Thailand - Trip Down By The Seaside...

"Smell the sea, and feel the sky, let your soul and spirit fly..." - Van Morrison

(Ao Nang Beach, Krabi)

(05 - 11 April 2017)

Down by the seaside. See the boats go sailin' 
Can the people hear, What the little fish are sayin' 

Sing loud for the sunshine, pray hard for the rain 
And show your love for Lady Nature. And she will come back again

Home Is Where The Heart Is...

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things..." - Robert Brault

(Our Putramas Apartment)

"Home Is Where The Heart Is"

I've always lived my life like a gypsy 
I can't imagine myself settlin' down 
So please don't ask me to give up this life I lead 
'Cause I love to feel those wheels go 'round and 'round

I can see it inside 
It's my heart that sees, not my eyes 
And if you listen close I'll tell you why 
Home is where the heart is 
And my heart is at home with you

There's a cold wind blowin' and you know it's almost midnight 
You never dreamed it would be this hard lovin' a music man 
But this iron horse on which I ride I'm closer it's true 
And it's just as hard for me as it is for you

In my life I'm always on the run 
Livin' one day at a time 
Hold on a little longer 
I don't know where I'm gonna end up 
Or where I'll go

(Lynyrd Skynyrd)

Missing our beloved...

"Sometimes it takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value presence..."

(My emak and abah, side by side)
(My youngest son, Mirza Ashran)

There's really no shortcut 
to forgetting someone
You just have to endure 
missing them everyday
Until you don't anymore..

Al-fatihah...

Severe Spinal Pain: Sympathy with the Devil...

"The answer lies within ourselves. If we can't find peace and happiness there, it's not going to come from the outside..." - Tenzin Palmo

(Visiting the Spine Specialist)

I was strong and healthy when I was in Madinah and Makkah. The weather was cool throughout our stay there.

The last day in Makkah and on the way to Jeddah Airport for our flight back to KL, we were hit by a bad sand storm. When we reached KLIA I started experiencing a very bad sore throat and started having dry cough. The last time I had cough and flu, it lasted for almost three weeks.

Besides the whooping cough, I had a bad lower back pain. After the MRI procedure, my Spine Specialist diagnosed nerves impingement at my 4th and 5th lumbar. I was asked to go for a round of physiotherapy and to do routine daily exercises. To ease the pain I was prescribed with nerve relaxant, pain killers, vitamins and hot gel rub.  

After two days of consuming the loads of medications, I became nauseated with constant vomiting and purging. I was dead flat and miserable. After consulting my Doctor, he advised me to stop all medication immediately because of the severe counter-indications.

I am now back to square one...
