Tribute to Hers- The mother to Our Baby Boy

Today I went to register Danial's Birth Certificate

I wrote his name for the very first time

First time and many more to come insya allah

I would love to thank my wife

She has been feeding Danial since day one and constantly caring for him and making sure he is clean and all

Hers, you are truly an amazing wife and mother

I am blessed and I am grateful

I love you as my best friend

I love you as my wife

I love you as the mother to our child

I know I never say enough of this

I love and care for you always

V-Day Specials

I have blogging-itis. On a roll and the last post for today.

As mentioned before I wanted to do an entry on V-Day.

Overratted day and every year on 14th Feb everything related to 'L.O.V.E' is over priced.

14th February is a 'business strategy', a 'commercial exploit' of 'L.O.V.E'. Hotels and restaurants offer package deals and for what?

People pay for the 'romantic' experience but I bet you the most romantic experience one can create would be a home cook dinner and the privacy. Not that I have done this before but I am sure if the way to a husband's heart is the wifey's cooking, it should work the other way around as well.

I remember reading an interview with our principal for our newletter and he said that V-Day is Commercial love. You buy a rose which on a normal day would cost only $1.50 and then on V-Day it would cost $5. Shop owners theme song would be 'Show me the Mooneyyy' by Poetic Ammo.

It is not a crime to exploit V-Day because it is a win-win situation. It is on that day that 'shy' people become brave and confident to express their true feelings to their 'secret love'. With a rose in your hand you have the power to melt any girls heart.

Back in my MD years, V-Day meant that I had to save my pocket money so I could spend it on the girl I fancied. Flowers and chocolates just for her. Those were the days.

I remembered when I was still in the 'dating' phase I received a V-Day card from my future wife. I spent a chunk of my allowance on buying her a really nice card and something else which I do not remember. She gave me my one and only card and that was special to me. We didn't really celebrate it but it was just for the fun of it.

Interlude: You might want to check out vh1.com for the 40 Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs before you plan to make a compilation CD of Love songs for the 'Special One'.

Last Friday's sermon made it clear that is it not part of our religion and therefore we should not associate ourselves with it.

I leave you with this poem I wrote back when I was in MD. I wrote it for a girl I fancied and I thought maybe if you do celebrate V-Day, this might come in handy. But please ask before you copy it. Thank You.

SiRT - The Poet presents

Love is in the air - 5th February 1998

If you feel all alone,

Don't just sigh and moan,

Just call out my name,

And the emptiness will be gone.

If you feel insecure,

I will find you the cure,

Just give me the key,

Which leads to your heart,

And I will set you free.

If you feel that love hurts,

Just relax and be calm,

Because 'Today' in the day,

When love is in the air.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Another milestone + Thank you 'Hers'

Doing a Mr RezaFaizal post on Soulkoneshen.blogspot.com

On Saturday I only managed to do a 6.5 km run after 60 mins and finished at 6.8 km after 5 mins cooldown. My knees gave in at the 45th min mark and only finished my session with a 5.0 walk till the 60th minute.

Today I did not know what got to me and the above picture was the result after 65 mins which included a 5 min cool down.

I reached the 7 km mark at the 57th minute mark at a speed of 8.2

I stared with a 5 min walk at 5.0

At 5 to 20 mins at 8.2

21th min ran at 7.0 - 22 to 25th min walked at 5.0

At 25 - 40 mins ran at 8.2

41th min ran at 7.0 - 42-45th min walked at 5.0

At 45th - 47th min ran at 7.5

At 47 - 60th min ran at 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I also had the pleasure of introducing myself to Mr RezaFaizal. I did not really get a chance to see how his run went but I tell you he is a dedicated runner and very focused. Maybe I could pick up a few pointers about running from the man himself the next time I see him.

Today also my knee did not give in as I was afraid that it would and I am thankful. I dedicated my run today to my wife to be. There was a small family gathering on her side at her grandparent's crib today for lunch and I actually did not want to attend as I did not want to eat lunch and just head to the gym.

Not that I am totally neglecting food but we had a dim sum brunch at Emperor's Court with our close friends and I was already full.

She insisted I come to the small 'makan' and allowed me to go to the gym after that. She was so supportive and said to take as much time as I wanted to spend. I only helped myself to a small portion of vegetables and water and I went to the gym.

I would like to thank 'Hers' for her support and understanding
for allowing me to go to the gym and finishing rather late to pick her up from
her grandparent's crib. I am sorry and I love thee with al my heart. Trust me
this will all be worth it in the long run.

I feel great each day and each day I will always try to better
myself.

Its Your Day - Six One Double 'O' Seven

Its that time of the year when a certain special someone grows a year older and a year wiser.

She is my inspiration, my motivation, my best friend, my future wife.

This year's celebration is very low key because we are preparing for our wedding and all so all costs considered we might have a major celebration next year. The most important thing is we have each other.

I remember the 'Double Whamy Birthday Celebration' that I fiendishly souped up for her last year. It was the best, at least I thought it was. I surprised her on her birthday and the day after her birthday. If you wish to know more, here is the link to the post on my 'former' blog.

I would like to dedicate this song to her [p.s: I can't be bothered to link up the song so the lyrics will do]

Endless Love

My love

There's only you in my life

The only thing that's right

My first love

You're every breath that I take

You're every step I make

And I

I want to share

All my love with you

No-one else will do

And your eyes

They tell me how much you care

You will always be

My endless love

Two hearts

Two hearts that beat as one

Our lives have just begun

And forever

I'll hold you close in my arms

I can't resist your charms

And I

I'd be a fool

For you,

I'm sure

You know I don't mind

Cause baby you

You mean the world to me,

I know

I've found in you

My endless love
