It not only rains..................

...it pours. Each time there's an early morning call(before 6am) or late night call(midnight) I knew that it's going to be the announcement of a death. Since last Saturday morning at 3am,while still in Kuching, I heard the beeping tone of my phone and quickly read it. It was a text from my sister in-law to say that her maternal grandpa had just passed away in Lundu. Another two more text messages arrived to bring in the bad news. May Aki Lundu rest in peace.
Yesterday morning's early phone call was no exception. The call was to let us know that a relative,who had been bedridden for more than 10 years, after a stroke,was finally called by God to rest with Him Eternally.
His son,in his 30s, last week,was rushed from Miri City Medical Centre to Timberland Medical Centre,Kuching because all of a sudden he could not move his body. I don't know the latest news but let's pray that God in His Mercy will grant Humphry a speedy recovery so that he can walk again and serve the Lord.
Then another relative whom we visited when we were in Kuching, is also bedridden. Last year she was dancing away during a wedding,lecturing at UPM Serdang & sometime in the middle of this year,she had a mild stroke,now,she can't even walk. Again ,let's us pray for Gen so that she gets well soon and be able to walk again.

For orang Samu in London who needs some cheering up....

Just finished decorating the Xmas tree

6th Dec 2007

I spent the whole of yesterday 'spring cleaning' the house,from putting the carpets to dry under the sun,washed the curtains & cushion covers and put them/hang them again. I managed to move a display cabinet with a little help from a helper. I can hardly walk nor stand now. I finally decorated the xmas tree which's long overdue...you see, for those of you who know me, I normally put up my xmas tree in late November. I guess it goes with age..the older I get, the longer it takes me to get up to decorate the tree. Some Christmases past, I had Ree,Mang & Annie to do the deco. Initially ,I wanted a silver & gold theme,but decided not to, and just made do therefore with available ornaments there's in the big black garbage bag.
I'll have to go now...my back aches.
