It has been an eventful year....
Good, bad and ugly..... happy, sad and angry....
Whatever it was, it was part of life....
Neither you nor I could change it....
It has been written in our book of life.....
Let's learn from it...

Life goes on 2
Hubby knew how much I have been looking forward to attending the yearly convocation event of my former work place. Even though my hubby and I have to be in KLIA the day before this year convo, I pleaded with him to rush home the same day if I am invited. I tried out a few outfits and asked his opinion about the suitability. Is it too tight? Is it too bright? I recalled catching up on old times with the servicing friends as well as those pensioned ones. The laughters that we shared filled up the entire rest room.....As the date (as informed by an ex colleague) drew near and no sign of the invitation card, I became anxious. Could the card have gone astray. If so, the person in charge would group me among those who do not reply to the invitation as required in the card. I'm not that type and don't intend to be misunderstood as one. Numerous trips to the post office to check the mail box made me feel rather silly. So what should I do ? I even seek guidance in my solats.
Day before we left for KL, I called K asking him to check the list of invitation for me. I gave the reason as mentioned. Softly, I reminded him to check out quietly. Takut orang kata,"Hidung tak mancung, pipi ter....." Baik punya budak, he went and asked the lady in charge directly and called me the next day. "Tahun ni dia orang tak jemput akak dan pensyarah2 yg bersara........" Well, disappointing as it can be, at least there was a closure for me. I told hubby, " Bang,dia orang dah cerai saya talak tiga!" That is the ending to another chapter in my life. Life goes on...

Life Goes On 1
I have not been blogging for quite a while. Ever since I become member of the facebook community, whatever little time I have, I went facebooking!! So when I finally checked out some blogs recently, I was in for a shock and sadness. One of fellow bloggers has passed on. He lost his battle to cancer.Alfatihah. May Allah put him among the chosen ones. Amin. Salam Ta'ziah to his family.
I have been following Dr.Mas Afzal writings for quite some time. Though young, he was of great wisdom and was ever willing to share his knowledge.He had great passion for life and was full of compassion and empathy towards fellow cancer sufferers. He was unable to practise medicine due to his illness. But I am sure he would have been a great doctor. It showed in the passion that generated through his postings. Alas...his passing is a great loss not only to his family but to the medical world. Rest in peace "Baby Afzal".
Hubby, our daughter and I spent The Chinese New Year with my parents, my siblings and their families in Wakaf Bahru. My son and his family didn't join us. They recently moved house so they are still amidst settling down ( All three of them were down with flu through the CNY holidays!!).
It was a smaller gathering this year. My sisters in US and New zealand didn't come back and my brother from Seremban did'nt join us.Anyway, my parents put in the same affort in preparation. The reunion dinner on the eve was still the same. We gave out the same amount of ang pows and we visited our elders on the 1st day as usual. And the same feeling of sadness I felt when I hugged pa and ma goodbye. InsyaAllah we will usher in the next CNY together again. Ameen.
Johor was hard hit by flood. Thousands of people were displaced for half a month. Segamat became an island and we had to reroute through KL to go back for CNY. The rain made my preparation for the trip so tough. In the rain I had to get ready enough food and water supply for 37 chicks and 11 chicken. Hubby helped out with the 6 geese. The 3 cats, Rex, Addy and Boboy had to be attended to.Looking back, what is there for me to complain ? Compare us to the flood victims!!!! Forgive me ya Allah, nikmat yg mana yg telah aku dustakan ?Life goes on.....
