keep him close to my heart. It is a magical experience that brings you closer to nature and to feel the abstract love. **all smiles**

To my dear dad: Thanks for the visit.I do feel your presence, and do not worry, I shall take care the treasure that you loved the most, amma…

Just wonder if all in this world, experience love in such a way (those who are skeptic not included).I would think that the nature will find a better growth thru the respect given and people shall all indirectly spread love, abstractly indeed!

Believe in nature, believe in love..

Have some heart when you have the eyes...

Ever since I started working @KL Sentral , (at times) I have been wondering this one matter especially when I travel. Well, as most know,KL Sentral is a busy hub of public transportation and over there it's normal to see those who are visually impaired traveling. When I come to think about this,I could sometimes feel their hardship (though it might not be one for them) particularly when it comes to certain aspects;crossing roads, walking thru obstacles, to get on the right bus, etc.Seriously it is not easy to do those with both eyes closed, yet in the hustling bustling city!

With them, there were some scenarios that gave me the opportunity to lend them a hand and at the same time to share some light moments with them that will cease of myoneliness,boredom and the best, to refresh me with a smile on my face!

Some that I could still recall:

1) On a rainy day, I walked pass 1 old uncle who was sitting at the bus stop. Then, I had a feeling that he needs help and when I approached him, he took the offer. I brought him across the street & while we were crossing he asked about me and I replied, then when I asked his name, I got to know that he's a Malay when he don't like one! With that we both laughed together :) and after that I let him have his own time since he is waiting for his friend there @KL Monorail
What can be seen from this: At times they tend to have to difficulty in asking for help, due to the unpredictable mind of some people, therefore we must be ready to offer a good & sincere favour to them :) If they do not need one, then it's okay~continue your journey

2) On a sunny evening, there was this young lady who was waiting for the bus back home.To check whether the bus to her area has arrived, she turned and asked some people nearby. To my frustration, those people that she asked didn't answer her, instead they were puzzled or (i dunno) I then went to her and asked which bus she needs to get in. Then another Chinese Granny also joined me, we were all having a small chat together. Soon after her area bus came, she was so happy with my company that she thanked me for it. As a result of that~I felt so good,as I really felt her sincerity and I understood what she felt...
What can be seen from this: Always be ready and be at your service, please do not be blur~if you can't understand them, just ask them back.DO not ignore them, really not nice!

3) Okay this one a little bit touching for me, it involves a family of 4. The mother,father & 2 young little sons. It was late (nite) and I was waiting for the bus while at the same time watching them. Then I realised that the father & mother are both visually impaired.Basically they rely solely on the son (6-8 years old) to check on the bus. Meanwhile, their youngest son which is like 1 year over ( it gave me a pain in the heart when I saw that his eyes are also affected-though he is not blind) I just can't seem to explain much about his eyes: it was like the eyes were bulging out and the pupil of his eyes are large that made the white part of his eyes lesser to be seen; he was having difficulty to see the bus numbers. So I went to them, accompanied them till they get on the bus.I felt so,so relieved and at the same time became emotional thinking about them (I know I shouldn't but when I came to think about the kids...)
What can be seen from this: I have seen a lot from it, needless to say as all you need is just a little caring heart

That's what I have been pondering (now feeling so at ease after typing them here)...and I personally hope that in future when my kids are growing up , they shall read this posting and may they get a good lesson from the walk of their mother's life :)

Hello Hulu Selangor! :)

A pleasant day, though it was very , very hot!

My activity today was basically more on sight-seeing & shooting with my good friends

The location took place at Hulu Kelang, and at various spots

If you enjoy watching nature, well then I would recommend you to go there to slow & calm down the pace of your life, as though you are at ease while watching the lazy clouds passing by..

Well the town we went, Kuala Kubu Baru, to me does look like Ipoh town and yet it is claimed as sleepy town. This is because you gotta make sure you settle your stuffs there before 6pm, as they close the place early.

Went went to the dam, orang asli settlement, ulu yam village, ulu kalung recreational spot and other places. What a day,pheww! It was really good for me, since I managed to venture many places in just one day! looking forward for more of this adventure later :)
thanks to all my buddies too!thanks for the enjoyment :)

The Dam

On the way to the Orang Asli Settlement

Lastly, the breathtaking lake

That's all folks! :)

A day of... I loved each & every moment of my life

Oooh la la, what a wonderfully hectic day yesterday :)
been travelling here & there all day long, meeting up those who are close to my heart as well new faces too! now that's FUN! :D

Let me keep this posting as one of my journal entry. Since I keep happy, happy stuffs with me, I shall keep this posting as one of them too! :D

I am glad that in the morning I managed to get up after getting ample amount of sleep , knowing that yesterday is gonna be a hectic day :D
then completed some house chores before getting ahead with my journey out


In the morning, I went to meet my good friend, Uncle Wong, whom I used to meet when I worked in Puchong during lunch hour; he owns a vege restaurant. It feels so nice to meet him after a long time; I enjoyed having tea with him and yet he always offer me my fav ABC soup for free :) Usually whenever I go to his shop, he'll get ready with a teapot & cups , then he will sit and talk along with me. Most of the time , he'll advise me to pray and give me some good words of encouragement, and it makes me feel so warm :D
After meeting uncle Wong, I attend my flute class at TFA, I enjoyed meeting my friends and for today we learnt new stuffs: Jathi & thala, as well some new terms :) it was cool
Once done with my class, I went down to Central Market and there I did lotsa things; met my buddies & joined in ARts for Grab where I managed to grab a book at RM20 there, wee! and the book is titled "Eternal India:Folk Dance-Tribal,Ritual & Martial Forms'.

Arts for Grab Event

The book that I got for myself :)

In that happening event, I came across a group of young talented ladies who are into Dollhouse & Miniature making,one of them named Giannigoh(most RIGHT-pic below), invited me to join their group and I gave myself IN! So excited :D
oh I even met one of my funny ,insane buddy wit the name YKK-Yeo Kien Kong promoting his artwork there and gotten myself introduced to Gordon Tan, CM's photographer.

Me with YKK

Gordon & I

Today I even managed to venture on how one can do custom designed t-shirt. Yeap, I got to know that we can put up our design on a silk screen then just stamp it up on the shirt with fabric dye. Cool aite? should thank Shawn(one of the designer in that event) for the explanation& demo given.
Next I got down, met my 'Sifu', none other than Mr.Khairul, who works an artist in Central Market. He as a creative being, can do almost all of these ;sketching, drawing , painting and the list goes on. Well, I like meeting him because I feel free, relaxed and inspired when it comes to us talking about arts ,as well for a little bite of gossips :P LOL!
Next location, my once upon a time fav spot, Old Town White Coffee.Yeap meeting up a good friend-cum-brother there.; Wing Nai from Myanmar. From him, I learn Myanmarese language :) and he likes to care for me too, till he will force me to eat / drink there-and that is his treat. As a result of knowing him & with the frequent visit there, almost most of the workers there know me and they will cheer when I enter the kopitiam, where I will hear "Malaaaaa, how are you?" Nice kan? that's where I felt the warmth too :)
And at 5pm , I went back to TFA and joined in another class, which is the contemporary dance. I met a few new friends in the class too :) and Thank God, the class today went on well! yeap I managed to clear my confusion by personally approaching my sir for the sake of improving myself.


After my class, I ended the day with a visit to Puchong Perumal temple. Over there, I enjoy meeting a priest;for his concern on me. After the prayers most of the time, I will have the habit of observing people especially little kids,babies and even the elderly, as seeing them is a kind of a breather for me, that carves a smile on my happy face too :)
Well that's about it..my lovely & wonderful day that gives me a satisfaction to love each & every moment in my life!

Cheerio

Ahimsa....

You are simply special...

It is time to let out what I felt for the past few days

After hearing news on the sudden passing of loved one(of others) in tragedies, I gotten myself in the state of shock.However,I personally know how it feels to be losing a person who is very dear to you, and I suppose most of us do feel that too. As to my good friend,Sophia who has just lost her dear sister,Florina in the recent accident.My condolences to her: may Florina's soul rests in peace. Even to Uncle Chiew who left(accident) on the 21st April, may his soul blessed with peace...
As an effect of hearing cases after cases, I came to a thinking that all of us should actually love one another as though as there will be no better opportunity later; yet to love unconditionally. This is to make sure that there's no words left unsaid and no love left unexpressed. Let it all out, get the joy out of it and live with the memory.

To those whom their loved ones has departured, this song I dedicate to them

for they are truly special to one's heart....

one of my most fav song by my fav artist,Adibah Noor; very meaningful & soothing track

oh btw, I just got to know that the song above; the lyrics was personally written by Adibah Noor(singer of the song) and it's dedicated specially to adik Nurul Huda(10 years old) who was raped & murdered brutally 6 years ago. God bless her soul..Also thanking the good souls out there, who sheltered warm love to those who departured, and may this Earth is also filled with the warm unconditional love as well.Life shall be beautiful as it will always be...

Ahimsa...

Forest + Africa

A wonderful weekend I had!
Oh yes I do :)
Especially when it is cherished with nice-to-be-with buddies; both old + new friends!

On Saturday I went to FRIM with a happening couple,to name them- Poobalan & Thenmozhy. Initially planned as a picnic, but as we went there and we got ourselves more into hiking and jungle trailing activity. After done with it , we call it a good day with a unique cup of Malay tea + chit chat with a new buddy + and yeah!camwhoring! of course, we did shoot all the way until my battery dried out!LOL!and FYI this was my first time trip to FRIM, that also means I am planning to go there again :)
Gratitude: Poobalan bro, Then sis + Radzli(new friend) for the good time together!
Meanwhile for today, it is definitely the lovable fun-day Sunday :)
I was gifted a surprise that comes with a package of great FUN!!!FUN!!GREAT ONE!!
As usual Sundays would be my classical dance lesson day, so I was wearing a traditional attire
and to my (so called) horror, when I reached the dance studio I realised that there is NO kathak class as it is replaced with the 'African dance + music' workshop. However, I was encouraged to join the workshop! At first I felt not so comfy but when the workshop started, all those feelings drifted away and FUN came in all the way!!! the dance is way too magical , though it is totally new for us, we all shared great laughter while uncovering the stamina within to sway along with the drum beats, oh FAST drum beats!LOL!The best& worthy part of this workshop is that I managed to learn African dance + music from here itself,LOL!
Gratitude: Olivier Tarpaga, US (Origin-West Africa) + TFA for the lovely workshop!!

that's all for today,more to come in the next posting! :D

ahimsa :)
