THE LIGHTS THAT MY EYES SEE THROUGH THE LENSES PART 7

All these shots were taken between 7:50 a.m. till 8:10a.m the previous day... 29th October.  

OPS!

I received an early morning call from Di.  Apparently I missed it AND had totally forgotten to return her call.  After running the usual errands for Harith and his needs from breakfast to his milk, Di called again an hour later.

 Not that bad to have forgotten to return her call....BUT...

The worse of all the forgetfulness is here to share.... This is definitely not a "senior moment" anymore....HAHAHA!

"Happy Birthday To ME MUMMY, Thank you for giving birth to me mummy, Thank you for taking good care of me Mummy. Thank you for giving me good education mummy.  I love you and I miss you!!!!!!!!"

"?????????????????? What date is it today?"

"Aaaaaaa so you are forgetting my birthday mummy?  It's the 29th."

"Ya Allah Di, I totally forgot all about it but when I was copying the morning sermons over the IKIM radio, something struck me but I did not have any idea what it was." 

...HOW could I forget my youngest child's birthday.  But I just did.

"Well Di, at least I am honestly telling you that I forgot... but May Allah gives you a healthy long life, Bless your life with His Rahmat and Rahim, leads you to the Right Path - the path He had given to his Prophet, Shahid, Sodiqin and Solihin and gives you more success in exams and life and and and...Amin"

breathlessly I went on and on with my most sincere prayer for my little "big girl" now.

I honestly forgot!!! How could I?????????

Later I came to know that Harith (he is 21 months now) has already sang her a birthday song earlier in the morning and no wonder he went on and on with this...

"Happy to you, Happy to you" endlessly that it tickled me.

Anyway, Di is having her Mid Semester exam now and today her  paper  ends at 5:00p.m after which she would rush home by ERL which starts from the KL International Airport and would stop in Cyber Jaya to pick her up.... I hope she would not be caught in the rush hour with the office workers rushing at the KL Central Station... Anyway, she has already sms me to pick her up late this evening at Taman Jaya Commuter Station.

This post with sunshines rising faithfully brightening my bedroom and this part of the globe, is especially dedicated to Di and all her sisters and her brother.  The three of them are having their important exams now till November.

All the best to all of them and may they succeed in maintaining the CGPA level required by the scholarship board.

 

 The cam was tilted at a different angel to get this brighter perspective.  I was hiding behind the cloth I hanged up high to protect my eyes from getting blinded by the strong shine.

 

I hope you have enjoyed yesterday morning's shots and if there is less sun shines in your home, please keep coming back to this blog for more and more shines to share....

THE LIGHTS THAT MY EYES SEE THROUGH THE LENSES PART 6

Three days ago ... from my bedroom window, these were what came through and had lighted up our lives all over the place.... This was after 8:00a.m

and I shall post today's lights through the same window later...

THE LIGHTS THAT MY EYES SEE THROUGH THE LENSES PART 5

Out through the huge glass door we went and into the open we got.  Snapping here, snapping there! WOW!  It's been  such a long time!  Yes, indeed it was.  Those  days I always drove my children around the city center to view the beautiful night lights, night skies of Kuala Lumpur and admiring the mixed architecture of the East and the West.

This is the view of the Public Bank from the Malaysian Philharmonic balcony.

Down we got into the open on the ground floor, we managed another snap of the fully lighter Public Bank.  It's like a block of gold bar standing there shining and all in its grandeur.

 As we turned towards the way we came... much  better views were captured.  I just do not want to miss out any of the snaps but a few looked alike... so, I omitted.  My phone cam just managed these shots.  Apparently neither of us carried any other cams.

 

 The Petronas TwinTowers

The sky bridge as they called it... brought back fond memories too.

ONCE a long time ago, back in 1997 and 98, I and my workers were contracted to clean all the carpets in the VIP rooms that has lush and thick carpets.  Wasn't I thankful?  The Bangladeshi workers were hard working and they were hired to do part time jobs for me. 

I was up this bridge one day, to watch Mc Laren driving his F1 car around the complex.

 

This is the grand Malaysia Philharmonic Hall with its pillars covered with Malaysian flags, a view from out in the street. 

 

This is the wing that housed the shopping outlets.  We managed these shots while waiting for our next chauffeur, Jay Jay to arrive.  He is my young cousin.

While Jay stopped at the red light, I managed  a quick snap of this Vietnam restaurant close by.

 

This ends the lights series in the City Center for the moment.

THE LIGHTS THAT MY EYES SEE THROUGH THE LENSES PART 3

The moment I looked up, what did I see????  The most spectacular ceiling I have ever seen... lights and lights everywhere....

ll

The seats were not fully occupied but the clapping of hands after each performance was as though the auditorium was full....  

They have the best acoustic I believe.

Before I knew it, the concert was over.  It brought back old childhood memories with such nostalgia back then in our boarding school.  The songs were so very familiar and the best part, as was never seen before... the orchestra was so creative this time. 

Beginning with something anew...They played a silent movie and the songs were perfectly synchronized with their acting.  It was An Eastern Westerner silent film starring Harold Lloyed.  Credits to the auspicious conductor Mr.Carl Davis.  Obviously he deserved an outstanding complement and a "Standing Ovation"  from us all....but... there was non.  Not a culture here, I guess.   The 20 minutes interval took us back to our suite lounge 

and we had some snacks and drinks.

During our school days, we were entertained with black and white films every week end, ranging from the adventures to the tear-rolling ones...not forgetting To Sir With Love!!!! 

After the break, the concert started with The Big Country, High Noon,  Stage Coach, Rodeo - Saturday Night Waltz and Hoe-Down, Dances With The Wolves, The Call of the Faraway Hills, the  High Chaparral  reflected fresh memories of the classic Cowboys and Indian series - the music brought back memories after memories from the old school days, Overture to Oklahoma, The Green Leaves of Summer - Battle of The Alamo (this in partcular I remembered so well because I remember watching this film back then), Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head with my most favorite actors 

Paul Newman and Robert Reford....

(I especially have strong and special bond with this song as I danced in a group  performance in school....but I was not a graceful dancer... I remember wearing long pants and blue shirt holding a folded umbrella...hahahha), 

THEN finally came the most favorite of all the songs... 

The Magnificent Seven....

The picture was taken when the concert was over and the guests were leaving.  The musician have left but the empty chairs faithfully remained there until the next night....

 That was where we were seated before the show began 

and during the 20 minute's break...

 

Out we came and caught a glimpse of this gigantic chandeliers in the middle of the lounge, hanging so prestigiously down... 

the lights and my cam did not sychronise well enough...
