Flowers for Me?


Sara got her very first stalk of flower.

Daddy bought his two favourite girls 3 beautiful gerberas. Two for Mummy and one for Baby Sara.

I never realised it but Daddy pointed out that he usually buys me flowers when he is on Medical Leave. Reason being, the market is just beside the clinic. Notice the word 'market' here, compared to the nice bouquet of flowers he bought for me during our courtship. From nice expensive bouquet of flowers to small bundle of flowers to newspaper wrapping flowers. See the transition?

Naw, I am not trying to make a point here. I just one to say that I treasure every single one of it, be it big or small, cheap or expensive, so long its a gift from him :)

Count yourself lucky! The last flowers I got from Mike was my birthday 2005. Before that..... er... Can't remember but maybe 1996?!!

But I appreciate all the other stuff he does for me, so I don't complain...so much. ;)

He he. Ya, with all the things Woon Foong did I am not complaining either but realised that all the jokes about marriage sometimes are actually true :)

men are practical...nice bouquets are useless cause they will be unwrapped from all their shiny wrappings and ribbons and put into a vase.
might as well save the money and wrap in newspaper. once they are put into the vase, the end product is the same. hehhehe

True that wrappings are not as important as the content, but you must admit that it does something for the senses. Eg: wahich would you find more appetising: Nasi lemak in a plastic plate or in a ratan woven plate lined with banana leaf?

My dad-in-law passed away on September 1, 2007 to begin an eternal life with our Lord. He was a man with few words, gentle in his ways and had a generous heart to all. He had led a hard life but he was blessed with a loving and faithful wife and three wonderful sons. He had fought a long hard battle of cancer for years. And throughout his life, he kept his heart closed against the Lord. Due to persistent prayers of those who love him and the brotherly love of Sitiawan Methodist Church members, my dad-in-law accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour, follow thereafter by my mum-in-law. They were both baptized last month. His sickness took a bad turn last week and the sons were called to return home to see him for the last time. There were a few times that they thought my dad-in-law was not going to make it but he managed to pull through. It came to a point, my brother-in-law prayed for a confirmation from God the time which my dad-in-law will be called home. The day before my dad-...

Anniversay

I couldn’t sleep that night. As much as I wanted to but I was full of excitement that my heart could hardly contained. I looked around me and the room was almost in total darkness. The sun has yet to rise for the day. I turned around to turn off my alarm and lie on my back looking up the ceiling. Train of thoughts was running through my mind like a movie clip. As soon as I heard birds chirping, I turned to my side and got up from my bed to make my way to the bathroom. It was nice taking a warm shower before the start of the day. I slowly made my way to the kitchen to find my mother already awake and was up and about preparing breakfast. I was halfway enjoying my hot piping coffee when I received a call on my cell. “Hi, I am outside your house”. I was expecting him to come but didn’t expect him to be this early. I opened the front door and we made our way to my parents’ room. I sat in front of the mirror relaxing myself while he did his masterpiece of painting my face. After a whole 2 h...
