.....Just Remembering.....

 

31 December...

On this day in history, forty-one years ago... 

 

 

 

 

Feeling SO sad, as usual!

But do others care?

Of course NOT! 

.....Jottings On The Penultimate Day Of The Year 2017.....

 

 

Syukur Alhamdulillah
Saturday, 30.12.2017

Syukur for everything that He's bestowed upon me,
good or bad, gigantic or puny..
Syukur for each and every dawning of a brand new day..
Syukur for every tick and beat of my heart..
Syukur for the continued functioning of my bodily parts, particularly my thinking faculty..
Syukur Alhamdulillah..
Amin, Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin.....



.....SIGH!.....

 

  

I'm just ventilating for the umpteenth time. I'm just reiterating the fact that this is the real me.....an individual, who has to deal with a multitude of health issues. I've had to deal with this situation since way back when, AND within the past eight and a half years, this problem of mine has magnified broad and wide! I have persevered to be strong, but I must admit that it's a very tiring  thing to do, on a daily basis. I have to be a pill popper, whether I like it or not! Yeah, everyone sees what I appear to be, but very few experience what I really am! However, I've never, for once, lost track of the fact that this is all Allah SWT's plan for me, and I have to be grateful for all the blessings and experience. Syukur Alhamdulillah. Ameen. Anyone else, who's in the same predicament as I am?

.....A Near Fiasco.....

The date?

Wednesday, 1.11.2017.

The time?

4 pm.

The fiasco?

I almost fell victim to financial scammers, via my landline.

The *STARS* of the show?

1. Shahrul Bin Abdullah

    I/D TMX 042511

    TM Customer Service, Kuantan, Pahang. 

2. Korporal Zakaria Bin Ismail

    I/DRS 117674

    Balai Polis Kuantan, Pahang.

3. Inspektor Salina Binti Omar

    I/D 118731

    Balai Polis, Kuantan, Pahang.

    Contact Number: 017- 3210797

These three idiots claimed that I had committed 

two very serious crimes, in Kuantan, Pahang and of course, they  were lying! However, they were so convincing in   their act, and they succeeded in instilling fear in poor old me! The so-called Inspektor Salina instructed me not  to disclose our phone conversation to anyone and she also instructed me to call her at 8.30 pm  that night, so that she could tell me how I can resolve my so-called "problem" with the use of my ATM card! To this very day, I can still recall all these idiots' voices in my mind.

Despite being totally afraid, I did disclose the happenings to my Princess, and at 7.30 pm that night, she helped to discuss the matter with the duty officer at the Maybank Customer Careline in Kuala Lumpur. We were directly told that we almost became victims of a syndicate who go about preying on unsuspecting senior citizens, to siphon off their money through online bank transfers! We were told to be wary of such calls and never ever to respond to any of their instructions. OMG! I immediately blocked that bloody Salina's number, and my landline has been 'off ' to this date.

I honestly hope that these unscrupulous idiots will be wiped off the face of this earth, in whatever way, by Allah SWT. They certainly don't have the right to go on living, through their lies, and deceit  and through making lives miserable for their innocent victims.

 Yours truly

 

 

The month of October, every year, holds a very significant place in the hearts of a group of special people, worldwide. Yes, Pink October is especially for the breast cancer survivors, their supporters and friends. This whole month is really valuable and it will be filled with a lot of activities, be it, pertaining to health,  sports, recreational or social activities, particularly organized for, by and with these special people in mind. It is everyone's fervent hope, that gratitude and thankfulness will be aplenty for the people concerned because, after all they have, each and everyone of them, been given another lease of life, by The Almighty, so to speak! Syukur Alhamdulillah. Ameen.

.....Goodbye September, Hello October!.....

 

 

The month of September 2017 just flew by in a whizz. It was filled with both joy and sadness for me, personally, as well as for the nation and world, at large.

 

 

 

 

Now, comes  the month of October 2017 , the tenth month in the Gregorian calendar. It's a very special month, because it brings with it the special Pink Power, particularly for those who belong to the Pink Fraternity, namely, all the survivors of the BIG 'BC', their supporters and friends. Let us hope that the month of October 2017 will be a good, joyful and fruitful month for everybody, InsyaAllah. God willing.

 

.....My Life Sucks!.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My life sucks! That's the reality of it all! Loneliness is my middle name. Behind all the ravishing and winsome smiles, lie a lady who is lonesome all the time. I hardly have true friends, and the saddest thing is that, I seem to be sibling-less and also have no relatives, whatsoever! Actually, I have only one person to blame for this  fiasco, but no name needs to be mentioned, though!

.....Significant August Dates.....

 

 The month of August contains several significant dates. Firstly, on the 4th of August, in 1949, I was born the first child to Abdul Rahim Bin Narat and Aisah Binti Abdullah.

 

 

Secondly, a close friend of mine, used to observe his birthday on the 27th of August. He expired on the 25th of April, 2007.

 

 

Thirdly, my fifth sibling, Rozah was born on the 28th of August, 1957.

 

Lastly, our beloved Malaysia observes its Merdeka Day on the 31st of August, each year since 1957.

....My Special Day.....

 

 

 



 

 

 

I'm commemorating the 68th anniversary of my birth today. Sixty eight years ago, on this date, I was born the eldest child to a couple of teenaged parents, at Jalan Hospital, Batu Pahat, Johor. I've really gone through a lot during all these years, lots of trials and tribulations, lots of happiness and sadness and a fair share of heartbreaks, as well! Health wise, I haven't been spared, either. As early as 1965, I'd already been plagued by a kidney disease. Much later, in 2009, I joined the Pink Fraternity, as to be expected. I was carrying on my Mom's legacy. As if, that wasn't enough, I've also inherited my Dad's medical problems, that is, High BP and DM. Syukur Alhamdulillah, thus far, I've been managing myself well, with the help of appropriate treatments and relevant medications. My BFFs these days, are definitely, the hospitals and health clinics.

During Hari Raya Aidil Fitri and Hari Raya Aidil Adha, every year,  we ( Princess, Prince and yours truly) will be paying our respects to our dearly departed loved ones, at their final resting places at the Bukit Mahmoodiah Muslim Cemetery, in Johor Bahru, Johor. This year, we made the  visit  on Monday, 26.6.2017 (2 Syawal 1438H). Al Fatihah. Ameen.

.....After A Hiatus Of Two Months.....

 

 

In a blink of an eye, two months have gone by since my last blog entry. We went through Ramadan and Syawal for the year 1438H, in June and July 2017. It was a so-so affair for me. Helped to prepare the annual Hari Raya goodies. My Princess was the Master Chef and I was the kitchen helper. As usual, we prepared ketupat mini, rendang, lodeh and sambal kacang. Princess bought a few types of cookies and crispies, as additions.

 

As usual, we had guests galore on 1st Syawal, comprising relatives from my `in-law' side of the family. And as usual too, NONE of my own siblings turned up! This is really heart-breaking! I still don't know why they've totally disowned me! Could it be because that I don't support them

financially, anymore? Only Allah SWT knows the reason, I reckon.

 

 

 

 

 



On Friday, 7.7.17, my Princess and I attended the Hari Raya Celebration at the BCSGJB Center in Jalan Ru, Melodies Garden, Johor Bahru. It was quite a good session, and Princess (being the talented dancer that she is) led the other members in the Lenggang Kangkong  and Bengawan Solo joget dances. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, most definitely!
