Bapak

His name is Haji Hassan B Othman. He's 84 years old. He is not feeling well now and only eats a small portion of food nowadays. He's getting weak day by day. The old age is really catching up on him.

He used to be a big and strong man, see, he was a farmer. Raising 14 children was not a problem for him and my mum. But, they struggled jugak financially. To raise 14 children was not an easy task to do, but I never heard them complaint.

Being the youngest in the family, I didn't really see the hurdles or obstacles that they faced. Everything was prepared for me, come to the extend where other siblings got envied. I know this, but what the heck? That, my friend, is the advantage of being the youngest ;)

Anyway, I owe him a lot! I can't afford to pay back what he had sacrificed for me. He's a friendly man who likes to chat but now he has became very quiet, and once a while would cry and becoming too emo. Well, that's my pak. He has a soft heart.

I know that everything is in Allah's hand but I'm praying very very hard, if it is the time for him to go, Ya Allah, Kau permudahkanlah segala-galanya. Janganlah Kau membuat dia menderita Ya Allah.

I know sooner or later our parents will have to go and that time,like it or not we will have to face it. Frankly, I'm prepared to face it. Pity him, my pak. I love him as much as I love my mak tapi we seldom show our love and affection to him. Balik2 selalu dengan mak and not once I heard him complaint anak tak tunjuk sayang kt dia. I really hope that he knows that we love him sooo much....

MAY


Adia's poem for my birthday, care to read between the line?



Came home and was greeted by this sign! Sweet kan?


I'm now officially 35 y.o!





Who is more excited?



Simple ja kek ni. I was a bit blurred with the number of candles, ingatkan baru 8 tahun ;)



I always love of the month of MAY. I was born on 12th May, Mother's Day is on the second Sunday of this particular month and teacher's day is on 16th of May. Isn't it great? Having 3 occasions in one whole month. And if I were a nurse, the Nurse's Day is on the 12th of May ;) (talking about greedy huh?)


I'm a Taurus and I came across this article about Taurus:Note: I bolded what I think is true 'bout me:


Taurus isn't necessarily like a Bull in a ring with a toreador. You could be more like peace-loving Ferdinand, seeking the gentle meadows filled with flowers, sunshine and natural beauty. It's only Taurus stubbornness that can make you angry enough to charge at someone who is disturbing your peace. Taurus are noted for your determination. You get to where you are going, not because you are exceptionally fast or clever, but because Taurus will not be distracted from your goals. Your need for stability and simplicity can motivate Taurus to create a life for yourself that is quite functional, though it might seem boring to someone else. But Taurus aren't interested in taking unnecessary risks that can put your solid footing in jeopardy. Taurus motto might be "Take care of the senses and everything else will take care of itself." It may be that your attraction to material things is less about the objects themselves than it is about the pleasure they bring to your senses. Comfortable living and working space is important to Taurus, along with nice linens, clothing, food and music. And, as one of the most practical signs, Taurus outlook on life is usually quite sensible. As Taurus plod along in life, getting what you need in order to survive, don't forget to look at the beauty that is beyond the material world of material possessions.

We celebrated a 2 in 1 event recently, my bday and mother's day. Adia was so eager to have a "surprise" party for me but I knew about it beforehand and I just played along ;)

So last Sunday, I acted surprised when I came home from school, there was a small cake and kfc (no presents, I got mine in April). It was a small occasion as there's only 3 of us. But it's ok. I loved every moment of it. Enjoy the pics above ya.
