Assalamualaikum,

Alhamdulillah.. All thanks to Allah S.W.T.. I'm still alive and kickin'.. haha! Anyway, I'm back to blogging.. In my blog is where you will find posts that you cant get in my FB or Twitter. Those are too public.. not many knows about my blog.. so yeah~

Anyway, I just came back from Desaru in the morning just now.. reached home at about 0300hrs.. so damn tired.. It goes something like this..

Last Friday, my company Singtel organised D&D night for all staffs at Fairmont Hotel.. I went with Abang Fahmi.. Oh btw, My Fiancee had her interview with HDB on that day too.. will share later shortly.. Ok, back to D&D.. Abang Fahmi picked me up at Fiancee's void deck and we went to Plaza Singapura first to collect Abang Fahmi's internet dongle.. after that we headed to Raffles City for our D&D.. there, we met up with Rabbany and other of our colleagues..

The dinner was served Chinese style.. course after course.. it was delicious.. we were entertained by our Singtel staffs as well as some local artistes.. It was a great night.. but the sad thing was, I didn't win any lucky draw prize.. oh well~ Anyway, it ended around midnight.. Rabbany sent me home.. cool~

D & D

The next day, my department organised an outing to Desaru.. a team building event.. we gather at Paya Lebar Exchange around 0645hrs.. had light breakfast and left at about 0715hrs.. we reached Desaru before noon.. our management had some briefings and after that we played our team-building games.. we had our free time after our dinner.. me and some colleagues karaoke-ed till midnight.. we left Desaru the next day after noon.. I didnt follow the majority but followed Rabbany and gang (Zack, Zali and Zaini) instead.. Zali drove Zack's car to Genting Highland.. it was my first time taking a car to the summit.. we wind down the window when we were going up the mountain.. it was very cold xia!

We spent a couple of hours there and we left at about 2100hrs.. Zack drove all the way to Singapore and we reached Kranji about 0230hrs.. I took taxi from there.. I was freaking tired when I'm home..

Anyway, throughout the whole journey, I was disappointed with some colleagues.. most are engaged and some are married.. It's not that I wanna say bad about them but, I just wanna share.. Prolly it's a lesson for me too.. Colleagues like Zack and Rabbany.. I look up to them like a role model.. it's because they are both engaged, and so am I.. I expect them to be loving towards their Fiancee.. It's not that they cheat but they talk about other ladies, especially one of our colleagues - Hidayu.. and also the way they talked about their status now like they're unhappy with it.. Rab is too stress with his wedding preparation, Zack don't give a damn about his Fiancee.. entah laa..

No matter what I'm facing in this relationship with Fiancee, I never talk bad about her.. if I'm angry with her, she's the first to know.. I know she's trying her best to improve the situation.. and I'm scared if I pressure her too much.. I believe that we make mistakes but we can perfect the imperfections.. I may be a naughty boy but I am faithful to my Fiancee.. and no matter how naughty I am, I dont smoke, I dont drink and I dont hanky panky.. I want my Fiancee to trust me and insya'Allah I wont break that trust.. 

Alrite.. that's all for today's entry.. will update again soon.. Chaoz~

Assalamualaikum,

Before reading my post, please visit this link first : Tiada lagi ibu tercinta disisi

Yesterday night, my mom handed me a piece of A4 paper for me to read.. it's an article about this 3 siblings who are living by themselves after the death of their late mom.. I didn't really read through but somehow my heart opened up to help these 3 teens.. my parents asked me if there's any way that they can contact the teens.. I saw an email address belonging to the reporter who reported about them.. I quickly emailed the reporter and asked for their contacts.. at about 2100hrs, the elder brother called my mobile and we arranged a meet up at their house the next day after break-fast..

After fetching dad from work, me and my parents break our fast at Bedok's  Segar Restaurant before heading to the teens' crib.. we cabbed down to Dover Road and Alhamdulillah we reached their house.. it's a 3-room house with a service balcony behind their kitchen.. I can say, thier house is big for a 3-room flat.. Only Nas and Aman were at home.. Amin went to break fast with his friends outside.. The 5 of us sat in the living room and had our conversation.. After getting to know them, I feel so proud of the elder brother to make an effort to get financial help from organisations such as AMP and CDC.. He's playing a very important role in the family now.. just imagine, having a role of a parent at the age of 20.. he's going to NS (SPF) in November.. He also told us that he's not sure about his future.. whether to sign-on with the SPF or look for other opportunities.. he might also wants to further his studies but he confessed to us that he doesn't really like studying.. His brothers, Aman and Amin are curently student in the ITE.. Aman is taking Info-Comm Tech in ITE McPherson and Amin is studying in ITE Tampines.. Aman also told us that he loves cooking and hopes to a chef one day.. his brother Amin is into photography.. While we were having our conversation, I realised that behind me there was nothing.. well, usually we'll have a TV set in the living room but I turn around, there was no TV.. so I wonder how they keep themselves entertained.. I didn't ask coz I feel it's a bit sensitive.. me and my parents left at about 2100hrs.. I saw tears from the elder brother's eyes.. Deep down I know he's a strong dude.. so does his 2 other brothers..

There are alot that I learnt from the visit.. To be thankful with what we have.. Even if we have no TV or any thing that other people have but we cannot afford.. Probably good things will come to those who wait.. or, Allah will give us something better than the 'wants' that we asked for..

To make an effort to search for information or to find out about something - in this case, the elder brother looks for bodies that are able to support them with their financial difficulties.. with the information given to him, at least he will know how to divide the money he receives to pay for different bills.. or, he's knowledgeable about what's happening around..

But the most valuable lesson that I learnt from the visit is to cherish and appreciate our folks.. our parents.. our family.. spend time with them as much as you can now while the are still alive.. don't regret after they depart from this world.. love.. care.. and most importantly, respect them.. heed their advice and do not go against them..

It opened up my mind and my heart.. to see things that are not visible to the eye.. to feel things that my hands couldn't touch.. and to taste the sweet and sour (of our life) without using the tongue.. Alhamdulillah, maybe this is the way Allah wants me to go.. Insya'Allah I will make more effort to get involve in this kind of activities.. Amin :)

Hey man..

Just to update a few things.. firstly, I already applied for a house in Punggol.. It's called 'Punggol Waterway Cascadia'.. Saw the drawing of the building and it was damn nice.. me and fiancee hope that we can get the apartment facing the waterway.. anyway, it is about $317,000 - $349,000.. expensive~ Now we are waiting for their email so that we can go for our balloting.. we hope we can get at least level 5 and above.. insya'Allah..

Secondly, we are less than 2 years before our wedding.. me and my mom already planned for my side.. Im not sure about fiancee's side.. I just want a simple yet memorable event.. but the colour theme gotta be purple and pink..

Im still disappointed with Fiancee.. she still cannot get a job.. or maybe she doesnt put any effort to look for it.. I donno ah.. Im sick and tired of repeating the same advice..

We have alot of things to do and pay.. We need to go for marriage course.. I cant be paying everything.. I have loads of things to pay too.. haizz.. whenever I try to talk about it with her, its like useless.. it doesnt change a thing.. I might as well focus on what Im doing now..

Hopefully things will be better tmr.. time to sleep.. nitez~
