Log 23rd October 2013 at 5.55pm. Yesterday was my 53rd birthday and no celebration all as there is no reason to. Yes , to some people , birthday is important to them where ther will annouced it and expect other to wish them . In my opinion , at this twilight years , everyday and every moment should be celebrated and it odesnt matters whether alone or with the love ones. I receive 4 birthday wishes from my wife, son, my nephew Alfian Azam and his mom Roziah. That is sufficient for me , no present and no special occasion to mark the date.
Early this morning , minutes before I completed my night shift since 7pm yesterday , I chat with my Supervisor who will be receiving another 17 times of monthly salary , before retiring......and me exactly 84 times - god willing. Another 36 months ahead , my repayment for my housing loan will be completed and beyond that , the deductionin my pay monthly pay statement is my Income Tax. Even today, my income tax deduction is just over RM700/- a month, more than my Proton Preve CFE car instalment which is slightly above RM600/-.
Well, that's life , last night as I went thru the office computers , I came across a folder containing photos of my ex Boss , the late Hj Ghazali Said who pass away , soon as he retired due to prostrate cancer and stroke. He was a friend and later became my Boss when I was assigned to be Penang DCA Branch Manager. As a long time friend, we use to pool cars from Desa Jaya Kepong to Subang via the old Sungai Buloh Road.He uses a Mitsubishi Lancer 1980 and me , driving a Mitsubishi Sigma .Another close friend was the late Vausu Dev Varma , a Ceylonese who drive a Toyota DX. Another Air Traffic Controller wo joins us was the late Mr Terrence - a neighbour to Hj Ghazali. Such a memory travelling together to/fro office and home for many years , sharing stories , experince and life and now, all of them had departed earlier to meetup with the creator . Allah bless and be passionate to them all.
53 years old and with an injured spine. I take my life carefully , watch my steps every where I go. I ve known my wife 31 years , married for 29 years and the only real friend I have. We prefer to be together in private as we come to realise that , the time may not be too long. Rather than hanging out with friends and wasting this precious life , it best to spend with family members ......
