Aching body

Went to Pantai Hospital yesterday for my regular medicine supply. After that went to Shah Alam for a walked around. Was there from noon till almost four in the evening. Akid refused to sit in his troller so he had to be carried most of the time, all seven kilos of him. As a result, today my back aches while my hands are feeling the strain. He is a big baby now, no more the three kilos when he was born. he's growing up real fast!

Exploring caves

To reach the top of Batu Caves, one has to walk up 272 steps. That's quite a walk for some. Three quarters of the way up, you will reached a place called the dark cave which is on the left side of the steps. As the name implies, the cave is really dark, even from the entrance you will have noticed it. This cave can be explored but it must be done with a guide. It can be for an hour or even up to three hours. I have been wanting to explore such caves for years but never did. Gua Tempurung in Perak is another one. Maybe some day when I can find the time....

Be grateful always

Yesterday I visited a friend at IJN. He has been there for about a week while the doctors continue to monitor his heart. He don't looked in the best of condition but spirit remains high. We had a good chit chat about the old days and so on. It felt good visiting such places. At the very least its a good reminder of what can become of you. Don't ever take things for granted. Be grateful always that you are still well and healthy Insha Allah.

Either which way you can

Every now and then, there comes a time when life comes to a crossroad. You are not sure which route to take, cause either way you go will mean something very dear to you has got to give. If you can, you don't want to be at this crossroad. Its terrible having to choose knowing that whatever you choose is going to hurt you. Why can't the road ahead be a straight path? Then, life will be a lot easier. 

Some sporting news

Europe has just made the greatest comeback ever in the history of the Ryder cup. Yesterday I thought they were well and truly and buried, down 10-6 to USA. They need to win eight of the twelve singles to win whereas USA needs only four. It has never been done before but they did it just now winning eight and drawing one. Amazing!
On Sunday, the All Blacks were at their rampaging best, thrashing the Argentine Pumas 53-15. To their credit, the Pumas were prepared to run the ball, playing open flowing Rugby. That cause their downfall cause nobody runs the ball better than the All Blacks.
