49th Merdeka Day in Kuching

Let the pictures do the talking













BTW, where are the fighter jets that keep flying over my house during the rehearsal?
Too dangerous in crowded ares? No more oil? Pilots stomach-ache after too much Sarawak laksa? Too hazy to fly? Undergone transformation and become helicopters?

A true true story

A true story that is too good to be true..............must read one.....

This is based on a true story.........it's very touching. U have to
read... Enjoy...

A rich businessman had a beautiful daughter,
who fell in love
with a guy who was a cleaner.

When the girl's father came to know about their love,
he did not like
it at all, and so began to protest about it.

Now it happened that the two lovers decided to leave
their homes for
a happy future. The girl's father started searching
for the two lovers
but could not find them.

At last, he accepted their love and asked them to come
back home in a
local newspaper. Her father said "If you both come
back I will allow
you to marry the guy you love, I accept that you loved
each other truly."

So in this way, their love won and they returned
home.

The couple went to town to shop for the wedding dress.
He was dressed
in white shirt that day. While he was crossing the
road to the other
side to get some drinks for his wife, a car came and
hit him and he died
on the spot. The girl lost her senses. It was only
after sometimes that
she recovered from her shocked. The funeral and
cremation was the very
next day because he had died horribly.

Two nights later, the girl's mother had a dream in
which she saw an
old lady. The old lady asked her mother to wash the
blood stains of the
guy from her daughter's dress as soon as possible. But
her mother ignored
the dream.

The next night her father had the same dream, he also
ignored it.
Then when the girl had the same dream the next night,
she woke up in fear
and told her mother about the dream. Her mother asked
her to wash the
clothes which have blood stains immediately.

She washed the stains but some remained. Next night
she again had the
same dream she again washed the stains but some still
remained.

Next night she again had the same dream and this time
the old lady
gave her a last warning to wash the blood stain, or
else something
terrible will happen. This time the girl tried her
best to wash the stains,
and the clothes nearly tore, but some stains still
remained.

She was very tired.
In the late evening the same day while she was alone
at home, someone
knocked the door. When she opened the door she saw the
same old lady
of her dream standing at her door. She got very scared
and fainted.

The old lady woke her up... and gave her a blue
object, which shocked
the girl. She asked "What is this...?"

The old lady replied...

Making others happy

Really like this story..................


A Tale of Two Men

Would the story change your thinking? Let's try!

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fin e view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

The origin of this letter is unknown.
