Tun Fatimah Hashim

Tun Fatimah Hashim,Najib & Rosmah

A lot has been written on and about Tun Fatimah Hashim whose husband's Tan Sri Abdul Kadir's a former Law Attorney General at one time. I can't help writing about her after seeing her picture on the front page of today's BPost,(16th Jan) browsing through a recipe book which costs RM200/- in aid of orphans and single mothers' funds. The cookery book contains favourite recipes ever enjoyed by 4 previous prime ministers. Since she is Faridah's mother, I want to share with you what I know about her. What I do know about Tun Fatimah Hashim is the fact that her Serunding Daging's the BEST in the world because each time Faridah came back from her short holidays from KL,she never failed to share the Serunding Daging with me made by her mother. We ate the serunding with bread...1 to 2 loaves at one sitting. Whenever I see or think of serunding daging, my mind would flash back to the time the two of us ate the serunding daging and bread in my bedsitter. Yummy! Wonder if her mother's Serunding Daging's recipe is one of the favourites ever enjoyed by the 4 previous prime ministers.

What resolutions? Aiyaa..THAT ONE,lah!

What did you ask me about? Sorry,what was the question? Oh,I see,I get you! Have I kept any of the so called new year resolutions? More like,"Have I broken any of the new year resolutions?
Frankly,it is no fun trying to live within my means. I have become like the people I always criticised all these years...a stingy cow!..a cheapskate! It is true what the Bible says.."It is more blessed to give than to receive." Does it mean that those who are always on the receiving end are less blessed?
There comes a time whereby it is almost a pity to do the receiving all the time...to be on the receiving end. That indicates how helpless one is when one receives all the time and never gives.
The part about trying not to care so much about other people... I miss the joy,satisfaction & the love when I am being insensitive to others and my surrounding. Like the other day, when I went to see Belayong in hospital,so helpless & the expressions on his children's faces got me thinking.... it could also happen to me. I could be the one lying on the bed with my eyes opened not knowing and unawared whether I was surrounded by my loved ones. I must break my resolution of pretending not to care when I really care. The 'angel' in me is back. The 'devil' in me must GO! GONE!
Create a new heart in me O Lord & renew a steadfast spirit within me
Do not cast me from your sight,nor take the Holy Spirit from me
Grant to me the joy of your salvation & sustain me spiritually,mentally & physically in my endeavour. AMEN.


Like the lanterns & the cherry blossoms? RM28.90 for a pair of the lanterns at Siong Lee's & the Cherry Blossoms costs RM3.90 per stalk.

Wish list fulfilled but respectfully declined.............TQ Ani

This morning, a fairy godmother in the form of Judy sent a text to me asking for my bank a/c no. Why would she want that,I asked myself?.....You see, she only discovered my blog a few days ago despite being one of the earliest people that I gave the URL to. She must have read about my lamentation and so did fairy goddaughter in London in the form of Peony. I smelled something "$$$$$$" (sorry no pound sign here) & my guess was right when Judy called this evening. Judy said that Peony wanted to get me that holiday to New Zealand,after reading the incident where I was fatally 'shot' by a sub machine gun/M16 that was/were fully loaded with ammunitions that went traat..tra..tat..tat..ta...taaat..tat. BOOOOMBB! Kena bomb....I survive..I'll survive..Haks..hak..ahak. (cough..too much smoke from the gun powder)

Ani, thanks a trillion for the kind thought /gesture of wanting to grant my wish come true. It's just typical of him to go on a shooting spree first,then cooling period & don't be surprised if we come knocking at your door one fine day.( He did that when I suggested going to Perth last year & he ended having a good time ..more than I enjoyed my holidays.) That's of course another wishful thinking. But anyway,it's not as bad as it sounds...just trying to practise my written English,to make the blog more interesting to read,at D's expense. He's watching "Just For Laughs" on tv..he won't be laughing if he gets to read what I've written. ha..ha.. Good Night (It's 10.21pm) God Bless. Thanks Again! Save the money for the"yum Cha" & the egg tarts at Chinatown. Keep my fingers crossed.........
