Amal yang soleh..

Sempat tengok Program Halaqah di TV9 malam tadi,tapi dah sampai penghujung..Penceramah bebas iaitu Dr Danial Zainal Abidin, sambil dalam keadaan sedu membuat kesimpulan/pesanan bahawa kita perlulah melaksanakan amal soleh yang sempurna dengan dua perkara, iaitu dengan hati yang tulus ikhlas dan mengikut syariat Islam.

Dan apabila amal soleh itu sempurna, nescaya Allah berikan kepada hambaNya tiga perkara:

1) Pahala
2) Hilang rasa ketakutan
3) HIlang rasa duka cita

Sungguh tenang hati insan2 yang memenuhi kriteria2 tersebut. Ya Allah semoga hambamu yang hina ini juga tergolong dalam kategori ini.AMIN

My son sufferred a second attack of Status epilepticus

Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening condition in which the brain is in a state of persistent seizure. Definitions vary, but traditionally it is defined as one continuous unremitting seizure lasting longer than 30 minutes, or recurrent seizures without regaining consciousness between seizures for greater than 30 minutes (or shorter with medical intervention). It is always considered a medical emergency. There is some evidence that 5 minutes is sufficient to damage neurons and that seizures are unlikely to self-terminate by that time. First aid guidelines for seizures state that, as a rule, an ambulance should be called for seizures lasting longer than 5 minutes (if this is the patient's first seizure episode and there were no known precipitating factors, or if SE happens to an epileptic whose seizures were previously absent or well-controlled for a considerable time period, then that step can be taken before that point).The mortality rate of status epilepticus is very high (at least 20%), especially if treatment is not initiated quickly. However, with optimal neurological care and a good prognosis, the patient (even some people who have been diagnosed with epilepsy) in otherwise good health can survive with minimal or no brain damage, and can even avoid future seizures.


This was the second deadly attack he had suffered. Thank god, it happened in a town where medical assistance is within 5 minutes reach. Faris has been on epilepsy medication for more than 5 years, and in the last 3 years he had not suffered any epilepsy attack, that was why his neurologist advised to reduce the dosage and ultimately stop the medication. The phase out dosage schedule took six months without any problem. Hence we thought he is finally out of the woods, if not totally but at least 90% free from epilepsy (minimal attack).

Just when we thought the worst was over, not even three days free from his epilepsy medication, he had the worst epilepsy attack ever. Words can't never describe how afraid we were at the point of losing him, it was the same feeling we had when he was in critical condition after his open heart surgery (VSD closure) at IJN. Alhamdullillah, he survived again. though we might not know how bad the damage had caused to his brain cells in the long run, but we felt very relief that he is able to recognized us and seems to be his usual self.

The scary part now, is to wait until he is 100% stable before we plan our journey back to Kuala Lumpur and review his condition again with his neurologist. Our prayers may Faris will always stay strong and healthy.

Syurga itu di bawah telapak kaki ibu

Hadis Riwayat Abu Hurairah yang bermaksud:

Seorang lelaki telah datang kepada Rasulullah saw Dia berkata; "Ya Rasulullah, siapakah orang yang paling baik aku dampingi?"

Rasulullah saw menjawab: "Ibu mu. Dia berkata lagi; "selepas itu siapa?" Rasulullah saw menjawab: "Ibu kamu." Dia masih bertanya lagi: "Siapa?" Rasulullah saw menjawab lagi: "Ibu kamu." orang lelaki itu bertanya lagi, "Selepas itu siapa?" Rasulullah saw menjawab Bapa kamu".


Mengapa perlunya supaya lebih menyayangi ibu kita daripada bapa?. Sebabnya ialah kerana besarnya jasa serta pengorbanan seorang ibu itu terhadap anaknya. Ibulah yang mengandungkan bayi, melahirkan, menyusu, mengasuh, membesarkan hingga mendidik dan dicukupi segala keperluan kita dengan secara ikhlas. Betapa besarnya jasa yang dapat kita berikan kepada ibu kita, namun belum tentu kita dapat menyamai jasa dan pengorbanan yang diberikan oleh seorang ibu.!


Terpikir aku sejenak..masa zaman kanak-kanak lebih mudah meluahkan rasa sayang dan kasih kita pada ibu..bila remaja..itu la masa yg paling rasanya byk menyusahkan ibu..malah mungkin byk melukakan hati ibu..skrg bila dewasa serta mempunyai keluarga sendiri..barulah aku sedari betapa terlalu besarnya pengorbanan seorang ibu..


Selamat Hari Ibu!! kepada Mak dan juga isteriku.

12th year anniversary

Do you still recall how we first met?
Back then we used the 'middle agent' instead of internet
You captured my heart
Right from the start
With your sweet, warmth and caring heart.


Sometimes I wonder of the other better guys who were more ahead
Why you accepted me instead
For I am not rich..not tall..not smart..just an average head
But wait! hmmm...maybe my charm magnetized you..for without it you'll get heartache!


I count my blessings and thanks to Allah.
For having my soul partner as perfect and pretty as you.
You are my pillar of strength whenever I crack and break
You give me hope, strength and courage whenever I am in wreck


Twelve years of marriage..still seems like yesterday.
Come Hell or High water..you never forsake nor turn astray
Many times in our journey, the road was never a straight Hi-way
But yet you have always been my faithful co-driver ready to pull my ears whenever I slipped away!


Thank you for being the world's best mama to Faris & Fatin
Thank you for being my best friend, my other half, my wife cum my sleeping partner
Sorry dear! I can't give you a Merc..or a Bungalow like some Datuks..
Just this simple..and (cost free!) poem to wish you Happy 12th year Anniversary!!

11th Oct..

Alhamdullillah...syukur Allah panjangkan umurku untuk menyambut hari lahir aku yg ke 26..(hehehe tersengaja tersilap typo)..ye la yang ke-36 ( I'm still living in denial). Syukur kerana dikelilingi keluarga tersayang dan sahabat handai..syukur kerana limpah rahmat yang diberikanNya.

For me, nothing is really special about my birthday..more like a reminder that time is short and fast. But the cutest thing that melt my heart was when my children really got excited in preparing the surprise for me..My wife and Fatin teamed up for the surprise gift and etc. LOL..but of course, Fatin as her usual could not contained the excitement...she kept on giving me hints and clues..( although I never asked..) I pretended to be clueless and played along with her. Finally when I saw the surprise...her face beamed up with the biggest smile!. She was so thrilled and satisfied that I finally saw it. Now that's really felt good in me..it is nice to see when our children at very tender age show their appreciation to their loved ones.

It's a good stress buster-theraphy for me too. It reminds me that my life is so blessed..and not taking things for granted..Living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment of it. Thanks Ila, Faris & Fatin for the surprise..you guys are my most precious gifts..you are my God-sent gifts!!

Miscarriage

A few of months ago, we have decided to have another baby after Faris & Fatin. Our youngest is now 7 years old. Rasa macam a newly-wed couple pulak, starting a family! lol..well 7 years its definately a very long gap you know! . Felt like I got Amnesia pun ada.." Omigosh! I forgotten how to change a diaper, or how to burp a baby"...Wow! yes it is that long..and I started to realized that I am getting older and my life is getting shorter.

Well after some time, we thought finally we hit the jackpot, finally, after 7 long years of break in service, the baby factory is now back on business and finally i can call myself..I'm da man!!(again). Anyway the call was short-lived, maybe it is not our time yet, bukan rezeki lagi.

My wife had a miscarriage, and on the 28th Sep 2010, the doctor performed the Dilation and Curettage (D&C)Procedure. I felt real bad and I know my wife too felt even more devastated, we truly yearn to have another baby, but it is probably not our time yet.

I guess we have to be more patience, and try again..with lots of preparation ( prayers, vitamins & etc) well since age is catching up, I guess fertile is not very common around late 30s?? hehehe just kidding!

My prayers, may Allah grant us another child, a healthy and perfect baby someday. Amin. ( oh yes.. and make it as cute as me ( if it's a boy ) and as pretty as my wife (if it's a girl ) :P
