I had just started working and at that point it will be Hari Raya in less than a month time. My hope was to get my children some new shoes and clothings with my first pay. Pay day comes (5 days before Hari Raya), I found out my pay was not credited as my bank accou... View More
It happened years ago when my hubby passed away and I was alone with three teenage kids. As I could not accept the loss, I began to be weakened spirtually and physically. This happened together when my kids also started to become irresponsible with their studies and wasting their lives away with games and videos. It seemed that we were all giving up on life and see life as so imperma... View More
Last time when I attended school during my schooling days, the top 3 pupils doing well academically from each class will be awarded a prize each. Although this is the only time throughout my primary and secondary schools days that I was able to achieve the top 3 positions in class, it encourages me to study diligently and to do well in my studies and work in future.

When we are facing a dead end in our life or any difficult moments that make us stuck and unable to make any move or a turn, even a little help will means a lot. We may not know how much that small help that we gave out will mean to someone at that point of their life. Sometimes it may seems like a small and meaningless thing but to those who really need help at that point, those help... View More
I was diagnosed endometrial cancer a few years ago. I had to choose between keeping my womb which meant frequent visits of chemo and a chance that the cancel cells will disappear or remove my womb and never having children. I chose to remove my womb. The road to recovery wasn't easy. I'm grateful to have my family and small circle of friends who stayed by my side. Im thankful for this... View More
I would consider myself to be very blessed, because I have receive more than 1 or 2 gifts that are memorable, useful or special. The most useful gift is this human body I received from my parents - especially my mother, who have taken much pain and toil to do this, without which I could not obtain the other gifts. During our childhood and teenage years, most parents are especially ... View More
The most memorable gift does not mean the most expensive one. Often, it is the mindful thought behind that matters more. I would like to share a personal experience during my study abroad programme in South Korea. Upon arrival at the airport, slightly lost, I met a kind korean couple who offered to bring me to my destination. We exchanged contacts and in the weeks that followed, th... View More
My late grandma used to say this, “Humans are born with nothing, not even a piece of cloth on our back but when we leave this world, we still get to choose our favourite clothes to be worn to cover our modesty. Heaven is good”. I was a child then, and I don’t understand. As a child, I thought life is about achieving what I want, good results, being able to eat food that I want, bei... View More
Sometimes, we don't realise that the ones who give the most at times are the ones that have little to nothing to spare. Yet, out of their own goodwill, they intend to help you go through tough times. Just like when i received help when i was struggling financially, juggling 3 young kids on my own. When i myself am a young mother. i had nowhere to turn to. I had a neighbour where out o...

Most people I have met do not appreciate things in life. They will always complain about the things they hate or not used to. To be honest, as a person who appreciates small little things in life, it hurts to hear such comments from them. Maybe to them, it is an abnormal thing which causes them to have such point of view. So, instead of judging them, I would encourage them to put them... View More

Most memorable gift is from my sister. It is a adidas yellow watch. My sister and I seldom exchange gifts during festive seasons. But she gave me a watch during my birthday. It is my so first branded watch and is of my favorite colour. We are not well to do and she got me an expensive gift I was so grateful. It is useful for exam as I need to keep track of the time.
