It happened again

I was very determined this will be a different year.It won`t be like last year or the year before that and the year before that also. It will be really different because I shall remember. Since January 1st 2006, I woke up every morning reminding myself not to forget. I have a method which I thought very good. I create a programme inside my mind that when I see such things, I will remember such things. So even if I forget in the morning, there will be clues everywhere to help me remember. Very smart.
But yesterday I was reminded of yet another thing. We can just plan but God decides.
It`s the first day puasa and I was going out of the house to PWTC to check on the MATTA fair there. In my mind I was already calculating the kueh seri muka RM1, Kueh lapis RM1, ikan keli bakar etc to bring back for berbuka. "Balik nanti beli kek yek" my wife gave her order. " Buat apa? " I answered. I like seri muka, why does she want kek? Dia tak posa. I thought. " Kek birthday " added my wife.
I only remembered her birthday about 3 seconds after asking "Birthday saper?"
Hahahaha nasib baik every year macam ni. Jadi dia dah faham sangat dah. I don`t even remember my own birthday. So happy birthday Salina.

Born Free - Merdeka!

Waiting can be very tiring. I never liked waiting and I hate making people wait for me but I don`t really get mad if people are late and make me wait. If I don`t want to wait anymore, I just leave. That way I don`t have to wait till I get stressed up. I lived a healthy, cool and free life. That`s what I did before I get married and that`s probably why I get married rather late.
When I got married, I willingly let go part of the freedom. I let myself be colonised by the outside power. Being colonised gives you some privileges though. You get an additional id card, get educated, learn new ways, decode sms language and get to know new people.
When my son was born, I again let go more freedom. Then my second and then the 3rd and on the 28th August the 4th was born. She was supposed to be born on the 20th but made us all wait for a whole week doing nothing. Now that`s a good start. I left my family in Kulai and shall only pick them up next week insyallah. I have 1 whole week of freedom and now that I`m back in the wild, I am trying to reacquire the surivor skills I have long forgotten.

So introducing Alissa Nur Latifa. Alissa is the name of a flower. Nur Latifa means pure/fine light. Her first photo taken about 2 hours after birth.

Alissa`s elder sister Lily. Looks like me and as stubborn also.

I wish all the best to my son Emir in dealing with his 3 sisters and on the right is the story teller Yasmin. Should have named her Shahrezad.
