An ordeal

2023 December 20 was nothing short of an ordeal for me.  Alot of anxiety before and after.  My 2 sons were present throughout to give me moral support.  Indivertible in the aging process?

Mothers

 

Mothers" greatest fear

 

Not being ever to see them again

 

 

人生只有兩件事

 人生只有兩件事，1，照顧好子女，不要讓他們日後成為社會的負擔。2，照顧好自己，不要讓自己日後成為子女的負擔

世上所有的遇見，都有因果

 你是誰，就會遇見誰 你的貴人，會因你而來，世上所有的遇見，都有因果.

Mothers never give up

 

These keep me busy

Friendships

 Some friendships do last a lifetime.  

       L-R, Ir Jenny; Ir Datin Ruhana, Ir Dr Salamah; me.  Picture taken when we visited Datin Ruhana last week. Love these girls, very smart lady Engineers with whom I had the privilege of working in the same department in the 1980s.  

L-R,  Lai Ling, me, Norhayati when we had a lunch meet several days ago.  Love these girls.  They were my classmates in High school in Kuala Lumpur.  Norhayati and me continued tertiary education in the same university locally while Lai Ling studied in the UK.
