dumplings

Dumpling ... one of my all-time favourite food ... especially those with 'mei tao' and 'fung lut' =D DELICIOUS ... it's time of the year again for dumping festival. Thank you very much for the dumplings.

potpouri of precious colleagues

to soothe ourselves before the re-structuring, we treated ourselves to foods & more foods and most importantly companionship.

this group of colleagues is easily one of the best group of colleagues in my working life so far ... the most fun & comfortable to be with, least judgemental & the least pretentious lot. All are very nice & humble people.

Eating, having fun & pouring our hearts' contents over dinner at Chilli's

drunk from having too many glasses of bottomless fruit juices =p

taken after a pot luck sumptous lunch (from right : Chua - spaghetti 'liu', June -longan laici agar agar, Lynn - spaghetti, Lily - herbal eggs, me, Yong - lots & lots of fruits, Siew Choo (vegetarian mee hoon & burger, Ya Li - helps with everything)

in the almost 2 months ...

Wishbone has been with us for almost 2 months =) We do get questions like how old is she .... which we do not actually know ... for she was abandoned and rescued and adopted.
Perhaps wishbone is about 3-4 months old.

This weekend we'll bring her for 2nd vaccination ... which we do not know how the much stronger wishbone will react. She's afraid of injections =p hehe
Her 1st vaccination experience was special (to me at least) because never before I experienced such a little helpless creature clinging so dearly to me ... the emotion was very real.

some random pics of wishbone with her antics =D

wishbone with jie jie slippers which has ever since became her chewing toy


biased wishbone with kor kor slippers which she never dare to touch at all what more bite


Comot wishbone after burying his precious bone in the garden =D

Eager wishbone when she sees you bringing her food

Wishbone & her favourite sleeping place .... the drain out of all the place =p

when she's not sleeping here

or HERE .... on my lap

This dog is really like her owner .... can sleep anywhere anytime anyhow =D

crazy about corn

I'm crazy about corn ... natural corn / corn in cup / corn in can .... everything also I sapu (just like wishbone) =D

I'm already half way through =)

I'm happy I'm already half way through ... if you asked me about the little sacrifices (maybe they are not even sacrifices) ... I feel sweet and I think they are for good if not better.
Initially I thought I had lose out on many things but then slowly & slowly I realised I was gaining so much more in return (yah, and that include weight as well ... hehe =p)
Also I thought I didn't get to enjoy the type of life others are enjoying ...carefree and full of excitement but I was so wrong as I'm enjoying my life now more than ever.
This could easily be one of the best part of my life...
if I were to choose again, I think I would still have chosen this same old path.
I love life ... I love lives ...

don't worry be happy =D

Currently, there are some restructuring at the organisation I work in. Everyone (well almost everyone is in a turmoil of emotions and miserabilities (newly coined by Su)
I too was initially one of them .... until I woke up one morning
I've reached the stage whereby people say "too many types of feelings / emotions until cannot feel anymore"

Essentially,
what's there to be worried about? life still goes on for me and my loved ones
I've better things to worry about than things which is beyond my control.
sometimes we spend too much time worrying and speculating till we don't know what's true and what's now ..... that we forgot what was the important thing to worry about.
life wouldn't be life if there's no worries
just don't let worry consume us ... it's just not worth it.

Korea .... the 'Seoul' of Asia

the partially sponsored trip ... else we wouldn't sampai hati to spend so much on a trip
the trip before wishbone came to us ... 'someone' promised to allow me take wishbone once we are home from this trip =D
the 1st time we experience cold weather ... considering the all year long hot and wet weather in Malaysia & neighbouring countries.
the 1st trip we joined people of all ages from all walks of life on a trip ... i've never felt so much of care from some strangers whom we just got to know.
but most importantly, being there with dear was the best thing ever ... of course, together with a nice little suprise =D

A little pics to share ... try not to ask me where's the place and which comes 1st ... I've horrible sense of directions =p


the world cup stadium when Seoul is the organiser in 2002.

the polar bear at Everland (a very big theme park - 5th biggest in the world) .... it is catching its food thrown by the zookeeper. most probably the only chance I've in life seeing a polar bear.

The spring garden in 'Everland' ... I could stay there for hours ... but alas I can't bring them home to plant here.

my buddy at Everland ... forgot what's his name liao

ice pellets ice cream ... a nice chill in the cold weather ... love the colours and the taste =D

lioner or tigon ... whatever they call it ... basically it's a cross breed or a lion and a tiger

the variety of drinks found in one of the supermarket in Korea ... they have thousands and thousands types of drinks for health and taste.

It wasn't spring yet when we were there, however we were lucky to meet some 'early bloomers' who showed off their beauty.

A scenic view of a stream coming from the 'tian di' (sky earth) water fall.

Another spectacular view of the stream coming from 'tian di' waterfall.

Jeju island ... a flower plantation at the road side leading to Hallasan (highland). Walking in there is like walking into a Windows wall paper =D

Hallasan ... the highest peak in Jeju Island. It's a high peak and if you reaches the top, you'll see the whole Jeju Island. If you walk downwards, it will lead to the clear blue sea.

A little regret I didn't get to climb to the top due to my condition.

Another Sakura tree by the road side where we purposely ask the bus driver to stop to allow us to take pics.

A cherry tree full of tiny little cherries ... we started picking some from the ground too. Me joining the aunties =p hehe

one of those Korean palace where this is the entertainment & leisure hall, whereby the olden days rulers drink and watches performances by lady dancers.

About the food, only 2 ways of cooking ... steamboat & BBQ

err...if you ask me, Malaysia food is still the best lah =D

this WEEKEND

this weekend, there are 2 things that I wished very much I could do
but I think I'll end up doing none.

1. I wished I could still celebrate mother's day with my mother ... but I wouldn't get another chance at all already.
For these past 1-2 years, mother's day has become a day I'm so afraid to talk about, so afraid to hear, so afraid to even think about it. I've to learn to accept gradually that not everyone will be fortunate to have their parents around and build a strong defense as not to show my own emotions.
If only I knew that that year's mother's day will be last I'll be able to celebrate with my mother, I would have given her everything I could... given her every ounce of love I have in me.
nevertheless, happy mother's day to all mothers !!!
You are all the world's greatest gift to us !!! God bless all mothers.

2. I wished I could join my friends for a trip to Siam Reap ... hopefully I'll get another chance to join for some other trips. I missed those times when we wake up wee hour in the morning, eat and travel together. Sometimes, I'm so excited that I don't really sleep the night before.
I think my buddies must be packing their stuffs, getting all ready-n-excited for the trip tomorrow. To all my buddies .... enjoy yourselves ya.
Last but not least, I'm sorry to 'someone' for 'dragging him into the water' too. If not because of me, he could have well join and visited one of the 7 wonder of the world.

However, whatever it is .... God sometimes may have some better plans for all of us.

we need more truth like this ...

as usual, being the 'very slow' me ...
I couldn't understand a thing when friends brought up Susan Boyle's name.

I was told to google for her name in youtube and I'll understand.
I didn't expect I'll shed tears listening to this lady singing and watching the video.
She just made everyone of us realised something ....
we need more truth like this ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Growing & Glowing

Like this plant, I'm growing and glowing ... and I like the way just I am despite what other thinks or says.
every moment of this experience is just precious ... I've no words to describe it.

the truth wishbone let me know

Margery Facklam once said :

" We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare, and love we can spare.
In return, dogs give us their all.
It's the best deal man has ever made "

and wishbone is confirming the truth by letting me know little by little over the past 1 month.
on another note ...
" no matter how angry you're at them or how badly you treat them, they will forget about it in minutes and love you unconditionally the next moment"
.... this is what 'someone' who bath wishbone told me.

at this moment

I'm craving for braised chicken feet and mushroom wanton mee ....
actually since last saturday morning until now ....

a story you want to read ...

This email made me cried in the office ... but I can't stop myself from reading on



The email


I was in tears reading this sad story.
This is long but worth reading and is true story ...
This is for all the single, married, divorced, widowed individuals, who take life for granted.
Please I BEG YOU, read this story until the end, it is such an opener. You never Know.........................!


Just two years after our marriage, hubby brought up the idea of asking Mother to move from the rural hometown and spend her remaining years with us.
Hubby's father passed away while he was still very young. Mother endured much hardship and struggled all on her own to provide for him, see him through to a university degree.
You should say that she suffered a great deal and did everything you could expect of a woman to bring hubby to where he is today.


I immediately agred and started packing the spare room, which has a balcony facing the South to let her enjoy the sunshine and plant greenery.
Hubby stood in the bright room, and suddenly just picked me up and started spinning round and round. As I begged him to put me down, he said: "Lets go fetch mother."



Hubby is tall and big sized and I love to rest on his chest and enjoy the feeling that he could pick me up at any moment put the tiny me into his pockets.
Whenever we have an argument and both refuses to back down, he would pick me up and spin me over his head continuously until I surrender and beg for mercy.
I became addicted to this kind of panic-joy feeling.



Mother brought along her countryside habits and lifestyle with her.
For example; I am so used to buying flowers to decorate the living room, she could not stand it and would comment: "I do not know how you young people spend your money, why do you buy flowers for? You also can't eat flowers!"

I smiled and said: "Mum, with flowers in the house, our mood will also become better."
Mother continues to grumble away, and hubby smiled: "Mum, this is a city-people's habit; slowly you will get use to it."
Mother stopped saying anything. But every time thereafter, whenever came home with flowers, she would ask me how much it costs.

I told her and she would shake her head and express displeasure.
Sometimes, when I come home with lots of shopping bags, she would ask each and every item how much they cost, I would tell her honestly and she would get even more upset about it.



Hubby playfully pinched my nose and said: "You little fool, just don't tell her the full price of everything would solve it." There begins the friction to our otherwise happy lifestyle.
Mother hates it most when hubby wakes up early to prepare the breakfast.
In her view, how could the man of the house cook for the wife?



At the breakfast table, mother facial expression is always like the dark clouds before a thunderstorm and I would pretend not to notice.
She would use her chopsticks and make a lot of noise with it as her silent protest.
As I am a dance teacher in the Children's Palace and am exhausted from along day of dancing around, I do not wish to give up the luxury of that additional few minutes in the comfort of my bed and hence I turned a deaf ear to all the protest mother makes.



From time to time, mother would help out with some housework, but soon her help created additional work for me.
For example: she would keep all kinds of plastic bags accumulating them so that she sell them later on, and resulted in our house being filled with all the trash bags; she would scrimp on dish washing detergent when helping to wash the dishes and so as not to hurt her feelings,
I would quietly wash them again..


One day, late at night, mother saw me quietly washing the dishes, and "Bam" she slams her bedroom door and cried very loudly in her room.
Hubby was placed in a difficult position, and after that, he did not speak to me for that entire night. I pretended to be a spoilt child, tried acting cute, but he totally ignored me....
I got mad and asked him: "What did I do wrong?" Hubby stared at me and said: "Can't you just give in to her once?
We couldn't possibly die eating from a bowl however unclean it is, right?"


After that incident, for a long period of time, mother did not speak to me and you can feel that there is a very awkward feeling hanging in the house.
During that period of cold war, hubby was caught in dilemma as to who to please.
In order to stop her son from having to prepare breakfast, mother took on the "all important" task of preparing breakfast without any prompting.

At the breakfast table, mother would look at hubby happily eating his breakfast and cast that reprimanding stare at me for having failed to perform my duty as a wife.
To avoid the embarrassing breakfast situation, I resorted to buying my own breakfast on my way to work.



That night, while in bed, hubby was a little upset and asked me: "LD, is it because you think that mum's cooking is not clean that's why you chose not to eat at home?"

He then turned his back on me and left me alone in tears as feeling of unfairness overwhelmed me. After some time, hubby sighed: "LD, just for me, can you have breakfast at home?" I am left with no choice but to return to the breakfast table.



The next morning, I was having porridge prepared by mother and I felt a sudden churn in my stomach and everything inside seem to be rushing up my throat.
I tried to suppress the urge to throw up but I could not.
I threw down the bowl, rushed into the washroom, and vomited everything out.



Just as I was catching my breath, I saw mother crying and grumbling very loudly in her dialect, hubby was standing at the washroom doorway staring at me with fire burning in his eyes..
I opened my mouth but no words came out of it, I really did not mean it. We had our very first big fight that day; mother took a look at us, then stood up and slowly made her way out of the house. Hubby gave me a final stare in the eye and followed mother down the stairs.



For three days, hubby did not return home, not even a phone call.
I was so furious, since mother arrived; I had been trying my best and putting up with her, what else do you want me to do?


For no reason, I keep having the feeling to throw up and I simply have not appetite for food, coupled with all the events happening at home, I was at then low point in my life.
Finally, a colleague said: "LD, you look terrible; you should go and see a doctor." The doctor confirmed that I am pregnant.



Now it became clear to me why I threw up that fateful morning, a sense of sadness floated through that otherwise happy news.
Why didn't hubby, and mother who had been through this before, thought of the possibility of this being the reason that day?



At the hospital entrance, I saw my hubby standing there. It had only been three days, but he looked haggard. I had wanted to turn and leave, but one look at him and my heart soften, I couldn't resist and called out to him.

He followed my voice and finally found me but he pretended that he doesn't know me; he has that disgusted look in his eyes that cut right through my heart. I told myself not to look at him anymore, and hail a cab. At that moment, I have such a strong urge inside me to shout to my hubby: "Darling, I am having your baby!" and have him lift me up and spin me around in circles of joy.



What I wanted didn't happen and as I sat in the cab, my tears started rolling down. Why? Why our love couldn't even withstand the test of one fight? Back home, I lay on the bed thinking about my hubby, and the disgusted look in his eyes. I cried and wet the corner of the blanket.



That night, sound of the drawers opening woke me up. I switched on the lights and I saw hubby with tears rolling down his face. He was removing the money. I stared at him in silence; he ignored me, took the bank deposit book and some money and left the house. Maybe he really intends to leave me for good. What a rational man, so clear-cut in love and money matters. I gave a few dried laugh and tears starting streaming down again.



The next day, I did not go to work. I wanted to clear this out and have a good talk with hubby. I reached his office and his secretary gave me a weird look and said: "Mr. Tan's mother had a traffic accident and is now in the hospital."

I stood there in shock. I rushed to the hospital and by the time I found hubby, mother had already passed away. Hubby did not look at me, his face was expressionless. I looked at mother's pale white and thin face and I couldn't control the tears in my eyes. My god, how could this happen?



Throughout the funeral, hubby did not say a single word to me, with only the occasional disgusted stare at me. I only managed to find out brief facts about the accident from other people. That day, after mother left the house, she walked in dazed toward the bus stop, apparently intending to go back to her old house back in the countryside. As hubby ran after her, she tried to walk faster and as she tried to cross the street, a public bus came and hit her...



I finally understood how much hubby must hate me, if I had not thrown up that morning, if we had not quarreled, if....In his heart, I am indirectly the killer of his mother. Hubby moved into mother's room and came home every night with a strong liquor smell on him. And me, I am buried under the guilt and self-pity and could hardly breathe. I wanted to explain to him, tell him that we are going to have our baby soon, but each time, I saw the dead look in his eyes, all the words I have at the brink of my mouth just fell back in.



I had rather he hit me real hard or give me a big and thorough scolding though none of these events happening had been my fault at all. Many days of suffocating silence went by and as the days went by, hubby came home later and later. The deadlock between us continues, we were living together like strangers who don't know each other. I am like the dead knot in his heart.



One day, I passed by a western restaurant, looking into the glass window, I saw hubby and a girl sitting facing each other and he very lightly brushed her hair for her, I understood what it meant.



After recovering from that moment of shock, I entered the restaurant, stood in front of my hubby and stared hard at him, not a tear in my eyes. I have nothing to say to him, and there is no need to say anything. The girl looked at me, looks at hubby, stands up and wanted to go, hubby stretched out his hand and stopped her. He stared back at me,challenging me. I can only hear my slow heart beat, beating, one by one as if at the brink of death.



I eventually backed down, if I had stood that any longer, I will collapse together with the baby inside me. That night, he did not come home; he had chosen to use that as a way to indicate to me: Following mother's death so did our love for each other. He did not come home anymore after that. Sometimes, when I returned home from work, I can tell that the cupboard had been touched - he had returned to take some of his stuff.



I no longer wish to call him; the initial desire to explain everything to him vanished. I lived alone; I go for my medical checkups alone, my heart breaks again and again every time I see a guy carefully helping his wife through the physical examination. My office colleagues hinted to me to consider aborting the baby, I told them No, I will not.. I insisted on having to this baby, perhaps it is my way of repaying mother for causing her death.



One day, I came home and I saw hubby sitting in the living room. The whole house was filled with cigarette smoke. On the coffee table, there was this piece of paper. I know what it is all about without even looking at it. In the two months plus of living alone, I have gradually learned to find peace within myself. I looked at him, removed my hat and said: "You wait a while, I will sign."



He looked at me, mixed feelings in his eyes, just like mine. As I hang up my coat, I keep repeating to myself "You cannot cry, you cannot cry..." my eyes hurt terribly, but I refused to let tears come out from there. After I hung up my coat, hubby's eyes stared fixed at my bulging tummy.



I smiled, walked over to the coffee table and pulled the paper towards me. Without even looking at what it says, I signed my name on it and pushed the paper to him. "LD, are you pregnant?" Since mother's accident, this is the first time he spoke to me. I could not control my tears any further and they fell like raindrops.



I said: "Yes, but its ok, you can leave now." He did not go, in the dark, we sat, facing each other. Hubby slowly moved over me, his tears wet the blanket. In my heart, everything seems so far away, so far that even if I sprint, I could never reach them. I cannot remember how many times he repeated "sorry" to me. I had originally thought that I would forgive him, but now I can't.



In the western restaurant, in front of that girl, that cold look in his eyes, I will never forget, ever. We have drawn such deep scars in each other's heart. For me, it's unintentional; for him, totally intentional. I had been waiting for this moment of reconciliation, but I realized now, what had gone past is gone forever and could not repeated.



Other than the thought of the baby inside me that would bring some warmth to my heart, I am totally cold towards him, I no longer eat anything he buys for me, I don't take any presents from him and I stopped talking to him. From the moment I signed on that piece of paper, marriage and love had vanished from my heart.



Sometimes, hubby will try to come into the bedroom, but when he walks in, I will walk out to the living room. He had no choice but to sleep in mother's room. At night, from his room, I can hear light sounds of groaning, I kept quiet.

This used to be his trick; last time, whenever I ignore him, he would fake illness and I will surrender and find out what is wrong with him, he would then grab me and laugh.

He has forgotten that last time I cared for him and am concerned because there was love, but now, what is there between us? Hubby's groaning came on and off continuing but I continuously ignored him.



Almost everyday, he would buy something for the baby, infant products, children products and books that kids like to read. Bags and bags of it stacked inside his room till it is full. I know he is trying to use this to reach out to me, but I am no longer moved by his actions. He has no choice but to lock himself in his room and I can hear his typing away on his computer keyboard, maybe he is now addicted to web surfing but none of that matters to me anymore.

It was sometime towards the end of spring in the following year, one late night, I screamed because of a sudden stomach pain, hubby came rushing into the room, its like he did not change and sleep, and had been waiting for this moment. He carried me and ran down the stairs, stopped a car, holding my hand very tightly and kept wiping the sweat off my brow, throughout the journey to the hospital. Once we reached the hospital, he carried me and hurried into the delivery suite.

Lying on the back of his skinny but warmth body, a thought crossed my mind: In my lifetime, who else would love me as much as he did? He held the delivery suite door opened and watch me go in; his warm eyes caused me to manage a smile at him despite my contraction pain. Coming out of the delivery room, hubby looked at our son and me, eyes tear with joy and he kept smiling. I reached out and touched his hand. Hubby looked at me, smiling and then he slowly collapsed onto the floor. I cried out for him in pain... He smiled, but without opening that tired eyes of his...

I had thought that I would never shed any tear for him, but the truth is, I have never felt a deeper pain cutting through my body at that moment. Doctor said that by the time hubby discovered he had liver cancer, it was already in terminal stage and it was a miracle that he managed to last this long. I asked the doctor when he first discovered he had cancer.

Doctor said about 5 months ago and consoled me saying: "Prepare for his funeral." I disregarded the nurse's objection and rushed home, I went into his room and checked his computer, and a suffocating pain hitsme.

Hubby's cancer was discovered 5 months ago, his groaning was real, and I had thought that... the computer showed over 200 thousand words he wrote for our son: "Son, just for you, I have persisted, to be able to take a look at you before I fall, is my biggest wish now... I know that in your life, you will have many happiness and maybe some setbacks, if only I can accompany you throughout that journey, how nice would it be. But daddy now no longer has that chance. Daddy has written inside here all the possible difficulties and problems you may encounter during your lifetime, when you meet with these problems, you can refer to daddy's suggestion....

Son, after writing these 200 thousand words, I feel as if I have accompanied you through life journey. To be honest, daddy is very happy.

Do love your mother, she has suffered, she is the one who loves you most and also the one who loves me most..." From play school to primary school, to secondary, university, to work and even in dealing with questions of love, everything big and small was written there.

Hubby has also written a letter for me: "My dear, to marry you is my biggest happiness, forgive me for the pain I have caused you, forgive me for not telling you my illness, because I want to see you be in a joyful mood waiting for the arrival of our baby...My dear, if you cried, it means that you have forgiven me and I would smile, thank you for loving me...

These presents, I'm afraid I cannot give them to our son personally, could you help me to give some of them to him every year, the dates on what to give when are all written on the packaging... " Going back to the hospital, hubby is still in coma.

I brought our son over and place him beside him. I said: "Open your eyes and smile, I want our son to remember being in the warmth of your arms..." He struggled to open his eyes and managed a weak smile. Our son still in his arms was happily waving his tiny hands in the air. I press the button on the camera and the sound of the shutter rang through the air as tears slowly rolled down my face....

A fatal misunderstanding and the person who loves me the most in this world is gone forever..."Cruel misunderstandings one after another disrupted the blissful footsteps to our family. Our originals intend of having Mother enjoy some quiet and peaceful moments in her remaining years with us went terribly wrong as destiny's secret is finally revealed at a price, every thing became too late.".........

This is a true story. LEARNING POINT - DO NOT EVER HOLD ON TO OFFENCES!!!
I am totally speechless, this story brought tears to my eyes as I read through each line eager to know what would happen next. It truly showed the devastating power of grudges and anger! Simple humility and communication would have resolved most of the problems in that story, as well as patience....

This story has really touched my heart and life as a whole and it has stimulated a paradigm shift. Though it is very sad, it is also very refreshing to know that from today, I can consciously start to live a life free of grudge. People please let’s live a life devoid of grudge. Communication is key. Take greatest care and live on

Have you BE-d?

Have you BE-d?

Effectively we still have 20160 minutes more to go ...

Sometimes I wonder …

Sometimes I wonder what will my life be like if I’m still SAA (Single And Available)?
Will my parents be worry about me and hope that I’ll find someone to take care of me?
Will my parents hope that someday I’ll be like my friends who are in relationships and perhaps getting married?
Will my parents be very cool about it and think it’s alright for a lady to stay single, have the freedom and is financially OK?

I wonder if my mummy is still around, will she like any other mum (or most mums) who shed tears on her daughter’s wedding day?
I wonder what kind of grandma my mum will be like?
I wonder how happy my mum will be seeing her grandchildren?

Sometimes I just wonder and but stop at that because I know there are something in life we will not know the answers.
Even if there are answers, these answers will be far from us.
Even if we know the answers, these answers may not be answers to our questions.
I've learnt that we just have to move on in life.

are we doing it right?

A wise investor is not only one who uses information and makes correct informed investment decisions but also one who manages his/her spending well.

Come to think of it, there's really no point in having a very good investment plan that fails to take off all just because we don't have the necessary amount of money to actually start investing.

On the other hand, having a good investment portfolio that can generate good returns also serve no purpose if we deplete our cash by spending unneccesarily.

Investing needs money but in order to get that money, we have to manage whatever (little or much) we have wisely.
The earlier we start to save, the more we have to invest ... this statement has never been truer as each year goes by in my life.

If you are reading this, start now ... it's better late than never.
There's always 'tomorrow' when it comes to start saving to invest ... but we'll soon realised that for every tomorrow that has passed, there are prices to pay.

chicken balls

wishbone's favourite food .... chicken ball(s)

when she's not busy eating flowers from our garden

why are there so many bills to pay?

so many at times, I feel that when we wanted to save more ... then there's more bills to pay ... more things that crop up that require us to spend more money on.
Wonder whether you feel the same too?

However, judging from current situation, there's really not much use lamenting and ranting ... I've figured that it's much more beneficial putting my energy and effort to better use.

So, here's a toast to every one of us who's currently on saving mode ... or who plan to hatch a plan to save a little more (even as little as RM1 more a day)

I know this sound cliched ... but a journey of a thousand steps always begins with a single step. (and sikit sikit lama lama jadi bukit .... but just don't take too long)
