While waiting for my flight

Flight delayed again! By one hour. What to do? Hang around the airport, that's all, reflecting on the life I've had and the future. In January, my second daughter will be born In sha Allah. That will be six in total, four boys and two girls. Four from the first group have all graduated with one married and living in Australia. The two in the second group have a long way to go. Akid is only one year six months while his sister is still in the stomach, due in January. There might be more, In sha Allah. Its tiring bringing up children but its fun and can be rewarding. 

The only drawback is most of the time, when they grow up, they tend to forget about you. That's how it is and that's the way it will be. Maybe I was guilty of the same thing. For sure now when I think back, there's a lot more I could have done for my parents. Now its too late. I can't do anything anymore. Usually its like that. Only when its too late, we realise our folly.

That's why Allah never once ask the parents to love their children. Its a natural thing. But, many a time, Allah ask the children to love their parents, to say nice words to them, to take care of them when they grow old. There's so many verses in the Quran telling the children to love their parents. How I wish I have done what Allah wants us to do for our parents!

No matter what, I love all my children just the same, just like my parents love me despite all my shortcomings. I wish them all the best in their endeavours. My one wish is, at all time, never forget who we are. Servants of Allah the Almighty.

The last one?

The last one has flown over the cuckoos nest! That's my youngest child who had just graduated from Uniten as an engineer. My task is done, now its up to them to live the best they can in this world, not forgetting the hereafter off course. Oh....I forgot! I have one more..two more in fact. Akid and his younger sister who is due in January 2014. That's a new task altogether!

A great outing

The Sunday was spent sleeping most of the time. Perhaps feeling tired from last night's outing. It was a great atmosphere but very tiring especially with Akid around. He was in his element, moving about as he pleased. I had to cope up with him. Then after exhausting all his energy, I had to carry him to the car, walking quite a distance from the concert venue. Tiring but enjoyable. A great outing once in a while.

Enjoying the concert

There was M. Nasir, there was In Team, there was Ramli Sarip and there was Opick, the one whom I came to see. Maher Zain was there too with many other internatonal singers.

At Dataran Putrajaya

The place is packed with families enjoying the cool night air. Was surprised at the crowd. Convenient too as the mosque is just nearby. Finding a parking space is a problem. I was at Putrajaya to watch the concert by Opick among others.

Hello

Akid speaking here. How are you? Me? I'm fine thank you. I love my mothers milk. its good for me but sometime my mother complains that I'm too active. She can't keep up with me. My father? Oh....he is always not in the house. Working hard to buy my mother and me food. Also for my little sister. She will be coming out soon! In January. Can't wait to see her. Then I can play with her. Its much better. My father is always reading while my mother is always doing the house chores.

My motorbike

These days, traffic jam is Greek to me. No more hassle, no more frustration, no more time wasting. On top of that, petrol is peanuts compared to when I was driving my mercedes.
