Home Alone

Sunday February 8, 2009 0325 hrs

Some bloggers would be wondering what the heck this 61-year-old blogger is stll awake in the wee hours of this Sunday morning.

Well, I have been staying alone at home because my dear wife was away to KL to attend my youngest grandchild, Aiman Daniel Dato' Shafik, who turned 5 on February, 6. Happy Birthday, Darling.

By being alone in a four-bedroom semi-detached house, I occupied my time doing the routine chores like performing my Magrib and Isy' prayers at the nearby surau, reading Surah Yassin, browsing and surfing the internet and reading the newspapers. Apart from that I did light cooking to fill my empty bowel.

Usually I play golf on Saturday morning. Unfortunately the golf club was closed for Chinese NewYear Golf Tournment. So the whole of Saturday morning was spent on preparing light breakfast, cleaning the house, attending to old notes and watching tv. I did not have lunch yesterday but I have snacked on whatever goodies and cookies available in the refrigerator and the deep freezer.

After Zuhr prayer I drove downtown to buy the transmission and engine oil from my friend's shop and it cost me RM 152.00 for both items. Then I went to change my a new frame of my spectacles at RM 260. Soon after I contacted Ah Lek, my personal mechanic, to change the transmission and engine oil.

I was homed at around 1630 hrs and I performed ny Asar's prayer at around 1700 hrs. At around 1730, Ah Leck took my car to have the oil changed.He sent back my car at around 1830 hrs and charged RM 40.00 for his services. We had coffee and cookies togerther till he left at 1910 hrs. Hurriedly I had my clothes changed to baju Melayu annd sarung and I headed to the surau. Immediately after Maghrib prayer, I I headed home to read Surah Yassin.

In the midst of reading Surah Yassin, my niece, Semah and her family from Kelantan dropped by while on her way from Batu Pahat to KL. She prepared drink anf served whatever cookies and snacks available. As were were chatting, Aida, DAD 1C studen called to enquire about the topic of her group discussion. I promised to catch up with her later, but I am yet to call her. Semah her family left at around 2100 hrs.

Soon after her depature, I performed my Isy' prayer and hurriedly rode my motorcycle to attend to a khenduri at Hasbi's house. The ceremony was over at 2145 hrs. I tuned on the tv to see some entetainment and news programmees. Later I realised that the tv was watching me instead of the other way round. I was`awakened at around 0130 hours, Sunday morning. I cleaned myself, took my wuduk and performed the Tahajjud and Hajjat prayers. After completing my prayers, I surfed the net until I found the nerve to write this blog.

It's 0415 hors Sunday, February 8, 2009, I have to sign out now.
