Note to my mother


Mak, my apologies for expressing this. I never have the intention to break your heart.

Mak, You  wonder why don't I buy myself a brand new car…..
The 11 year old German stallion is still our pride despite of its age and condition... and the minivan that bapak is driving is still our happy ride.

Mak, you were asking why I wasn’t chauffeured driven like my friends..
Honestly mak, I would love too. Who doesn't kan ;p

Mak, you were asking why I do not buy designer handbags, wear expensive jewelery, branded clothing and all.
I don’t need them mak. I’m happy with my handbags though they are a little outdated. In fact I think I have too many of them already. They may not be Hermes and the fact that I do not have to pay for them indicates that I am blessed with love. Clothes? You know how kedekut-stingy I can be when buying my own attire (but not for the kids)

Mak, you were asking why I didn’t upgrade my house.
The truth is mak, the  house is already too quiet and feeling empty without you in it. I am sorry that the house can no longer accommodate your needs. I will arrange for a way so that the house is friendly enough for your wheel chair.

Mak, you were asking why can’t I live a life like the them..
Continuous upgrade of their cars, home, glamorous life, etc...
Even if I work harder I will not be able to reach there kot mak. BUT praise to Allah, our life is still much better than before….we can still afford to go for annual overseas trip and a nice makan2 kan?

Mak, I am sorry if I’m not able to meet your expectation.
I wish I could give you more.. like a business class seats for our every trip, a 5 star hotel for our holiday, chit chatting with you, take you for high tea every day, send you and bapak for umrah every year.

Mak, I have not once shed  tears in your presence since you got sick.
But I do weep in the car park, in surau or whenever there's no one around.

I pray that you will get well soon mak. Cepat sembuh and able to stand on your feet again mak.
It’s just killing me to see you like this. I just missed your Quran recitation after each prayer.
I promise I will not go emotional whenever you are dissatisfied with my little achievement.

I have always the one that troubled you so much. I may not display my compassion as the rest of the brothers but I do care. I may not be kind with my words at times and I do admit I am feeling a bit sad when you belittled my contribution..

May Allah answer all your prayers, shower you with His countless blessings, protect you always.
Love you mak.
Forever and always.
Forgive me for my wrongdoings and please do keep me in your prayer, like always.

Love always
Your only daughter

p/s: sorry I do not post our pic whenever we hanging out or holiday-ing, or express my words publicly like others.. Ini pun first attempt nih.I have failed miserably.

T@lentcorp-mari pulang ke Malaysia saudara, saudari

"I had never contemplated staying abroad ... Malaysia is home (to me)," says the affable Johan Mahmood Merican. In so many ways, the 37-year-old is the ideal person to be tasked with retaining and drawing talent back to Malaysia. As the recently-appointed head of Talent Corp Malaysia Bhd, that is exactly his mandate. As I was writing this, I am almost finished reading a book written by Ustaz Hasrizal “ Aku terima Nikahnya” . There is one chapter in his book, where he has written about how challenging life is back home in Malaysia compared to living abroad. He was reminiscing about the quality time he had with his family during their stay in UK and Scotland in comparison to the life in “tanahairku’. This post is about T@lencopr and life Malaysia. “ It’s almost 9.00pm there and you are still in the office?” asked my brother who called me all the way from middle east. Yes, life is not a bed of roses and I had to carry the guilt conscience with me every day to them…”them” are re

Celebrating Achievements at 50: A Journey of Resilience, Self-Care, and Countless Blessings

Life is a tapestry woven with diverse experiences, both triumphs and challenges. As I embrace the milestone of turning 50, I find myself reflecting on the remarkable journey that has led me here. From overcoming health struggles to navigating emotional heartbreak and embracing personal growth, this transformative period has shaped me in profound ways. Today, I celebrate the accomplishments and blessings that have emerged from continuous trials and tribulations, while keeping my faith in Allah (SWT) as my guiding light. 2021 The year that my life took an unexpected turn when I underwent a hysterectomy. Thank you my Cyrene & Joe for encouraging me in making this decision, finally after 6 years. Hehehe.. This journey tested my physical and emotional resilience, as I faced the challenges that accompany major surgery and hormonal changes. While the road to recovery was arduous, this experience taught me the value of perseverance and the strength that lies within. I emerged from this cha

In Loving Memory of Mama.. a cool garang MIL

Image
I am obviously not the best daughter-in-law one could have. But  I’m the fun one! Hehehe…However, despite my shortcomings, I always held a deep respect for Mama. Your cooking skills were unparalleled, and I could never match your culinary expertise. But I do try my best to light the stove every now and then, attempting to recreate the flavors you so effortlessly created. Mama, I will never forget that moment when your medical test results came out. We didn't share them with anyone else. The world seems upside down, and all I could offer was my unwavering support and heartfelt prayers. It was an incredibly awkward moment when you asked me to bathe you. Little did I know that it would be the last time, as you took your final breath shortly after. I cherish that memory and feel grateful to have been able to care for you in your final moments. That last look you gave me is etched in my memory. As I informed you that I had to return to the office, unable to stay by your side in your h
