8th Anniversary

Hello all,


If I don't blog today then it'll be almost 1 year without any blogging for me. Yup! It has been that long since I last blogged. Yesterday was my 8th wedding anniversary and it coincides with Symphony's 8th AGM. Went to the AGM in the morning and came back home after the AGM to celebrate with the wife & kids. I still can't believe that's it has been 8 years.

About this time last year, the durian has already started to fruit and I am as usual are very eager to go back to Batu Pahat. This year it'll be a bit different. Usually, every time the durian tree starts to flower my father in-law will call my wife telling her about it. Then he'll call again when it starts fruiting and ask us to come back to enjoy the durian. I can still remember my duty to collect the durian in the parit and to go around looking for durians. This year in April my father in law left us. Al-Fatihah to my father in law, Sulaiman bin Ser and may his soul rest in peace. He was diagnosed with a severe sepsis with ARDS and on the 1st of April 2010 at 12.30pm he left us forever.

I'm going back to Batu Pahat this weekend and we are supposed to have our kenduri arwah on Monday 7th of June. Might leave the kids there for a week just like last year and I'll be all alone. Just look at their picture, how can leave those beautiful faces for a week? Btw, that picture was taken in Kuantan and that was the last time we all saw my father in law, just a few days before his death. Going to Kuantan was actually my father in law's idea. He wanted all his children and grandchildren to gather at Kuantan. There's a wedding that he wanted all of us to go to. Who would have guessed that it was his last request.
God... there's a lot things to write and I just don't know where to start and how to start. I'm supposed to write about my anniversary but I'm blogging bout something else. Need to sharpen my blogging skill. I'll write again my friend and hopefully it wont take me ages to write it.
