Kesibukan & ujian Allah padaku

The last 2 weeks (16-29 May 2011) has really been a very hectic schedule for me.

I am really busy with meetings on a back-to-back timing.

2 of my staff (one meternity), another on long medical leave making the unit a bit stretched. I thank the rest of the team for holding the fort.
I did tell them that we all need to be mentally and spiritually strong especially facing the "sergeant". We must also be ready to answer his questions.
But, if he is really in a bad mood, then just keep quiet, no point arguing with a person on fire..

But with laptop (technology) and sheer determination, I found myself to be facing this problems with little trouble..

On 21 May, my mother was diagnose with cancer and was confirmed terminally ill. That really shocked me!

But after looking at the bigger picture, inilah kepercayaan kita kepada Qada' & Qadar Allah. Teruskan berusaha & selebihnya kita berserah kepada Allah yg Maha Besar.

I have come to terms with my mother's condition. Me, my brother & sisters as well as wife & daughters will make the most of whatever time left with her.
We will cherish these moments and we want to make her as comfortable & happy as possible.

Kepada Allah kita pasti kembali & doa kita agar dikembalikan dalam keadaan yg baik. Amin...

MU won 19th League title

I am writing about MU season for 2010/11.

This season MU won the English Premier League for a record 19th time, surpassing Liverpool for the 1st time ever. That, to me is a very proud achievement indeed.

Arsenal came third with 13 titles.Everton 9, Aston Villa 7 and Sunderland 6. Liverpool last won it in 1990, Arsenal in 2004, Everton 1987, Aston Villa 1981 and Sunderland 1936.

Other previous winners are 4 titles for Chelsea, Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle United.

3 titles won by Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers, Wolverhamton Wanderers and Huddesfield Town.

2 titles won by Derby County, Man City, Spurs, Burnley, Portsmouth and Preston NE.

1 each for Forest, Ipswich Town, WBA and Sheffield United.

There are only 23 teams that have won it and the latest team to have won is Nottingham Forest in 1978 under the late Brian Clough.

So tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson for his phenomenal achievement in winning the Premiership, an achievement that will most likely stand the test of time.

Man City won the FA Cup, making a double achievement for the City of Manchester. Man City also qualified for the Champions League slot. They are a succesful team this season.

The League Cup was won by Birmingham City, but they were also relegated. I do not consider Brum as successful this season.

MU also qualified for the Champions League Final, losing to Barca 3-1. Well, Barca is a great team and having reached the Finals is very good for MU this season.

Nani impressed me the most this season. Hernandez is a suprise. But the really hero for Man U is... Nemanja Vidic (the captain). He is really the strenght to MU this season.

So, looking forward to next August and I am really2 happy for MU this season.

Thanks for the entertainment.

MU on the way to winning 19th League title

I watched the match they called "Super Sunday" between MU and Chelsea on Astro last night. What a match it was!

MU is on the way to break Liverpool's record of winning 18 League title. The last time Liverpool won the League title was in 1990. At that time MU won only 7 League titles and it will take maybe 100 years to break Liverpool's impressive record.

But 21 years down the road, Sir Alex Furgeson has really achieved something that even Bob Paisley did not achieve in Liverpool. MU won 11 League titles from 1993 until 2009. Only Blackburn, Arsenal and Chelsea broke the sequence. If not, MU would have won it every year!!

There is another 2 more games left, with ONE point to be collected to be crowned as the RECORD 19th League Champions

Congratulations Manchester United!!

MU lost to Arsenal

Assalamualaikum,

Here again I am writing about "hating Arsenal" rather than "supporting MU"


On 1 May 2011, Arsenal beat MU 1-0 and I felt very sad. Actually I need not be sad as MU is still top of the heap (3 points clear) with 3 games to go. They are also leading Shalke (2-0) in the Champions League with the return league at Old Trafford on 4 May 2011.

People talk about history, that MU has a bad record against German teams in Champions League. People also talk about MU having good record against Arsenal at the Emirates. All these talk about past records is just history. We know that it is the match day that is important and past record does not count.

Back to the defeat by Arsenal.. I felt that this game is so important to show Mr Arse Wenger that MU is superior than Arsenal. That game really showed that I am a "Arsenal hater" more than "MU supporter". I just love to see Mr Wenger angry!

I am writing to remind myself that, I must erase this feeling.

Anyway, MU will need to bounce back from the defeat. The defeat will make MU more determined. The next 2 games at home (Shalke & Chelsea) will determine the outcome of this season. I am very confident that MU can win both the games in style.

Thanks

Minggu ini - 23-29 Apr 2011

Sedikit catatan yang keluar dari fikiran saya secara spontan.

Minggu ini, majikan saya beri laptop menggantikan desktop yg telah saya guna sejak tahun 2002. Dengan laptop ini, saya menjadi lebih "mobile" dan boleh melaksanakan kerja dengan lebih berkesan (insyaallah)

Minggu ini juga saya "submit" income tax return...

Minggu ini juga saya bawa ibu saya ke hospital swasta. Selalunya saya bawa ibu ke hospital kerajaan saja, tapi setelah mengambil kira masa & faktor kesihatan ibu yang semakin lemah, saya decided to bring her to private klinik. Saya akan menjaga ibu sebaik mungkin, dan saya bersyukur diberi peluang oleh Allah untuk menjaga beliau yang kini berusia 76 tahun.

Saya juga sangat2 bersyukur kpd Allah kerana saya juga dapat meluangkan masa bersama-sama isteri & 4 orang anak perempuan. Kesempatan ini saya ambil untuk menasihati mereka bahwa sentiasa jangan lupa akan "Allah" walau dimana saja mereka berada & pada setiap masa.

Anak kedua saya dapat penghargaan dari SMK(P) Sri Aman kerana berjaya mendapat 8A dalam PMR tahun lepas - Alhamdulillah

Minggu ini juga, saya "pulun" belajar bahasa Arab saya terutamanya bab fi'il dan isim. Saya harap saya boleh maintain this momentum.

Minggu ini, ada insan buat sumpah laknat, menunjukkan bahwa beliau benar dalam satu hal. Kita sama2 serahkan perkara ini kpd Allah. Dia Maha Mengetahui...

Minggu ini, jiran saya (Mak Midah), balu kpd Allahyarham Tan Sri Basir, buat kenduri. Ramai yg hadir, dan jemputan khas ialah Al-Fadil Ustaz Harun Din.
Masyaallah, tazkirah yg diberi sangat berkesan, dan muka beliau.. sungguh bersih & bercahaya. Dari pancaran muka beliau saja boleh dilihat ketenangan & keimanan.

Sesungguhnya dengan mengingati Allah sahajalah, hati menjadi tenang.

Ya Allah.. syukurku padaMu menjadikan hidup ini sungguh indah sekali...
