ORDINARY SUPERHERO

I have to update. I have to update. I have to update this blog. ********** Anak2 ku, Sudah agak lama Ayah tak kemaskinikan blog ini. When I first started this blog, I was thinking of having a blog dedicated to all of you and Ibu. (Not the caca-marba type of Ayah's previous blog ). Ayah hope this blog will become the source of recollection of our lives, all the little things that we did together, the good and not so good times that we shared and had gone through. Hopefully when you are old enough to read and find this blog, you will know Ayah and Ibu better and understand why we did what we did during your growing up years. ************ Anak2 ku, There were so many things to write about. There were so many things that were flowing at the back of Ayah's mind that Ayah felt the need to write and document them in this blog. Alas, I have always been bogged down with works that after some time what I wanted to write would have been an after-event and lost the excitement. Anak2 ku, If...

Kids were all at their cousins' place. On our way back, Wife mentioned that she wanted to 'drop by' at SOGO. So you know what's coming..... PINQUE Shirt RM89.91 Elle Tee RM29.00 BUM Equipment Jeans RM87.20 EsteeL Perfume 50 ml RM210.00 Ayah jadi tukang bayar dan tukang dukung AKID masa Ibu keluar masuk fitting room. Itu tak termasuk specs Gucci yang beli kat Ampang Point minggu lepas. Tak pa lah. Mungkin Ibu dah lama 'berdendam' nak shopping. Nota kaki: tajuk di atas macam nak kenen cite AuntyN pulak . :)

Tarikh Nikah: 2.3.97 Now, before you people jump the gun and call me hopeless husband and blame the entire male population for this oversight and for not being a lovey dovey sensitive guy, let me first put up may case. I confess, as far as I could recall, I never remember this date last year, or year before that or many many years before that. BUT - I never forget my Mem's birthday or the birthdays of all my kids. I have enough flags to alert me for these dates. I have my PDA and my secretary to faithfully remind me. So to mis...

I normally delete all my messages in my phone inbox after one or two weeks or if the number of messages reached 20 or more. But there are several inspiring messages that I still keep because I treasure them very much. Message 1 Once over, buat la solat syukur and among other things, feed anak yatim ka, apa2 la.

A father was busy at office preparing for his outstation trip one day before the Valentine Day. He received a call from his wife informing him that their daughter's application to her favorite college has been accepted. Oh great. That's a cause to celebrate. He thought. On his way to the airport, the father called a florist and asked for a bouquet of fresh roses to be sent to his daughter on the Valentine's Day. The next day, he received a call from his daughter. "When I saw the delivery man at the door, I thought the flowers were for Mum because it's the Valentine's Day. But then I saw name on it. Oh Goodness, I thought they were from my boyfriend. When I found out that it was from you, I just couldn't believe it!." "I love you Dad, this is the best Valentine's gift I ever had." DISCLAIMER: This is also not a Valentine post, err like this one .

I’ve learned that having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world. I’ve learned that simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child, did wonders for me as an adult. I’ve learned that there’s nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breaths in your cheeks. [Andy Rooney, quoted in Stories for My Mother The Star, 13 Februay, 2006.]
