I never thought I would

Guess what? Finally after promising my kids 14 years ago that I will start walking around our neighbourhood, today I finally did it!!! I know it... it took me 14 long years to keep a promise but at last I did it. I do not know what made me do it but just so happened today's weather was fine and suddenly I felt that I should try and walk a few rounds and I managed to walk 3 rounds. What an achievement to myself haha. 

Actually I went because of an advise from a good friend of mine. She told me I should do some exercises because I have high blood pressure. She said walking is good for me so today I did just as she told me. I am sure my children will be happy to hear about this. Well, guess I should be proud of myself because I thought I will never exercise because I am too lazy haha. 

Well, I told myself that from now on, I will continue to walk if the weather permits. So kids, aren't you all proud of your mom? :)

I, Me and Myself

Suddenly I was alone

I had a house but no place to call home

I had friends

but no one to depend on

Yes, I was alone

feeling down and out

A time where nothing went right

I almost gave up the fight

Then I looked around to see

and all I saw was me

I was down on the ground

and there was nobody around

Only then did I realize

that I could only depend on

I, Me and Myself

The Passing Of Youth

I weep silently

for the passing of my youth

but grieve not for the unfullfilment

of my dreams

In a fountain of poem

which pours from my mind

lives again the splendour of my youth

forever young

But, into the mirror, as I look

I weep again and curse the years that took

the blossoming beauty of my youth

which never again will return.

Shopping Spree!!!!

My sister with her family and spouses 

Wow it has been ages since I last went shopping (this means years). Yesterday my sister Audrey and my niece Joanne came and visited me. It was such a happy day for me coz I rarely sees my sister or her family except once a year during the Chinese New Year and this time they came to visit me on a normal day. Hey! What could I wish for.

After spending some time at my house she brought me, Marissa and Garion shopping at Aeon at Bukit Tinggi. We walked for almost 3 hours and Marissa and me bought some clothes and my sister bought me some cheese cakes which is my favourite cake. Ummm yummmy~~~ I am so happy to have some new clothes and so did Marissa. Sometimes my sister do spoil me hehehe but hey how often can she get to spoil me who is her only sister?

Actually, going shopping with my sis is really tiring. She might be older than me by 3 years but she shops like a teenager. I mean she can really shop. Mind you. She even walks like a youngster. She walks ahead of us all and she went round the whole floor in just a short while. As for me I just stood at one place and waited for her to bring me clothes that suits me haha. I am too lazy to walk and anyway she has got better taste than me. She told me I should dress young and not my age haha. Guess its coz I was afraid pepople might say I try to act or look young so I was kinda hesitant to buy those clothes so she ended choosing for me and oh my.  They do look nice on me and they do make me look much younger than my age haha. She said I should not wear those clothes which makes me have those aunty looks. 

But I did really love those clothes that she bought me and I love her too. So here's to you  JIE. I LOVE YOU!!!

Normal day

Today is just a normal day for me. Had a good chat with my best friend Karen on facebook. We talked about our family and problems. Guess every relationships will surely encounter some problems and so forth. We planned to meet up one day since it has been almost 9 years since we last saw each other. I am looking forward to it.

My mood for today ...

A few nice pictures with beautiful quotes

"You will recognize your own path when you come upon it, because you will suddenly have all the energy and imagination you will ever need."

"You can start with nothing. And out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made" ~Michael Beckwith

If you are alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

If you travel in a path that makes you happy and you are misunderstood by many. I hope you consider the opinion that weighs most heavy--yours. ~ Dodinsky ♥ Visit us also at Dodinsky's Garden of Thoughts

The secret in overcoming pain is going through it. The railways in winter eventually becomes spring. ~ Dodinsky < From Dodinsky's Garden of Thoughts

This tree Is not only a tree
It is a friendly tree, that is always watching over you.
This tree Is not only a tree
It is a magical tree.That makes miracles happen,
Hopes become realities, And nevers become alwayses.
This tree Is not only a tree,
It is where everything started.
It is the tree of life.
~Mia Ocean

A mind lingering on unfriendly thoughts will influence how the body moves--slow and drifting, purposeless throughout the day. It is imperative to replenish the mind. Even a morsel of optimism will give you the strength to climb your way back up from the pit of hopelessness. ~ Dodinsky

While you can't stop people from passing judgment, they cannot build your prison, you do. ~ Dodinsky

Let others define you but don't linger in their pond. Swim away from their ignorance and find your ocean. ~ Dodinsky
