A Dance with Our Daddy .....

The heavenly music is getting louder
Can you hear the sound?
Its melodious lines seem to captivate you
You seem drawn to it
But i called out and said
'Don't go yet, stay around here a bit more
I know it's not much but i sure would like it
If you'd stay for a while or so'

But the music continues to beckon
Your feet starts tapping into the rhythm
You said,' I'm starting to feel the music.
'Can you feel it too?'
With a cheeky smile on your face
You twirled and moved promptly to the beat
Moving further and further away

I called out ,' Don't go too far , I'll miss you'
You lingered for a while
But music started to fill the air
I tried to follow but it was too tough
You were dancing further and further away
I tried to see where you were moving towards
But everything was a blur

Fear started to grip my heart
'Where is she going? What if i never see her again?'
I have to stop her
Then i tried
I struggled to keep up to the beat so i can keep up with her
So i can keep her with me

I looked at her again
She was laughing , with a beautiful smile on her face
Enjoying each melody and harmony...
I felt bad... how can i stop her
She looked so happy now.. and contented

Then I saw Him
My Daddy... Her Daddy
Our Daddy....
He came and swiftly swept her off her feet
I heard her laughter ringing just like the sound of bells chiming
His strong arms started to carry her
Led her into a beautiful choreography

I was stunned
She no longer looked sad like before
Downcast and sorrowful
How could this be?
She is now dancing with our Daddy
Her head slowly tilted and she leaned on His chest
Peace was written all over her face
I could feel her heart, warm and contented
She's in better hands now ...

They danced and danced
Further and further away from my sight
I almost cried out to her
but she looked back at me once in a while
Smiling, almost as if to reassure me
That she's safe and joyful
As if to tell me not to worry

I thought to myself
This was a dance that i could not follow
Tears filled my eyes again
This time it wasn't tears of fear
It was tears of joy
To see her glowing and her beauty showing
ever so majestically.... like never before

Daddy then looked at me
a whisper came to me saying,
'She's with me now.. No pain,
no sorrow, no sickness can ever
touch her again......'
I cried again....
Peace rushed into my heart
I knew I had to let her go

I sat there and i watched
as She and Daddy danced and danced
till they were almost out of sight
Deep inside i knew
She is where she wants to be

She will have to wait
Till it's my turn to dance with Daddy
Then...i shall see her once again
Beaming and shining with glory
I shall wait for the beautiful day
When I can see her again
I will give her the biggest, tightest bear hug
And there, we can dance together
Throughout eternity....

Visits from Australia

In Alor Star with her sis, (Sally),bro-in-law(Lee),their son (Caleb) and hubby (Graham)

Can't remember exactly when was this. When she came back from Australia to visit us, esp during CNYs she'd always be the earliest to wake up. Either mopping the floor or making breakfast, baking her cakes and peanut cookies, making her tuna and vege puffs and cooking her pumpkin soup. =) While we were still in bed snoring away, she'd come in and say , ' Rise and Shine! Time to make some pancakes!!!' =) And then we would wake up groggily... but in the end we would have a fun time making pancakes for breakfast together. She was a wonderful cook!

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

Dressed in white

In the Catholic church in KB, we were dressed in white for some special occasion
which I cannot remember.....I had to recite something at the altar...
Look at her beaming so proudly in this picture ;)

Kota Bharu daysss..

CNY 1992

Aunt Lydia used to stay with us in our house in Kota Bharu until she left in 1994 to go to Shah Alam to work. Haha look at Erwin (my bro) looking so cheeky and why was my dad looking so bored during CNY??? She used to fetch me around in her Honda Cap red scooter =) I can still remember the sound of the revving engine and she looking so cool with her helmet.
Check out the piano behind us ;) while we were growing up and learning piano, she was always entertaining us with some of her own favorites like Edelweiss (played with the left hand on C chord at all times =)) and the Happy Birthday Song! She'll always say, ' Hmmph! I also know how to play! ' and start playing her tunes =)

The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.
Isaiah 57:1-2

She loves music....

On my first birthday, I remember waking up and seeing so many people in the house, crowding over my birthday cake...I got scared and I cried....
Many tried to pacify me....She also tried to comfort me by singing to me...
I guess in the end, it worked...
this picture was taken after I stopped crying:)

Triple Birthday Celebration!

The 3 wonderful people : Sister, Bro-in-law, Sister celebrating their birthdays together (7th,8th and 9th Feb respectively) in 1993 at Perdana Beach Resort in Kota Bharu.

This was so much fun! can you imagine such a coincidence =). It was triple celebration every year. It was such a wonderful time going to the resort together and having lotsa satay.;)


So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:42-44

It's so hard to say goodbye...

especially when there are so many things that I've yet to share with you
I wish you could be there through all my walks of life
wish you could be there at every important moment
and even the not so important ones,
my happy times and sad times,
wish that I could share them all with you

you had so much love to give
and so much joy to share
you've given us so much
unselfishly and willingly

I will always remember
how you loved to sing and play edelweiss on the piano
I will remember the times
we baked tuna puffs together

I'm sorry if I never say I love you enough
I'm sorry if I've never shown how much I cared

I do not understand why
I guess I never will
But I do know that you're in His hands
and that is the best place to be...

I'll miss you...
my dearest aunty

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God"

A Visit to the Zoooo...

Back in 1997 when we went to the Zoo in Singapore together

I still remember her always running after our young cousins at the zoo. Making sure young-uns had enough water, making sure they don't fall down. Always taking care of this and that. Never resting. that's our Aunt Lydia =). Always watching out for someone else.

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

I can almost hear her agreeing loudly ,'AMEN!' to that scripture like she always does when she reads the bible scriptures! =)

Hi-tea in PJ Hilton

She always wanted us to have the best....
never withholding anything back to herself, she freely blesses us with every good thing....
Once, on a trip back to M'sia, she insisted in bringing us for hi-tea in PJ Hilton...
I remember how we spent the whole afternoon having the hi-tea and
later how we walked around the hotel to take some pictures....

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18
