Rohani (pictured left) and I met 25 years ago on neutral ground in Auckland, New Zealand - an Australian on a working holiday and a Malaysian student. We eventually married and made our home in Australia. Like all young couples we rented for several years and eventually we were able to buy a house in Outer Western Sydney where we live till this day.

We were blessed with 3 children (pictured below) - 2 are currently in High School while the "baby" is in grade 6. As you can see from the pictures, they keep us very busy with extra curricular activities - but we enjoy it.

We can be pigeon-holed under the label SINKS (single income, numerous kids) and as such do not lead a high-flying life. Every two to three years we manage to return to Malaysia to visit the folks there - something the kids enjoy, not so much for the sightseeing etc., but rather because they have so many cousins to play with. We try to get away for a yearly holiday within Australia - nothing glamorous, just touring to other areas and seeing a bit of our country, sometimes roughing it in overnight vans, sometimes staying in motels. Our leisure activities are family-dominated, visiting friends for barbeques or the occasional picnic. Now the kids are older, we sometimes go on "dates" together to the movies and restaurants or shows - when the budget allows.

These are my children.  They are my joy, my sorrow and my everything.  My love for them is unconditional.  If I have my life all over again, I will have them all over again.
