Weekend snapshot

WS2

My hometown Sibu has many parks like this. What is different is that it is not built by the government but built by non-governmental organizations with money from donations from a generous public.

That is one good thing about the people in my town. They are always aware of the need for people to take a walk and stroll and generally engage in healthy activities. There are many sculptures and even a big lily pond and a jogging track.

Thank you all for your kind birthday wishes.

We have chosen this photo because it is a very old photo and unlikely to be recognizable ;) Here we see me glammed up for an important occasion.

Thank you everybody. :)

Photohunters: Practical

exercise-room

I had an idea to create a small space for my son and I to exercise. We cleared a small space so we could exercise together. It was a grand idea. For more details, here

However four days later, seeing the two of us not using the space or exercising, my wife found a more practical use for the exercise thingy and the space. :)

Have a great weekend every body.

Growing up in slums

botanical-gardens
A place to run away from it all

Life was never easy. There was always the potential of harm to one’s self. When you see a fight or some gang smashing up a neighbour’s house, stay indoors. Peek though a window if you must, but remain hidden.

Growing up and memories

toys
Benghui’s top 3 favorite toys-his own selection

I woke up this morning with a splitting headache. Vaguely recall yesterday was Mrs BB’s birthday. Rushed over to look at Benghui. I do that every morning to make sure he is alright.

I then recall memories of my childhood. My earliest memory of childhood is to wake up with a small inflatable Batman by the side of my mattress. My father is long gone but I still remember it.

Happy birthday, Mrs Bengbeng

I was at the gym when Benghui called me.

Benghui: Today is mummy’s birthday. You come home now.

I remember telling Clare about her birthday but I forgot about it again. I rushed to a shop at Wisma Sanyan and got a little something. Just in case Mrs BB expects something. Sometimes it is hard to read her mind. I give her something and she will scold me for wasting money.

Son in Sound of Music family dies

The sound of music

Oh my God! Has it been that long since The Sound of Music was filmed? I think almost everybody aged 30 and above has seen the film, The Sound of Music. It is brought back and reycled every ten years. It never fails to please as a family based entertainment. It had all the elements of a thriller with war as a persistent background for the movie.

To forgive others, one must forgive one’s self

reflection-in-river

Today I share with you a chat with a wonderful caring guy. His faith shines through his life. Sometimes when I compare myself with those like him, I wonder if the faith I profess to have is the same as theirs. I fail miserably. Anyway, this morning I share this chat to motivate readers to think and reflect upon their own lives.
