You know..if the one thing I could wish for in my life..it is probably I would wished that time would stood still during my childhood years.. God! everything was so easy back then..life was sooo simple and happy. I would never had a care in the world..it was just play..play... and play again..then eat..oh yeah the only part I hate was going to bed, it was only because I had to stop playing!
Yes I know, it is only a wishful thinking, it is unlogical..unethical maybe to some! but sometimes when things got so complicated, we tend..no! I tend to sneak for a little moment, dreaming of something nice back to my childhood days again..ohhh that would ease my mind...sigh. Opss hello!!! wake up!!! back to reality! this is a cruel world..stay focus..stay alert..get that low life spirit of yours up and running again, and for god's sake please try to stay alive at least until your kids get to be independent. Yup that's my alarm clock in my head..each time I suddenly dozed off again.
During my childhood time, I was so hurry wanted to grow up..always pretending acting as a grown up person. I always thought that being a grown up..an adult was so cool..why is it so?, well for one, you are taller, much taller, you are smarter, you have freedom! you could shave every morning ( haha!!) you get to drive a real car! and you have money!!!. Boy! I was so darn wrong hah!
One of the most important thing that as a kid that we never had in our vocabulary was the word "responsibility"..heck what is that! it is too complicated for a child to understand. Even some adults still having problem to comprehend this..that is why there are so many chaos in our society.
Well..now officially I am an adult, being an adult for the last how many years?..hmmm I lost count...nevermind, well let's go back to my checklist when I was 10 years old energetic, hyperactive! little Dennis the Menace!
1) Taller - yes! but..tough luck only just a little taller - I'm the hobbit type..bummer!
2) Smarter - well I think sometimes I am smart..but most of the time just stupid..
3) Freedom - temporary only..then I got married hehehe...well that's another story :P
4) Shave - yes..no more joy! it is routine job now. no wonder the Gillette boys are so rich..its never stops!!!
5) Real car - ahh yes..but damn I'm two months due..argghh when was the last time I serviced my car!
6) Money - It is never enough..flows out like the water, when will I find a DAM?? like The Three Gorges Dam..sigh..certainly not in this working life.
.....and the list goes on..
An adult can go crazy..if he or she doesn't understand the word responsibility..and this word is not a one time off, when you understand it..that's it you will practise it and remember it for life..hell no!! the word is so easy for us to be forgotten!..It has to be reminded all the time..well I don't know about you guys..maybe you all the smart type..me I am just stupid and dumb so I have to remind myself..or most of the time my wife and kids have to remind me.
I have a life, it is no silver spoon but it is my life..with my beloved family. Thank God! I am still sane, for now and committed to be a responsible person and hope to be that way till the day I die.

Depression...a sign before a tragic end
Depression...is a dangerous disease.
It feeds on your soul..slowly you feel the darkness, the hollow...the despair growing inside of you. You feel such an emptiness...sad and sorrow, to such extent if you succumb to it, you may want it to end by taking your life! In some stage of our life, surely we are caught by the disease just like when we caught a flu. Most of the time we managed to overcome this by building our defenses holistically and spiritually.
Unfortunately not all of us could survive this dreadful sickness. Quite a number of us perished and died wastefully by committing suicide or ran amok by hurting others and even murdering innocent people. It is a very tragic and sad tale each time when we see in the news..read in the papers..a person gunned down dozens of people before killing himself/herself..or a teenager commit suicide just because he/she failed in their exam..
Sometimes we could identify these people who are suffering from depression..most of the time, they tend to isolate themselves from the crowd, tend to be alone..sometimes they could hear little voices talking to them..I don't really know..but some of the incidents happened, these people claimed they were instructed to do harm because of these voices telling them to do so. Only the person knows the real deal or may not..since insanity has taken control.
Some people who realized that they are suffering from it, who are still sanely and still in control of themselves would seek help through counseling, getting support from their loved ones, and even better seek assistance through religious approach. In this fast moving world..this kind of disease are getting more and more common. Beware! seek help before it is too late!

A story of an autistic boy : Faris
Faris was born in a private clinic at Sg Ramal Kajang, He was vacuumed out in order to avoid suffocation. I remembered one of the nurses assisted in the delivery asked the doctor why was the baby cried too soft not as loud as a normal baby. The doctor just jokingly said you should not teased the baby, it will hurt his feelings. We as the newly parents were not aware of anything unusual , but I think the doctor knew...what was in store for us
When he was 2 months old, he was diagnosed with Venticular Septal Defects (VSD), in simple term means, he had a hole in his heart. As he grew by the months..his hole was getting bigger, we were advised to go for surgery to patch up the hole. He was barely 10 months old going for the surgery. I remembered, me and my wife, we were so young 25 & 23..still in shocking stage..the operation at IJN lasted for almost 3 hours. I could still recalled how I cried hysterically at the first sight I saw him at the ICU room, his tiny boney body was wired all over. Normally in any VSD closure operation, the patient would be in ICU for three days before the patient is being transferred to a normal ward. But Faris did not stablize, he was in coma, for two long weeks..we felt like forever. We are being tormented each time the doctors scrambled to revive him..we could not take it the dreadful feeling of losing him....we just can't live with that..we can't let him go. At the same time..the company that I worked winded up..I had no job..but we never cared..all our thoughts were all focused on Faris.
Before the operation, my mom advised me to pray a lot..but I never really took her advise seriously..and being the so called modern thinking..I put my trust on the doctors, whom I thought could do wonders. Until one day, I just do not know why, based on my gut feeling, I requested Faris to be transferred from the adult ICU once the paedratric ICU has a vacant spot. As I was looking at Faris from a far, the doctors did a routine check up..I could still recalled the exact words blurted out for one of the doctors..she said " budak ni takda harapan, this boy is hopeless, he has no chance". What she did not realize I was there and could heard what she said..I still curse that doctor till this very day. So much for putting trust on the doctors. At the same time, I realized, the only one I should seek help is from Allah..I felt so ashamed..so helpless..I begged for Faris to be saved. That was the time I really really pray my heart and soul out..tears were flowing each time..wanting..begging..praying...for Faris to survive this ordeal. Strangely, at the same time..I felt so calm..started to feel compose..settled down. Somehow there was a feeling that things will turned out just fine.
On the day, my wife's grandma ( Tok wan) visited my son at IJN, that was the first time Faris finally opened his eyes..woke up from his two weeks in coma. Since then, his condition improved tremendously..he became stable and after a few days, he was transferred to the normal ward. After almost a month, my wife, who had sacrificed so much finally get to sleep besides him. This is a blessing in disguise..I have realized now..of course, being a weak forgetful human as I am..I need to be reminded all the time, I guess that is why we are always being 'tested' so that we will not go astray along the way.
The doctors who treated Faris marvelled at his turning point of recovery. After three years of follow ups at IJN, the hospital declared that no further follow up was required, he has fully recovered.
Little that we know, Faris has something else waiting to surprise us yet again. At three years old and going to be four, we started to worry, why he tends to play by himself and do not mixed with other children at his nursery school..why he has not spoken a single word..not even "mama". We took him to HUKM for check up, then the second blow came to us..he was diagnosed for Autism and ADHD.
Autism by definition is a term that refers to a collection of developmental disorders that affect the brain. This brain disorder affects a person's ability to communicate, form relationship with others, and respond appropriately to the external world.
ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity is a disorder of childhood and adolescence characterized by lack of impulse control, inability to concentrate, and hyperactivity.
Since then, he has been doing routine theraphy, an early theraphy intervention the doctors called it, in order to help him to cope and adjust to the best of his ability comparing to a normal kid. At that point of time, we started to become worried for his future since we know now that there is no cure for Autistic child and this is a life impairment. The theraphy includes from speech, music, computer, behaviour etc. These kind of theraphies have different approach and different name such as Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)and Picture Exchange Communications System (PECS). All this therapies and special school he attended is by far not cheap..it is very expensive. Not many choices of special school available and the structure of these special school in general are not well organized. The public schools in our country is not uptodate with the development of special children needs, that is why many parents who could afford would go for private schools which are better structured ( although not even to international standards). For other parents, they had no choice but to stick with the public schools. The problem with public schools, that there are short of teachers in special education..moreover the students from all different kinds of diagnosed from dexlesia, ADHD, down syndrome, slow learners and autistic are included in one class. Whereas my opinion, these children should be educated on one to one session.
Faris's diagnosed also changed our life completely. We as parents felt guilty of what he is going through, what will become his future..we also felt that how will our families, friends and people will look at us and treat us..in short we felt isolated, depressed and outcast by the society. Our emotions become quite unstable from being very sensitive, depressed and protactive. The accepatance of our Malaysian society on Autistic children is still very low ( such a dissapointment) I hate them..sometimes whenever these so called 'perfect people' looked at us, as if we came from a different planet, or think that autism is contagious, we felt so hurt,sad and so depressed. I sometimes wished that they would have children or relatives like we do, and so that they will ONLY understand and be more understanding towards autistic chilren and parents like us. Life has become such a struggle for us in accepting the fact that this is a reality and we need to face it, accept it and improve it.
But this take us many years to finally adjust to this condition. Many phases we need to go through..many many challeges we have to overcome. In the year 2006, he stared to get epilepsy or seizure each time he was having fever..this took another toll in our life, i remembered driving frantically rushing home each time when he has seizure. His seizure attacks became worse and worse each time until it happened even when he is well. One strong seizure occured in year 2007, and the doctor diagnosed this as status epilepticus. Afterthat Faris had to go through many many test from EEG, MRI and etc. The hospital was like our 2nd home.
As we carry on with our life, each day trying to make the best of what we can. Though I feel, there should be more efforts I wished I could contribute, more time I wished I could spent with him, but I guess statisfying myself could never happen. Deep in my heart, I still fear for his future..can he become independent in his adulthood? will he has friends and other family relatives that are willing to take care of him and support him?. Although I can't have the assurance on his future, but I have faith..I am sure, Faris will always has his footings..Allah will look after him, his 'rezeki' and well being InsyaAllah will be taken care of.
Today, Faris has made tremendous achievements. He is now 10. He is now able to uttered a few words although it is not clearly most of the time, but to us each time he has a new vocabulary, it is a celebration for us. His behaviour has improved remarkably, I would say his ADHD has minimized.
He smiles a lot. He laughs a lot too. He is always cheerful and in chirpy mood. At first glimpse, many would have thought he is just a normal 10 years old boy. But nobody knew that this boy has gone through many many episodes in his life...and he does not understand that life is not very kind in our world..as he grew older and become adult, there will be more, far more difficult challeges he has to face, and at that time he has to face it alone. Yes, we accept that he is not normal, because he is more than an average child, he is an extraordinaire. I am so proud and thankful of his accomplishment. He is my son..and I am a proud father.

Memories of year 2009
Salam...
Wow! I still could not believe, 2009 is leaving..thus 2010 will soon take over..it's another day...another week..another month..and yet again another year. Time speeds like a bullet. It is so fast, It's still feels like January 2009 was just like a couple months ago. How on earth things moved so fast? I guess we all are too busy running our day to day chores of our life.
Anyway, let us not let time dictates our life. We are supposed to be able to manage our time..make it a quality time..always!!! Let's us make everyday..a better day by day..year by year..and if we stumble..it does not matter how many times we fall..the most important is that we could stand up..and move on again! let's us learn from past, for a pleasant drive of the present day and hope the best for the years to come.

It's my birthday today!!!
Salam...
11th October 2009..it's my birthday today! the 35th to be exact. Wow! talk about age..boy! I feel old all of a sudden. Anyway, it's good to know Luke Perry & Michelle Wie share the same birthday with me..of course nobody cares who the heck I am. Anyway for some, at 35, they have accomplished their dreams, their goals..anything from making the first million $$$, owning a grand big bungalow perhaps?, achieving financial freedom...and etc. These goals are more on the material prespective. 
Well, let see at 35, what have I accomplished? how do I compare my self with the others of my age? how do I measure? Do I get a D? C+? B+ or A? I really don't know...infact it's kind of scary to even think about it especially if the person I compare with is far better than me...I would definately feel inferior.
I guess, first of all..I should take a deep breath...and syukur..many2 thanks to Allah for granting me another day to live on this planet. Syukur because I still have a roof over my head ( although it is no Bungalow or some posh condominium) but it's what I called heaven on earth..my home sweet home. Syukur because I have the most fantastic!!loving wife ( bodek le ni) who really supports me through thick and thin...syukur because I have my beautiful kids that colours my life..cheer me up during my stressful days. Now, that really put a smack big wide smile on my face..I am so glad and thankful of what I have with me today.
Of course, I won't keep my guard down..or just be happy on my state of today...like other people, we all need to be better day by day..we all have our goals in life..it is painted a perfect picture for us.

Eid Fitri 2009
Ramadhan telah pun berlalu...sedih juga, I really miss the barakah atmosphere, betapa penuhnya masjid2 & surau2, betapa bersatunya umat Islam ketika itu..miss juga tgk pasar ramadhan yang sentiasa 'happening' walaupun H1N1 masih aktif. Setelah Ramadhan berakhir kini tibalah Syawal pada hari Sabtu ( 20hb Sept 2009).
Pagi Raya ke-2, kami bertolak dari rumah kami di Kajang dalam pukul 8:30pagi ke kampung kakak ipar aku di Bachok Kelantan. Kami melalui Karak-Lebuh Raya Pantai Timur-Cherating-Kemaman-Kerteh-Marang-Kuala Terengganu. Mulanya plan nak stay kat Hotel Permai Inn ataupun Sumai Hotel di KT, tapi disebabkan jem teruk sangat setibanya di Marang, kami pun terjah jer hotel mana yang terjumpa!. Akhirnya bermalam di Hotel Seri Malaysia Marang.
MasyaAllah, teruknya keadaan hotel tu!! so dusty..so dirty..worst of all, toilet pun tersumbat!! aku siap minta tukar bilik sampai tiga kali..I shall never set my foot in that hotel again!. Seriously the management needs to revamp the whole area..semua dah shabby jer..
Tahun ini, kami beraya hari pertama Eid Fitri di rumah ibubapa aku di Damansara Utama. Alhamdullilah semua adik-beradik ada berkumpul di pagi raya tersebut. Semuanya gembira belaka, ye lah kan hari raya..syukur nikmatNya. Aku terpaksa menahan godaan juadah Hari Raya terutamanya ketupat & rendang!!! baru je dua minggu lepas Doktor aku dah warning, I must lose some weight and eat moderately + exercise!!!. Berat juga godaan juadah raya! mana boleh tahan beb! aku makan jugalah tapi dengan kuantiti yang sedikit.

The next day ( third day Raya) kami bertolak dari Marang melalui Jalan Pantai - Kampung Raja-Tok Bali-Malawi-Besut-Bachok. The journey almost like 3 hours plus. I enjoyed 
very much the long journey balik kampung...beautiful sceneries...the waving coconut trees..the clean white beaches along KT..the rural areas..the malay kampungs...ahhhh so nice...so peaceful..wished I could have like a month holiday!!!
very much the long journey balik kampung...beautiful sceneries...the waving coconut trees..the clean white beaches along KT..the rural areas..the malay kampungs...ahhhh so nice...so peaceful..wished I could have like a month holiday!!!Of course during Eid Fitri..the kids have all the fun in the world..they're up and playing with their cousins all day..all night..playing fire crackers..flying kites..and all the games they could think of. As for us, the grown ups, we are off shopping till we our last single ringgit!!! ( hehe just kidding), of course we did go kind of overboard on shopping, anyway its only once a year you get to balik kampung..so what the heck, just a little slip up once a year, won't hurt me much..I'll get over it.
The other thing that is nice in Kelantan is their food!!! we really belasah those ayam perciks..Mee Kg Pek..Nasi Sumatera..and many many more!!! Kelantan food fest galore!!! all throughout Syawal.
After spending about three days in Kelantan, finally its time to head home, we travelled back to KL on friday morning..spent the night at Suria Cherating ( this is a really good hotel!!) We brought a lots of keropok kering & lekor at Cherating & Tok Bali on our way back. The next day we're off to KL. reached KL about 2 hours..no jam great!!!.
