Happy Mother's Day

I know that I said that I want to stop blogging for a while until my exam is over but I can make a few exceptions for a special day like today. 38 years ago on this day, if not because of the infamous racial riot, my mum and dad would have gotten married then. But, they ended up getting married exactly a month after that. And exactly 2 years and 4 days later, my mum became a mother when my brother was born. And in July 1998, my mum became a mother-in-law when my brother married my sister-in-law. Unfortunately, she did not get the chance to see the birth of her first grandson, her daughter’s wedding, and her first granddaughter when she passed away in May 1999. Therefore, on today’s Mother’s Day, I want to pay tribute to her for being the best mom in the world. I miss her terribly at times but I know there is nothing else I can do except keep on praying for her. If only she was standing next to me right now, I would hug her and say, “Happy Mother’s Day” but since she is not, I’m just going to say, “Al-Fatihah.”

I would also like to wish Happy Mother’s Day to other important people in my life. They are my sister, Hazleen Ahmad who became a mother in November 2003, and my sister-in-law, Siti Salbiah Junai who became a mother in October 2000.

And of course, Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers out there! I’ll leave you with this beautiful song about mother.

Hi Adam, I tried to look for an email add to write to you but could not find one, so I resorted to posting a comment. I used to go to school with your sister, Hazleen and have been trying to locate her for what seems likes ages now. I used to live near your house in Taman Gombak (I don't know if your guys still live there) and went to school with Hazleen. I used to hang out at your house after school almost every day, eating rice, fried egg and kicap. I havent seen her since we left school, can you help me find Hazleen,my email add is janiceanne@shooklin.com.my. Thanks so much, and good luck with the finals, mate.

More on Angkara Cinta

Yes, I think I am becoming obsessed with this Malay Drama show. I always look forward to watching the show every day. The irony of Angkara Cinta is despite the title of the show, it is not a love story at all. At least not to me. Sure, the are several love stories in the show such as Luqman and Adira, Haqeem and Adira, Haqeem and Jijie, and Luqman and Adira again, but these love stories are just in the background and do not form the major part of the storyline. The reason I say this is because if you take away these love stories, Angkara Cinta would still stand on its own. We would still be able to see the struggle of Luqman and Haqeem, as well as, Indah and Mariani in dealing with the situations that they are in. And to me, that's what makes Angkara Cinta great and stand out relative to other Malay Drama on the television nowadays. The show also highlighted several mental health issues that are not talked about in Malaysia generally, and the Malay community specially. Malays, for

Rise and Fall of a Government

Many detractors of Tun Dr Mahathir blamed him for causing the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in February 2020. They blamed him for quitting his position for no apparent reasons whatsoever. To be honest, none of us (save for a select few) really know what had happened behind the curtains and behind Tun's thick skull. As long as we are not Tun himself or those select few, we are all merely speculating at best. To me, I just want to focus on what Tun had said publicly because those are on record and no one can really dispute them. Tun had repeatedly said that he had resigned because he no longer had the support of the parliament as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu). Two things here, mathematically, what Tun said about the his support from the parliament is true. Secondly, this was what Tun had said, what really went behind the scene was really up to anyone's guess. For one moment, let us just take Tun's words at their face value. The moment Tun felt that he

2011 That is Almost Over

In just one more day, 2011 will draw its final curtain. And looking back over the last twelve months made me realized how far have I come this year. 2011 has always been a very personal year to me, especially since I have started to plan for my engagement ceremony since July 2010 (Yes, that's how long I've been planning my wedding). I guess the highlight of the year began with significant change in my work. It was in March 2011 where I was finally given the opportunity to cover the Airline sector after lobbying for it since I joined the department in February 2009. I'm not saying the Consumer sector was not fun, but the Airline sector has always been a dear to me since I joined the company. But I guess, the Airline sector proved to be a lot tougher to cover than I expected. I had anticipated cyclical earnings and high risk from jet fuel price volatility but, MAS gave a whole different challenge to my skills as an analyst. The next highlight for the year was my engagement ce
