A blast from the past and berlapang dada

Recently we had a colleague who was actually treated for NSTEMI, he was a smoker , now just a vaper ( is that the correct term? ) He is about my age. Alhamdulillah he recovered well and now has started working.

Today another one of our colleagues had a bout of chest pain . Suspected to be unstable angina possibly . This guy refused to go to the ED , ardent smoker and vaper if i am not mistaken .

Talk about wake up calls . A reminder for us to take care of our health.
Too many obligations and responsibilities to shoulder . Would be a bit irresponsible to neglect our health.

Need to start back with sports , for now let's target
- weekly badminton
- weekly futsal
- 1 in 3 brisk walk

Kena maintain KPI InsyaAllah
Wish me success


I have a soft spot for Sheila on 7, my favourite album is still 07 Des



A song for all the smokers and their cigarettes




 Lapang Dada

Apa yang salah dengan lagu iniKenapa kembali ku mengingatmuSeperti aku bisa merasakanGetaran jantung dan langkah kakimuKe mana ini akan membawaku
Kau harus bisaBisa berlapang dadaKau harus bisaBisa ambil hikmahnyaKarena semuaSemua tak lagi samaWalau kau tahu dia pun merasakannya
Di jalan yan setapak kecil iniSeperti ku mendengar kau bernyanyiKau tahuKau tahuRasaku juga rasamu

Kau harus bisaBisa berlapang dadaKau harus bisaBisa ambil hikmahnyaKarena semuaSemua tak lagi samaWalau kau tahu dia pun merasakannya
Ke mana ini akan membawakuAku takkan pernah tahu
Kau harus bisaBisa berlapang dadaKau harus bisaBisa ambil hikmahnyaKarena semuaSemua tak lagi samaWalau kau tahu dia pun merasakannya
Mengirim cahaya untukmu

The secret of success is the consistency of purpose

So basically i waited another 2 years for my next blog posting ..
If that isn't the epitomy/epitome(unlikely epitope)  of procrastination , i am not sure what is.. hahaha

2/11/2016 was our 4th wedding anniversary . It has been a very happy 4 years. Alhamdulillah - here's to another 40 more years insya-Allah .

Prior to that something mildly peculiar happened - got a call from a familiar random number - looked like a scam number. Didn't answer - was too occupied with the new PS4 that the Missus got me.

I would like to say that i didn't make any post for the past 2 years because i was busy for my Part I exams . Lucky number 4 - passed it on my 4th attempt - Alhamdulillah

Came back from work today - saw that the car was scratched at the back end of the car - suspecting the work of a random stranger or a white whale . My initial response was understandably not receptive/furious - getting your car scratched for no reason is not something pleasant,especially if you didn't hit/scratch any car or double parked.

I considered numerous alternatives
1) Facebook rant as usual
2) Doa for revenge
3) Hendap kereta kat parking lot besok

Then i thought about all the above options , imagined all the time and effort it would take and made the most logical decision , play FIFA 17. Oh yeah , forgive and forget too .

The Prophet ﷺ said that: “Whoever suffers an injury and forgives (the person responsible), God will raise his status to a higher degree and remove one of his sins” (Al-Tirmidhi).

Age has mellowed me , for the better i would feel. I do not see the point of unnecessary conflict/drama. Takes up too much time and effort (physically and emotionally ) . In other words , I am just too old for this shit .
In the grand scheme of things , this was just a minor hiccup - no lasting harm (apart from the resale value of the car) .

Now I am just sat here at my table - listening to Sheila on 7 and Peterpan.
I am content, Alhamdulillah.

I  really do understand the saying 'everything happens for a reason '.
