Key Point #1: How much have you done to make your parents happy?

in the name of Allah The Most Beneficent The Most Merciful

As salam and Good Morning bloggers!

Yesterday was really worth spending. Well, the time that you spend with your family is indeed invaluable. It has been quite a hectic week for me previously because I need to expedite the containment and reworked process just so all the stranded units for delivery can be delivered to customers soonest. 

Giving the responsibility to rectify all the damages done due to improper process control, it really takes alot from me. Not that I'm complaining because I need to do all those dirty works too like the operators but because I am not that fit and athletic, and before long after I had my shower, prayer and dinner I could easily fall asleep within 5 secs! Thus, has changed my routine entirely. I even started to feel like I have becoming a zombie. Going to work without even thinking and planning properly the whole day.

However, I am not planning to let myself trap in this loop forever. Definitely. It is going to last the most up to two weeks only. (Well, there is another unit to be rectified too!).

Okay, back to the main point of existence of this entry, for every minutes spent yesterday got me thinking and made me asking myself about life that I am living now.

Key Point #1: How much have you done to make your parents happy?

Yesterday I was not going back to my parents house. I was going back to my kampung (village) together with my best-estfriend because we're going to have sorta small eat-together ( that is what my mom said previously) with the whole big family. Not only siblings from my mom's side. But also including my grandma's brothers' families.

And apparently, it wasn't actually small. It was a sort of Kenduri Doa Selamat, Yassin & Tahlil where you also called your neighbours and we had about in total almost a hundred guests! (excluding the kids, mind you)

 Inaccurate info ma.. *geleng kepala.

Okay, so after the lunch ended, all of us were having our own sweet time resting ourselves wherever applicable around the house. I was siting in front of the tv watching something that I was not actually paying any attention of when suddenly I realized that my dad was sleeping soundly not so near besides me.

I was looking at him for about one or two minutes, busy scrutinizing his greyish-turned-to-white hair and finely visible wrinkles around his eyes and cheeks, then something came out of my mind.

"How old is abah now?..erm...50 something? nearly a pensioner for few more years..".., I thought.

And I came to realization that how fast time flies..

"How long have I been working now..?..2 years..and what did I do to repay him and mak back?...", My expression turned a bit sour.

When the second question struck me, I was totally speechless..

Apart from still being financially unstable, I was not also able to give them my time..up until now..


I only had 10 solid years  living with them while the rest of 16 years were incomplete because there were times where I had to live apart from them. 

When I was still studying, I thought that I could repay them back by spending my time with them, do everything they asked me to, providing them things that I should as a child.

But after graduating, I still find it hard to be there with them as I planned earlier.

And what makes my heart breaks is that I still haven't done anything significant to repay them back while they're still giving me the same care, time, unconditional love, timeless advice and wisdom as parents.

Then I realized that this coming Ramadhan might be the last Ramadhan for us..

 So today, I decided to really change my routine and try to spend as much time available with them. Because apparently, each secs left is irreplaceable and I might not have much time left with them anymore..
