It's been some days and hours that I have lost my touch in writing for D Banos due to family, work and society commitments and obligations.
As an academic staff, we were allowed to go on leave from February 3rd to 9th, in junction with the Chinese New Year Holidays. My wife and I were ready to spend 4 days and 3 nights in Medan from Feb. 7th to Feb. 11th. Our tickets were orcestraed through UTAS Travel Kuala Lumpur.
On Tuesday, Feb. 5th, we were shopping at Giant Muar hen my wife received a call from Shaik, our second son, relaying his health condition that he felt to experience a mild stroke while driving home from his golf session. I saw my wife was in ears and asked or my response. Oh Allah! What sould we do? My instinct directed me to order him to park immediately while waiating for hisbrother's presence.
We called and told Adik to send his sibling to Damansara Medical Centre. Adik, with Shafik's PA, did as was told. Hurriedly we headed home and started calling everyone in Kuala Lumpur and nationwide. We were unable to head to KL because TND, who were to fix our 3 phase connection to our house, would only be coming at around 4 pm.
UTAS Travel was contactd to cancel our plan and we could only head o KL at around 5.30 pm. Meanwhile my wife had cried her soul. Finally, we mananged to see our beloved Shafik, at around 8.00 pm at MC. Alhamdullilah, Shafik was physically stable. At around 100pm Shafik was awake and from his statement we concluded that he had experience a terrible stress due to family and business commitments. We lft DMC at around 1230 pm and spent the night at Saujana Impian.
At 1030 am, Wednesday morning we headed back to Damansara to be with our son. The good news came with the doctor's positive report that Shafik cleared of Heat Case, Cholestrol and mild stroke. Everyone, Pak Long, Uncle, Pak Li, Pak Aziz, Pak Moed, with the excepton of Pak Ngah, were present to hear the good news. We stayed around till 830 pm before heading for Kajang.
Thursday, Feb. 7th, Kong Hee Fatt Choy, my wife and kiddos headed toDamansara, while I headed for Muar at around 1030 am. he traffic was bad from Kajang to Seremban. I managed to be safe and sound at the comfort of home at around 230 pm.
Friday and Satuday were spent on marking students' assignments. At around 430 pm, Saturday, my wife called and wanted me to be Shafik's house immedately. After my Maghrib prayer,at around 830 pm, Jais, my close friend, and I, headed for Damansara and we reached Damasaradamai around 1145 pm.
Many people were there to settle Shafik' marita status. Besides my wife and I, Moed, Mak Nah, Pak Aziz, Hj Mahzan, Noi, Anja, Linda, Julianaa, Atuk Linda, Jais, Adik, and Emi wer e there. After much deliberataion we ended our discussion with Shafik and Linda were irreconcilable at around 100 am Sunday morning. The rest was history.
In the time of bad taste I mananged to watch Nigeria to beat Ivory Coast. Jais and I left Damanasara for Muar at around 500am Sunday morning, Feb, 10th. After breakfast at Pak Hussin I reched home.
Well, Leoprdas never change their spots.

Chinese New Year,Xong Hee Fatt Choy, is here again. This celebration is associated with traditional, rather than religious, occasion. 2008 is called as the Year of the Rat. Rat, or sometimes called rodent, envisages negative attributes. Rats brought diseases and cause losses to human economy. Chinese believe that those born in the year of the rat are involve in unstable economy.
Chinese New Year 2008 was on Wednesday, February 7th. On Monday, February 4th, my wife and I planned to make a trip to Medan, Indonesia through UTAS ravel Agency. While we were shopping at Giant Muar, at noon on Tuesday, Shafik, called my wife that he had mild stroke while on his way home afer a game of golf. My wife was dillusioned and made frantic calls to our third child, Mohammad Asshad to attend o his brother's medical problem. Immediately we cancelled our flight and left for Kuala Lumpur after Asar prayer.
We safely reached Damansara Medical Centre at about 2000 hrs. Alhamdulillah!Our beloved son was physically stable. We stayed around until 2230 before we headed for Kajang. It was already 0030 hrs, Wednesday, February 5th. I performed my Maghrib and Isya' prayer before ending my day at around 0130 Wednesday Morning.
At about 1030 Wednesday Morning, we headed to Damansara to be at my son's bedsite. We were informed by the medical staff that Shafik was cleared of heart case and he needed fuher investigation till Saturday. The joy of receiving the news made me to call for a treat. All my in-laws were treated for free food at the cafetaria. We left Damansara for ajang at around 2230 hrs. I managed to perform my obligatory prayers before I fell asleep at around 2300 hrs.
On Thursday, Chinese New Year Day, I performed my Subuh Prayer at 0630 hrs and read my Yassin. We had our breakfast at around 0830 hs with Nasi Lema, Mee and Tea. My wife, daughter Juliana and her husband, Udin, and our kiddos left for Damansara at around 1100 and I headed for Muar alone at the same time.
The journey from Kajang to Seremban was really testing my patience. I could hardly accelerate up to 40 km per hour. The traffic flow was clogged. After reaching What a journey!
Well that's all for now. Kamusta

Semester Break is ere Again
Sunday, February 3rd, 2007
Tomorrow, Monday 4th to Sunday 10th February, 2008, MARA University of Technology students would be enjoying heir short break. It's the time for the students to back with their loved ones after a separation of about 4 weeks. Students must be wise to manage the leisure times by playing around with their younger siblings, or by visiing old friends and relatives and at the same time not to forget their books and assignments.
As a lecturer like me, it's time for me to obtain fresh materials to be imparted to my students after the break. It's also the best time for me to exchange ideas, to have breakfast and lunch and dinner outings ad lastly to visit our beloved grandchildren in Kuala Lumpur. Perhaps we may make a 4-day trip either to Medan or Jakarta.
The break is also the best time for both of us to spend quality time together. This is m 39th year of my service with the government. On any working day we would have about 1 to 2 hours of quality time. Usually I would leave home for more than 8 hours and I would be hme at arund 1700 hrs. On reaching home, I would perform my Asr prayer, had my tea and read my newspaper and took my bath. At 75 hs I would be heading to the surau from my Maghrib prayer and I would be home at around 1945. My wifewould be praying in her room for her Maghrib and Isyak rayers. Upon reaching home I would read Yassin then I headed to the surau for Isya' prayer till 2105 hrs.
At aound 1920 we dined together and went separate ways. I would be engrossed with my academic chores, while my wife would be engrossed wih her Quran reading or she wuld be watching her favourite tv programmes. Sometimes I would only in bed at around 1000 hrs. At 0530 I would clean myself and prepared for the Subuh prayer either at home or at the surau. After Subuh I was ready to leave for lectures either at 0645 hrs or )745 hrs at the latest.
The daily routine would go on until Friday where I would be home at around 1430 hrs, immediately after Friday pray. My wife and I would lunch together and we would be able to chat anything at the lunch table. Usually I would take a short siesta for 1 hour and then I would perform my Asr prayer and soon afte that the rountine spin again.
On Saturdays and Sunday mornings, ether I played golf till 1130 hrs or I would be having breakfast with my wife in town. Sometimes Saturdays and Sundays were spent attending wedding receptions r meeting fiends.
Since the break will break the daly routine, we would be planning to visit our beloved kiddos or make a trip overseas.
Well that's life to be managed wisely and meaninfully.
Happy Holidays to Shaipul and Kamarul (BTSL, Fa'iq (BBIB), Hamsyah, Saveas, Hafis, Iqbal, Hakim and many others whose names are yet to be recorded in my RAM.
