If I can write you a poem
I would like to say how much I miss you….
But I am not a poet, nor I am a writer…
I keep the memories I have of you
in my thoughts and in my prayers
You are gone, but you are never forgotten
I’ll always remember that special smile
I’ll always remember you because
There’ll never be another one to replace you in my heart

This is the original porch. We took down all the original stone pillars and changed into new ones. At this stage, I wasn’t sure what Din was going to do. 
Hubby and I went to kangkar pulai to get the bali stones.
When I left for NZ, this was ready.
I was in NZ when Din and his men did the tiling. Design of the tiling was my idea.
I told hubby I wanted this wood work. I had to add another RM2k for this.
Choice for the wall lights…we bought 4 of this.
Hubby’s idea to cover the ceiling with woodwork. Because it was his idea, I didn’t have a clue how much it cost.

We imported a second hand car into Malaysia recently and I felt that the waiting and the process of giving it a Msian “birth certificate” to be rather tiring. Not to mention, the amount you have to fork out from your savings. Thank god, we have our savings which have already depreciated as a result of this.
Zul & I with the proud new owner of Eddy
Matt walking to his new car
This one I hit my garage…..
& that one I hit the trolley parking area at Chartwell…am I a bad driver or what???
That one belongs to hubby…and kecantikan paras rupa….
Eddy I love you….hopefully you’ll find a new owner soon…
A wonderful car used by us when we first stepped foot on this land. Never had any problem with this one…though it’s a 1995 edition, but this is even better than my 2006 Honda Civic. If only I can take you home Eddy….
It’s time for house cleaning. Effective 30 March, we’re letting this house go. Hubby made it a point that we cleaned the house just like when we first entered the house. So far, the master bedroom, corridor, living room and dining room were all done…very thoroughly…(well actually hubby did most of the part…..), and he being a clean freak made everything spotless clean!!
22 Endiburgh Road was our first home in NZ. Right after we landed in Hamilton, we stayed at the very lousy motor home, actually not so lousy la…but lousy to my taste…We took 2 rooms (the ruling in NZ is that all kids need to have their own beds) and paid more than $1000. The rooms weren’t that dear, but perhaps I was too careless or maybe too tired that first night or too overwhelmed by the whole idea of people receiving us here, I lost $1000. I realized the next morning that the windows to our room were opened and “all hell break lose”!
After 2 nights at the Motor Home, Angela from Kuching let us rent her house for 200 a week, which was very reasonable. Angela was really really kind enough to lend us heaps of her stuffs for us to start a living…(Terhutang budi with Angela la ni…) After a week, we found this house put up for rent for 270 a week. At first there was just this one house on a piece of bare land, but after a while, there are some nice plants & a garage built for us. Marian & Ernie are really nice toward us, very considerate, very motherly & fatherly to us….
