Great Loss

One of my lovely students father's passed away this morning at the age of 49 due to heart attack. It was really a shocking news because the deceased was actually very close to us. He was a loving husband to his wife,a  great dad to his 3 children and a very supportive person who was kind enough to help us, the special education family in every way he could. I last saw him on July during our trip to Kelantan and Terengganu. I had a chance to visit the deceased's family with some of my colleagues and students this morning around 10.30am but unfortunately we could not see him for the last time because he was already prepared to be buried. This is my first time attending a  Malay or rather a Muslim's funeral and the surrounding was very sad and the weather was gloomy. I shed some tears when I wave good bye to the family. It was really a sad Tuesday for me. My heartiest condolences to the family and hopefully they'll have courage to move on with their life. 

Suddenly I remember what Fr. Ronnie Luni wrote in his FB wall and it goes like this... “Dalam segala perbuatanmu, dalam segala pikiranmu, hendaklah kamu bertindak seakan-akan hari ini kamu akan mati. Jika kamu mempunyai hati nurani yang bersih, kamu tidak akan terlalu takut mati. Lebih baik menjauhkan diri dari dosa, daripada menghindari kematian. Jika hari ini kamu tidak siap, apakah besok kamu akan siap?

Our Pre-wedding Photoshoot

Like most couples, Jetro and I had decided to experience the excitement of doing pre-wedding photoshoot. Despite being told not to waste money on this kind of thing by my mum, we just went on with our plan. I was given the full authority by dear hubby to hunt for bridal gallery and it was not really a simple task because I just relied on magazines and the net to hunt for one. I end up choosing nothing at the end of the day. When the time came for hubby asking for my final decision, I simply said "Monliza" just because this bridal gallery keeps on appearing in most of the magazines I bought and on the net. Some may say I made the wrong or irrational decision but who cares anyway, right? Here are some of our photos taken during our pre-wedding photoshoot in February 2010. All the wedding gowns were chosen by dear hubby..

What's the big deal?

Aricco Jumitih, who's that? Some of you might know who's the guy. Yes, he is the Commonwealth weightlifting gold medalist.. Perhaps winning that gold medal and RM80,000 is the best things ever happened in his life but now he's facing another problem, just because he wore a vest with a Sabah flag on it during his event in New Delhi this week.For more information, just click HERE...

I'm just wondering what's the big deal about that vest. He helped Malaysia won that gold medal, doesn't he? That is more important than anything else. Sabah is also part of Malaysia, right? So, why mess with him? Hopefully Mr. Arrico will survive all the questionings and for those who bring up this issue, please don't take away his RM80,000 just because of that vest. It is not fair...

Good luck to you Mr. Arrico and I'm proud that you wore the vest with our flag on it.... 

Another rambling..

Woke up this morning with headache. I'm having it since yesterday and still wondering why Mr Headache comes to visit me on my wonderful day...Still can take it without any medication though. Darn you Mr Headache... Shoo!!! Shoo!!!

I'm done with my spring cleaning which I usually do once a week. Inda kutur juga bah rumah sa, ada abuk sikit2 ja la..  Then I proceed to check on my FB. Nothing interesting there.. it has becomes a little bit boring . Now I'm here rambling about something. Yes, I need to jot down something here. My blog have been in hiatus for quite some time due to the poor internet connection. I missed posting about my wedding which was held on June, my parents 33rd wedding anniversary, my visit to Sandakan during September's school holiday and a lot more...Sabar.. sabar.. One in a time, Wina...

My youngest sister told me that our little puppy, Brutus died last week. May it soul rest in peace...

Brutus sleeps in his favourite place

So long Little Brutus...

Have to stop for a while.. I'm going to have my lunch now. I think my headache is cause by my hungriness.. No offence but biasa la perut Dusun ni , mesti mo ada nasi kali...
