History Revisited!

By -
I wrote this entry last weekend as a continuation from my recent post on Saffron Hills - Our Dream Home in the Making... where history repeats itself. Approximately, 35 years ago in Berapit in a small town of Bukit Mertajam, a young man by the name of Ismail Khan moved into his new home with his family.

Right behind his house, taking a slightly hilly path, was another family of Mr Shah Din who forged a bond so strong that their children grew up as friends, ever so unique was the brotherly bond between Mr Khan's youngest son, with the grandchildren of Mr Shah Din, Shane and Iman.

Beyond any blood relation, their childhood friendship went to times of growing adults, to being masters of their own home and destiny. They saw everything thru together, the turmoils, the ups and downs, the laughters, the cries, the joys and the sorrows, whilst standing by each other without ever a second thought.

As I smile joyfully today, with so much gratitude to the Almighty for bestowing upon me these brotherhood for lifetime, history repeats itself with Iman's presence in Saffron Hills, couldn't contain my utter joy with hearing the great news and being so overwhelmed that my wish to have him nearby our home where we could look out for each other coming true.

The sweetener of all these is the fact that our homes are at the same layout as per my dad's home and his granddad's. And our Big Brother, Shane Bhai would be just a shout away overlooking both of us from the grandeurs of his luxurious balcony hahaha...

‘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

The Journey of a Two Digit Begins with Three Digits

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

Kawasaki Versys Stock Shortage

By -
It's coming close to 3 months that we placed our booking for Kawasaki Versys and still, up to now there is not a single indication of the arrival of the bikes. It's really reflecting badly on Kawasaki as a top notch manufacturer to be lacking in their production. Makes me question the competency of the production managers they have at Kawasaki! The latest reason we're hearing is that Kawasaki is having a tough time producing other models as they are rushing to fulfill the 250cc bikes that were ordered by Royal Malaysian Police! All in all, it is Kawasaki's lost as the competitors are fast taking the opportunity to get their products out in the market, giving second thoughts to people like me who are getting tired of waiting. So somebody up there in the office better be taking some actions or the consumers could turn to be the deciding factor to a dwindling confidence that is shedding faster than you could say 'Vroom Vroom'...
