Jenan Here We Come

Chicken with the Pox!

Satu hari lps balik dari sekolah, aku perasan macam ada bintik2 merah kat leher Danish. I was curious and told him to have a shower, while I went to look for Elomet. Malam tu lps sembahyang Maghrib, cam bintik2 kecik merah naik kat muka Danish and within that few hours lps dia mandi tadi, the spread was so fast. Damn, this is not any one of those eczema allergies that Danish usually had. So, cepat2 aku bawak dia pi klinik. I was right. It was Chicken Pox. I remember having them when I was 11 and it was soooo irritating having all those tiny red dots covering all over your bodies. The second thing we were concern of is fearing that Iman might also catch it as well.

Soon we discovered from Alisya's mum that there was a parent that still send their child for school although the boy had chicken pox, and Alisya herself also had chicken pox last 3 days! Arghhh, geram betul rasanye. Dia cakap dah ada 3-4 budak yang kena. So Honey and I decided to have Danish off for school for a week while he gets extra care from his Opah at home. In about 3 days, the red rashes spread to his upper part of his body, his neck, his face and all over his head. And after a day or two, it started fading. Mak made this special so-called foundation using daun bambu which is known by our orang2 tua to be the curse for chicken pox. So we started to put those one as well as the cream and medication that the doctor had presribed earlier.


Danish ni dah cam pokok je ayah". Haha, cam incredible hulk pon ade!

Harap2 pasni baek la tu. Be strong my son!

Genap Setahun Pemergian Adinda Airyz Hanum Bt Ahmad - Al-Fatihah

Today marks up one year lps arwah Airyz Hanum tinggalkan kami. Terus terang aku cakap, aku tatau camne kitorg berjaya tabahkan hati mengadap setahun tu tanpa Airyz. Allah Maha Penyayang.

2 minggu lps, aku ajak mak pegi HUKM setelkan bil hospital Hahum yang dari dulu lagi nak dibayar tapi x sempat-sempat nak pegi. Aku terus parking kereta depan Jabatan Kecemasan tu. "Teringat masa kita hantar Hanum kat Kecemasan ni dulu kan Mie?", mak bertanya, sayu. Aku tengok mak. Aku angguk. Aku dapat lihat air mata mak bertakung. Sampai je kat kaunter, aku tunjuk invoice bayaran. Akak kat kaunter tu tanya, "Nak bayar penuh ke camne ni Encik?". "Penuh", aku jawab pendek. Dah setel, dia terus printkan resit dan senyum. "Adik nya dah sihat ke?", tiba-tiba akak tu tanya. Aku tersentak. Berat hati rasanye nak jawab. "Arwah dah takde kak. Dah setahun dah". Muka akak tu terkejut dan tiba2 bertukar muka bersalah. "Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun, sori encik, saya tak tahu".

Lepas setahun ni jugak, tengah aku dok trasnfer file2 dari laptop office ke portable hard disk tiba2 aku terjumpa 3GP files video-video terakhir bersama arwah. Video tu masa kitorang pegi bercuti kat Tembeling Resort Kuantan dan jugak kat Country Heights. Memang video ni tak pernah tengok balik lps dirakam. Sayu aku rasa tengok muka arwah adik ipar aku dalam video tu. Seronok sangat kitorang masa tu. Balik2 lps buka puasa, aku terus tunjuk video tu kat Honey. Mengalir air mata dia. Rindu sangat dia kat adik dia tu. Subhanallah, pendek sungguh kehidupan di dunia mu ni Ya Allah.

Moga Allah merahmati rohmu wahai adinda yang kami sayangi, Airyz Hanum Bt Ahmad, Amin.

Danish's THC Sport's Day

Hari ni Tadika Hidayah Cahayaku (THC) punye Sport's Day. Pukul 7.00 pagi lagi Danish dah bangun. Memang dia pantang je ayah nye takde kat sebelah dia kat katil tu. Terus nak bangun. "Cepat Danish, mandi. Karang nak pi lari-lari." Danish jawab, "Nak lari skarang ke Yah?" (short form for Ayah). "Ye la, skarang laa... lambat kang panas plak..." Terus semangat dia pegi mandi.

Danish feeling the champion aura!

Opah Danish datang bagi morale support! Jgn main2, Opah Danish ni juara rebut kerusi Peringkat Negeri Perak ooo...

Sebelum start, ambik gambar dulu dengan piala2. Just in case... hehe...

Iman pon datang memberi sokongan kepada Abang Danish walau pon tak cukup tido...

Line up guys...

Rupa2nye, Danish tak masuk acara lari pon. Tapi acara Rebut Kerusi. He came to me and sounded frustrated. "Danish tak suka main rebut kerusi, Danish x pandai. Danish nak main lari2". I told him that he'll do just fine. And it turned out that, he played quite well. Not bad at all to get the 3rd place!

Daddy's proud of you son! That's my boy!!!

Dad drove home babbling proudly about his son the whole journey and announced like, "Tempat ketiga acara rebut kerusi jatuh kepada ... WAN DANISH HAIQAL!!!..."

Danish looked at me and asked, "Ayah,... kalau tak jatuh?"

Ahhh there... I've a lot of explanation to do.

Iman's turn! 'The Nurse' is on call AGAIN!

Alhamdulillah, Danish has fully recovered. And just went I thought I can now breath those air of relief and get back to work, the following week Iman plak demam. Masya Allah...

Danish & Dad during the ride to the Klinik. Can see those two I'm-not-feeling-good-dreamy eyes of his

Iman is teething and unfortunately her special package of teething comes with a fever. Poor dad had to cancel his appoinments and once again, put on his nurse badge (again!) and nurse Little Iman at home. Ni dah gigi yang ke 11. Hopefully, not another kapak ek did. Daddy love you!

Cian dia...

Lin's Goodbye

Finally, after 8 long years serving the company, a close friend of mine in CTM, Lin is leaving the company.

All the best beb! You'll have a promising future wherever you go. That's one thing I'm very sure of my friend. Thanks for the memories and friendship ever since our times kat CTM. Keep in touch ya? I owe you Tony Romas for your farewell. Jgn lupa kosongkan perut ko 3 hari in advance! Haha... Good luck!

P/s : Hari ini dalam sejarah 18 Jun 2007 genaplah 2 tahun pemergian Ayahanda Hj Ahmad B. Ismail. Moga Allah menempatkan roh beliau di kalangan hamba2Nya yang solihin, Amin.

FB Status : Fahimi is nursing Danish at home

I'm taking 2 days off from work nursing Danish at home. Honey took an upaid leave day off yesterday. Yeah, poor Danish had a fever a day before he was suppose to go to school after the long school break. I must admit, I can't concentrate when I'm at work when my kids are sick. Too bad that the many sickness and infections that today's world possess (or offer, for that matter!) doesn't seems to make me ease at my couch any better. Sigh.

Again, I can't focus when either Danish or Iman get sick. The fact that they are at the nursery when they are sick even worries me more. No offense to their teachers. They are doing great so far. But with those number of kids in the nursery, they can't possibly be taking care of Danish or Iman all the time although they happen to be sick. Can't blame 'em either. The way I see it is taking a day or two off from work and nurse them personally. At least when the fever gets really hot or bad, I can straight away come to their aid. And until I see their health is getting better, only I will let them go to nursery again. Or else, another day off from work.

The many sad and tragic incidents from our family's personal experience which still echoes very loudly makes me treasure my family more than anything in this world. I won't take things for granted. Saying that, I'm really fortunate to have an understanding superior and a job that is flexible and can be custom made to my timing and all (Although I'm not sure where the company is heading at this point of time! Haha). By having that, I'm enable to balance my time for my work and family at the same time! I guess only a few people are blessed with that. And I'm glad to be one of those very few. I love my kids, and family with all my heart. May Allah protect them all, Amin.


p/s : Count your blessings. You'll be surprised with what god has bestowed you with. On another note, Danish is showing positive signs of getting better. I might cancel my leave tomorrow after all!

Kalau dah rezki...

Smalam aku pi OU. Niat di hati nak shopping baju keje aku & Honey. End up baju Danish & Iman jugak yg kitorg borong! Iskk... that's the thing when you become parents. Skali semasa pi surau, terserempak Kucai, GG n anak2. So good to see them in person after so many years. Sblm ni dok tgk dlm FB je. Nak dipendekkan cite, kat lobby OU tu Watson buat promotion for Blackmore supplements. Masa balik KB baru ni pon aku ada cakap dgn Babah about this add on TV pasal Kordell supplements for rheumatoid or osteoarthritis (Yup, dad is suffering from gout and athritis on and off). Price shown on the add was RM188.00. Aku tanya Babah, tak nak try ke? Babah kata boleh gak kalau orang nak sponsor. Aku senyum je la. Dalam hati, Insya Allah.

Skali masa kitorang pi OU ari tu, tengah promotion Blackmore plak. Ni pon lebeh kurang Kordell gak la. Brand je lain. The promotion was to good to resist. A perfect gift for Father's Day. Normal price at RM188.00. Promo price RM129.00 plus you get 50 tablets FOC plus a Watson voucher of RM8.00 that can be redeemed intantly. So you only pay RM121.00. Promotion ends tomorrow at limited stocks. Baru je syok dok tanya2, Danish lak tarik tangan aku. "Ayah, Ayah jangan marah ye? Danish nak kencing". Alamak, at this point of time? Dah la dah nak dekat kul 11 ni. Kang tutup plak. Aisei man, terus aku cepat2 bawak dia to a toilet nearby. Nearby nearby pon, jauh gak la aku jalan. By the time I got back, the booth dah tutup. Frustrated I was. Dah takde rezki kot. Kena beli normal price gak la kot. Aku nekad, esok hari aku akan datang lagi.

Keesokan hari aku pi sana. Aku tarik nafas lega. Sib baek ada stok lagi. Cuma yang frustnya, voucher RM8.00 tu dah takde. So I had to be happy with with RM129.00. Lepas bayar, the cashier said that every purchase above RM80 is entitled for a lucky draw. So dengan bsimillah aku cabut the draw. Bukak2, dapat an RM10.00 voucher from Parkson. Haha. Compared to the RM8.00 voucher which I failed to get, with this Parkson voucher aku untung lagi dua hinggit.



Alhamdulillah. Betul la kata orang, kalau dah rezki tu, rezeki jugak. No matter how much you twist and turn. Babah, this one's for you. Happy Father's Day!

Sepetang di Taman Layang Layang

Hakim, Mak, Honey & Iman Syuhada

Iman Syuhada menikmati suasana petang

Layang-layang I like!

Uncle Jai tengah pening nak pilih kipas angin utk Iman. Pakcik Mithali ni, baguh demo!

Ahhh... quality time.

Love this shot by Bro Zairy, emphasizing on the green grass. Adanye kitorang kat tengah2 tu menaikkan lagi seri gambar ni. Huehehe...

Uncle Jai cuba menunjukkan skill menaikkan layang-layang.


Seems like Iman had enough of this 'poyo-ness' by the park! Uwaaa,... udah2 la tu... nak balik, nak balik...

Jom Pasir Gudang!

These few photos were taken during our trip to Pasir Gudang following my oustation trip there having to cover Johor. We went there to visit Danish's Uncle, Ayah Kim and Uncle Jai. Adik & adik ipar aku la tu!

I have a date!

Taking the day off today. I've a date with someone special. It ain't easy to date and take her out without bringing along her two children together. Today she's taking half day just to spend her time with me. And her two kids are at their nursery. Usually when we go out, her kids would come between us and kinda ruin our privacy, with her eldest son not wanting to let go of his mother's hand, and her daughter in her embrace. Now, it's just the two of us. Like I always wanted.

Love you dear. Moga jodoh kita berpanjangan hingga ke akhirnya, Amin

I'm dating my beloved wife Honey, catching a movie at Alamanda with Danish & Iman at their nursery. Who says married couple can't date no more?

Selamat Pengantin Baru Mohd Kamal & Najihah

Akhirnya adik Honey merangkap adik ipar aku, Kamal selamat menamatkan zaman terunanye hari ni dengan gadis pilihannya Najihah Bt. Hj Ahmad di Masjid Kg Asahan, Gemencheh, Negeri Sembilan.

Well, looks like finally I've lost my 'menantu bongsu Hj Ahmad' title to Jiha. Alhamdulillah, dah selamat smua. Honey-Miss-Wedding-Planner pon lega dapat siapkan gubahan hantaran on time. Selamat Pengantin Baru Kamal & Najihah, Moga Berbahagia Hingga Ke Anak Cucu!


p/s : Kena amik gambar kat henpon Anjah ni.

Happy Birthday Airyz!

She'll turn 21 should she still be with us today. Been nine lonely months since she left us and deep down inside we still miss her very much. In remembering Airyz Hanum. Sis, this one's for you, Al-Fatihah.

Hanum's photo with Iman during Mother's Day celebration at Chicken Hartz Buffet, Sunway Pyramid. Photo taken on 13 May 2008. Been almost a year now since that date.

"Nak ikuttt............"

Normally in the morning, I would send Danish off to school first because his assembly starts precisely at 8 a.m. After Honey feeds her breakfast, then it's adik punye turn lak gi skolah. Today she insisted that she wanted to follow ayah hantar abang Danish gi sekolah. So, ayah yang agak cair dengar dia nangis, terpaksa la jugak bawak dia skali dengan tak mandinye tu. Masuk je dalam kete, sengih je la si kambing kecik nih. Isk isk, Iman, Iman. Honey said that I am pampering the kids too much? Am I? Pampering yes, but hopefully not too much...

School here we come!

Danish and Iman ready for school

The Family's 2nd Car

Atas desakan adik gua Farah, gua terpaksa la buat this post. This is the family's second car which I bought as a present for my wife, Honey. She will be driving this red guy daily to work from Bangi to Pandan Indah back and forth. With this, she'll be home earlier to spend time with me and the kids. Looking at the current situation with both of us working and the kids going to school, nursery and all, an extra 30 minutes is precious enough for a quality time with the family. I will do anything for that precious 30 minutes! You can say that again...

Especially for you dear, drive safely!

Danish's School Science Project

Ni Danish punye school science project. Pokok Taugeh!

In Tribute to a friend, Hj. Asmady Zakaria - Al-Fatihah

He was my ex-classmate back in primary school (SRK Kamil 1) and also my schoolmate in Maahad Muhammadi. Asmadi Zakaria was a true friend. After Maahad, we lost contact and I got to meet him several times in UIA during my studying years when I went there to visit Honey. We met again after our school reunion last Eidul Adha. I went to UIA where he worked (Asmady was the head of department for IT in UIA PJ). We had lunch together and talked about good old times. He said that he missed all our Kamilians friends. We promised that one day we will arrange sort of a guy reunion thing with all our ex-classmate staying in KL. We never did.

Asmady Zakaria - kehilanganmu dirasai...

My last meeting with him was at MRR2 when his Merc gave out by the road and I went for his rescue. Luckily, I was driving from my MIL's house to office using MRR2 and saw him by the highway. Brought him to a workshop nearby to buy a battery for his car and helped him fixed his car. After that we only met over the net in Facebook, YM and stuffs. Little did I know, that would be the last time I'll be hearing from him.

He passed away on his way home in Bukit Mahkota from solat jumaat where he felt down from his motorcycle. The doctor said that his death wasn't because of the accident but was from interceleberal bleeding in his brain which most probably resulted from the BP problem he was suffering. There was a high possibility that he was already breathless before his motorcycle collapsed. He didn't even had the opportunity to celebrate his 31st birthday which will be in another 3 days. His sudden death, gave everyone grieving in a state of shock; devastated. Arwah left behind a wife.

With his wife

Reminiscing how he died, we all wish that we would do anything to be there with him during his very last breath. Maybe this was what Airyz's friends felt when she passed away August last year. So unbearable yet full of sorrow. Wallahu A'lam, Allah knows what's best for him. Mady, you're a true friend. Moga Allah merahmati roh beliau dan tempatkan beliau di kalangan mereka yang beriman, Amin.

With his students at UIA PJ

My kids

Dah besor dah dua beradik ni, Danish & Iman. Dah tiba masanye tambah sorang lagi! Hehehe...

My girl, Iman Syuhada

Ahh, that smile!

Cikgu Bintik!

Pada satu petang lepas balik dari sekolah, Danish menyanyi lagu 'Ya Thoybah'. Aku yang agak impressed dengan anakku yang sorang ni terus tanya, "Fulamak, pandai la Danish nyanyi Ya Thoybah. Sapa yang ajar?"

Danish : "Jap, Ayah pandai tak nyanyi Ya Thoybah?"

Aku : "Haha, ayah boleh la sikit2. Tapi Danish lagi pandai. Sapa ajar Danish?

Danish : Cikgu Danish la ajar.

Aku : Cikgu mana?

Danish : Alaa, cikgu yang muka bintik bintik tuu...

Tergelak besar aku. Bertuah punye anak murid! Keh keh keh. Kalau cikgu tu tahu aku rasa kompem dia terus balik inject botox! Danish, Danish. Main sedap je panggil cikgu dia. Ada lagi sorang cikgu Danish tu muka dia cam adik aku Farahah yang Danish panggil Aunty Ha. Terus dia panggil cikgu tu 'Cikgu Aunty Ha'! Ish ish ish...

p/s : Kids say the darndest things!

Iman and The Ring

Honey's brother, Kamal is getting married this upcoming early May and he needs a ring to seal it off. Realizing the fact that gold from Kelantan is much more higher in quality and originality (that's what they say), he decided to ask us to buy one for him while we were back in my kampung.
And the search for the ring continues!...


Thankfully, the handphone toy which I bought for Iman kept her busy while mum is busy searching for the right ring for Kamal's wedding

Iman is behaving well for sure that day being able to give dad and his camera one of those smiles of hers!


FINALLY! Hopefully Kamal won't find out that I'm posting this photo on the web since it would ruin the surprise for his future wife, Najihah! Haha

An evening in my hometown

Salman was home after his long cruise with MISC. To him, it felt so good to be back home. To be able to meet Mummy and Babah after all this while before he sails off on the next ship until July. For us, it was a bonus to see Salman while visiting mum and dad which we missed most. It was raining cats and dogs in Kota Bharu which Mummy claimed that before we were back, the weather was rather on the contrary. Kitorg bawak rezeki kot! Hehe...


On the other hand, Hakim was also home for the weekend all the way from Pasir Gudang. Fikri and Che Haa also dropped by despite busy with the renovation works of their new office. Fikri is starting a unit trust consultant thingy on his own now and Che Haa is soon launching her firm. ( All the best for both of them! ) Felt good to have everybody around back home. Usually it would take Hari Raya to have all my siblings at home. Danish and Iman were having a blast balik kampung being the fact that they were both pampered as ever by their granma and granpa! We stayed in KB for 3 to 4 days while Honey window shop for Kamal's wedding ring and went back to KL. Can't wait to go back again. Already missed mum and dad!


Me with mum!
We'll be back!
