Sematan Palm Beach Resort.

That was where we went for a short break. I loved it and so did the kids. I never knew the place until a colleague posted it on her Face Book. They have been in business for 5 years now.

It is located at Sematan... I think I just share with you guys the photo....

The Magenta

We had this chalet that has 1 queen size bed on the ground floor and 2 single bed upstairs. The kids really love the concept.

Having tea before going to the beach.

The dinner... not bad but varieties would be nice. We had spaghetti too.

Breakfast...

The weekend's over..

...but my leave will start tomorrow. Planning to get out of town with the family. Will keep you posted of the place; in case you'll stalk me (yeah, like that's going to happen).

I must say even though Kuching is blast with activities; with the H1N1 and the Haze I am avoiding crowd places. Thank God for the rain so we had few days of clear sky and fresh breath of air.

A friend of mine is tying the knot after years of courting and dating. I am so happy for this couple yet I can't reveal their names coz it will be a surprise for a few people out there who might know them and who might be reading my blog. So until then; I am zip-up about it.

What makes a marriage successful? I am not trying to be Madam-Know-It-Al nor am I trying to act as if I have a perfect marriage. Sometimes you just wonder; why and I land myself in this situation. - These questions will manifest itself especially when one is having some kind of tension in their marriages. No, I am not having problems with mine (ya, true he need to be told to mawn the lawn every month; to get somebody to service the aircond every now and then or to get my washing machine repair for the thousand times!!!) - we argue about money all the time, so does other couples. Believe me, your marriage is not a normal one if you don't face this situation.

Early in my marriage, I always complain to my beloved because he will chose football, volleyball or badminton over me. Even his car gets more attention then me. I remember when I delivered my boy (2pm 25 November 2001), I was expecting him to be there when I was out of the delivery room - he wasn't. He only showed up later, late evening and not until few days after that I found out he was actually having a game; and there I was delivering 'His" baby- marah, tidak......

Now, I'll be happy if he were to bring the kids out for his games - be it football or badminton. Then I can have"peace"............

Guys, you need to accept that two of you are not perfect. When you enter in to this 'agreement' it was for poorer or richer, in sickness or well being until death do us part..... and the agreement is not only between the two of you; moms, dads, brothers, sisters.....; sealed with God's blessing.

My advise; bring God into your marriages. There will be tough time but it's not where you are going that is important but what you gain. experience and feel along the journey that is more fulfilling.

Finally, Saturdays........

I have not being so looking forward to Saturday until today. Megan has been telling me to go to stall B1 first before we look at other stalls. I am talking about St. Faith's Parish Sale which was this morning and of coz the B1 stall were mend by her Kindy's teachers who without failed, notice us...

Why are charity sales so expensive? I know they are for good cause but they literally throat cutting!!!!!

Anyway, that is not why I like this Saturday and next Saturday and the next Saturday and......

This is one of those Saturdays that I have the other half with me and the children. Work made him missed out on our time together. For 6 years I watched him go to work and feeling sad for it. As demand of it soar and got bigger so did his blood pressure, liver problem, hypertension and of coz his hair lines!!!! He stayed because of commitments and just because WE needed the money.

Things turned for worst when his own boss didn't care enough to cover for him except for their own asses and he was transferred to Kuantan!!!!!!! That was the final blow for us. The moment he uttered "I quit"; it was as if a heavy load were lifted from MY OWN shoulder and after so many years, despite knowing we will have to survive on what ever resources we have, I cried cry of joy.

I met my husband when we worked together... When the company reconstructed and had to let go some of the work forces we decided that it'll be better if I were to stay and he opted for the Voluntary Scheme. I never failed to blame my self for this decision although we agreed and soon after he was with this outsourced company. He had ups and downs but towards late last year - management changed and he just didn't have the support he needed. So that was it.

We are trusting God with our lives. We are learning to accept God's grace rather than doing it with our might, and guys... we will be ok. Pray that we be strong and able to see God......
