Yesterday morning when I went to Omar's school to pick him up I decided to bring along my camera. Yes I bought a camera. These are the pictures I caught , it may not be a masterpiece but just glance through and if possible , please tell which is your favourite

Sorry I don't know what type of flower this is.

Finally he quits

Finally my other half quit smoking. He's been smoking since he is 13 and now after 33 years of puffing the cigarette he quits. Thank god.

He suffers from bronchieatasis since he is small so smoking is actually a big no for him. He is always coughing with phlegm and to clear the phlegm I have to do postural drainage everyday but most of the time he refused.

Once, after we were married for two years he cough and vomit out blood. I was very panic and drove him to the nearest hospital and cried while I was driving but do you want to know what my half was doing. He smoked, at that time I really want to smack his head to the steering wheel. How can he smoke after coughing out blood. So when we finally reached the hospital and the doctor came and see us, to my surprise the was no panic sign from the doctor. What happened, is coughing out blood normal. To me nothing is normal about that, blood should be inside our body inside our vein it is not suppose to go out. But actually it is a normal thing with people with bronchiectasis, it will happen when the sufferer got a bacterial infection and there seems to be a tear of small blood vessels. The doctor prescribe him antibiotic and other medication, a week later he is fine.

His left lung is shrinking and now he actually have his right lung to depend on. So just imagine how relieved I am when he quit smoking. Now it's been nearly a month he did not touch any cigarette or cigar.

From my reading, human lung will reduced its efficiency as we grew older, now my half is 46 and there will be time where he will have problem in doing simple chores like walking will make him very tired struggling to breath. I hope we will be strong to face it. Insyaallah

Amir's turn

Last sunday Amir and Aisyah enter another sparring competition. Amir is entering the competition for the first time whereas for Aisyah it is her third times. This time it is Amir's turn to shine, for the first time he won something. He manage to get bronze and he is very happy and he is skipping all the way home, literally skipping.

Winning this competition sure boost his confidence, it make him feel good and proud with himself.

Childhood friends

Last Friday, I had a small reunion with my childhood friends. Guess I can say that because I've known them when I was 13 , my friends Oja and Fizah.

It's nice to meet with old friends and at the same time it felt weird because I was expecting to see an 18 years old boy and suddenly a 36 years old matured man standing in front of me.


For all the single ladies out there, here is an eligible bachelor, financially stable, a good muslim with a quality of a good husband and father.


When everybody is aging, for Fizah the process seems to reversed, she is slimmer, more radiant and she even look younger too.

Oja with Fizah and my children. Hope the children will continue the good friendship

So how about you, missing any oldfriends lately.?
