New Year, new expectation, new resolutions?
Mine? Simple, be a better person 
The day was spent mostly at home, holiday isn’t it 
Though did go out with the wife to the wet market to get some groceries. Initially I planned to go to KL, to do some shopping, alas no tickets were to be found, no bus no train even 
I guess a lot of ppl are going back to KL after the long hol. So better I just resort to internet shopping hehe
So what did you do today?

Alhamdulillah, it’s my birthday again Thank you for all the wishes, either thru FB, YM, SMS and definitely IRL wishes
This year has definitely been something, from being a husband to a dad in mere months I accept the responsibility gladly, if not gracefully Also had to juggle between work and home, having to teach PMR (English) and SPM (Biology) in the same year have been a challenge. Made more friends, met new people, and also was given more responsibility both at work and at home.
Tiring? Yes. Worth it? Definitely! 
Hopes that in this year to come I have more to show for my age 
I do have something cooking, but it will not realize itself this year, next year… perhaps
Thanks to everyone who have made this year of my life most enjoyable.

Eidul Adha 1429
01258 days
As per the years before, when we talk about Eidul Adha, then it means that we are going to eat a lot of meat. Take for instance this year, from the first day I have been eating meat and meat and more meat. From Sate’s to Roti Jala with Chicken & Beef Kuzi. Today I went to my wife’s aunt we had some more meat! She made some Meccan Rice cuisine, and as per the norm for arabic food it contained a lot of meat! She lived there with her husband for a number of year so understandably it was good.
What does eating all these meat mean to me. It means that my blood pressure will surely rise, in fact I can feel the beginning of a headache. It also mean that I will not be able to eat meat for a month or two just to get my blood pressure back under control. The price you have to pay for eating delicious foods. What is done is done
Alya also had her share of the fun, she behaved very well when we went visiting family and friends. Even got her self some Duit Raya too. If only they would give it to her papa as well Hope you guys had as much fun during your eid celebration as I did (Alya did!).

Too Long Too Hectic

The past few weeks have been hectic, I don’t really know what happened but time just flew and I forgot entirely to update the blog
Sorry if my absent mindedness causes a lot of anxiety (like ppl read the blog pon!)
So we had a splendid raya, visited relatives as usual, went to more houses this year, bringing along Alya, she behaved nicely like a good girl she was, the only thing is she get hots easily and will make a fuss if we stay too long at a house She likes to be on the move!
Then after the raya it was busy busy school days again. Last week I only went to school for 1 day, the rest was spent with the district volleyball team, I was entrusted to coach the Under15 team. We only had 4 days to train…. the Girls managed to get into the semi final and left with the Bronze Medal Was really proud of them. Sadly, the Boys didn’t even pass the group prelims.. happy and sad at the same time 
While at the games I was informed that I would have to go to a Mini Games Carnival and was appointed as the referee for Volleyball. The wife also called to tell me that I was also appointed as an invigilator for SPM. So that means that this week I will only have 2 days to go to school, tomorrow and the day after. Next week I will no longer be at school. Didn’t expect that it would be this hectic at year end because usually there will be no more activities at this time of the year.
But I welcome it anyway, because I like it You may have expected that anyway Because when it is hectic, it means that I get more done. Plus, my time with the students have been realy maximized and there’s nothing more that I can do with/for them. The baton has been passed to them. I do hope that they would do well in Biology this year.
Best of all, my wife has been very understanding throughout this hectic period, considering the fact that I will be leaving her again next week I think that’s all that I could jot down today, probably I would do another entry after this.

Ramadhan 1429H Cameron Highland Trip
71352 days
It is now a week into the month of Ramadhan. As a sort of celebration of Ramadhan and because of our belated anniversary. I took the wife and baby to Cameron Highlands for 3 days and 2 night.
Actually we are very familiar with CH as my wife worked there for 3 years. We stayed at an aparment which is owned by my wife’s friend. It was very comfortable, 3 bedroom 2 bathroom, comes fully furnished. Quite a homely feeling. As my wife commented, even our house at Gua Musang doesn’t have a sofa
51st National Day
01359 days
Today is our nation’s 51st national day, yes I prefer the word national day as opposed to “independence”. Why?
First of all I truly believe we have not even one bit loosen the shackles that was left by our colonizer.
Our minds and our lifestyle is still tied to the old ways as dictated by them.
Second one is, because Malaysia was only born years later on September 16, 1963 as such the 51st Merdeka is only of the States of Malaya.
This year the theme is “Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan” as the saying goes, “bersatu kita maju, bercerai kita roboh” or “united we stand, divided we fall”. A most suitable theme when there is much tension and emotions running wild in the country.
Peace my friends,

Short Holiday 2008
01370 days
My mid sem holiday is somewhat over. I’m already back at Gua Musang. Am here early so that I can start on the new timetable as well as properly putting the stuff that I moved from the old house.
So how did I spent my short holiday, basically there was not much that I did, I attended a relative’s wedding. It was a simple affair nothing grand but the atmosphere was definitely festive.
The Imam that did the solemnization was really funny, first he made the groom really nervous by purposely saying another person’s name. Then he gave the usual wedding sermon. After the solemnization is the really funny part. He then transformed into the wedding director. Even telling the newly weds what to do. For instance he told the groom to put on the ring to the wife’s finger and then counted so that the photographers get a chance to snap pictures. Then he instructed the groom to kiss the bride and then counted very fast saying that it needn’t be too long as they have other times to do it as long as they want.
On another note, Alya is not feeling pretty well lately she has been coughing and the doctor have given her some medication. But the cough have not really subsided so far.
Alya is also pretty heavy right now. When we weighted her at 1 month old she was already 3.6kg an increment of 500 grams then at 2 months old her weight shot up to 4.7kg. I bet when we weigh her next she’ll be close to 6 or 7kg.
Till next time

PMR Trial 2008
51375 days

Have been pretty busy this week, for starters, the school was open on saturday as we had to replace for the Aidil Fitri holiday. What’s more was that this week was the Trial Exam for PMR.
The questions were a bit tough for English, a few students just didn’t know what the questions really wanted. They gave a dialogue whereby two persons were debating on the good and bad of being involved in sports. The students were asked who they agreed with. So the students had to do 2 things, first was to extract the main points and then use it as a basis for their own opinion. Pretty tough but some had managed to do it quite nicely.
Tomorrow is the Mid Semester 2 break, but I have not started my journey back to my kampung yet, instead I’m going to finish arranging and moving all the small items to the new house. Hope I can finish it all in a day as on saturday we have to attend a wedding.
I have another story, but we will get to that story another day

Moving Blues

I have finished moving, and there were several hiccups along the way. For instance, I had to wait for 3 days to get my telephone line reinstalled, that explains why I haven’t been updating my blog.
There were also problems with the lorry that was supposed to pick up some of the bigger stuffs. Supposedly they promised to come pick it up saturday afternoon. but in the end I had to switch to another lorry and they couldn’t make it in such a short notice, but only the next evening. The astro installer was amazingly easy to get hold of, in fact I called him and he came by 1 hour later after he was finished at another house.
So far the home is pretty cozy, no problem in sight. A locksmith will be coming this friday to change a lock. Also a builder will be coming next week to fix a shed at the back of the house. Now all I need to do is just a little bit of plumbing. Need to fix the pipes so that it will be easier to use it for the washing machine.
All in all, it was a good week though I still have a few more item left at the old house. Plus good a pretty achy muscle from the heavy lifting.
