Visiting FrenzZz

What a day to start with... Arrrhhhhhh still tired.....

Yesterday I dress in blue Punjabi suit cos today I'm going to visit my executive since she doing an open house. Guess what when I reached the office, none of them dress up cos they are not going. Poor me... I end up headed to Marsiling alone.

There I met Lina, Lini and family.... It has been a great pleasure to meet up with friends. Then later I headed to Tanglin Halt Road together with Lynn to catch up with some gossips... ha ha ha ha... Its the first time we had a long conversation and stayed up till 2.00 am.

Then I went home to catch some sleep before going to work again later in the morning.... No wonder I still feel drowsy... Lack of sleep.

Eve of Hari Raya...

Hey, 

I'm not working and soundly sleeping... Just then I heard sOmeOne knock on the door. Guess who? It's my mom, claiming that received call from the hospital that my dad will be discharged. Alhamdulillah. Thank you, Allah Almighty.

It's left me with no choice but to get myself ready and fetched dad. I have to wait for the pharmacist, appointment letter, also the blood test results and so forth. After a long wait, he was only discharged at 4.00 pm. Just imagine from 11.00 am I had been waiting. I almost fall asleep.  

I believe it's my dad who insists the doctor allow him to be discharged since it is a festive season. Cause from his condition I don't think so it is advisable to discharge him yet. I told my dad... soon later you will be returning to the hospital.  It is not a prayer but it is something I can foresee. 

Guess what happened when he reached the void deck. He claimed he felt giddy. Once reached home he was out of breath again. There is where I bet that he still not fully recovered yet insist on going back home.

I told him off and said you refuse to listen to doctor instead you get the doctor to discharge you right. If anything happened tonight I'm going to send you back to the hospital. People may think I'm being cruel but I think otherwise as my house is not fully equipped with the hospital devices. All prayed that nothing happened. 


Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Minal Aidil Wal Fa Izin!!!

Legend of the Merlion

Hey, 
Here is something that what I want to share with all of you in which not much of you aware of this too. Thanks to TellingTales.Com for having such article which can help the younger generation to know more about The HISTORY Of SINGAPORE....!!!







The Legend Of The MerlionOn a rocky saddle in the middle of Sentosa's north-south axis, sits the majestic Merlion, half lion, half fish, powerful and regal in mien. Its paternal gaze rests with joyous pride on Singapore, the prosperous island it has protected through the ages. Legend has it that this rocky saddle just below Mt Imbiah was the seat for the real Merlion, the legendary guardian of Singapore.
Ancient Singapore, known as Temasek, was discovered in the 11th Century AD by Prince Sang Nila Utama of the Sri Vijaya empire. He renamed the island Singapura, Sanskrit for Lion (Singa) and City (Pura) after he saw a mighty lion. The prince also heard the legend of how The Merlion came to Sentosa...

On a dark night long ago, a chill swept over the sleepy villages of Temasek. Thick scudding clouds wiped out the stars. The villagers tossed in restless slumber. Even the night insects faltered in their busy chattering. The frenzied wind whipped the sea and tore at the trees, threatening the flimsy houses. The crashing waves pounded the beaches, threatening to engulf the land with every passing moment. Awake by now, the villagers, half paralysed with fear at nature's raw power, sank to their knees in prayer.

Suddenly a shout went out. A wondrous sight was unfolding. The boiling sea sparkled as thousands of iridescent, colourful sea creatures surged towards land. They heard the magical sound of bells, heralding the arrival of something. A huge geyser spouted from the sea. A great sea beast reared its massive head among the creatures. Phosphorescence dripped from its lion's mane. It was bigger and more graceful than any creature ever seen. A great roar ripped from its throat and shook the land. With mighty thrusts of its tail, it headed for the rocky saddle. The multitude of sea creatures prepared its path, squirting water from their mouths to smooth the way.
With thunder in its eyes and anger ripping through its body, the half lion, half fish beast fought the thundering skies and blasting wind. Roar after terrible roar ripped from its throat.
The terrified villagers cowered on the beach as the battle between beast and nature raged. Slowly, the wind lost its force and the crashing waves their violence. In victory, the great sea beast let out one long, last mighty triumphant blast that shattered the sky. By magic, the clouds and the wind retreated and the sea calmed down. The stars poured out in a mighty wave of twinkling light. Peace swept the land. The mighty sea beast tossed its salt drenched mane, and gazed benevolently on the cowering villagers. The sea creatures broke into joyous celebration.
For a long time, the proud sea beast sat on its rocky throne. What it thought, no one could tell. The tired, happy villagers fell into a magical sleep, peace suffusing their faces. As dawn stole across the sky, the great sea beast sighed a mighty sigh. With a long, lingering look on the island, it flipped its tail and returned to the sea.

As if a spell had broken, the villagers awoke. Rubbing sleep from their eyes, they ran to the sea's edge, looking for the mighty sea beast. All they saw was a long trail, filled with colour and light. The scales of the colourful sea creatures and the dried salt from their bodies filled the trail, catching the rays of the morning sun, breaking the light into a thousand colours. As if sealed by magic, the colourful trail remained through the years. Each year, the giant Merlion, for that was what it came to be called, returned to Sentosa by this trail. On those magical nights, it would sit on its rocky throne, watching over the island it loves. At dawn, it returned to the sea. One year, the Merlion stopped coming. Maybe it knew all would be well. The villagers felt sure that it would return if the island was once again in peril. The Merlion legend became the favourite story of generations of children. Children made sand models of the Merlion and its colourful trail, acting out the story with their friends.

Today, the legend of the Merlion is commemorated on Sentosa. Lovingly recreated in concrete and glass, this massive 37 metre tall Merlion follows faithfully the details of the legend, down to the colourful trail, now called the Merlion Walk

New Month.... New Resolution....

A brand new month with new resolutions. Well, I'm working morning shift all the way but I had to stand in for crisis exercise and also to complete my missions. Today I'm extremely shock to hear that my working buddy, Mas admitted to Changi General Hospital at Ward 36 Bed 25. Then later in the late morning, I received another news that Liz had resigned 24 hour due to unforeseen circumstances. She left without a word to all of us. However even we had known each other for a short period, it been a great pleasure to get to know you.

To you sister... Wishing you best of luck and all the best for your future endeavour... Take care and gonna miss you. Muackkss.... 

I wonder how my another sister, Syai had been doing. It's been sometimes since I last heard from her. Hope she doing just fine with her new profession. I wonder when will be our next meet up you.
