I love flowers because of mommy.
I love the nature because of mommy.
I love artworks because of mommy.
I love to take responsibility because of mommy.
I love to cook because of mommy.
I love to eat because of mommy. (yeah..she is the best cook in the world.)

Friday battle

I am not feeling well today.
no appetite.
But I went to Uni to attend a meeting with Dean of our School of Engineering.
When the meeting was over, I got back to my work place
and while I was working on PC, there were 3 mosquitoes flying around and bite me.
I was scared and cried out.
On the way to campus service office to complain about the mosquitoes, I saw the cleaner, so
I told her mosquitoes are around.
She told me to wait and then she came with insect killer spray in her hand.
And then she took action.
I stayed outside because of the smell.
huu...
Cleaner laughed at me for my childish manners like I am scared of mosquitoes.
Ya. true. I am scared of it.
here, mosquitoes are much more bigger than the mosquitoes of my native country.
Malaysian mosquitoes are bigger. :P
When they bite me, my skin feels allergies and last time I went to Miri Hospital.

flowers in orange

I took this picture when I accompanied my mom to the nursery.
I really don't know the flower name.
Its bright petals attract me to take the picture.

No mood to write, to study, to cook today. Nothing special in my mind.
I skip my studies at University. I didn't go to Uni today.
I think what I feel is because of the weather.
Raining all day long.
I am a lazy bone.
:(

water lily diving

Heavy rain and thunder storm last night.
This morning, I seen my water lily like this.

"higher the water level, deeper water lily diving in the water."
:P

Water lily again.

Last time, I wanted to grow water lily in my garden, and so

Mommy bought it for me.

But I didn't take good care of it.

Moreover, my puppies Aggie and Angel love to bite it and play.

So water lily has died. But Mommy took good care of it and she bought some tonic for it.

And then water lily is still alive.

Today, it is beautiful in morning sunshine.

The Art of Taking Time to Live

To get the most of life we must take time to live as well as to make a living.
We must practice the art of filling our moments with enriching experiences that will give new meaning and depth to our lives.
We should take time for good books; time to absorb the thoughts of poets and philosophers, seers and prophets.
Time for music that washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Time for friendship; time for talks by fire and walks beneath the stars.
Time for children that we many find again the Kingdom of Heaven within our hearts.
Time for laughter: time for letting go and filling the heart with mirth.
Time for travel; time for pilgrimage and festival. for shrine and exhibit, for rockbound coast and desert, mountain and plain.
Time for nature; time for flower gardens, trees, birds and sunsets.
Time to love and be loved, for love is the greatest thing in the world.
Time for people; time for the interplay of personalities and the interchange of ideas.
Time for solitude; time to be quiet and alone and to look within.
Time to give of ourselves, our talents, abilities, devotions, convictions that we may contribute to the onward march of man.
In all ways let us make our moments glow with life. Let us pray as did Matthew Arnold: “ Calm, calm me more, nor let me die, before I have begun to live.”
