Just got back from an aerobic session @ Kiara Park.. Wow I didn't know that so many people would wanna get up early on a sunday morning to sweat.. The crowd turnout was great.. And it actually makes the whole session more exciting.
People from different range of age, male and female were all stepping in tune with the upbeat song, clapping, and smiling... It really makes me feel good to be living in such a harmonious environment.
Earlier, before the aerobic session, I went for a walk on the jogging trail. I was so fortunate to be walking with a set of twin boys, around 5 years of age, that really made me smile all the way round the park. They were following their dad, who were walking at a very slow pace behind us. These two kids were very energetic that they can even run faster than me (malu nyaaa...). The thing that caught my attention is how close they were...
Boy 1: (after running ahead 50m from the brother) Nigel, hurry up..
Boy 2: I'm tired, Nicholas... hold my hand (reaching out his hand to the brother)
Boy 1: (ran back to the brother and reached for his hand) ok... now let's run..
Boy 2: Do we have to...? (panting)
Boy 1: We must.. It is the "Amazing Race" teng teng teng...
Boy 2: Ok.. if you insist.. but don't let go of my hand yeah...
Boy 1: of course I won't.. Dun worry Nigel..
Isn't that sweet. I mean, you'll never see grown up males holding each other's hands kan... Small kids are so innocent and pure. They'll encourage each other, and even stop and retrack their steps to help the other out. When is the last time you see a grown up male do that? They only thing they do is crack jokes at the expense of the weaker guy.. Am I right?
====================
Finally met the "Miracle Baby" yesterday.
My cousin, Long, came over yesterday. She had given birth to a premature baby boy before raya last year (Nov'04). Ahmad Shakir bin Suhaimi was born 3 months earlier than scheduled. Doctors were saying that he only had a slim chance to survive, giving the fact that all his internal organs are not fully developed.
Long is a very tough woman. She had found out that she had breast cancer at the early age of 18. Hence, she had undergone numerous treatments for her cancer without giving up. Even though she's a bit stubborn to follow all the doctor's instructions, she's lucky to have a very understanding and patient boyfriend (now husband) to support and encourage her throughout the painful ordeal.
Hence, the baby actually took after his mother. He's a fighter in the sense that he didn't give in to all the complications that he had faced during his 1st 3 months into the world. Even the doctors were surprised to see the baby bounced back to life frm a 36 hrs comma, when they have instructed my cousin to ask everyone to start reciting the yassin for the baby. A miracle wonder he is...
Thus, after 5 months going to and fro to the hospital in Kota Bahru, the mother and son finally came back to KL. And yesterday was the 1st time I set my eyes on Ahmad Syakir... and he's very very adorable.. Seeing him giggling makes all the pain and suffering that Long had endured during the pregnancy all worthwhile..
====================
After an unproductive day yesterday, I am now all set to tackle some unfinished business. There's the tax form to fill up, zakat pendapatan to calculate, and also own expense accounts to refine.. On top of that, I need to get the car washed, clean up the messy room and also do some bill filing...
Enjoy the rest of your weekend... *winks*
binx: Right 1, 2, 3, 4.. Left 1, 2, 3, 4...
