When I shall Die
by Anna

When I shall die,
I shall do it myself
Nobody shall do it for me.
When I am ready,
I shall say,
"Fin, stand me up",
and I shall look
and laugh merry.
If I fall down,
I shall be dead.

I hope I am not infringing on
any copy rights here...

That poem was written by
a semi-illiterate girl
called Anna,
who lived in the streets of London
in the 1930s...

In her short little life,
with sadness and tragedy
around her...
She had some interesting
insightful understanding
of our God...

The book is called
"Mister God, This is Anna"
by a guy simply known as
Fynn.

I read the book years ago
Somehow, it kind of surfaced
again...

like some
suppressed emotions
forgotten memories...

I saw a stack of old receipts lying on the floor

So naturally I went to pick them up, and in so doing rekindled some happier times....

The receipts were for simple stuff:
towels, lipsticks and some tights.. so what's the big?

well, they were bought from JCPenny, Nordstrom and Torrid respectively..

They were from one of the last shopping trip in LA, US beginning of this year..

Yup, Christmas, New Year, Dad's 80th Birthday....
Family... Cousins, Nephews...

Missing them dreadfully =(

It was a little belated
"Mother's Day" gift,
But totally forgivable....
When I indulged in a
Wonderful
Relaxing
Luxurious
Spa-time EVER!!!!

Bang in the middle of town
This haven is such
a perfect
Hide-away from town
In the middle of town

Anyway, no massages
No facials
just steam bath
Jacuzzi, Whirlpool
Cool plunge
Believe me, it was
COLD plunge...
Healthy tea..
Rest room..

I mean
A room where
one rests from
the hard work of
Jacuzzi, Whirlpool...
Steam room....

You get the drift.

Now that's what
I called
A day off.......

*sigh........

I am a grandma!!
Actually this post is like
Long time coming

I mean...
Baby is about, what,
4 months old now?

Her arrival was really
quite unexpected..

Haha.. aren't they always??

Anyway, her mommy
Had some sleepless nights
When baby just wouldn't settle
No matter what

She was so playful
We were at our wits' end
had to take over
couple of times

Not that I minded..
Did bring back memories though
the mess
the hair
the cleaning up....

It has been a long time
since we have to
care for someone
so small...
so vulnerable....

She is so 'manja'... hehe
so nice to have her
Cuddling up to us at night.

Such a cute lil thing...
Ohoh... and she has her
Very own collar
& carrier too!

It took some getting used to,
but Buttons is willing
to wear the collar
so long as it doesn't have a
Bell...

I'd gotten quite addicted
to this Face book game
"Word Play" or
something like that..

Anyway, it's trying to
make up as many words
as you can in a limited
time frame

It has some variation
and one of them
is the word grid..

So my score ain't brill
But since I am the only
Other person to play it
among my friends
I am currently leading...

Worked on it a bit tonight
and hit a high score
Guess what??

The darn thing couldn't load
so the high score
ain't recorded....

Now don't I just have
all the luck??
