"My Precious"

Letter to City Mayor - Dangerous Road

"Dearest Mayor

I always travel the above route (Jalan Tuaran) going to work. Getting to the bus stop near the overhead bridge to Karamunsing Kompleks is very dangerous for vehicles. There were few occasions when the bus I was travelling in almost got involved with accident with vehicles coming from either Jalan Damai or coming out of Jalan Sang Kancil. My colleague said it was because the bus from Jalan Tuaran avoided taking the left lane because they would have to stop for incoming traffic from Jalan Damai. They instead opt to drive straight to the bus stop using the right lane. He said that this could be avoided if Boundary Poles were erected along the middle of the two roads from the island towards the bus stop. Hmm.. maybe you would know best on what to do. Please look into this matter. I have had seen a motorist got hit by a Pick-up and this morning, the bus I was travelling-in nearly collided with a Myvi and the funny thing was that the bus driver kept insisting that it was his way (he must be way crazy!)."

I wrote the above letter and sent it to the Mayor this morning. Hopefully something's done before somebody lose their life.

The Sungkyunkwan Scandal ~ my scandal :P

Korean Drama ~ "The Sungkyunkwan Scandal" ~~<@

OMG!! I'm soo in love with this Korean Drama right now. I love Yoo Ah In sooo much. Mmmmuahhh!!! ^__^

Hehehe.. this is me with him at archery training.. erm.. well, actually the beautiful actress who played Kim Yoon Sik/Hee (Park Min Young) but I swapped my face on her so that I can get closer to Moon Jae Shin (Yoo Ah In).

More pictures of the dashing Moon Jae Shin....

I'm in love. Enuff said.

Orbs of my late mom?

On few occasions, I had felt a very cold freezing “hand” stroked my forehead whenever I felt sad. It made me felt better and calm and I knew it was my late mom’s soul.

Unfortunately I did not inherit the gift of dream like my late mom had. In my 41 years of living, I do not recall having many dreams. My sisters on the other hand are blessed with this gift. There was that time when there was a rotten fish guts smell at home. The smell was unbearable and lasted several days. I asked my sister, Nancy whether she smelled it too. She said no; but told me that she’d a dream about being with my late mom at a feast. She described that there were many ‘people’ there and that there were lots of food served on a long table but when she looked closer, all the food were of fish dish. Fortunately she woke up before taking a bite of those food. I knew then that that was the source of the smell in the house. Fish was my late mom’s favourite food. Growing up, I’ve enjoyed tagging along going on many fishing trips with her.

And then there was this really weird dream my other sister, Marina told me. She dreamt that my late mom came to visit her and her children. She was telling my sister that she’s fine except for a time when the maggots were disturbing her. “But they’ve moved away now,” she told her, “to that goat corpse”. With that she pointed to a white carcass with no skin not far away from her according to my sister. When it was time to go, she vanished through a pillow that was laying on the floor of her bedroom. My sister felt so disturbed by that dream that she and I went back to our village to visit my mom’s grave on 2nd October 2010.

Here are pictures that I believe to be Orbs of my late mom. Lord, father may you grant her peace. Amen.

Update: My eldest brother and his family came for a visit at my place on 31 December 2010. During our conversations, he told me that he'd been visited by my late mom's spirit in his dream. He said that my late mom was talking to him but she was not facing him directly. He could only see her side. Unfortunately, my brother couldn't comprehend or make out what my late mom was saying to him. He said that she was enveloped in a strange bluish bright light. Very strange indeed.

One of those days... going crazy with sewing

These past few days, I have suddenly immersed myself surfing sewing related websites particularly netizens’ blogs. Fantastic! So many ladies sewing out there somewhere and it is wonderful that they are sharing their wonderful work with everyone. Alviana’s site in particular got me thinking back to all the garments that I have sewn for people in the past. There were so many and I didn’t keep a record on them. Thank goodness for Blog (thank you, thank you whoever you are). Now I can post all my sewing work and stuffs from now onwards.

Here’s my first bridesmaid dresses. Vera, the bride chose the colour which is light blue. I was not really thrilled with the colour choice because it was quite pale but I did try to make them pretty by adding subtle bling. Mind you the head of the church was quite an orthodox priest so everything has to be proper.

Okay, I’m off to continue with my iron lady mental brainxercise i.e. my thoughts running here and there without anything getting done. ~ o_O ..... ^_^ heee..

Shirts For Bren's Sons

From pattern to cloth. Had to scratch my head on which way the pattern should be placed because apparently the material was just enough for two shirts and there's no room for error. Aduii... The sales lady didn't gave any 'subsidy' i.e. allowance for her uneven scissors cut from the main material.

Tadaa.. The shirts. Unfortunately my sewing machine does not do buttonhole so I have to get the buttonholes done in a shop in Segama. There's a very nice couple there running a shop tailoring for men clothes. Bren said that her sons would be wearing the shirts to her niece's purple themed wedding reception on Saturday, 25 September 2010.

Note: Buttonholes was done by Joanna, the lady next to the couple's shop. The couple broke their buttonhole machine during last minute sewing for Hari Raya. Luckily the husband suggested going to Joanna's shop. She's a nice lady. I must I must get me an electric sewing machine with gadgets one of these days ^_^

Delay is Good

I've finally decided what dress to make out of my girlfriend's pink cloth after a very long delay hehehe.. (^_^) I'm gonna make her a Chinese "Cheongsam". I think it's gonna look very cute. Her husband is mix Chinese-Kadazan, so I think she'll approve. Pssttt.. it's a surprise. Can't wait to start this project. Yeayy.. Delay is good.

Meantime, sewing Bren's shirts for her sons takes most of my time because of the slippery satin material. But I'm enjoying it and can't rest until I've finished attaching the shirt parts. Have to finish by Thursday though. Bummer :P

Highlight of my day today; found a very good sewing site in the net called yousai.net also yousaikoubou at utube. Can't wait to watch and learn more.

Goth Girl I like

Really like this goth girl from utube. She's cute and funny. Always made me laugh with her expressions ^_^

Male Baju Raya Project Completed!

Hihihi.. yeayy.. I am very happy with myself for completing my second male Baju Raya sewing project just before the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration on 10th September 2010 recently. Tadaa.. \(^.^)/

I am still undecided what to make for my girlfriend though. She left me with this pink cloth material with big roses and said that I can go ahead and make whatever like baju kurung ka. I was thinking of surprising her with a dress but still stuck with the design. Hmm... sexy sleeveless dress (o_O)?? Would have made my life easier if it was Chiffon. Oh well. Need to browse the net for more for pictures.

Empathy

A friend confided me that his wife nagged him for a divorce. This has been going on for quite sometime. They have been married for 7 years and have two kids. I don’t see anything wrong with the man. He is faithful husband and a good man. I asked if he knows the reason why the wife would want to leave him. He told me that he doesn’t really know why because when they talk, she just shouts at him and say so many things that hurt his feeling. He suspected that she is seeing another man. I have never heard him cry until just now. He wished for his life to be shortened thus the end of his misery. This worried me and made my whole day so depressing and gloomy. I didn’t really know what to say to him except asked him to be patience.

Karma~Crap~Nervous~and ReCycle

Karma ~ Say a bad thing and same bad thing befall on you.

Her father suddenly got sick and was hospitalised yesterday. Hmm.. I wonder if she would remember what she’d said about a certain someone when that certain someone was in the same predicament as she is now a few days ago. When I shared how worried and feeling sympathy towards that someone, she said; “Maybe now he will learn to be humble towards other people.” I was taken aback by those words coming out of her mouth. I couldn’t believe that she would say such a thing. And now, she’s in the same boat as that certain someone. I can only shake my head and hope that her father would recover soon.

Crap ~ Initiative squashed like a bug.

Feeling rather crappy today. “Tell me which resort staffs wear uniforms”. Duhh... plenty. If I knew the outcome would be like this, I would rather not give a damn and won’t come up with any initiative to improve the establishment. I suppose I kinda have expected the outcome but I still tried. Crap. You can’t make them wear uniforms? Who runs the show anyway? The employer or the employee? Current mode: Back to not giving a damn.

Nervous ~ New project.

Enveloped with anxiety to start a new project i.e. tailor a male “Baju Raya”. This would actually be the second time that I’ve cut and sewn a male Baju Raya. The first male baju raya that I’ve put together was quite some time ago. A very long time ago. I was hesitant to do it but he has such confidence in me that I feel like I not going to let him down. Nervous but looking forward to complete the challenge.

"Main Kayu Tiga" (Playing with Three Sticks)

Love. You can feel like you’re on top of the world at one time, then feeling at your lowest the next.

Yeah, that’s what happened to her. She’s been married for so long, she forgot what’s like being adored and romanced. We did warn her to prepare for the hurt that will come. We did warn her that it wouldn't last long. She listened but only half heartedly. She just laughed and blew all cautions in the wind. She’s so enamoured with her new found lover, she thought that she could hide her rendezvous from her husband. But unfortunately, the ‘glow’ on her face and the skip in her steps was sensed not only by her friends but by her husband.

Alas, she said her goodbyes to the lover. I’m quite aware of 'that' look she's giving me. She wished to share this latest development with me but I’m not in the mood to listen. She will just have to swallow the lump in her throat and bear it alone.

Update: Apparently, the "goodbyes" was just a pause. From the "imissu" word recently noted in her fb, her face is glowing again. Hahaha.. I'm waiting for more drama.

You're here because of "Uniaspirin"

Hi there my blog readers,

I’ve just realised that many of you stumbled upon my blog because you were doing a research on Uniaspirin and my blog mentioned the word “Uniaspirin”. My late mom was prescribed with uniaspirin but it was not the cause of her passing nor because of the radioiodine treatment that she had received to treat her thyroid problem. She suffered a stroke (cerebral infarction).

You have to understand that my mom had a history of high blood pressure since the birth of my youngest sibling and had been taking medications. She plants rice in paddy fields during her younger days, can’t sit still – always looking for things to do. She was also a person who liked to be in a gathering of her female friends drinking Tapai. Tapai is a traditional drink in our Dusun culture. It is made of fermented rice with ragi and taste sweet with a little alcohol. Other than these, my mom was a very active person. I guess prolonged use of high blood pressure medicines (about 27 years) and drinking Tapai had deteriorated her internal organs.

During the course of her treatment near to her passing, the doctor did informed me that she had cardiac calcification and he’d warned that my mom could suffer a stroke if any calcified debris gets into her bloodstream and flows to the brain. She also had liver cysts.

You know, I would have loved to see her live a little longer until all of her hair turned white but I guess God loves her more and she left the living at the age of 63.

So readers, it is good that you’re doing your research in the internet on what medication the doctors are giving you. Shows that you’re a caring person and a person who wants to be well informed. My advice is that; if you are unsure about something, get other doctors’ opinion. Be strong and try to do the best that you can.

May the grace of our God be with you. God bless. Amen.

Goodbye - You're Done!

For those who wonder whatever happened to the person I called “Papa” (my ex-boyfriend) he is no longer in my life. He cheated, got married with someone else and has recently become a father. I hold no grudges nor have any feelings whatsoever towards him. Everybody have the right to choose their life partner, the way they conduct their life is their own responsibility. I bid him farewell and wish him and his family a good life.

The Shroud of Turin

I was glued to the television last night watching History Channel’s “The Shroud of Turin”. It was a two hour documentary about how a team of graphic artist tried to recreate the real face of Jesus by taking information and blood encoded on the Turin Shroud and transforming it into a 3D image.

The bloodied linen cloth bears the image of a man who appears to have suffered physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion. It was thought that this person was Jesus. The image on the shroud is in natural sepia color but comes out clearer in black and white negative. Even though the person in this shroud suffered horrible beatings, cuts and eventually died on the cross but amazingly his face showed only calmness and peace, as if someone who is asleep. This is impossible! When living things dies, it will slowly decompose and the blood, rotting tissues would have definitely soiled the cloth wrapping it. There would definitely be no distinguishable image. And yet this shroud preserved the image of this person as according to the bible, Jesus died and was resurrected. To me this is the only logical explanation.

People long gone can still be remembered by their photos and for me this is the same with this Turin Shroud. It is a will of a man who wishes for us to remember him and in remembering him, remembers his life, his teachings and his faith in God. That is why the shroud survives to this century.

The face on the Shroud of Turin in negative.

The 3D image derived from the shroud.

Most of Jesus images were based on the face on the shroud of Turin.

"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do."Gospel of Luke 23:34

Jesus Blesses the Little Children

(Mark 10:13-16; Luke 18:15-17)

"Then some little children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. Jesus, however, said, “Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these.” When he had laid his hands on them, he went on from there."

Innocence and pure of heart will save us.

My Late Mom.. Sadness is Eternity

My mom passed away in July 2009. It's hard for me to describe this sadness and emptiness. I leave this page for now, dedicated in memory of my beloved mother. May God bless her soul.
