The thought that hounds us

When you are young, you only think of what to play, with whom and where..

At adolescent, your thought are crushes, exams and clubs.

For young adults, we start thinking of our future. What course to take, where to study and where to work.. 

Adults would start thinking of starting a family, mortgages, and other finances.

I have gone through all these stages. Now I am nearing retiring age, what do you think came to my thought...

My youngest son berkhatan...


It was 23rd December 2010..The day my youngest son finally agreed to have the circumcision. He said on one condition.: "amir nak tidor masa dia potong" so I looked up the hospitals and clinics in Sg Petani but none have it done under anesthetics. The only place that I could find is Kedah Medical Centre (KMC) in Alor Setar. So, off we went there and had an appointment made.

On the 23rd, we left for KMC for the operation. At 10am, he was pushed inside the operation theater. It will only take about half an hour. Since I haven't had any breakfast yet, we went down for som
ething to eat at the cafeteria.


We went up at 10.20am but he has not came out yet..At almost 11.15am , he was pushed out from the operation theater. He was all smiles and chatting with the male nurse.
I asked him if it hurts or not..No, he said..That's a relief...

Amir after the operation in the ward at KMC..

He complaint that he was hungry. I realised that he hadn't had any food since the night before. The doctor told him to fast for at least six hours before the operation and he hadn't had any breakfast yet. So my husband went down to the shop to get some bread for him first, then we went out to buy lunch.




He was discharged around 2.30pm and we went straight home to Sungai Petani.
Amir is a man now....

Amir at home......

PRINCIPLES OF LIFE...PAUSE, REVIEW AND GO..

"HOW YOU START YOUR DAY WILL DETERMINE HOW THE REST OF YOUR DAY GOES" This is one of my life principal which I hold dearly. No matter how you feel, always pause before you act. It is certainly worth it. The few seconds you take will change your day or maybe your whole life.

None of us wanted bad things to happen but things do happens and our next course of action will always determine the outcome. What you give is what you get back. If you want the good things then take a good actions.

Our actions are within our control. We had a choice to make things better or worst.

Easier said than done. Yes. It takes great control to stop before taking action; especially when it involves emotions. I believe we had experience bad decision made and regretting immediately. We start wishing we had stop first before taking actions. 

How many of us wish that we could turn back the clock? I do as I am very sure most of you do as well. 
Knowing that every actions come with consequences certainly have an effect to our decisions. But how many of us can say with confidence that we always stop and think first before we do anything?

It takes a lot of self control and practice do make perfect. A matter of heart is not as easy as said. Let us start now and who knows we can change our outcome just by pausing our action for a second. It certainly worth it. Believe Me...

Semoga Ayah tenang di sana 10 May 2020

It has been nearly2 years  since my father left us making us "yatim piatu" on 10th May 2020. He had kidney complications and stroke which caused him to be delirious..(that was what we thought) but later we found out that he was "istighfar".I managed to be with him for a few days at the hospital and that was the last duty I did for him before he left us.

My father was a strict man. He values time and as he was a teacher, he was very dicipline. He despised lateness and bad handwriting( lucky me I was not his student) hehehe..He likes to complaint if things did not go his way but he has a good heart. 

He always donate to the road cleaner if he found that he liked them. He always carry RM10 change in his pocket whenever he went out. I knew because I was the one supplying him the money. One thing about him was that he loved to talk about his family and his past experiences. Whoever get to know him
will always ended up staying late with him just to hear his stories. 

He had a few books under his pen name "Halim R" and his last should had been his biography but still unfinished. I may need to go through his notes if I want to help him finished his last book. I am procrastinating as I still don't have time to study his notes, Maybe once I retire, I can start looking into it.

Ayah, we became quite close after mom passed away. You were lonely and we found you a replacement and she has been very good to you until your last breath. May you are granted peace and all your sins forgiven. We love you and I am sure you knew it ..Till we meet again ...

Zhafri will be doing his intern this year for 3 months and hopefully will complete his studies by this year.

How time flies...

It has been awhile . It is either I have lost the interest in writing or I just dont know what to say anymore. But one thing for sure, I still read my few favorite blogs...

Time flies too fast nowadays. I just started to get busy at work and it is already  time to go \home. It felt like I just doze off and the sun has started rising ...And I just started to post my blog and it is almost midnite...Dear me..

Life move on, We had to move fast to catch up the time. How time flies...A moment of turning back and you are long gone from the rest. There is no time to ponder nor hesitate.. Decision need to be made fast and move on...

I am now 56 yo and looking back, I have not done anything that differ from when I was 36 yo. But life keep move on and I always belief that what has past, let it passed. Live for today for a better tomorrow.

I have not been to my parents house due to the pandemic of COVID 19 for awhile. Last week, I came back to my house from Langkawi and thought of dropping by their house just to see how they were doing. Well, I made a few excuses to go there.

When I reached their house, I knocked on the door. It was not locked, I opened the door and my dad was sitting at his usual seat by the window with his sarong and shirtless. Gave him Salaam and both my husband and me stood by the doorway.

I did not want to go in as I had just arrived from Langkawi through Ferry at Kuala Kedah . God knows what germs/viruses I could have brought with me during the 2 hour journey. Standing at the doorway, dad looked like he had lost lots of weight. As usual, being a chatter box as he usually is, he invited us in and keep calling mom who was busy packing food for us. (my first excuse was I wanted her to tapaw sambal tumis telor-her delicious dish) and getting my ikan bilis (my second excuse) ready.

We left for home after getting a whole plastic bag of goodies from mom. Just before we got out of the neighbourhood, mom called me. I thought she forgot to pack something but she said dad wanted to talk to me.

Dad apologized for not recognizing us. He thought I was an old lady with my grandson...!! Actually I was wearing a long mini telekung and he presume that I was some friend of my mom came with my cucu (which is my husband). My husband had a time of his life when he heard that ...!!

That made me realised that dad is getting old and losing his sight slowly. Mind you, he is going to be 83 this year. I hope he has a long life and remain as happy as he is for years to come.
