A blessed life..

Last entry was 7th August 2008.

Almost forgotten that i had a blog. Its been 4 years 3 months since an entry was made. That was a long period. Lots of things had happened. Move to a new house more than a year new. Sort of my retirement home, i think , before the ever after. All kids have left home now. All in Uni.

Amir in UniKL, Amirah in IIUM and Athirah in INTI Uni .Went for a stent (Heart Artery expansion) 2 years back. The angioplasty really open up your heart and mind whom you really are and purpose in life.
Enjoying cycling now besides the usual hiking up BM Tokkun
Last month to Maxwell Hill 1035m metres ASL. Before that was the Stong , Ayam  and Baha and before that was the Tahan 2075 m (Highest peak in Peninsular) 7 days 6 nights.

Have mellowed now a bit. Should be.  Once you've hit the half decade or 2/3 of your life has now gone. How long more will be the 1/3? Soulful thinking, meaning of life and the hereafter.

Been attending  kuliah quite regularly now especially after the Maghrib session at Masjid Batu Kawan. Listening to IKIM, Tanyalah Ustaz,AL Hijrah, Oasis and various religiously motivated talks while driving. O yeah, Astro at last for the home . After 50 years..hehe..Found out that the more you've learned, the more that you dont know . How very true was the saying.

Did my first ever Korban last Raya Haji. Come to think of it, lots of  things never cross my mind of the need to do these things before.

Syukur alhamdullillah to the Almighty for what you have blessed me and wishes granted and opening my heart and mind to be a subservient obedient servant to you always......

A year an entry

Last entry 28 March 2007, wahhhh...a year an entry. How bout that? and its a surprise this blog is still alive. So what has happened a year ago? Lotsa things. The eldest is in UniKL now doing Dip in Aircraft Maintenance, the second is in UIA, doing Foundation for Architecture and the youngest in BM High form 2. Besides that bought an apartment in Cameron(Desa Anthurium) and a 1 1/2 storey bungalow at Bandar Cassia Batu Kawan. Financially looking ok....future prospects still managing. 10 years more to work. They have extended the compulsory retirement age to 58. Hopefully can live passed that age....haha.
Workwise, ups and down, roller coaster but managing, i suppose if i were to stick to what i am workwise, that should be ok.
Till then....here's to the past, present and future....

Now what?

So its final, the small one coming back for good from KYS. Well at least we tried. Never said we didnt. Nothing to lose, all to gain. The experience is enormous. Well at least its not the end of everything. She can always try to get back there later, if she wants. Now studying at BM High. Its ok...The school is old....1927. Well what do you expect, even the PM studied there. But at least the class is good. Well balance competition of mixed races. Good students too. With good grades. To stay at top 10 in class, you have to score at least 90% and above. Thats pretty high. But she strives on competition and thats good. She should be able to prove herself then. Not much of a problem now except a tinge of sadness thinking of the lost opportunities. but .....hey....who knows....what lies within. Theres always another time....
As for the big one.....i hope he learns some lesson. And it sinks in this time but i still has some doubt on him of whether he really realises whats his shortcomings are. Now to wait for whatever offers that will come in and evaluate. With his results and the stiff competitions...i dont really expect much. Now the problem with him is that...he knows what he wants to be but he doesnt really put his mind and effort to it. Now thats the problem, in fact the biggest problem....you can bring the horse tothe water but you cant force it to drink...unless of course you stick its head into the water...heheheh.....
Well at least this blog answers all the questions of the past blog. Its not so much of spending the money for the fees ...but what if he fails? Then its back to square one...all over again....nows that the pain..

Well gotta go now...hopefully i can write as frequent as i would like..
Till then.......heres to life.....hmmmmm....

Exam & Results

Hmmm...today the son is taking his first paper of arabic...donno lah...already told him ages ago about this preparation thing..but the impression was it seems ok all the time....berserah saja lah...nothing much can be done now...terima saja lah keputusan esok then hopefully boleh try all over again...
The daughters result is tomorrow....5A ..i think is no problem..but then kalau dpt asrama...going or not? I think tunggu lepas PMR lah..at form 4...coz dia nie lain sikit...if not pun maybe BM high school is quiet ok...getting to mix with all the other races..see how they work and play...rather than in an all malay school...preferably kalau dapat all female school sebab she has got the potential to develop further in her co-curriculum...tgk lah dulu bila result comes in...

As for the son....praying for the success...its not the end after all...kalau dapat matrikulasi pun its ok dah...then start all over again...maybe a slow beginner but peak later...tapi pening gak after all the lectures.....still camtu gak...i thought dah sink in...but it seem ...lum.....hmmm....gotta go...bye blog...got to do board paper...

Board papers due

Last entry made was agessss.....not really having the time to do some entry...but i find that this blogging thing is good to release tension...just scribble what ever you feel like writing...Hmmm...its 16days to go before the 2 board papers are due...slow progress...one 90% done with the other i think bout 15%. Must get started...after all its all there and just a matter of getting it organised. Then got to passed it to the manager to re-do in powerpoint format. A concise, executive summary to be presented to the board...aiyaaa...nothing much laaa...just present it and what ever is the outcome is nothing your doing...
...why am i not very happy or sort of settle down with the job? There is this feeling of wanting to do something else...my old job..pilotage...to do something which i am in full control and not bound by someone else's wants or not. Something which i can achive immediate results, satisfactions and success....maybe partly its because i'm not really in full control of my job now, not really mastering and grasping the whole job...but then who is...its 14 November today....22 syawal....still hearing raya songs and raya programmes on tv...ok..gotta go...lotsa work..

Its alive

Great...last entry made was late 2004 and doesnt know that this 'thing' is still alive....phew...2005...what a year....must have been that damn bz that couldnt find the time to write anything....or is it just a passing phase? What ever it is...2006 is here...and kinda like a new year resolution read somewhere..." to enjoy and appreciate all the simple things in live and to live each and every moment as it is..."makes kinda you wonder lots bout life...

Anyway its great to write again after a one year lapse.....hehe...kinda like lepas geram kot....

Cheers to 2006.....hmmm..wonder what lies in store for this poor soul..

Life's a journey

"......Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment, and the view from the summit will prove to be astonishing ..."

I like it this one...sorry that i have to ciplak it from one of the sites...but it tells us of our journey in life...our goals as we pass each phase..be appreciative to all that we have bearing in mind of our goals.

Tomorrow start cuti sampai weekend...looking fwd for the holiday in Langkawi...thank god for the planned achieved...with minimal expenditure.

Signing off..
