Terry Fox Run 2009

This year's Run is my 3rd outing for Terry fox Run, the first being back in 2006 and 2008 respectively. Like last year, we managed to gather quite a number of people with help from friends on Facebook to turn up for the run in Sarong.
The weather was clear and sunny and the number of supporters are definitely more than 5 thousand at least. With the huge number of people, most of us Sarong People decided early enough that we are just going to enjoy the morning stroll and have fun. It is more of a walk than a run. But everything went very smooth and they were also handing out drinking water every 1 km I think. It was a hot hot morning and perspiration was kicking in even before the 9am start.

Unlike in 2006, this year's Run was supported by mostly Malaysians. And quite a number of people noticed us last year and asked if we were the same group of people. Yes we are..hehe.

My cousin, Arif who started running recently also decided to join the event clad in Sarong :)

Scan

I was looking at the blog that I share with my girlfriends.

So many girlfriends are expecting. They share their first baby scan in the blog. And I can't help thinking how beautiful the tiny lil thing growing inside them.

I kept on telling him how nice to actually feel that feeling. To be sharing the photo scan with your loved ones.

Then he sweetly said "Awak pun boleh letak pe.. Letak gambar taik". :p

KNS!

Bantu lah wanita ini

Please have a read on this article.

Wan Aishah cekal hadapi dugaan

The family is seeking some financial support, so please do support wherever possible. The least we can do it to extend our prayers for her and her family. Semoga mereka dapat teruskan hidup dengan tabah.

I know this lady personally as I am a friend of her daughter. It is soo sad to know about her condition and as a friend, I cannot imagine the things that she has to go through.

My brother was once a cancer patient. I can still remember how I felt when the doctor broke the news. And I can still recall those sleepless nights when I just quietly asked from God to take me instead.

But this.... this is different. It's her mother. Tempat bermanja, tempat mengadu, tempat bergurau....... I really hope that she can be strong, so her mother can be as strong as her. When there's sthrength, happiness, there are always brighter chance of getting cured. Atau sekurang-kurangnya...sakit tu tak rasa...

Permudahkan lah, Amin.

We are in the midst of collecting funds to be donated to her family. So for those who are interested to donate kindly email me at iz_iryna@yahoo.com or you can call the number shown in the article.

Kisah seorang anak

It has been three weeks or so since my house helper of 16 years decided to go back to Indonesia for good. She is 50 this year. Naturally her children would want her to go home and stop working.

And it has also been 3 weeks since my mummy starts to go her head around the kitchen.
So last night, I thought of helping out a bit with dinner, since I am not working. I said I’d cook.

Ehem..ehemm.. jangan happy cepat sangat.

Three types of dishes.

Ketam sweet n sour. This is supposed to be the easiest dish, but I’ve always failed on this. So my mom had to repair it to make it more red-dish. (Initially it was very pale looking ketam..Tapi sedap! Chewah).

Kari telur. I did it differently this time. I added some ikan bilis bertumbuk and tumis together with the other bahan tumis. It’s my aunt’s recipe.

Sayur (tak tahu la apa nama dia) tumis with mushroom and oyster.

Started to kupas-kupas bawang at 6pm. Finished cooking at 8.50pm. O.MG. Can I justify here? I tumbuk semua bawang ok. Not justifiable enough? Ketam 8 ekor, banyak tu.. dapur sangat kecik. Masak sorang-sorang. Masa bergerak dengan pantas. Badan gemok susah nak bergerak laju-laju. Dah lama tak masak. Justifiable, No?

After finished cooking, I though happily that I can hidang the lauk already to my hungry father who didn’t have lunch.

Baru nak hidang, tetiba teringat that I didn’t cook the rice. HALAMAKKK..!!!! Sorry dad! :p

We ended up eating dinner like hungry lion (singa lapo) at 9.30pm. My dad cakap “Huh, nasib baik sedap”. :p

Happy..Nasi dan lauk semua habis licin. (Tak tahu lah sebab lapar ke sedap)

After eating, I think my dad was trying to warn me not to cook lagi sebab tak rela nak tunggu lama sangat agaknya. He said “Esok dinner kita makan chapatti beli dekat FAM”

Haihh, lebih rela makan chapatti nampaknya.

In My Life

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments,
With lovers and friends I still can recall,
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compared with you,
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more.
In my life I love you more.
