11.27pm Sunday 31 December 2017
How surprised I am to enter my own blog for the 1st time in 2017 !!!
Too preoccupied with personal problems lately that I kept procrastinating updating my blog time n time again until a few minutes ago...
Panic strickened because I have forgotten how to write a new post. 😱😱😱
Daughter said, " Ma, you have to sign in first"... Again, frantically searching for the password...
Syukur Alhamdullah, back in business...🤗🤗🤗
So, where do I begin ? Maybe the good, the bad and the ugly should be the guideline.
The Good :
Syukur Alhamdulillah. I am still allowed to breath on this earth. I still have my beloved family to cherish through thick n thin...😍😍😍.
In this golden age, I am able to do as I please within my own space. Spending time with my beautiful hibiscus, orchids, geese, cats n fishes.
The Bad :
Suddenly, in the 2nd half of 2017, I am faced with the reality that both my parents have become senile.... Unable to be left on their own... They need supervision 24/7. The schdule that I helped to set up where the 9 siblings take turn to take care of their wellfare seems inadequate...
The Ugly:
The one thing that I considered the most ugly of 2017 is the politiccal situation in My beloved Malaysia

Goodbye 2016 Part 2
Chaichien 2016 Part 2
Hmm...
Did not get to finish Part 2 in 2016.😝
Anyway, let me continue with...
The TV
TV came into my life when I was preaty young. My family could not afford a set. So I could be found leaning on the door of our neighbour's or squating by it... Come to think of it, shameless act of a little girl...😝😛😜.
I love dramas, movies, documentaries, news... Watchng from black and white to HD throughout my life and will go on till my last breath , I guess...
So what did I get from TV in 2016 ?
Emotional therapy from all the Malay dramas for one. Excitement, investigative n forensic knowledge from CSI, Law and Order, Da Vinci Code to name a few. Updates on local n international news. Travelling to distant lands by watching documentaries... This is the only mean to statisfy my travelling bug ever since both my knees succumbed to injuries sustained from sport years back n from gardening accident with ladder recently...😪😪😪.
Btw. I don't watch ghost stories...they give me nightmares 😁
So ' The Idiot Box' some called it, occupies a big space in my life... And I love it.... with no regret.😍😍😍
I always wonder, why people kept asking me am I not bored after becoming YB- Yang Bersara ?
For me. 24 hours is never enough... That is the reason why I sleep little though fully aware of the
health hazard it brings. Especially for a cancer survival like me. 😝
Anyway, back from a little digression...
What else does 2016 offer me ?
1. Experience in riding LRT and MRT.
An LRT station is situated a stone throw away from my USJ house.
So whenever we go to USJ, hubby and I would take the train with our senior citizen cards and went places... Sometimes, my daughter would join us.
Only last week, hubby and I took the train up to Putra Height Interchange Station. Hopped on the Ampang Line and went to check out TBS, the big bus terminal in Bandar Tasek Selatan. I was there
before but this time it's different. Without traffic hussle and in the comfort of the train, I made it there with the knowledge that my next trip by bus from the kampung house to the USJ house would be
easy without hussle, Inn Sya Allah...👍👍👍
Experience with the newly operational MRT was another story....
We took the LRT to the KL Central. After asking for direction from the info counter, we waited for RapidKL bus at the stop outside. The hussle began.
The bus arrived after 15 minutes and the crowd had gathered.
The bus driver opened only the front door for the full capacity passenger to get down. After that free for all. Then he realized n opened the 2nd door. The bus was overloaded...😣
Instead of Semantan Station, the driver took us further to Pusat Bandar Damansara without making any announcement.😡
The MRT long train was full. Guessed it's filled with curios people like us. Moreover, the ride is free
till end of Jan 2017..☺️. There was an elderly Chinese man with a cloth bag on his shoulder kept asking us where is the next big towm along the route. He had seen KL n wanted to visit another big town. Could not understand much of his bahasa, we told him maybe he would like to see Damansara
Utama...
We got down at Mutiara Damansara Station. Had kopi o peng at Cineleusure Damansara b4 proceeding to The Curve n kater IKEA n Ikano. By then it was raining dogs n cats.
To go to the MRT station is not feasible. So my daughter googled for alternative.
We waiten for 1 1/2 hour to board a shuttle bus to take us from Ikano to Kelana Jaya LRT Station.
From there onward life was easy. We got home dead tired...😝 Syukur Alhamdulillah.
Maybe, when the MRT route is connected to the KL Central with some covered walkway built at strategic places, then the MRT ride would be fine. Inn Sya Allah.
Great exoerience there. Thankyou to the government for the infrastructure.
2. The Ugly side of Malaysians on the home front.
- don't seem to be able to count one's blessing
- believe hook n sinker in everything posted on the net n shared without thinking
- slandering is normal n fine by them
-never give a thought to the welfare of the nation when bad-mouthing her
- etc.
So sad...😪😪😪
Well Sayonara 2016 and hello 2017. May God bless us all with health, happiness, longevity, wealth n prosperity and bless Malaysia with peace, stability, prosperity and sovereingnity...... Ameen.

Goodbye 2016 Part 1
Chaicien 2016.... Part 1
OMG !!!
I have not penned anything for the whole of 2016 until now. 😬😖😡
What excuse can I offer to appease my superego but the fault of my garden, Face Book, WhatSapp, Twitter or The TV...😜😜😁.
My garden..
On a hot day, it took me more than an hour to water all the plants... Then a few more hours to attend to the weeding, fertilizing, catching the yellow bugs and to admire the blooms.
Actually, I usually start attending to the garden after the normal routine of solat, Quran listening on iPad, loosening n stretching exercises and updating journal....
And that would keep me busy till lunch hour.
I have orchids, Adeniums, bougainvilleas, plants with scented blooms like ( kenanga, Jasmines, roses, Tongking, cempaka telur, kesidang, ), herbs like( pecah beling, belalai gajah, Mahkota Dewa, Hempedu Bumi, Ginseng Jawa, ) etc....
Face Book...
Face booking is done usually on my iPad. Now that lucky me have received a Samsung J mobile for my birthday present, face booking is everywhere in the garden when I take a breather from gardening.... Anyway, I must admit that I have slowed down somewhat towards the end of the year.😁. Why ? Can't come up with a good reason right now...
WhatSapp
Ever since I learn to use this app. early this year, my life has been real busy and good I guess. My sis has started a group for our siblings, though not all involved, it is great. It brings us closer. With 2 oversea and the rest in different parts of the country, we keep in touch everyday.
Now that our aged parents have started to have problem with their short-term memory, I do my best to call them daily and when needed I will update my siblings on their status. We will try to solve the problem as good as we could.... ☺️
Twitter
Hmm....
This app. sees me taking on a different character. I should say a more political characteristic. 😎
Some how, I, in my own small and simple way could not stand all those Holier than Thou, shameless, mudah lupa, slandering, never count their blessing, never see any good happening in the country, inhuman, never give credit where credt dues, End justifies Means.... kind of tweets. Based on facts that I gathered from following certain blogs, news over the year, I would not let them go uncommented. I know it is not much but it is better than letting them get away with 'murder'.
My daughter used to tease me that wow, her old mum has got such big fire in her....😝 Time and again, I would tell her, I love Malaysia and I will never allow anybody, be it local or foreign to do harm to her... And I would reminnd her to always count her blessing with what God has bestowed upon us and our nation. Never forget what we have learnt from our numerous trips to other countries... We are very much blessed.... Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Sayonara to 2015
Goodbye, chaichien and selamat tinggal to the year 2015...
Less than 8 hours to go and it shall be Sayonara to 2015...😪😔😳
What has it been like? Has it been good, bad or ugly ?
It has been good for us Malaysian.
We are still standing tall on our beloved soil.
We are still able to wake up to a day as a free person to get on with our routine, chose to have nasi lemak, capati or toast & scrambled eggs for breakfast...
We are also free to go to mesjid, church or kuil to fulfill our religious obligation.
We are free to send our children to the school of our choice, be it government or private.
We still enjoy free medical care and basic education...
We are provided with good if not best infrastructures and facilitues to improve our standard of life.
We, from the lower income group are given all forms of help and subsidy to ease our life against the rising cost of living.
It has been bad for us Malaysians.
Many Malaysians died in road accidents due to recklessness and disrespect for the rules and regulations.
Many Malaysians drown due to ignorance and lack of sense of safety.
Many Malaysians succumed to all sorts of life style related illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart attack...
Many young Malaysians declared bankrupts due to uncontrolled credit cards spending.
Many Malaysians seem to have lost the ability to count their blessing. Always complain and bad mouth own country. Nothing seem to be good in their eyes.
It has been Ugly for us Malaysians.
Many Malaysians have lost the sense of decency to be honest and behave without integrety, slandering others without batting an eyelid, giving and taking bribe become part of life...
Many Malaysians especially politicians always employ the tactic ' The end justifies the means'. They went as far as selling the country's sovereignty to outsiders to achieve their goals.
Many Malaysians are so obsessed with certain personality and willing to swallow all line and sinker without giving a thought to the welfare of the people and the nation.
Many Malaysians have lost sense of humanity. Lack of compassion n empathy towards the unfortunates. Eg the Rohingya refugees......
For the approaching 2016, may we be blessed with more good things, less bad ones and none of the ugly ones. Inn Sya Allah.
May Allah SWT give us good health, happiness, prosperity, longevity and sense of humanity. Ameen.
Happy 2016 to one and all.

Human and Humanity
Wednesday 20 May 2015
On 16 May 2015, in response to The Rakyat Post , "Boat people at our door- The dilemma right now is whether Malaysia should allow them in or turn them away...., I commented:
" Please don't turn them away. Just look at them, men, women, children n the aged. Helpless n hopeful. Believe me, I have seen the same look n plight on the faces of the Vietnamese boat people on the Kelantan river in the 70's... Save them first..... For humanity sake. Work it out among the ASEAN Leaders... Call for emergency sitting if you must. The world is big enough for everyone if each one just learn to share a little....."
On the same day, I received 2 comments.
One from Teddy Babai Juel who wrote, " Yes bring it to your home and stay with your children n cucu see what happen ??? Would you like that???" He received 2 likes. One from Catherine Henry Tabor and one from June Listiani Admodisastro.
Another comment is from Alvin CW who posted, " voice of reason and empathy amongst a chorus of hate and misguided reasoning. Thank you Kartina I hope more would voice the same."
My reply to both was as follows... " Thanks Alvin CW for sharing the same compassion. Teddy Babai Juel, may God bless you..."
On 18 May, Catherine Henry Tabor posted, " Bring them all to your house and don't use our tax payers money..we have enough problem with GST and all other sheet with illegals here in Malaysia." She received one like from June Listiani Admodisastro.
I replied, " God bless you Catherine Henry Tabor."
The whole episode sends a shock wave down my spine...
Just like Alvin said, ".......amongst a chorus of hate and misguided reasoning....." And his wall quotation says it all, " I see Human but not Humanity".
I kept searching for the reasons why these people are so bitter, hateful, unreasonable, lack of compassion and .....
Judging from their face book walls, they belong to the younger generation. From their postings, I am very sure they are 'educated'. So is it nature or nurture that make them the way they are ? But I believe in the Islamic teaching that everyone is borne innocence so it must be the nurture... Is it the fault of the family, the school or the society ?

Saying goodbye to 2014
7.35am Wednesday 31 December 2014
Again I am confirmed guilty of being a year beginning and year end blogger.!.!.!
There is too much anger, hatred, pain, anguish and suffering that dotted 2014.
Home front, we have,
- The disappearance of MH370. It has been 280 days..
- The shooting down of MH17. After 170th days, the perpetrators are still free....
- The unprecedented flooding of East coast states, Kelantan, Trengganu n Pahang and Perak......
Which displaced almost 200k people, killed 24 n left certain areas like the aftermath of tsunami.
- The unending cyber fights that resorts to ugly, unmoral dan most time despicable outburst...
International front, we have,
- The sinking of the Korean ferry.
- The earthquake in Bohol and the onslaught of typoon Yolanda on central Phillipines
- The genocide in Palestine.
- The merciless killings in many parts of the world... Syria, Myanmar, Pakistan....
- The crashing of Air Asia Indonesia QZ8501 on Sunday 28 December
- The uncertainty of the world Economy.......
As of this moment, I can't think of any joyous events...... Except my happy times with my family...Such as
- Chinese New Year celebration with my parents, siblings n their families... Visiting my elders in my birth kampung.
- A visit to my sister n her family in Auckland with my other sister from Salado, Texas. We had a great time n took lots of pictures
- The Hari Raya Aidil Fitri n Aidil Adha. For this year, these two occasions were less merry because of the passing of my mother-in-laws.
- The Cuti-cuti Malaysia to Sabah, Sarawak and Langkawi.
- A surprise short visit from my sister n her hubby from Salado right before the big flood....
I thank Allah SWT for my happy momemts n I redha with the unhappy ones....
And hope to cross over to 2015 with a full recovery for my right knee from injury sustained in the fall from a ladder 1 n 1/2 month ago which left me unable to walk properly. Thus, reduced the quality in my daily activities.....
I pray 2015 will bring more peace n harmony to the world at large n to my beloved homeland.
Lastly, may my family n I be blessed with all the goodness in life... Ameen

Syukur Alhamdulillah, My 1st Born Is 40 Today.
12.44am Thursday 02 January 2014
Just texted my 1st born to wish him Happy Birthday...
Fourty years ago, he was borned at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital in Johor Baharu. To be exact, it was 12.59am 02.01.1974.
As he was due on the 29th December 1973, hubby got me admitted earlier because we were inexperient n not willing to risk rushing when the labour started....
Being admitted early was not really a good idea.. I had to endure the screaming n wailing of women who could not endure the pain. I remembered cryng silently during the night.
Come January 1st 1974, there was no sign of of him wanting to see the world... So the doctor induced my labour. Clad in hubby's blue pajamas top, I endured the excruciating pain for many hours. The nurse gave me an injection to lessen the pain, I guessed... Finally, Syukur Alhamdulillah he arrived. He has my look n I did not need the name tag to recognise that he is mine.
The parents of a baby girl born on the same day, took a picture of me holding my bundle of joy.... And that is the only picture I had with him in the hospital.
He had jaundice. So we had to stay back a few extra days. I had to sun him every morning....
Then we brought him home n began the journey of bringing him up....
