I'm Sorry....

“There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found, while traveling east and west
The only folks we really wound, Are those who we love best.
We flatter those we scarcely know, we please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many thoughtless blow, To those who love us best.”
-Ella Wilcox-


It is true that we sometimes hurt those who we really love. And I admit, I am quite guilty of it as well. It just seems that it’s easier to get angry or say hurtful things to those who are close to us…maybe it’s because we know that in the end we will always be forgiven. Yeah, I think that’s a lame excuse….there shouldn’t be any excuse to say hurtful things to anybody ESPECIALLY to those we love. I am dedicating this post to everyone that I’ve hurt in the past, be it intentionally or unintentionally…to my friends and family, my Husband, Mom and Dad, Sister and Brother.

I’m sorry….and I love you.

Just A Quickie!

Cathy and Wilmeller's Wedding

My friend Cathy got married today. It was a Garden Wedding which was held in her backyard. I’m so happy for her. At last she has found her true love. It was also a sort reunion for some of us because we were able to meet friends that we haven’t seen for quite some time. Below are some pics that I took during the wedding. Congratulations to Cathy and Wilmeller! May you both have a beautiful journey through life together!

Sandakan Trip

I was in Sandakan last week for a school visit in Kinabatangan. It was my first time to Kinabatangan so I was really looking forward to go there. The journey took us about 1 hour to Kinabatangan Town and another 40 minutes to the school itself . By the time we reached the school I was so exhausted. The school was far more in better condition than I imagined. After we were done doing our work there, we headed back to Sandakan. We checked in at the newest hotel in Sandakan, situated at Sandakan Harbour Square. It was quite impressive with the view of the ocean just steps away and the rooms are so cosy….when I entered my room I really felt at home. Of all the hotels I’ve stayed in…this is the first one that really impressed me from my first step into the room. The next morning, I woke up early to go see the sunrise from the harbor which was just behind the hotel. There was no one there except for me and some hotel workers carrying some things from a pick up truck into the hotel. It’s seldom that I get to see the sunrise….especially from the harbor. Most people love sunsets…but I think that sunrises are equally beautiful. It’s like a symbol of hope and new beginnings.

Oh ya….remember my entry about my trip to Langkawi? On my way back to Sabah, during the wait for my flight back to KK at KLIA, I met Frisco Daniel who is a cousin and also fellow blogger. You can find his name on my blogroll. I met him on my way out from Erraman…a convenient store located at the Arrivals Level. At first I saw a group of people with SABAH printed on the back of their shirts. “Okay…they are from Sabah”, I thought. Then I saw a tall guy…who I thought looked familiar…I think it was the glasses. I only met him once at my hubby’s cousin’s wedding. He was one of the photographers for the wedding. In my mind I thought “Isn’t that Frisco?” So I went up to him and said “ Frisco kah?” Translated “Frisco, is it?” I think he looked at me for about 3 seconds before he recognized who I was. Of all places, we couldn’t believe that we would bump into each other in KLIA. Below is a picture of us at the airport. Frisco, if you’re reading this, I hope you don’t mind me ‘grabbing’ this photo from your blog.hehehe….

Good Genes

My daily routine (on weekdays only) is to send my two little angels to my mother-in-laws house and then hubby will send me to the bus stop to wait for my dad. My mother and I work in the same area so it is more convenient to follow my dad than bring my own car…which I don’t have..yet. I’m planning to get a car before the end of this year…preferably a Toyota 4WD. To reach my house you will need a 4WD. It’s not that cars like kancils can’t…but kesian laa..skijap ja suda longgar sini longgar sana. The road to my house is so bumpy..my friend once said a pregnant lady could give birth before reaching my house. So if you or anyone that you know is selling their 4WD..please let me know ya! Ok…back to my story….as I was sitting there at the bus stop waiting for my dad, a bus stopped in front of me to pick up passengers….then I saw the conductor. His face was familiar and I knew him because during my ITM (before it changed to UiTM) diploma days…he was the conductor for one of the buses going to ITM and I regularly rode his bus. I was so surprised to see that he hasn’t aged a bit. He looked the same as he was 10 years ago. Some people are just plain lucky..!

Pesta Sukarelawan

Yesterday, there was a special program at Pioneer Mission Church, Tamparuli. I think it was called Pesta Sukarelawan...though it doesn’t sound like anything related to music, it was and there were singing groups from many places involved in this program. My singing group, Witness Wide was invited to sing as well in which we sang 2 songs…Love Grew Where The Blood Fell (I can never get bored singing this song) and Gone. The whole afternoon was filled with beautiful songs and of course I met a few friends that I haven’t seen for quite some time. Here are some shots that I took that afternoon.
