No one can predict the future; not even the Fortune Teller coz God is in control of our future. He can change it anytime He wishes. Yes! I have always wanted 4 children and God blessed us with 2 pairs. That’s truly a blessing. I am going throu...
When Will The Maid Be Back
Many asked me when will the maid be back. Well, I have no idea when she will be back for good because MIL still have not finished her medical check-ups in KL. They will be there as long as MIL’s eyes are not heal. They will only be back if ther...
