.....Happy New Year 2017.....

 

Good Bye December 2016

 

 

Happy New Year 2017

 

  

I resolve to.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I honestly and truly pray that the brand new year will be a good one for me......a year which is relatively pain-free, and filled with utmost joy, happines and laughter. InsyaAllah. Ameen.

 

 



.....Closing 2016 with sighs!.....

 

 SIGH!

 

I'm still ventilating about my poor state of health. Nothing new, really! It's really disheartening to be afflicted with so many diseases at the same time. Just how much can this old body constitution endure? Pray tell me! During the course of 2016, I have been feeling quite rotten. My chronic pain has never left me. Honestly speaking, my life has been a nightmare, from as far back as the 1960s. Yeah, that's right!

 

For the record, I'll jot down the chronology of events, where my poor health is concerned. Here goes.....

 

1965 - I was struck with Nephritis at the age of 15. Was warded at HSAJB from 25.4.1965 till 25.5.1965.

 

Late 2004 - I joined the 'Hypertension' fraternity ( a legacy from my late Dad).

 

June 2009 - Got afflicted with the Big C (legacy from my late Mom). Underwent the  Big M, Ch and R at HSIJB.

 

July 2013 - Underwent WLE at HSIJB.

 

Nov 2013 - Was afflicted with E Coli Sepsis. Was warded at HSAJB for a week (13.11.13 - 21.11.13). Was also diagnosed with DM, and all its accompanying discomforts, followed suit (chronic pain, chronic fatigue, mood swings, utter despair, etc etc !!!!!).

 

July 2016 - Fractured my right ankle after a fall. Got treated at HSAJB. Was in a cast for 59 days. Had to use a wheelchair. After the cast was removed, underwent three physiotherapy sessions.

 

Ya Allah, Ya Tuhan ku, I honestly and truly hope that the new year, 2017 will not be seeing the repeat of all the utter despair that I have had to endure. And that endless smiles and laughter will be replacing all my endless sighs!

 

INSYAALLAH. GOD WILLING!

.....Twelve years on and counting.....

Today, Sunday 16.10.16, marks the twelfth death anniversary of my one and only brother, Allahyarham Abdul Razak Bin Abdul Rahim. In the year 2002 he started suffering from Diabetes, which was very poorly controlled. He ended up with damaged kidneys and was treated at the Puteri Specialist Hospital in Johor Bahru. He underwent haemodialysis for two years. On the morning of 16.10.04, late Razak ultimately succumbed to End Stage Renal Failure. He was only 48 years old. He was safely buried at the Bukit Mahmoodiah Muslim Cemetery on the same day.

My late brother had chosen teaching as his profession. He had specialised in Biology and had loved his career very much. He had taught in English College (MSAB), Johor Bahru, which was his Alma Mater. His last post was at Sekolah Dato Jaafar, Johor Bahru.

Needless to say, late Razak was very much loved by his students and colleagues, alike. They came in droves to pay their last respects at his funeral. He is definitely missed by one and all. May his soul always be blessed by Allah SWT.

AL FATIHAH.....AMEEN.....
