Grahame, Diana, Benjamin and Kimberley.


Kimberley and Benjamin
Got an email from England. From Diana and her family. And that brought me back memories way back to Penang, USM over 20 years ago.

She and Nirah's mom were classmates. And of coz, by virtue of that became my friend as well. They were the best of friends for reasons only known to them. But one thing for sure, Diana has always been a truly genuinely nice person in every aspect you would want out of a person.

Later on I graduated and they were together in USM for next 3 years. Then we got married and I worked in KL. Diana came to KL to work and stayed with us for a while.



When Nirah was born, she naturally became Nirah's god mother.

Then Diana went to London for her Masters Degree. Met Grahame and eventually settled down.

Nirah used to follow them around when they came back to Penang for a holiday in Penang and Southern Thailand.

Diana, the most unlikeable candidate for a full time mom and housewife did just that after being blessed with their first child, Kimberley.

About 3 years ago, Diana came back to Malaysia with her 2 kids and it was just magic to see her handling her kids. She was really trying very hard to impress the 2 young kids' mind that they had family and friends back here in Malaysia. What a mother!

The 2 young children might not be able to appreciate much at that point of time, but 10-15 years down the road, they would probably love it to have god parents like us here in Malaysia.

We look forward to the day to be able to really let them have the opportunity to experience and enjoy a very different culture back home here in Malaysia where the mom used to come from.

In a way, Nirah is following her god mum's footsteps. She is planning to work here in Malaysia for 3 years upon her graduation next year and planning to go to Canada for her Masters Degree. We are all for it. We did not have the luxury of choice during our time and we really would love her to live life to the fullest and be what she dreams to be. Life has to be lived BIG.

And to Diana, we share your happiness for living the life that you live now. Just remember you guys are always welcomed to come home to stay with us back here, anytime.

Love, from us all from Malaysia.
