The jewels in my life...

Yea!!! I'm back!!! First up, a BIG words of thanks and sorry to the guys n gals faithfully following my blog... Out cold for the past few days (BIG time!!!) cause of assignments... There's also another reason i've delayed this post, i'll explain it RIGHT at the end...

Yup, i'm back on track... (Tho still super-sleepy... Kinda...)
Ok ladies and gentlemen, today i'm gonna introduce all of you to... MY FAMILY!!! This group of people have faithfully stood through my nonsense all the years of my life... (Of course all the years of HER life for my lil sis laaaa) Well, what can I say here? If it's true what people say, that a picture paints a thousand words; listen to them...

This is dad, the best father anyone could ever have, the the father i would never change for a million kings... A man of great wisdom, he has in fact inspired me to do many things in life which i would never have enjoyed otherwise... His wisdom and patience in dealing with court cases, clients and matters in everyday life has never failed to leave me dumbfounded... How could a man know basically EVERYTHING and yet be so humble about it? He's the one who taught me to do the things i love doing, be it electrical, plumbing, debating, all the way to just fixing stuff... Although many times he's had a stressful day at work, he comes home and always greets his family with a smile... Work related stress? Aplenty... Yet, as his child, he's NEVER lashed out at me or any other family member solely because of stress... Dad has always been the one who knows what to do whenever we're in trouble and in need of anything... He's always there to bail us out when we get into trouble, and he knows exactly how much to show us and how much for us to figure out ourselves... Daddy's always the one to download sermons, yet never take it at face value, rather read through the bible to determine its' authenticity... Bottomline? My daddy, the best dad in the world, only one for me... I love him for who he is, what he has been, and who he ever will be, my DAD!!!

This is Girlie (sometimes also known as Amanda)... My little sister and youngest in the family... Won't change her for a million princesses... She brings joy into the family through her many subtle ways... People say we look very much alike... (must be because of the eyebrows^^) Yeah, she does very much control  what we eat most of the time when we eat out, but there's no complain... Very understanding girl, she can be the most compassionate girl if needs be... Her newest addiction? RUBIX CUBE!!! Being a girl who always saves every sinlge cent given to her, she still finds pleasure in making the rest of her family members happy... NEVER has she forgotten a birthday or christmas present and she's ever willing to spend A LOT of her money to show her love for her family members... She actually takes the time to think of what present is most suitable for her koko or her niko (me!!!) and never stinges when it comes to giving. She would depend on me to teach her sejarah, and fro there i knew that her grasping of concepts is so extraordinary... She'll make it far in life... Her talent in music and her bubbly, cheerful nature makes having a sister even a joyful event!!! (sometimes... :-P) In short, she is my sis, the best sister in the world... I love her for who she is, who she was, and who she ever will be... My SISTER!!!

This lady, beside girlie, is MUMMY... The best mother in the world, the lady i wouldn't change for a million queens... Mummy's the most compassionate and understanding lady the world has ever known. Never would she withhold something that would bring joy to another family member. She's always the woman to show her love towards us, never fearing wether or not we are in public. Through this one lady, i understood the meaning of what it is to love and to give of our all to the ones we love. I guess mum is the one who in a sense, showed me what God's love could be like, and so did Dad... This is due to the fact that... If earthly parents could love us to such an extent, what more our Heavenly Father? Mom even set a rule that we should call her whenever we miss her, everyday... So to those who see me often calling someone on the phone? That would be mom :) Mummy has always been there when we need someone to complain to, someone to lend us her shoulder or someone to just dote on us... A mom who taught us not through words, but mostly through actions. Both mum and dad have one vitue which i pray one day i would achieve, they NEVER lie... Not about "later police come" or anything of the sort. I even had my mouth washed with soap once 'cause she said she'd do so if i lied again... Never fails to show love, discipline, faithfullness and everything good at the same time. Mummy, the best mother anyone could ever have, the only mother i would ever want... I love her for who she is, who she has been, and who she ever will be!!! Nothing will ever change that!!! 

With Girlie here is koko... The eldest boy in the family and my only brother. He's been my companion and friend for the past 18 years, and only left when he had to go to uni... He's been the one to talk to when i needed to discuss issues about organization, games or just talk trash... Koko's a very patient guy... I mean VERY patient... Sometimes tough, i think dis patience allows him to be bullied... Oh well, he's my brother anyway... A real smart guy he is as well... His way of thinking is different from mine and so together, we're quite a deadly brotherhood at tackling co-op games... Both of us speak Greek, (or so mum, dad and girlie thinks...) when we speak to each other... (Hmm, i think slightly closer to russian laaa :P) He's the one who has been my roommate the longest in my life, and he's the one (sorta) who jaga-ed me throughout this 18 years... Having a koko like him was in a sense very good, yet bad in another... Why, you ask? Everytime I applied for something, be it school or tuition, the first impression everyone would give was... "Oh!!! adik Matthew ya???" (For those non-Malay-speakers... "Oh!!! Matthew's brother ya???") Oh well... It always worked out as i had a certain bar set for me, and all i had to do was climb it... Weird thing is, people had always seemed to know that koko was my brother... At one time, a shopkeeper even asked, "Eh? Twins ah???" O_o I don't get it... The mustache, maybe? Anyway, in short, koko's the brother i had in my life and always will be... I love him for who he is, who he was to me and who he ever will be... My BROTHER!!!
Alright, now that i've talked about ALL my family members... I guess it's time to reveal why i ceased publication of new material for sooooo long... Today is a special day for my Mom and dad... It's their 25th SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TODAY!!! Honestly, mom and dad make up the perfect couple, proof that there can be matches made in heaven, matches that TRULY love one another and that put God in the middle as the one who bids the two souls together... As a  team, they have not only told me, but have SHOWN me what it is to truly love someone selflessly... 25 years of building a family is never an easy thing to do, many have stumbled in the process... Yet mum and dad made it through... I can only pray that one day, I too will find a right partner in life, as mum and dad have... One that can, with me, have and hold, pray with me in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, that even death cannot seperate... May God continue to bless and prosper my family, especially mummy and daddy, as He always has and bless them in all that they do, that we can be beacons of light for His name...



In ALL HONESTY,
MAL
:-)

P/S: I love all of you sooooooo very very very very much!!! Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad!!! Enjoy Vietnam!!!
