Gardening…great activity

Tuaran, Thurs. June 11, 2009 – Gardening would be a great activity for the family. Imagine whatever we plant in the garden, grow and grow as what we want it to be. And, when we grow vegetables, we can enjoy the revenue. Even more, we can share them with the others. My sister very much proud of her vegetable garden, which she initiate together with her hardworking husband and sons. She plants mostly local vegetables such as “sayur ubi”, “sayur manis”, “kangkung” and etc.

My aunts and cousin, enjoying themselves in the garden. I’m not sure, my cousin is helping in plucking the veges or just do some possing for the gallery. They really enjoying themselves in the garden and encourage others to do the same. My sister’s even suggested, for me to plant vegetables in my backyards. Well, I did already but actually to be honest, my servant did it ha..ha…now I have small vegetables garden, in my backyard with some “cili padi”, “pokok kasturi”, “serai”, “sayur manis” and some forgot the names.

So, how about you all…

Journey to share love & joy

Sandakan, Saturday June 6, 2009 -- Giving and sharing are beautiful things to experience. Chances for joining a group of people to go and reach people with disabilities and also elderly folks are very much unforgettable experience.

Flying to Sandakan on Friday, would be my first time to visit Sandakan. Well, thanking the organizer for the cozy and beautiful sea views room from the hotel. Taking picture of the sea view from the hotel room, will never be missed out for the gallery. On the first day, exploring from shop to shop, not knowing what to search for. May be just to find out what is the difference between Sandakan shops and the shops where I came from.

When visiting Sandakan, they said, don’t forget to dine in Ocean King Seafood Restaurant. Definitely a place to dine on my first day in Sandakan which accompany by my husband’s family friend. Even though they will not advice to publish their picture but, some one will not mind to be a model for it, my daughter.

It’s the day that everyone looking for. The main reason for the visit to Sandakan. The first visit to the centre for children with disabilities. Expressing the feeling is out of word. Apart from joy and happy that we are welcoming by them, touching the heart of every guest seeing their smile and warm welcome. Chances to hold a 3 years old boy with down syndrome a very much a touching heart. Deep in the heart, only a pray that God will give them love, joy, protection, healthy and everything that they can’t search for themselves. But, most of all they are very happy that day, we are very happy and the social workers are also very happy that shows in the picture.

Next, elderly people. We are welcoming with the same approach. We saw grandfather and grandmother were patiently waiting for us in the hall. Amazing things, they wear the same blue batik shirt. What a wonderful dress-up. We share out joy and fun with them where we have a karaoke and dance with the elderly people. One grandpa, are still very much sporting. We can see he never disappoint the guess and would dance along when invited. After the session, we also pay a visit to bed-ridden elderly people and have a chat with them while giving out gift.

As our head said, we should be very happy and be thankful for what we are and what we have. We pity those who have the disabilities and also who left out from the families. And we are very much agree with the statement.

Hoping there will be more people out there, to have a good heart to share the joy, love and caring with those unfortunate people. We can’t depend on the authority most of the time to take care of these people. The kindness and wonderful communities like us also have the responsible to share the joy, love and caring that we have in this world.

So…a journey to a place where everyone can share…..
