An idea that’s become so powerful that governments fear it. No wonder the blogosphere has become a highly competitive place where most blogs happen to be invisible

HAPPY CONNECTING! xoxo

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past

You can't go forward in life until

You let go of your past failures and heartaches

Enough trials to make you strong
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy

When the door of happiness closes, another opens
But often times we look so long at the
Closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us

We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less

So if I had the only one wish that somebody would make true - I would love to see all the children healthy with the smile on their faces !!!

Before making this blog, I thought a lot what we provide our kids with? What environtment we create for them for their wellbeing.

This morning i went shopping with my angel, and there was a guy in the street, quite a stranger, who gave a balloon to her, and she smiled and thanked him. A surprised smile came to my face to, because it's very rare that anyone might make up their mind to do something like this, to give without high expectat

This blog is a bit different from what you may expect from a blog dedicating to father. This is blog not only about my father, but also about the late Tun Razak Hussein, the second Prime Minister of Malaysia. Why I chose both of them for my Writing Challenge, I hope I will answer that by the end of my blog.

60) “Hard” and “Hardly” – Words with “-ly” endings usually are adverbs – “quickly”, “heavily”, “quietly”, “softly”, etc. – but not all adverbs end in “-ly”, and this is where “hard” and “hardly” can be confused and actually end up giving the opposite meaning of what was intended. 

Hard can be either an adjective or and adverb, while hardly is always only an adverb, and as adverbs, hard means “forcefully” and hardly means “barely,” “almost not at all”:

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap;

If you want happiness for a day, go on a picnic;

If you want happiness for a week, go on a vacation;

If you want happiness for a year, inherit wealth;

But if you want happiness for a life time, learn to love what you do.

TEN things God won’t ask on that day:

God won’t ask what brand of car had you driven
But he will ask how many people who needs car had you given ride

He will ask about the number of people that were clothed by your help

God wont ask what your highest salary was
He will ask if you obtain it via a lawful way
