ONLY ONE EYE

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, 'EEEE, your mom only has one eye!'
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?'
My mom did not respond... I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare my children!' GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!'
And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,' and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
"My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see... when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. 

With all my love to you,"Mom

Sometimes things happen for a reason and the reason might be heartache to listen to.
But we human love other more and don't ever live in a hatred world cuz once you are there you can't leave it without love~

Top 10 Places To Visit At Malaysia

Thanks to Lonely Planet’s Best In Travel Guide 2010, I’m proud here to recommend my country, Malaysia, to all travellers who are going to or wish to visit Malaysia for the first time.

As tourism board of Malaysia‘s slogan says, “Malaysia, Truly Asia”. Malaysia’s multiculturism due to its complex population structure where Malays, Chinese, Indians and other ethnic groups of people live together peacefully and happily, has led to many exciting cultural festival and events held all over Malaysia throughout the year. Not to mention those mouth watering multi-cuisine foods that you can find here.

Same with that is our popular travel destination where travellrs could simply find everything they like to see, do, and explore in a tropical country from highland cooling hideaways, deep tropical rainforest exploration, clear and calm sea snorkelling and scuba diving to crazy madly clubbing and shopping.

Similar to that again is its tropical weather where sunshine, hot temperature with showers could be expected throughout the year, Malaysian people are warm, friendly with smiles on their faces throughout the year.

Among the Top 10 Travel Destinations in Malaysia that travellers must go are:

Penang – Mostly populated by chinese community, travellers could find incence and temples everywhere in Penang. The ‘must-do” items includes trying out full varieties of our local foods, site seeing world heritage architechtures, sun-bathing at the beautiful Batu Ferringhi beach as well as exploring the ‘spicy’ little Indian street;


Cameron Highland – The hinterland at highland where you can visit tea plantations in the cool air, sipping tea at cafes, viewing flowers and cactus plantation, as well as trying our local steamboat lunch and dinner. You can also play a round of golf there too.



Taman Negara – With the thick rainforest surounding you, try jungle trekking, tracking elephants with your leech-proof boots. kayaking and overnight at Kenyir Lake. Fishing and exploring the National Park at Endao Rompin;



Pulau Redang, Perhentian, Kapas or Tioman – These east coastal islands are best for snorkelling, scuba diving, photographing live corals and sunsetting! You can also witness turtles laying eggs at sea shore if you are lucky;



Sarawak and Sabah – Climb the massive Mt. Kinabalu, visit the mythical Borneo where you can see wild orang-utans and off course, taste plenty of fresh and cheap seafoods! Off the shore of Tawau is the famous Sipadan “scuba diving heaven” Island;



Melaka – The historical city with many ancient architectures and cultures herited from the Portuguese, Netherlands and Spanish. Travellers could learn more on the local Papa and Nyonya community;



Langkawi – Big island with all sorts of activities to explore includes the Eagle Square, grand Perdana gallery of art by our previous premier, Tun Dr. Mahathir;



Kuala Lumpur – The capital city of Malaysia. The heaven for entertainment,shopping, drinking, and people watching. Travelers need at least 3 days to visit tourists spots such as the Petronas Twin Tower, Batu Caves, Tasek Perdana with Birds Park, Orchid Garden, museum, zoo, royal palace, chinese temples etc;



Putrajaya – A new government administrative district where you could visit the lake, botanic garden, mosque and also to appreciate the grand architectures with nine bridges reaching the district surrounded by a manmade river (or canal?), and

All About Life

Life is beautiful? Life is bitter?

----

They say life is a journey. This seems to be true.

If life is a journey, you're able to enjoy the beauty of the world

and also experience the darkness of the world...

I wanted to write about the lives of people who live honestly amidst the darkness,

where they give all their best and contribute to the society,

those who do not fall apart when faced with hopelessness,

but those who instead demonstrates integrity.

----

Although one is said to be defeated, it is tolerated because there is resurrection.
