Happy New Year to the Indians Worldwide

Happy New Year, Puttandu Vaazhtukal,Vishu Ashamsagal, Ugadhi Wishes, Vaisakhi Wishes to All..

Posting pictures is becoming a very 'A' task, which explains the only one pic..
Just like how sending sms is, Especially sending it to all near & dear on a festival day..
Which explains why I didn't do it yesterday..

Anyway, my prayers and well wishes will always be with you..

Like I said, age is catching up..
N i'm beginning to think like a person from zaman Paleolitik..
Maybe at 40, i'd refuse to use my PC..
At 45, refuse to go to work,
At 50, refuse to walk..
At 60, refuse to move..
Before all that happens, I hope God decides that He's had enough of my living nonsense..

Moral of the story...
Memory fading,
Age catching up..

* 'A' task is for Annoying, Agitating, Aggravating..

Fading..Slowly..

Memory is failing..
Age is catching up...

How now?

Daylight Bribery

Btw, the hubby got me a NEW handphone (It was a bribe anyway, and a li'l of my quiet insistence..)

Coz of course it isn't fair when he gets to change his handphone every 6 months to a year, on the basis that all his handphones do not keep up to his level of expectation & they turn him down by:

Year 2002 - Insisting on going into the washing machine & getting itself washed..

Year 2003 - Losing themselves in a 7-11 outlet..

Year 2004 (2 hp's) - One was getting itself overheated & loses its mind, another simply refused to work..

Year 2005 (2 hp's AGAIN) - N some crap excuses AGAIN..

Year 2006 - Oh, some virus decided to attack his phone in a crowded shopping mall..

Year 2007 - (Damn..) I got him that beautiful thing for VD & few months down the road, it purposely falls down and breaks its own screen, then it can't function in a normal way..bla bla bla..

Year 2008 - Since he was legally bound to me in a constitution called marriage & we (meaning his family members & me)decided via an invisible MoU that he will not purchase any assets without my prior consent/approval, he lost his chance to waste the money.. He did, however, take over his mom's phone (of course using lots of sentimental crap there).. Then he happily spoiled it for her..
Then he comes to UAE & the company (very innocently) gives him a phone to use..

Year 2009 - Now that company handphone is apparently not glam enaf.. So here you go.. ONE more Nokia Xpress Music..with a bribe from his part (I'll get you the same model, sayang.. Then we both use same-same phone)..

Lepas belikan, dia tanya lagi "Ma, wat do I get for buying you the phone ah?"
Apalah aku nak jawab? I said "I'll make u a superb cup of coffee"..

Chronology of events from the time we got into a relationship, provided by:
yours' truly..

What he doesn't know (yet)..
Every new phone he buys from now onwards, I get another of the same model for me too..

Hehe.. very soon will have a collection of handphones la pulak..
(Jan 1,Feb 1..)

Will upload pics later..

Why I dont Blog Anymore..

Coz I hardly ever have the time to do so..

There is so much drama around me (every single day) that it is all so totally unbelievable..

Just to summarize.. People around me are so funny..
That's just about how much I can tell right now..

Like Kak Julia says.. Kalau tension, ketawa je Shuba..

So.. Hahahahahahahaha... To all the crazy happenings around me..

Little Gesture, Untold Joy

Its a shame if i don't post this...

Coz it is an incident that will forever be etched in my memory..N coz i cant find words to describe the feeling when it happened, all I could do was cry.. Tears of a feeling so magical, tears of love & joy..

Last week Monday (23rdh March 2009), was my father-in-law's death anniversary. It has been 7 years since he left us to be with the Lord & till today, he remains very very close to our hearts.. For the great son/husband/father/brother/uncle/friend/person that he was during his lifetime..

For a reason only known to God, I got the news on that particular morning that I'd have to fly back to UAE within the next 2 days.. Till this very second, I dont know why God has sent me here, but I do know that its for a reason..

Anyway, all those closest to him were in different parts of the world on that day (Mom was in Ipoh & she did the prayers there in our house where all his siblings gathered & offered their prayers too. Hubby was in Sandakan & he did his part in the temple. Kalpana chechi & family did their part in Sg Petani,n me..the latest addition to the family offered my prayer at the Shivan temple in Bt Caves- coz I couldnt take leave to go back to Ipoh)..

So, after work, I went to the temple n proceeded to pray at the Vinayagar & Meenachi Amman shrines, then went up to the Shivan temple to make an 'archanai' for Acha (as how I refer to my father-in-law)..

Since it was still early (abt 6.30pm) and a weekday, the temple was not crowded. After praying, I sat down in front of the Shiva Linggam n started chanting some mantras. Then I proceeded to sing the 'Sivapuranam' softly, so as not to disturb the other devotees who were sitting & praying/chatting in the temple at the same time also.

While i was singing, a couple with a son entered the temple. The toddler was about 2-4 years old. The Mother was holding on to his hand and they went to the main shrine to pray.

Then it happened..

After a few seconds, this boy turned & looked at me& smiled, so I smiled back at him while singing.. Then he broke free from his mother's grip & walked towards me..N I thought that he just wants to come near me & listen to what I'm saying.. But, he didnt stop.. He came n knelt down on my lap, hugged me so close & laid his head on my left shoulder.. I was speechless for a moment, but I still continued singing.. He was in that position for at least half a minute, then he got up, kissed both my cheeks, then turned & looked at the Shiva Lingga.. Then, he turned at me, gurgled something in his baby language, carried up both his hands in praying form, then came to me & kissed me again before walking away laughing/ gurgling..

Then, I realised that I was so stunned/ moved by his gesture that I was crying already.. I mean, I never expected a stranger baby to ever do this to me.. I dono, maybe I resembled someone he knew..I just dont know what made him do it, but that warmth n that kiss will always be remembered by me..Even the other devotees at the temple were so shocked that they were throwing me weird glances after that..

But his mother gave me a stare before dragging him away..(Maybe she tot i'm a baby snatcher, i dono)..He even waved & laughed at me before leaving the temple, much to his mom's annoying look..hahaha..

I wish I had someone capture that beautiful moment for me, but since I couldn't, I had to make do with this picture. The scene is still fresh in my head &..my heart..

Home sweet home..Where our heart belong..

In UAQ..

With hubby darling..

N What a magical feeling it is..

Im Off..For a while..

Dear readers n fans (ok, i know its very drama..)

I choose to remain silent over the next couple of months rather than post pathetic blogs that will years later remind me of how dramatic i am these days..

Further updates will be when i can operate my head n heart as per normal..

Just a special note for my hubby:
I miss you so the very much,hubby..
I'm waiting to be with you again, n praying endlessly that He will be kind enough to create some miracles..
Let's go back home to UAQ soon, where our hearts belong..
Love you lots..Eternally..

Dear Umm Al Quwain, Rainbow Towers, Sheikh Abdullah Building etc etc..
I wonder how I've got myself so attached to you just in the short time we were acquainted.. Im waiting to be in your land again, n i miss you truly n deeply..
I know I will cu again, just praying to God that it will be soon..
It's not for the money, nor the status.. Its something else.. Some pure sentiments n love that I cant begin to explain..
I believe God knows what it is, I believe He hears me cries, I believe He will be with us n show us the path..

God bless all..

Adieu for now,
Shubi

Its My Calling..N a miracle it is..

It's Thaipusam again..The one & utmost festival that our entire jing bang of a family look forward to evry year..even more than our birthdays & anniversaries, evn more than Diwali, Onam n whatever nots..

N over the years, we just get closer to Him who is the King of Batu Caves n our hearts..We all so look forward to the chariot procession n despite the mad crowd n some really mad personalities there, we all just love the day, His day..

Just the other day, dearest friend Sulo e-mailed me..just an excerpt of her mail n my reply to her:-

"Dear Shuba,How are you? I hope you are getting along fine in UAE. Its sooo long since I've last spoken to you........When will you be coming down to KL? Do let me know and we could meet up.........8th of February is Thaipusam and as usual.....I'm observing vegeterianism andwould be walking with the chariot. I really miss you.....remember we slept on the staircase in Chowkit......hehehehhehehehe..........Its so funny.....we had fun and at the same time fulfilled what we believed in....Last year I walked with some friends....it was so so boring....and i met your mum halfway.I went back to your hse with your family, had lunch and father sent me to the nearest bus stop. This year I would be walking with my brother....so i guess it wouldn'tbe so bad.....Please do tell me your experiences in UAE and hope life treats you well!!!!!Take care and God Bless.....and Keep in touch!!!Yours truly,Sulocana"

And my reply:-

(...con't) ..N don't remind me abt thaipusam..Its all so hurting to be so damn faraway n God knows how it feels to be in a place with no temples, no culture n no nothing..Yucks.. Hmm, but its all happening for a purpose & I also believe that you can pray n praise Him anywhre, He'll be thre to listen.. So dats how life's goin on here..

To make me feel worse, Thaipusam happens to fall on a sunday, so there'd be hardly any need to fight wt my ex-boss to get some days off (hehe..).. but i knew sulo..I swear i knew.. remember the year we walked together? I somehow knew that it'd be a long time before i walk in that holy procession again..If u remember, I cried my heart out when they were bringing Him into the temple (somehow, i end up crying evry year..dono y..thre's some strong vibration thre that just makes me pour..but then, i cried even more on that particular year 2007- i swear wen i looked at Him, He told me.. "Look at Me and revel in my glory as much as u want,ma..It may be a long time before you see Me in all this glory again..") U knw how heavy my heart was wen i walked away? I rmbr being so angry at Him, thinking dat He is pushing me away, He doesnt want me..dat kinda thing..

Bt sure enaf, i got married end of that year n the dumb people in my fmly said newly-married couples shouldnt walk wt chariot (n i dono y the heck did i listen to such utter rubbish).. n this year, i can't even watch Him on the news.. How so painful..N the worst n the one thing that i can't compromise in my marriage wt my husband is the fact that he wants to spend thaipusam in ipoh evry year n i cant think abt spending it anywhere other than Bt Caves..
Despite the maddening crowd n the way they commercialize the whole affair n evry crap happening thre, let me tell u.. dats whre He lives.. n u can sense it the moment u walk into His territory, u can know it deep in yr soul..Dats whre His home is n that's whre He lives..

Im glad to hear that yr bro is following u this year.. Always feel excited wen a new person joins the procession..Its a wonderful feeling to share n preach His greatness & glory wt another person..Hmm, people will thnk im talking abt a great hunk,but he is a great hunk alright..
Got a remedy for u to beat boredom..Just walk beside the chariot n sing His hymns n songs n chant His name..U'll be surprised that u hardly feel anythng else but peace n serenity.. I've done that many times..

Well,im obsessed wt Lord Murugan n nobody can change that..Hehehe..

N n n..of course i rmbr the whole journey wt u and veni..evrytime i pass jln raja laut,i'd tell hubby abt it.so much so dat if i dont open my mouth, he looks at me n tells me..haha.. beautiful n wonderful memories..

ok then dear..i thnk i've done too much of talking n preaching..u too tc n hv a great year ahead..
n pls do keep in touch. im not too keen on losing contact wt fantastic frens like u n moreover, we have already lost contact for a while aft u left jusco n i do not intend to walk that path again..

miss ya,tc n God bless.. With Regards,Suba

Now, dat email was sent out on the 21st Jan 09, n by no means did i ever imagine that He has made a way for me to be there.. To revel in all His glory..

If this isn't a miracle, then I seriously dont know what is..

My Hunk, this post is entirely for You and YOU only..

*Muruga Saranam*

How this?

Ok, there are some changes of plan and so we are heading back to Malaysia tomorrow, and that's after the longest gap ever in my life w'o me having seen my whole family (5 months 5 days precisely..)..

N it was all so sudden, i knew only yesterday that i need to go back, n i booked our tickets within 2 hours of receiving the news from one of my Directors and i'm leaving within 72 hours of notice and it's just the time i wana be home so badly (that's a diffren post entirely..)..

I'm supposed to be jumping around in joy..
Instead, im feeling all gloomy & depressed..
N im crying to go back..

How this? How this?
