The tree with yellow flowers

Happiness is sitting under a tree. The special tree with yellow flowers. Happiness is seeing blooms fall down as the wind blows. And beyond the leaves kites dance in the sky. And on the ground the butterflies flutter. They flutter on the green-green grass they flutter on the golden petals. Can you see them? They are the picture of happiness.

On the background you can hear music. The laughing children on the squeaking swing. The chirpy black magpie on the twig. Raucous guys playing football. High-school cheerleaders practicing their moves, chanting their cheers, and at them the boys whistle. Can you hear the symphony? The orchestra without instruments. They are the sound of happiness.

MAGPIE BIRD

A little boy is playing under the tree. He is happiness to me.

SWINGING HAPPILY

I LOVE SLIDES

Luth Mikael Azman, 15 months, at our neighborhood park in Bandar Kinrara

He holds his head high and looks around with glee. He is charmed with the flowers, the little birds, the playful children. Happiness to me is the crunching of leaves beneath his feet, for now he is walking.

Happiness to me is the new word that he is saying, for now he is actively learning. Happiness to me is the scent of his lithe body, as he runs free on the field, sway on swing and swoop down the slides.
Happiness to me is seeing him happy. As his eyes glisten, his expressions priceless and as he looks up at me with so much wonder, how does Mummy break this stick?

Funny lil Miki learns a new word again, this time it’s Patah or break

Great many things that the boy can see, and great many lessons that he can learn. By just sitting under the tree.

Soon the little boy will grow bigger and will face the challenges that rule the world. Before the time arrives come sit with Mummy, son. Sit under the tree and let me tell you the story of the yellow flowers, the black magpie and the laughing children. Be wise my son, and be good. Because Mummy loves you like nobody could.

    asssalamualaikum semua,

    saya bersyukur kerana miki telah mempelajari sesuatu yg berharga dan bercirikan ‘baik’ dari pengaruh saya melalui ‘oooooo’nya. banyak lagi ilmu yang ingin saya perturunkan kepada miki. dan saya juga mendapat kabar gembira bahawa miki juga ada nama lain utk ‘cicak’. tahniah miki
