Zaim's splashing time at home.

Zaim loves his bath time. Just for the record I took this, around June 27th, he was 13 months. I have been meaning to update this, but just did not find the time, since I was really really busy then. Before I upload the latest weekend photos, I think I should go back and update pictures in the right sequence, cause since then, there are a few developments as far as Zaim is concerned. Notice, how long his hair is here, how it can be parted and the fringe, (the fact that there is a fringe is bad enough) it also reaches his eyebrows. Apologise if the picture of the toilet bowl, erks your view. I was not in charge of the camera. I was bathing him, and had enlisted Nayli to help take the pictures, so since the instruction was, "Hurry, take some pictures of adik, before the bath water gets cold!". She was just following instruction. I forgot to mention, try to not take the toilet bowl! She was concentrating to take the cutest poses that the brother could spontaneously, and obliviously give. So here they are...

In memory of MJ, Gone too soon...

We are still in mourning, hubby and I. Managed to catch the memorial service repeat last night on Channel V. I was moved to tears, I actually couldn’t control my tears. Sobbing away till my head ached!!! Honestly!

I cried when this guy said to the kids how their father was not a strange man, it was how people treated him that was strange!! How true!!

The best was of course Brooke Shield's eulogy. I quote from the web here: In her moving tribute to her friend, entertainer Michael Jackson, at the Michael Jackson Memorial in Los Angeles on July 7, 2009, actor Brooke Shields quoted from the novel The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Expurey. After saying that Michael Jackson was often referred to as "the King," she indicated that what he reminded her of was The Little Prince. Here is the passage she read from the novel:

"What moves me so deeply, about this sleeping prince...is his loyalty to a flower--the image of a rose shining within him like a flame within a lamp, even when he's asleep. And I realized he was even more fragile than I had thought. Lamps must be protected. A gust of wind can blow them out."

Isn't this so true??? I think so. Sob! Sob!!

She continued reading from the story a bit later in her remarks:

"Eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart. What's most important is invisible."
She said that her friend, Michael Jackson, always looked at everything with his heart.

For those out there who might be interested in reading the book and/or watching a version of the story in movie form, The Little Prince has been adapted to film. A live-action film was released in 1974 directed by Stanley Donen. An animated TV series also exists; its pilot aired in 1982.

Even Usher had difficulty singing Gone too Soon...

After the memorial service, we also managed to catch on MTV, MTV presents Michael Jackson: The King of Pop, which featured all his music videos from his debut till his final concert. That guy was brilliant right till his last day on earth.

He is THE Artist of the Millennium and he is Gone too Soon. Love you MJ and I know God must Love you more. God Bless!

Dear Yaya,

Thank you very much for having us at your "Rimbun Soraz" debut. It's lovely. Looking forward to more invites to your lovely home. If you wish that I should not be publicising the pics of your house do let me know I shall take them out immediately, though it's really much too lovely to be kept a secret.

I love your living & dining hall. the tall windows all around is such a brilliant idea.

Zarif actually ate something for a change. delicious Soto by the way.

Nadd and me

finally, managed to track you down for a picture, so when's the next makan2?

Have you heard about this "Running Mom"?

If you are like me, stuck in a department of 12, with a quarter of them involved in either Marathon, Triathlon, Iron Man, Power Man whatever events that involve insanely lengthy amount of time running, swimming and biking either in one event or not, you would not have missed knowing the fact that there was this Standard Chartered Kl Marathon last Sunday. Of course these 3 guys, out of 4 in my department participated! Jamil in the 42 km, Zailan in 21km and Azlan the 10 km. I bet had Dzuong not just had a baby, and the first one at that, he might have also done the 5km one at least.

Anyhow, since none of these guys have a blog, at least not that I'm aware of, I'm sorry I cannot direct you to their blogs. However, I wish to direct you to a Lady Runner, whom I got to know from Zailan and from time to time, I would check on her blog to see some interesting updates. She has blogged beautifully about her experience last Sunday that I am compelled to share it with all who cares to read especially to those, like me could never ever fathom to do whatever that she does, run in marathons i.e to run that far that long. Not once in a lifetime, but many many times in many many events!!! She is quite a popular blogger/running-mom and has been featured in newspaper articles too. So check it out... Running Mom Blog.

Oh by the way, well done to Jamil, Zailan and Azlan for completing the run and still made it to work on Monday!!!
