My only daughter

A diminutive, highly independent girl, that's my only daughter.  Had a tiny birthday celebration for her at home on 8 September 2021 .

The Pink Lady

I had been nurturing this plant for about 2 years but only recently did I know that the Callisia Repens or Pink Lady is a succulent! She enjoys direct sunlight, or bright indirect light, to keep her pretty pink variegated leaves. Callisia Repens are very hardy in the right conditions.

Definitely my current favourite plant.

Contributing to Covid 19 herd immunity

                                             Consultation with the doctor prior to the vaccination


                                             Vaccination in progress, I was administered Astra Zaneca



                              A requirement to rest for 15 minutes after the vaccination, at the venue



                                            Process completed, overall a pleasant experience, 

                                            excellent service shown  by all in attendance  

                                            at the vaccination centre

Selamat Hari Raya

 Eid al-Fitri marks the end of the month-long fast observed by Muslims all over the world. This year, just like last year, we only had  a quiet celebration with immediate family members. To avoid the spread of Covid 19, for the second year running, we have to observe the SOP of not receiving any guest. We definitely miss having our friends and relatives in the house.

Mother's Day tribute to a comatose mother. 母爱伟大!

 (46) 沉睡5月植物人突然呻吟生下婴儿,宝宝哭出来那刻,妈妈奇迹苏醒,母爱伟大!【天下父母】 - YouTube


This lady went into a coma because of a blood clot in the brain.  At the same time the doctors discovered that she was 4 months pregnant.  After much consultations family members and the doctors  decided to abort the fetus to give the mother a better chance  of survival.  At this point of time the mother suddenly opened her eyes and used her tears to express her objection.   She only stopped tearing when the family and doctors agreed to proceed with the pregnancy.  For the next 5 months she continued to be in a comatose state.  When the baby attained full term a C section was performed, with the odds against the mother's survival .  Against all odds  both mother and child were safe.  The mother even managed a hand gestured a V sign when she was being pushed out the operating room.  Now she has still not fully recovered but always so happy when she sees her baby.
