The old home

The old home...

1. Reality of life is not always good... but does not mean it is not memorable.

2. At the early of the marriage, I rented this house for RM 650. It was so small, had literally 2 feet wide stairs since it was located on the first floor. It has less than 10 small windows so it was so hot even at night.

3. We had tv but I could not afford to subscribe the channels. So, we survived by watching movies and reading books.

4. We rode motorcycle and visited Bundle Shop to buy clothes. There was one incident where we almost crashed because there were morons tried to snatched the handbag.

5. Weekends were filled with running at the park so that we could sleep due to fatigue afterwards. Hence, less spending.

6. Then my wife started to work. There were no salary for the first 3 months (they only paid lump sum after that). Most of the time, I sent my wife to the hospital with motorcycle. When it was raining, I still sent her but with ponchos.

7. We lived like that for a year, without realising it. Then, things got better and we moved to our current house.

8. The aim was/is to live without borrowing and within capabilities. Thank you Allah for the memories and experiences.

So which of the favors of your lord would you deny?

Missing the heart beat

Worst 15 minutes ever in my life

1. 3 weeks ago, we went for shopping. We were buying new bottles for Aisyah. Aisyah was running around within our sight, trying to make new friends with other kids.

2. After choosing the bottles, wife went to the cashier and I will take care of Aisyah. The only problem was, Aisyah was not there.

3. I walked around fastly and started searching for her. I recognised the other kids and asked for my daughter. They said they did not know of her location.

4. I made few rounds and looked everywhere; changing room, feeding room and in between closets... I could not found her. I concluded that she was missing and she was not there. It was really tiring and exhausting; finally, the 2 km daily jogging routine paid off.

5. Luckily, I got experience. 5 years ago, I was helping a couple looking for their missing daughter in a mall. What the father did was, he walked around and told everyone that his daughter, wearing a specificcolored tshirt was missing. Without long pause, he walked ahead and told others the same and repeat. By doing that, everybody became his eyes and ears. So, I did the same!

6. After countless rounds, repeating the same sentences, finally a staff came and told me that a customer sent a missing child to the customer service. It was a huge relieved but I had to see myself for sure.

7. I went there and there she was, eyes watery while eating candies. Must be given by the staffs. I thanked the staffs and wiped out the sweat, and the eyes too. A stupid dust flew in. The wife looked calmer than I was.

8. Lessons learnt; all of the above!
