''THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN LIFE, 

ARE NOT JUST THINGS.

THEY'RE PEOPLE AND PLACES,

MEMORIES AND PICTURES.

THEY'RE FEELINGS AND MOMENTS,

AND SMILES AND LAUGHTER.

MY LIFE HAS BECOME FULL OF JOY,

BECAUSE OF THEM.'' 

 

.....VERY TRUE WORDS, INDEED!.....

 

.....LETTING GO OF AN ETERNAL LOSS.....

 

LETTING GO OF AN ETERNAL LOSS IS REALLY HARD. THE PAIN EXPERIENCED, DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO GO AWAY. WHEN WE ARE EMOTIONALLY AT OUR LOWEST, IT FOLLOWS THAT WE'LL BE AT OUR PHYSICAL LOWEST AS WELL. THE ACHES AND PAIN EXPERIENCED, SEEM TO BE NEVER-ENDING, FROM THE MOMENT YOU RISE FROM YOUR SLUMBER TILL THE MOMENT YOU CALL IT A NIGHT AGAIN.  IT'S THE PITS, REALLY! OH HOW I WISH THAT I COULD GO THROUGH PAIN-FREE DAYS. THAT WILL BE REALLY HEAVENLY!

.....ALLAH KNOWS BEST.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALLAH KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR US

SO WHY SHOULD WE COMPLAIN?

WE ALWAYS WANT THE SUNSHINE

BUT HE KNOWS THERE MUST BE RAIN.

WE ALWAYS WANT THE LAUGHTER

AND THE MERRIMENT OF CHEER,

BUT OUR HEARTS WILL LOSE THEIR TENDERNESS

IF WE NEVER SHED A TEAR.

ALLAH TESTS US OFTEN

WITH SUFFERING AND WITH SORROW,

HE TESTS US NOT TO PUNISH US

BUT TO HELP US MEET TOMORROW.

FOR GROWING TREES ARE STRENGTHENED

IF THEY WITHSTAND THE STORM.

AND THE SHARP CUT OF THE CHISEL

GAVE THE MARBLE GRACE AND FORM.

ALLAH TESTS US OFTEN,

AND FOR EVERY PAIN HE GIVES TO US

PROVIDED WE'RE PATIENT,

IS FOLLOWED BY RICH GAIN.

SO WHENEVER WE ARE DOWN

AND WHENEVER WE FEEL THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG,

IT IS JUST ALLAH'S WAY

TO MAKE OUR SPIRIT STRONG.

 

 

.....ABOUT ILLNESS.....

ILLNESS IS TIRING, WORRISOME, AND PAINFUL. BUT ILLNESS DOESN'T TAKE AWAY YOUR STRENGTH. ENJOY YOUR LIFE NOW, AND LET'S DEAL WITH TOMORROW, TOMORROW!

....."SOUND ADVICE FOR ONE AND ALL".....

YOU OWE YOURSELF ONE HOUR A DAY OF SELF-MAINTENANCE. IT CAN INCLUDE READING, WRITING, YOGA, EXERCISE, DANCING, OR WHATEVER, BUT YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF, ONE HOUR, 1/24 OF YOUR DAY. THAT'S LESS THAN 5%. IT MATTERS..... IT REALLY DOES! MAKE IT COUNT!

.....Just Saying.....

**SOMETIMES TEARS MEAN UNSPOKEN HAPPINESS AND SMILES MEAN SILENT PAIN...**

.....October Dates And Events To Remember.....

Four significant events are etched in the month of October. Firstly, on the 10th of October 2020, Princess turned 38. Happy Birthday, Dilah! Secondly, my late sibling, Odi would've turned 55 on the 12th of October. Al Fatihah (with recitation) for Allahyarhamah Odi. Thirdly, my late one only brother, Razak's 16th year of demise was observed on the 16th of October. Al Fatihah (with recitation) for Allahyarham Razak. Finally, on the 20th of October, my niece Shaazea turns 33. Happy Birthday, Yaya!

.....A Very Special Date, Indeed!.....

Today,Saturday, 10.10.2020 is my Princess's 38th birthday. We treated her to a special lunch at our favourite eatery, namely, Johnny's at Aeon Tebrau, Johor Bahru. We had our fill of delicious steamboat dishes, desserts and drinks. We then had the birthday girl cut her bithday cake at our abode, at No. 33, JB14, TUTA, Skudai, JB. The chocolate cake was very delicious, indeed.

.....Throwback To Events Happening In September 2020.....

The month of September 2020 witnessed several significant events. Firstly,on Wednesday, 16.9.20, Malaysia celebrated the 57th anniversary of its formation. Monday, 21.9.20, was the 10th year anniversary of Allahyarhamah Roseana Binti Abdul Rahim's demise. Finally, on Thursday, 24.9.20, Johoreans observed Hari Hol Almarhum.

.....Regrets.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the days go by, I can't help but feel extra sayu and sad when I think of JBM. I really wasn't a good person for him to live his life with. I'm sure he regretted having landed up with me. Just wasting his life with such a useless specimen. Nevertheless, it is my fervent hope that he's in a better place now, surrounded by angels, and that eternal peace and happiness will be with him always. (I'm really tearing up, writing this).

 

Ya Allah Ya Tuhan ku, ampunilah segala dosa-dosaku terhadap Allahyarham JBM, dan

Ya Allah Ya Tuhan ku, cucurilah rahmat Mu keatas roh Allahyarham. Amin, Amin Yarabbal Alamin.
