Gods Gift...

It has been a long time since i wrote something.I have been lazy so lazy, well i decided to pen something when a fan of mine has asked me to write Its nice to know someone appreciates what you write.
Well, my last post was actually in June!,that shows how lazy I am.So many things have happened since June.Wish i got it all written down somewhere.One thing for sure is becoming a father for a second time.I arrived home on the 8Th of August at 2pm,My parents picked me up and we headed straight back to my in laws place in BB.My wife she was full month pregnant,she always looks so cute when she is pregnant.My daughter, Sonia who speaks clearly now,gave me a hug and would not refuse to leave me.My wife was already in full term so, she was starting to have slight pain.On the 11Th of August about 4am, she started having severe labour pain, and we knew that was it.We left about 4am,drove to Rawang about 30 minutes drive.Luckily it was 4am so there was no traffic and i dint speed at all.As soon as we arrived the Doctor said it will be at least another two hours or so before she would deliver.It was just me and her,i hate to see her suffer in pain.Then at about 7am the pain became unbearable, she went into labour.This was my first time in a labour ward,my first born was a ceaser.I was nervous,but i know my wife was drawing strength from me.I could see the pain she went through,how hard she tried,at exactly 7.37am a baby girl was born.No words can describe the joy we had seeing the new born.My wife was tired she had to be anesthetized.So i waled out of labour room,saw the nurses delicatly cleaning my baby.My mind was on God, how powerfull is God?,a new soul has come to the world.The nurse let me hold the baby,of course i was already an expert now.I held my child gently and whispered prayers in her tiny ears

O God, guide me, protect me, make of me a shining lamp and a brilliant star. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.
-Baha'i Prayer-

Then comes the best part, i started sending SMS all over telling them about this wonderfull gift of God,messages of congrats kept pouring in from everywhere.Then visitors kept flocking to the hospital,it was a joyous moment.To be a father for the second time,gives me jitters actually.10 yrs ago i was running around being irresponsible,doing what all other teenagers will do.Now i have two children who will look up to me.I have a wife who depends on me for moral,spritual and financial support.I wish i can be a father to my children like how my parenst brought us up.Its a difficult task to emulate,but i will try.A child is a greatest gift from God, i have many friends who are trying to have a child but not blessed with one,on the other hand there are people who dump and abondon their children for whatever reason, im sure there is a wisdom afterall we are all God's children.

A Note to Share....

Its lunch time now,I have been eating so much of food this past week.All my dinners have been in buffet format,I'm seriously sick of eating.Especially rice!
I have also decided to go for jogging at least three times a week,something that I always plan but fail to do.Not that I'm on a diet or something,but seriously I have to control my food.

Last Tuesday, I had a wonderfull time.I was off from work,woke up at 1pm, had massive lunch and then drove to the nearest Coffee Bean.I also have got this card from Coffee Bean where you buy like 13 coffee and get it stamped then you'll get one free, of course over a period of time.

Well, another reason is because, it has free Wi-fi.I just sat sipping a cold coffee,and listening to Alleycats,through www.youtube.com.I felt really emotional,but it was good.I kept humming those songs all day long.
Nothing much has happened this week, been going out with friends the whole week.Just sitting by the beach,or driving around.One great thing i enjoy in Bahrain is that there is so much time after work, unlike Malaysia, where half the time is wasted on the roads.

I could spend so much of time with my wife and daughter when they were here.A drive from work to home is only 15 minutes during peak hours,unlike in Malaysia a drive from Wangsa Maju to Kepong is almost an hour and half, by the time i reach home I'm half dead.I would just want to shower,eat and sleep.Then its the same routine the next day.

Family time, is very limited.Quality of life is also very poor.I spend more time in the car then at home.Imagine if it rains in Kuala Lumpur during peak hours,this is the worst nightmare.Even with all those Metros,LRT's and ERL, we still cant find a solution.

The floods in Kuala Lumpur recently is really embarrassing,smart tunnel turned out to be not smart at all!.Its not the quality of work that matters,or the billions spent.One thing and only thing can change, its the attitude.When Ministers take responsibilities and officials take initiative and treat work as worship, then and only then things wont fall apart.Well its easier said than done!

Passing of a Legend

Monday 4th of June,a legend by the name Loga passed away.A member of the most famous rock band in Malaysia 'Alleycats'. He was 54, survived by son and a daughter.

Alleycats has been my favourite band ever since i was a young boy.

I had the opportunity to watch them perform live in PJ Hilton,Uncle Chili's.I was a student then.With limited cash I would try to get there every week without fail.Mind you, this is a five star hotel.Nevertheless,I just wanted more of them.My most unforgettable experience with them was when my wife(Then Girlfriend) surprised me by organising my birthday party with them in Chili's.I was shocked,dumbfounded but those memories are unforgettable.

The uniqueness with this band is that it truly represented a Malaysian band,members were of different races and colour the only thing that was connecting them was music.

I'm certainly going to miss Loga,i have seen him playing the flute,providing the vocal support for his elder brother David and sing.

Some of their famous songs; Hingga Akhir Nanti,Sekuntum mawar merah,Kerana Kau,Nokthah terakhir and the evergreen Sampaikanlah Salam.My all time favourite number of theirs is 'Andainya aku peri dulu'....

May your soul rest in peace,you are simply irreplaceable.

My Heros

Will Rule the World!


Something that I wanted to blog about.I was too upset to write anything.My favourite team SriLanka lost the world cup to Australia.The finals itself was full of controversy,a finals that i hate to talk about.Anyway im sure Sri Lanka will win the next world cup.A brilliant team!
Good Luck And All the Best!
