Time for a break.

Yes, it's time for a break and the best way to relax is to travel. Traveling is my favorite but it has to be on a non-peak time. Or else I would be bombarded by the boss!

This time I didn't plan to travel but I have to do it for the sake of my girl. The boss as usual refused to leave his nest. So I who is always ever ready to be on the move has the benefit. 

I'm going to attend my girl's graduation. How time flies! She has finished her course and she wants to come back for good. If I were her, I would definitely stay put and would never ever come back. But my life was different. I wanted to study abroad but my family couldn't afford it.

Well, at least  now I have the chance to travel but on my very own expense. My kids are considered lucky as I would pay on their behalf too. Guess I need to save more money. I had used up a lot of my savings. 

Anyway, I'm happy in what I'm doing. I don't mind spending on travels. In future my pension could help me in my life even if no one is going to support me.

Thank God I was a government servant..

So here's wishing all my friends the best of health and happiness. Take care..

    There are many reasons people save money. One portion for saving that is definitely for sure. As for the rest, those people who love food - sure don't mind to dine at fine dining places. Some women will spend much higher expenses on cosmetics and beauty products. And there are people love to travel too - save money and go travel wherever they are affordable.

    All things considered, Malaysia is a great country to live and I think your daughter is being wise and practical to want to come home. Frankly, I wouldn't live anywhere else in the whole wide world.

    Bon voyage, Wenn! And for how long will we be missing you? :D

    I had the chance to stay on in US with job offers but my brother forced me to come home!!! Idiot!

    Well your daughter loves her family more and her decision to return has some unknown reasons sometimes like she has to meet her future Mr Right in Malaysia. That was my case that I had to come home in order to meet my wife!!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
