.....Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri 2015/1436H.....

 

 

It's that time of year again, for Muslims all over the world, to celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Fitri/Eid Mobarak. This year the festival falls on Friday, 17.07.2015. It's the same for this household, albeit it'll be a low-key affair, as always. Yours truly especially, who is bugged with multiple health issues, is forever 'not in the mood' to celebrate. Nonetheless, a little preparation, 'attirewise' and 'foodwise' is being made.....just to go with the flow, so to speak. I really find it bothersome to do things according to the norm, but then.....I really don't have a choice, do I? 

 

 

 

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.....Maaf Zahir Batin, people!.....{sigh}

.....Silence Is Not Golden.....

There's an old saying which says that Silence Is Golden. But for me, silence is heart-wrenching and it's definitely not golden! I just wish to share my sadness with regards to the silent spells, which are on-going, between me and my surviving siblings, save for my third sibling, Roybelle, who's residing in Taree, NSW, Australia. We've been keeping in touch via email, SMSs and phone calls.

.....February 14th 2015.....

February 14th is a very special date in the Gregorian Calendar. It's Valentine's Day, and this day is celebrated annually by 'lovers', the whole world over. But for yours truly, it's just like any other day.....so mundane.....so boring! In actual fact, I woke up this morning with an extremely heavy heart. Stress has always been my middle name. So, what else is new, eh?

.....Keeping tabs.....

I've been having health issues since Friday, 26.06.2009. Since then, I've been keeping tabs on all the very important dates and 'events', so to speak. The following photos, depicting the relevant records are self-explanatory, I reckon. It will be almost six years since I have been blessed with these two special gifts from The Almighty.....the first in 2009, and the second in 2013.  I've done my level best to cope with the related treatments and follow-up reviews for both conditions, and never a day passes by, without me feeling downright grateful for having been given this new lease of life. Syukur Alhamdulillah. Ameen.....

.....Al-Fatihah - Allahyarham Abdul Rahim Bin Narat (18.07.1928 - 25.01.1974).....

Remembering my late Dad, Allahyarham Abdul Rahim Bin Narat, who succumbed to a fatal third heart attack on Friday, 25.01.1974 at 1902, Permai Hospital Qrs, Tampoi, Johor Bahru, Johor. It's been forty-one years since he left us all.

Al-Fatihah.....Ameen.....

.....A Teary Post.....

 

OKAY.....'NUFF SAID!

.....The BCSGJB.....

THE BCSGJB

I became a member of this support group in late July 2009. I have tried my level best to participate in almost all of its activities, particularly those which revolve around craft work. The multi racial members are friendly and helpful. The brave survivors, the strong supporters and the bosom friends all work happily together to make this support group an active one.
