Silent Eid

By -
It's the eve of eid and finally am taking a time off after what just recently happened and I walked off disappointed n sad...

Two nights ago, I had the most wonderful dream, in which I was holding a lovely child in my arms that had eyes of an angel, rosy cheeks, soft thin hair and a smile that could make gloomiest day sunshiny bright.

As I kissed his forehead, I mentioned to him that I may not be the greatest man on earth but I promise that I will do all it takes to be the greatest father for him, Mikail Khan... And I vaguely remember thanking my wife for giving us a beautiful baby...

I turned as I said that and it was the most unbelievable person after so long but I did wake up with a smile amidst knowing that it could never be a reality, if it could, it would have already been... Funny how I never caught a single glimpse anywhere for a long long time, yet, the image was perfectly immaculate... Wow...

I'm the equivalent of the guy who sits at Central Park on Christmas' Eve feeling the snow in his fingers and being under mistletoe hoping for just one moment that someone could give him a warm sincere hug and he has a place he could call home...

I'm the wanderer, always been and always will... Guess what was said to me just now really did hurt, which at normal times wouldn't be such a big deal but at the state I'm in, it really did hurt... Oh well, one can try, but it's He who decides... As long as I've tried and gave my best shot...

Really wish my next Eid would be way different and if I could just have part of that recent dream come true, I'd consider myself truly blessed...

So have yourself a merry li'l eid and treasure your loved ones because the one's who usually values it the most are the ones who doesn't have it at all and wants it the most... To others, apart from the statement above, enjoy the holidays...

‘Datuk’ Shahrukh Khan Detained for 2 Hours in United States… So???

Saw in the news today, media abuzz on SRK being held for 2 hours at Newark International Liberty Airport. This reminded me of my old article I posted sometime back… Datuk Shahrukh Khan.... maa ehhhhh!!!   I bet fans around the world are throwing tantrums on the detention incident and as expected, the Indian media and political figures are calling for an equal treatment to be accorded to US VIPs and public figures during their visit to India…   And I’m certain the media of Malaysia would be joining the bandwagon to express their ‘disappointment’ on Datuk being detained… Certainly criticism and some experts would express their takes on the issue…   Let me bring everyone (including avid fans) back to reality… US is a sovereign nation that upholds law & order above everything else… When there is an uproar on discrimation, US is a country that does not discriminate definitely because apart from the President who travels on Air Force One, EVERYONE else is subjected to the sa

Since our marriage, my wife has always advised me on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, needless to say, it fell on deaf ears, countless efforts of hers just failed to move the titan towards losing weight. August 2019, I went for my yearly medical check up and for the first time ever, I failed to reach level 3 of my stress test. Which was a stress of its own! (That's Warning #1). In September, I realised that I was having a whistling sound as I climbed stairs and mobility was limited when I tried putting on socks (Warning #2). Before I have to write about Warning #3, in my panic and fear thanks to Web MD where every symptom leads to cancer/stroke/heart failure, I visited my local doctor, who asked me the simplest question, "did you gain significant weight recently?" Well, here it is in the public portal, I was indeed heaviest that I have ever been at 152kg! She gave a simple solution, "lose your weight" and being a close family friend, it followed with a

Saffron Hills - Our Dream Home In The Making...

Entrance Path to Denai Alam Denai Alam , a secluded township 10KM from Shah Alam city has been one of our favourite places to reside in Klang Valley. Connected by the Guthrie Corridor Expressway and away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan Kuala Lumpur. Our discovery of Denai Alam for the first time was approximately 3 years ago, thanks to Shane bhai but at that time, we just couldn't afford to pay the price of the properties. The unique bit of Denai Alam lies in the developer behind the whole project, Sime Darby Property Berhad with accolades of high-end projects in Malaysia that are well thought-off and features unique architectures. Denai Alam is no different in presenting the hallmark of Sime Darby in terms of township development. A year ago, we were browsing for properties in Denai Alam and we even got a property agent to show us available units, among the various types of properties, Opulenia  made us wish we had the money to get our dream home, but as i
