Time really flies and soon school will reopen and it's back to work. Well,to me I have had the privilege to have my grandchild with me and she is my small friend. I am fortunate to have a grandchild at my age to entertain me . I taught her to start her own blog and she sends me emails too.
My close friends had pestered me to organise a trip to Bukit Tinggi this hols and so I did. We chartered a tour van and went up there, stayed and enjoyed singing , dancing and steamboat dinner and breakfast in an apartment, enjoyed the visit to Colmar Village , Japanese Garden and Botanical Garden. One can enjoy the beautiful scenery, colourful flowers, fresh air and peace here. The 10 of us including my grandchild enjoyed ourselves.
Without wasting any time, we came downhill to the hot spring in Sungkai but it was too crowded that we turned away and went to have lunch in Gopeng instead. Then, we visited three beautiful cave temples in Ipoh. Lovely visit indeed as I loved watching the stalactites and stalagmites , the colourful statues and paintings on the walls. The last one had the most beautiful natural surroundings with a heart-shaped lake in its garden behind. Met a Malay couple posing for their wedding photos in the cave and the garden. Very open-minded I guess for them to do so.
Before we returned , we stopped by at Jaya Jusco for some shopping and then at Bercham for dinner. Though, it was only a two day hols. , I am glad my friends enjoyed themselves too. They even asked me to organise another trip for them . I also hope that I'll be able to go travelling with my family next year onwards. Now, back from the trip I'm working on making a movie on the trip but it takes some time as I am not quite used to the new version of Ulead Movie Maker.
Just after the trip, I was busy helping the local folks to apply for the RM500 BR1M government aid and for the 60 years old and above MCA members to apply for the RM100 new year appreciation angpow. I am glad I get the opportunity to visit the poor ones, listen to their stories and help them to fill up the forms. There are those who need help financially and in theirs are genuine cases. Today I met an young Indian mother of two whose young husband is sick with T.B. and can't work. Her husband had not filled up this form yet.
Am also gathering friends who would like to join the Tzu Chi New Year Blessings Gathering in Butterworth on 7 January 2012. We are going to pray together for peace for ourselves and everyone in the world. We must help to save the environment , spread the words of peace starting from our homes.
There were a few wedding functions to attend this hols . Perhaps it was due to too much eating especially durians too that I could not reduce my weight. Went for morning walks a few times but exercising was not enough.
Enjoyed giving comments on the Facebook, sharing ideas and writing on my FB Wall when I am free. Also spent some time updating this blog and started a new blog for the English Panel for my school. If there is time I have to update the information in the school portal too. When I forget my password and could not recover it, I get disappointed as I could not update another portal.
Have two weeks before school reopens again and there are lots of preparation to be done. Also, CNY is coming and will be busy. Will be doing some shopping soon too. I hope my daughter's eye injury will recover fully and everyone in my family is well.
Also heard of the tragic accident of my ex-pupil's family which claimed 3 lives on the Johore highway. Another shock was when I heard that my husband's ex -principal had his foot amputated due to serious diabetes .
When I was called to fill up the new salary forms, I accepted the offer and also maintain 58 as my retirement age. Well, another 5 years and I will bade farewell to teaching. Guess, I'll be fully involved in social work then. Must keep on being healthy and stay happy and wise.
