When I do not see words from you, our professional 'traveller' and those who used to be around, I wonder how they are. Sometimes I drop them an email to ask - the like of one nicknamed 'little dot down south', who one took the trouble to fly to be our house guest.<br /><br />Alhamdulillah, we both are well and so are our total of ten )of two generations) - noothing like the richer one (of larger number in one generation).<br /><br />If you have another group picture please pass one on to Makcik and me.<br /><br />With all the good wishes from us.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-90880956773618640582014-05-09T11:38:36.237+08:002014-05-09T11:38:36.237+08:00Assalamualaikum

Humble dewdrops, most times incredible, ephemeral, yet true and they shine in the half light as beacons do in the gathering darkness. Guiding some village children in mathematics, language and other core subjects, I am pleasantly surprised at how intelligent most of them are, although from backgrounds lacking in many respects. Rough diamonds when polished will definitely glitter - fantastically! As you dear sir, found out from your successful students! Kindness, a job well done brings much happiness to you I am certain. Your good deeds will be such a legacy!Malay Muslimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-27822961507018657172014-05-01T22:29:37.434+08:002014-05-01T22:29:37.434+08:00Witty Angel,

However reaching the double 7 soon, we can only reminisce and feel what others and friends especially have done and contributed to themselves, family and community.Here is hoping others and especially those that have crossed your threshold at Al Manar will take the game further exampling what that 'school' had done in the last 20 odd years. Al fatihah to Pak Chik and success to that Ist class honours student who should be in a school who could use her ability and wisdom. Nevertheless all the best to her and esp to both of you.
