Then and Now.....part 1
"Anybody can be happy in the state of comforts, ease, health, pleasure and joy. But if one will be happy and contented in the time of hardship, trouble and prevailing diseases, it is the prove of Nobility "
Let's go back to 17 years ago then and now...
Then - we spent our night in low cost house in klang, we were happy, we were together, we played board games, we talked, I used to just lazed around while they sang for me while Grete and Prema did their homework.
Now - we fly around the world, we are in every corner of the world. we are still happy but
hardy together. I miss them very much especially their singing.
Then - Remember the first night I did Cosway, when I came back with RM2000/- sales, we took turn to count the money, the excitement we had ?
Now ? Well, Lani and Zena told me not to say that we are rich but I am rich although I never have money in the bank but my pocket is never empty.
Then - we can afford only one mango a week and I had to slice it and fed them one by one,
nobody should have a bigger slice, it won't be fair then
Now - we buy mango by crate but unless someone peel and slice it, nobody would take the
trouble to eat it.
Some time I wish we are still in No. 4 Jalan Sembiling and living the simple life but it was just a thought. I would never want to exchange anything for our life now. I am happy THEN and I am happy NOW too
To all of you, my daughters, can you remember anything else that you like to add in ?

Hi ee....very sweet post!! Hows vienna?
i remember you working all the time. Florist during the day and tombolla at nights. You worked very hard for us to be where we are now. Yet, you were still always there for us. Well, for me anyway.
I will email you and all the che ches about the results of the ct scan. It's not too good. But it's just a small thing. So dont worry too much. I'm fine and i'll be fine.
Love you very much and missing you even more!!
Titita!
so sweet... so "kan tong"
Yes mummy, who can forget our rendition of Raindrops on Roses - with full actions and all. As you said, life was tough but happy then as is NOW. I like now better because there is 7 more kids (grandkids to you) to add to the laughter and tears. Love you. Fay
