5 ways to enjoy life

Hi! A few blogger and photo enthusiast have attack me for owing a lot of missing blog post. Good attack I mean, not the rude one. Well, I'm just enjoying my life now, other than enjoying my work, overcome stress with a lot of challenging weird freaky styuff out there, I manage to build a wider network by enjoying life!!! I just can't describe much with words because I'm too happy with all the activities going on. Of course, my son and husband are two beautiful thing that happen to me. Thank God for everything.

So, what's with the 5 ways to enjoy life? This year, I have said that I have a vision to complete, I admit that I manage to get a half of the vision done, but the rest of it I'm afraid I need to postpone it due to some obstacle going on. Well, we know our limits right? So, I choose to change the plan and enjoy living. This post would be a longer version because of the long overdue missing in action me.

1) What actually I'm doing at the moment?

I'm still have my day job, I love my career so much like I love my family. I never complain about it because I met new people everyday and I can see that I'm improving my life in term of relationship, friendship, networking and of course the value of human morality. How good you can be? Or how people can treat you better?

2) Do you still take photographs or video?

Yes! Definitely I am. I'm still taking photograph and video for event like wedding, corporate event and others. Just like the old days but I have not plan any new workshop in nearest date yet. Some did ask me about when is Pixelayer next workshop and are we still together as a team? Of course we are, family never going anywhere without their loved ones. It just that our team also busy with growing toddler and babies. Perhaps you know what I mean.

3) Why you seldom reply email and message in FB?

First of all, I would like to apology for all the message that you have sent to me. Currently I'm based in Labuan and sometime in Miri then back to KK for a while. I don't have time read email because I don't connected to the network all the time. Worst case is my phone battery always drain if I turn my email notification off. Like it only can last for 2 hours. Nevertheless, I'm working on to clear things off. I hope you can understand. If it's urgent, you can whatsapp me at zero one six 8128716 number. That's my active number. Make sure to say hello and your name first to avoid ignorance. This is for security purpose.

Ok, so that's the top question what I always received and hope have answered it clearly. Hehe..

Come back to the title of the post, my 5 ways to enjoy life is about Fun, Family, Food, Fitness and Friendship! Hope you have a great day ahead and I see you at the comment box below.

Happy Chinese New Year 2015

I hope it's not too late to wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year 2015. This year has been a good year for me and of course it's not easy to have such a good life during the downturn of our oil price, as a citizen we are happy of enjoying the fuel price that has been very low this season but nonetheless, there are a lot of friends, colleague who has just get their farewell party by this season, some may have party, some people they just have to leave. So sad but this is what the oil industry is facing right now. As for me, no matter what we face in life, if it's hard I define as Challenge, do not complain, be a survivor, because life is matter of surviving although by the end of our life we actually coming back to the after life story. So, why worry? If life is even, then we could be the most boring creature in the universe. Words.

So how is your Chinese New Year celebration? I hope everything goes well, no one injured during playing the 'badilan' or firecracker as they said. I know there are few people could not make it on the road, end their journey by accident, personally, get up people, please obey the rules and do not speed on the road no matter how fast you want to be at the destination. You could end up regret or killing somebody's mother, father, children. After my move to Labuan in August last year, I have been on the road quite a number of KM and saw a lot of irresponsible people who drives like a monkey on the road. Even the monkey is better than them I think. Frankly speaking, sometime I do irritate with my husband who drives like one too. Then again, it's about your and other people safety, We all should think about it.

I also received a lot of photography quotation request, but from the bottom of my heart, I am very sorry to reject all your request for now as my schedule has already packed with lots of activities and booking! I am very sorry, you can still look for our very talented local photographer through my link here just in case.

To all bloggers out there, I know you have been reading my post, thank you for keep supporting each other even though I have been quite 'busy' for some typing session in this blog. Hahaha. Owh by the way, I just want to update you that I have terminated my UOB credit card which cost me RM5K plus, seriously I regret to keep this plastic card for so long and I have such a relief when I finally manage to clear it off and terminate it immediately *I will talk about this some other time* Thanks to Shaklee for making my life better! Yes, I am a Shaklee Independent Distributor.

**I have a lots of photos to share but have not resize it yet so I will only upload it later when I got time.. haha!

** I'm using YES 4G in Labuan and my device was hanging on the window to get the line connected -- Lame.

My Vision Board for 2015

I have been with Shaklee for 1 year and half month now but I never put on my vision board to my blog or any wall. This time, I promise myself to make my life better. Master Norita says, success might not come in first trial, maybe second, third and as the number goes on, just be patient and never stop doing. So I'm going to challenge myself that I could be part of them as well in the future. I love my day job now but I also want to be more healthy with Shaklee and financially earn more wealth in life. Follow my journey on achieving my Vision for the this year. If you interested to be part of our team in Shaklee, do not hesitate to contact me.

Love,
Girllyen.

Happy New Year 2015!

I hope it’s not too late to wish you a happy new year 2015. It has been a very crammed year for 2014 isn’t it? Despite of the missing planes case and crash, natural disaster happens in our country, tragic incidents here and there, I believe there are few sweet memories happen like people get married, get engaged, travelling safely and etc. My 2014 was a little hectic for the first quarter of the year, as I have to struggle on a few mini projects that sometime blowing my mind. Then come to the middle of the year where I get the opportunity of jumping out from my previous job to a new challenge. The offer was very rewarding and after I join the new team, I felt like I have found my long lost friend called ‘self-motivation’. Thanks to my beloved husband who always support and understand my career changes. From land below the wind, I moved to the duty free island to continue my journey of life. I have undergone a few self development training with my current role and get to know a lot of multi cultural social activities as well. Thank God, I’m very optimistic with my new challenge and get a few good colleagues who treat me as their family members. I felt so welcome here. You might wonder what happen to my photography works. Well, there are slightly changes to my packages, especially on the transportation fees. For 2015, I will keep this blog alive again, thanks for your visit and to my loyal readers, thank you so much for keep asking for updates. I know, I’m a bad English student but you can correct my grammar if you want to. LOL! Pray for a good year ahead.

Almost Depressed - Data Storage Stolen!

I am losing my patient and I really want my stuff back. On the 5th of September 2012, my colleague and I decide to drop at Salut Commercial Centre KKIP to have dinner after our weekly jogging. It was aruond 7pm and normally I will park my car in front of the shop on a proper parking space before gone for food or drink at any of the shoplot. After finish dinner, my colleague and I head to our car and as I press on my car alarm, I notice that the passenger's car window at the back of driver seat was broke and immediately thought of my bag that contain all my external hard disk that I brought to the office this morning to back up everything! With dissappointment, I call another colleague that was having dinner with me to the nearest police station to log a report on the case. The number report is MENGGATAL/007807/12 and I appreciate Kpl Rosalia for taking my report accordingly, she did mention to me that I can come and report if any information that I would like to add after the report. Frankly, all I can remember that my 4 external hard disk are inside the bag, a pocket album of Cards in which I can't barely remember what kind of all the cards inside there. By this time, I felt that my world are upside down, thanks to my mom and family for giving me hope and my better half to support and pray for my lost. I don't want to lose hope on it and I will never give up on this. I guess my prayer were heard, on the 10th of September 2012, I found out that my American Express have a few transaction on 5th-6th September 2012, I thought I already terminated this card years ago and I have no idea how can it be used by other person. Quickly, I called Maybank and informed them on the fraud on the card and logged another report number MENGGATAL/007971/12 and this time Konst Ismail was the person who take down my report and informed me that Sar. Richard will handle this case. 4 days later, Sar. Richard call me up that they already caught the suspected and will inform if there the status. Today, I text him and ask about it and I was dissappointed to receive his reply as 'Tiada . .'. How I wish some bloggers out there who lives near Tuaran - Inanam have a close eyes on these external HD. Who know somebody try to sell it to you. I hope the police really work until this case closed.

To all my customer out there, please help me to keep on eye on this too. I am sorry for the trouble but I have no other option right now. All the photos/videos/original/back ups are all inside here. Especially for those who have not made their full payment.

My Poor Car

The Missing External Hard Disk

First day in Philippine - 30 May 2012

After so long,here I am again talking about my side of travel junkie.Like usual,no tour,just go. Only this time I'm not alone, Shirley is with me. At the moment, I just done with my shower and sitting on the bed of Belfranlt Hotel located at General Luna Road, 2600 Baguio City, Philippines P1650 (RM119.30) divide by two of us is only P825 (RM59.65) I only can access the wifi at the lobby so I was composing this post earlier before get it publish.

Thanks to mom for sending us up to Terminal 2 airport. With flight of AK6264 via AirAsia, Shirley and I depart from Kota Kinabalu (BKI) around 1350 hours and reach Diosdado Macapagal International Airport at Clark Field, Pampanga for the first time. Upon arriving, we have to fill in the Disembarkation card and customs declaration. Remember to ready your passport and the form that you just fill in to the custom officer. Line up, wait for your turn and always stand behind the yellow lines. These process apply in any airport I have been. As we walk out the airport, we head to take a jeepney but in our pocket the smallest note we have was P500 (RM36.15) conversion of our last money changer rate as P100=RM7.23. So we decided to look for a shop where we could get a smal change. We went to the nearest 7 eleven and buy our first grocery. I bought 1 mineral water 500ml cost P13 (RM0.94), Chicken Embutido P15 (RM1.08) and 90ml Dove Shampoo P67 (RM4.84) which total of P95 (RM6.87) only. We meet a lady name Hanni and guide us way to the bus terminal. Took a jeepney with P8 (RM0.58) to Clark terminal and transfer to another jeepney P8 (RM0.58) up to Angeles City near Mabalacat Terminal known as Dau Terminal. We bought the Smart Prepaid sim pack at Jumbo mall P40 (RM2.90) and load another P100 (RM7.23). While waiting for the bus to Baguio City, I went to the comfort room obviously look like public toilet. To enter you have to pay P5 (RM0.36). You might be a little surprise with the toilet design. The door and the wall are only the height from my foot up to my waist only. Around 7pm, we took the Dagupan Bus to Baguio P356 (RM25.74) and bought the Pork snack P35 (RM2.53) known as Pork Chicaron for our long journey. Arrived Baguio about 12am and again I went to the comfort room but with normal saiz of the toilet P5 (RM0.36). Someone help us send up to the hotel where I should have just walk but it's ok to pay his warm help. P50 (RM3.62). So total spent for Clark-Angeles-Tarlac-Baguio is only P2352 (RM170.05) Now I need to get my sleep. Blogging using iphone apps.

I'll be back..

Watch out on new updates soon.. 😊 Construction under progress..

Tragedi Oktober - Not The Song

Finally, I have time to blog about my October. AT LEAST. Fiew~. It was a very long and short month for me. Despite of too much paper works on my table, there are few emails to read and need to reply and a lot of things to catch up. For those who just about to know me, I'm a freelance photographer, not means that I'm free to photograph you, but I'm not a full time photographer. I have my day job, 5 days a week and it is not related to any of photography line. My job are something to with logistics, yes, you hear me right, I'm an IT graduated and working in a logistics firm and doing photography as my part time job.

Oktoberfest and halloween are related, because both of them fall under the same month. However, I don't feel like enjoying the feast or any horror stuff except Al-Hijab movie was totally awesome. Good job for a Malaysian movie. Salute! Time is gold, see what I have done this month.

1st October 2011

Waking up at Maureen's house at Petagas, helping them packing up things and household as they moving out from the house the next day. Went to see Merl in the afternoon and visited their land in Babagon. My first time meeting his parent after a few years knowing each other. I had so much fun showering myself with the coldness of the water from Babagon River. Feel like heaven on a summer day.

2nd October 2011

Went to Damai to hand over the photo dvd to Steffie and had breakfast with Merl and then prepare myself for a wedding shooting at Rasa Ria Resort. It was a rush hour. Congratulations to Adeline & Edward and thanks to Frisco for the call about the photo shooting.

3rd October 2011

Wake up early in the morning and found that my secret room floor has a crack on it. Worst, my house warranty has over. JUST IN TIME. Damn. Another story, mom called and told me to change the front tyre, worn out and seriously need attention. Whose attention? Me? No! It's money honey. Owh well, money come and go, that's why my love is a money proof, I don't love a person because of their money. *Tiada Kaitan* In the same time, my youngest brother is sick and I had to bring him to the clinic for treatment before head to the office. After work, we were supposed to watch The Abduction, but I received a called that Merl's was admited. So, the plan was cancelled and we head to visit him at SMC after took our dinner at Upperstar that night. I almost forget, I received my subway sandwich from Sue as well that night. Thank u darling Sue!

4th October 2011

7th October 2011

No breakfast. Too many things need to do. Had McD again for lunch before attending our sport club meeting at Karamunsing. After meeting, went to 1Borneo and wait for the cool sibling. While waiting, I had a glass of Green Frappucino and charge my phone. Our plan was to watch Al-Hijab. We had KFC before the movie. For the first time, I feel the movie. Goosebump a bit.

8th October 2011

I'm supposed to Balik Kampung the night before, but since mummy also didn't balik, tak jadi lagi me balik kampung. Last minute, I joined Azmier and the gang to explore Sub Stesen Sayap which go through Kota Belud route. Had our breakfast at Restauran Mee Tuaran, drop at Azmier's friend house and head to our destination. This was my first time watching the highest waterfall in my life and get at least one lich on my feet. ;) Imagine, we had to walk about 870m to the waterfall and we only fill our stomach with mee tuaran. After get out from the place, it was already late noon, we drop at one of the restaurant near Petronas and had our lunch at 4pm. Not enough of the tiredness, we come up with a crazy thought of going for movie again, and I manage to bring my brother with us. What was the movie again? Owh! The Three Muskeeters. Not bad.

9th October 2011

Plan to pray at Tuaran in the morning, but ended went to St Simon at 5pm mass with Ivonne. Our plan with Sabas and Igy to watch Nasi LEmak 2.0 that night also cancelled due to 'jejak kasih' session at Upperstar without any intention of doing so. In the other words, it is more like reunion dinner. From a single table to three table joined together.

10th October 2011

It was hot sunny day and I feel blessed with a can of coke with lemon in the morning. And received a call from the main office that a package is waiting for me. Without second thought, I wend and took it. There you go, my nano ipod has arrived. Pink and pretty to me. Yay! I seldom use the word pretty. But the best part was, after work, I went to Maureen's house and pigi minta puji bermake up tangah malam. LOL. Reach home then wash my face. Sayang o kan?

11th October 2011

Usual day, breakfast but no lunch. After work went to Megalong Cineplex to watch Nasi Lemak 2.0, at last. Another successful malaysian movie, big applause to Nam Wee for a very good storyline! After movie, we had our supper at Damai, had my pork mee soup, my favourite yo~ and enjoy chipping the rojak buah with them. I'm without food is like ponds without water. :p

Wake up with stomach in pain, feel dizzy and vomitting. Head spinning and I almost faint. Thank God, the rest has been very supportive and help me to get some help from the pharmacy. Gastrik menyerang dan batuk kering jo. It waS terrible, tapi sempat lagi dorang ni tease kat aku waktu aku muntah kat depan kedai makan. That moment, I really cannot tahan already, sorry but I had to force Wendell to stop and get out from the car and there you go, disgusting morning. It was hard to consume any food that time. I'm so glad, the medicine works, and around 1pm, I can go for a jungle treking for bird watching and get a video of the giant flying squirrel. So happy and joy! And had a great night listening to Ben Duncan's story and the fish taste good too!

16th October 2011

Congratulations to all winners and I hope I will be joining the context by next year, wait for my digiscope to arrived first. :p And thanks to Cede Prudente for the dinner at SJR that night. Not to forget the lunch we took at Sim Sim with the ladies before they left Sandakan.

Crying in pain and thank God I was force to go to the clinic again. This time, the doctor also shock and give me another day leave due to high blood. 147/117. I didn't feel like I had high blood, but more into depression. And it was the 3rd year of dad left us. 18th was the date he left us.

19th October 2011

Sleep and rest. I didn't get used to rest and sleep. I feel really bad about it. Although I enjoy watching astro channel, but if my car was there at the point of time, I would rather drive and go home. With all the suffered time, around 7pm, I've been picked up and send up to my house, thank God for the guardian angel you gave to me. Reach home, I clean the house and let myself sweating, and then go to sleep.

Ku nyanyikan rinduku padamu...

I was stumble upon Richado Tawith's YouTube's channel and found his single called "Lagu Rindu" feat Ridah, one of our best local talented soul singer. When I heard this song, it straight remind me of my late dad, this month is the month we lost him and I wish to meet him again in the after life. Daddy, kami sayang daddy, biar betapa rendah hati daddy jaga kami dulu, susah senang sama sama tanggung, tapi sya tidak pernah lupa, tangan daddy tidak pernah sampai di badan kami bila kami buat salah, dan mungkin itulah sebab bila daddy marah, biarpun tidak tinggi suara, air mata terus mengalir sebab terus terasa di dalam hati. Biarpun masa yang ada cuma singkat, sya bersyukur sebab jadi anak daddy, sya minta maaf sebab byk benda dalam dunia ni sya tidak dapat ikut sampai tahap menjatuhkan nama baik keluarga, tapi daddy lebih tahu dengan setiap keputusan yang sya ambil dan daddy lebih tau semua. Mamy, Abang, Oyo, semua sihat, Nenek, Anty, Angkol pun sihat juga. Harap daddy happy disana. Saya Rindu.... :(

Lagu Rindu - Richado feat Ridah

Padamu Tuhan ku berserah
Andai takdirku bersamanya
Walaupun lemah tiada kuasa
Akan ku sayangi dirimu

*
Biar kau tahu rasa ini
Dingin di dalam lagu

**
Ku nyanyikan rinduku padamu
Biarpun entah kapankan bersama
Ku sampaikan hangatnya cintaku
Agar kau sentiasa tahu ku sayang padamu

Andai tiada kau dan aku
Andai tiada bulan bintang
Akan ku kenali melodi cinta ini
Biar onak badai melanda
Biar ribut taufan menjelma
Akan ku kenangi rasa indah ini

repeat * and ** x2

Padamu Tuhan ku berserah
Andai takdirku bersamanya

Climbing Down & Harold & Junko Wedding

Normally, after Mount Kinabalu climb, they will go home, clean up and get rest. Well, this time I made a record for myself, after a suffering climbing down from the mountain, all my nails were injured, I still manage to drive back to KK, send my brother up to Telipok Ria (around 5pm), send his friend to University Apartment and then send the video trailer to Katama reception which held at KDCA, Penampang on 3rd September 2011. After hand over the memory card to Sebastian, I drive back again to Sepangar @ my home (around 6pm), clean up and then drive head to STAR (reach there around 7.30pm already, sorry I'm late), for Harold and Junko's wedding. Thank God I'm still alive. Most of them were shocked but yes, I did attend Harold & Junko's Wedding. Congratulations to both of u!

3 Things To Prepare Before Climbing The Mount of Kinabalu

Who thought I can climb up to the peak of Mount Kinabalu again after 7 years! My first climb was in 2004, I was with my friend that time and still young and reckless. My first experience was different than my second climb. Why? In 2004, we are using Timpohon trail which only 6km to Laban Rata, and this time was the Mesilau trail which have additional of 2km more than Timpohon trail. Again, my weight was 15kg more than my first climb. I remind myself, I won't force myself up to the top if I can't. But what actually made me up to the top? The story that I will bring today. If I didn't make myself up to the top, the story will be different and u will never know what't it like to be on top again. Since I have experience the toughnest of climbing and crawling up to the peak, I will share some tips for those who are planning to climb the Mount Kinabalu.

Things you must prepare before the climb date:

1) Do not climb Mt. Kinabalu without physical preparation - Get Fit at least a month before climbing.

2) Bring as light as possible, the higher you go, the heavier it is. I mean, your stuff.

3) If you are a photographer, please decide what would you shoot in order to minimize which lens that you should bring. I brought my 18-200mm lens so more flexible for me.

Special tips for first time climber:

1) Make sure all the booking, transportation up to National Park or Mesilau Nature Park have been confirmed to avoid last minute dissappoinment. Always double confirmed.

2) Check your itinerary on that day, never missed a line. From the point you leave and up to your arrival.

3) Be early! This is important, to avoid rain, misty, and dark weather, you must get ready as early 6-8am, around 8am, you should start walking through Timpohon or Mesilau trail already, not from your house.

4) Always bring your wind proof jacket or warm suit and a good shoes.

5) For Timpohon & Mesilau trail, wear shorts, and cotton shirt is okay, as the temperature not as cold as up there, suggest to wear your sweater or wind proof jacket 2km before Laban Rata.

6) Normally, the program would be, Day 1, 8am-5pm walking up through Timpohon or Mesilau Trail up to Laban Rata, Day 2, 2am - 5.30am up to the Low's Peak of Mount Kinabalu. So, bring your headlight or torchlight at least.

7) When going down from the mountain, do not push hard on your toes, you will ended badly injured or worst case, unable to walk at all.

8) Google for more information

9) PRAY!

Head to register myself..   Part of the group, 10 man, 1 girl which is myself. LOL.
    So refreshing..

As Raya Go On

Another Raya visit made, I went to Papar to visit Shasha's house and then to Faizal's house, where my understanding was these two are cousins. I get up in the morning and sleep back a few times until I get tired of sleeping (though I was not tired to lay on the bed at all) then get my chores done. At 3pm, after clean up and dressed up, I drive myself heading to Papar, the road was no jammed except the road near Giant, Papar. People still busy buying groceries for their open house I guess. Without drop anywhere, I straight went to Shasha's house and enjoy the food. Bloody hungry and missing her so much. I can't remember when was the last time we meet, 2008? Maybe, I can't recall. Later that, we went to Faizal's house, Alus was there too. She was way slim down, but still gorgeous and even younger look. Again, thank you for the invitation and more blessing upon you all. ;)

Raya Means Friend

Good day everyone, how was your first day of your Raya Eid ul-Fitr day? In Malaysia, we simply call it, Hari Raya Puasa or Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Do you know what is Raya means in the first place, originate from Israel word, it means Friend. While Eid means celebration or festivity, Fitr means breaking of the fast or month of Ramadhan. In my words, Hari Raya Aidilfitri generates a meaning of a day for celebration after one month fasting with friend. Friend is everything, but always remember your root before your friend. That is God + Family = Friend. I hope you all enjoy your Raya as I do. Thank you for all the invitations and I hope I manage to go all the invitations for tomorrow. For those I'm unable to visit, please accept my apology. Thank you and take care. *Hei,I'm improving right? Blogging as much as I can*

Have you ever saw this tagline? Yes, it is from Dunkin Donuts store in KKIA, Terminal 1, near Gate A10, I was there waiting for my flight to Labuan last Sunday, it's a huge store, but it's closed. Then I took the tag line photos and it was look nice to me and below is the teaser for Raya. ;)


Thanks to Sue for the invitation, and to Sebastian & Carey, thank you for joining and bring me to Natasha's house at Sembulan again. Thank you very much. ;)

Sleepless Night

The time shows 3.15am in the morning, and I am here alone in this room. There is something bother my mind recently, it's very complicated and I somehow could not take it no more. Major issue is my relationship, respect from my family, and God. It is very personal to me to say it out here, but whoever who know the story; I really hope it ends well and peacefully. Some say, I am in the age of settle down and should step into the world of commitment. First of all, I am very sorry for all the memories that I have ruined and I wish I have a better vision of what my future going to be. I don't want to end crying every hour and depressed with all that fall onto me. I am sick of emotional abuse.

In life, we have different of stories, several of experience and similar understanding of how to survive. However, every people have diverse of dreams and vision. I believe that everything happen for a reason. Like my stories from the past, I never thought that my beloved dad will leave me like this, leaving me alone and I realized that up to today I still can’t accept it although I promise to strong about this. People who understand me, they feel about it, people who don’t, they will say that I seek sympathy only. Take my words; you will never be yourself today if not because of your parent. My father is still young when he left us, I just learn to be an adult, manage to get a dream apartment, get my car license and then he left us without any message. You know like someone who can’t swim lose his life jacket?

To stay alive, the person only has two options, to keep floating or die. Along the way, while you struggle to swim, there will be more obstacles coming like strong waves, rocks, jellyfish or good thing like an island to keep you rest for a while. When u get into the island, u jump into happiness and you feel that might the last destination and you may live happily ever after. Unfortunately, the island unable to supply you car to move around, and other critical equipment that you really need and you start missing home again. In my case, I choose to leave the island and hope brighter future at home. However, all who waiting me at home expect me to bring the island together. When I refuse to, it’s me who being selfish. Island people always back me up, but no one from my home is happy with me. How I wish I could seek forgiveness and live normally again.

In time like this, only one person who I can talk to, understand what I feel and consider what to do, but he is not here anymore, impossible for me to get his help or seek therapy from him. Dady, kalaulah daddy masih hidup, mesti daddy tidak kasi biar sya begini. Apa pun dosa sya sma daddy dulu, tolonglah kasi maaf sya, sya mau hidup macam daddy masih hidup. Sya harap dpt jumpa daddy cepat. Sya sayang daddy..............sya rindu...........

I will stay strong.. Hopefully..
