Reflection
Ayra, six months old
Much like the mother, Nurul
A close reflection
Ayra is lucky
Nurul is able to care
With loving tender
When Nurul was baby
We left her to Kak Mus hands
The trusted helper
She too came that day
To wish them the best of luck
On their island move
In response to my friend's request, I am posting this in the hope that I would not hibernate too many a time.

When it does start it'll have a life of its own. Great write, Hal! Little Ayra is providing the jump start. A cute little one, she is! Nicely!

Thanks for the compliments and I will try to keep up the momentum with your prodding.
Dear Hank,
I hope it does and wish your book project takes off nicely.
This is the result of you hibernating. I stopped calling here as there was nothing for months. Now you have Ayra to keep you writing about. No doubt you will now shuttling by fast rail betwween Seremban and JB -to Singapore, for Ayra
I wonder how this beatiful name, Ayra came about
Dear Pakcik,
You are right on the dot. Perhaps we have to use more of firefly before the bullet train come along. My apologies for the long slumber. Anyway Hank wants a sparring partner, and how can I refuse him as it reminds me of my boxing days when I was a new boy in RMC.
