(Sung to the tune of “Anak” by Freddy Aguilar)
Ketika kau dilahirkan
Papa & mama menantikan
Kehadiranmu bagai pelangi
Bilaku sentuh jarimu
Hatiku rasa terharu
Terpandang diriku dalam dirimu
Hai Adam ...
Kau menjanjikan kebahagiaan di balik harapan
Kau memberi kekuatan untuk ku hadapi segala dugaan
Hari-hariku berlalu
Tanpa sesal tanpa jemu
Rahmat kurnia dari Ilahi
Ku belai halus rambutmu
Ku peluk erat tubuhmu
Tak terbatas kasihku padamu
Hai Adam ...
Kau menzahirkan rasa cinta yang tak pernah ku rasa
Kau merubah segalanya agar kehidupan ku lebih bermakna
Sebelum engkau dewasa
Mengejar impi dan cita-cita
Jangan kau lupa asal-usulmu
Biarpun kau kan dewasa
Menghadapi pancaroba
Fahamilah erti hidup ini
Hai Adam ...
Ku pasti kan pergi meninggalkan dunia yang fana
Usah sedih usah pilu
Tabahkan hatimu terima segala

Saturday & Sunday - 3rd & 4th April 2010
What's Unsatisfying - Waiting for another 2 weeks to go for a Blood Check at the General Hospital... duhh!!!
What Had To Be Done - I did not have the patience to wait for another 2 weeks. This is no simple matter. It is a matter of the Heart literally. There should be some seriousness there, shouldn't it? The hospital doesn't think so... And so, I went to the Johor Specialist Hospital and made an appointment with the well-known Cardiologist, Dr. Mohd Shahrom Ujang.
What I Went Through - 1st my Blood Sample was taken for a quick Cholesterol and Blood Test. Next, I had to provide a Urine Sample since I was also complaining about my Kidney Stone. Later I went for an Echo ECG.
What Was The Result - My BP came down to 115/80. Great! My cholesterol level went down to 4.2. Even better! But my Urine indicated traces of Blood and Infections. Had to bring back home a Huge Container to collect my 24-hour Urine Sample for the whole of Sunday until Monday Morning.
What's Next - I was asked by Dr. Shahrom to come again to his Clinic on Monday Morning. Apart from returning the 24-hour Urine Sample, they want to put a Holter Monitor on me for another 24 hours. A Holter Monitor is a portable device for continuously monitoring various electrical activity of the central nervous system for at least 24 hours. It is often used to monitor any abnormal Cardiac Activities in one's body. And the doctor went at length at even suggesting me to undergo an Angiogram Test, which would definitely cost me a bomb. That, I have to wait and check with my company's Insurance Coverage before I could say yes to all their recommendations and suggestions.
What's In My Mind - Serves me right for not looking after health much earlier during my younger and fitter days. I am now serving the sentence due to my own negligence. I pray to God continuously so that there will be a light down the tunnel that I am heading. Hopefully, there is a way, a cure to all the sickening symptoms that are consistently bothering me. Ya Allah... do look after me and give me the strength to overcome all the challenges in life.

Thursday & Friday - 1st & 2nd April 2010
What Used To Be Relevant - APRIL FOOLS DAY! Back when we were in our Schooling Days, we used to highly anticipate the arrival of the April Fool's Day. All sorts of funny tricks were already up on our sleeves waiting for the right moment to execute them, one by one... shoelaces, toothpastes, hidden items were the usual elements that made up all the fun that came along with the momentous occasion. We never really quite understood why the Older Folks were so mad at us when we played little tricks on them. To us, kids, nothing beats the crap out of watching other people suffer or humiliated (albeit in a very humoristic way). However, as we grew much older, and much wiser too, we realized that slowly and steadily we became closer to like being one of the Older Folks we used to despise and complain about. We too look at kids rather differently nowadays. But, I guess, times have changed so much that my 6-year old son no longer fancies an April Fool's Day. Heck, he doesn't even know if such day exists on the Calendar. After all, what are simple little tricks compared to the wonderful world of Internet Games and Computers? Gone are the days when our lives were so much simpler then...
What's Shocking - What was meant to be just an ordinary check up with the GP to complain about the incessant pain on my right thigh turned out to be a turning point in my whole spectrum of life. I had to inform the GP what I have been going through all these while i.e the Chest Pains, the inconsistently High BP, and the history of high cholesterol level in my body. When the GP found out that my BP when up again to 150/90, she quickly assigned me for an ECG examination. The results of which indicated that there could be a potentially hazardous circumstance underlying in my blood. I was diagnosed by the GP as suffering from a potential Ischemia or in much simpler terms, potential heart blockage. I was astonished as none of the previous ECG's ever indicated such a threat. The doctor set me up with an appointment for a Blood Test and gave me a medicine to reduce the potential blood clot. However, the next appointment is in 2 weeks time. 2 weeks time??? That's government hospitals for you...
What's Depressingly Heart-breaking - After such news, I have been closely observing my son. He used to be so close with his mom. But as he grew older, he has become much closer to me. He would sleep on my thigh at night. He would want me to bathe him and play with him. He would be the Head of a Lion and I would be the tail. We would be dancing to our own rhythmic nuances like as though we were tranced in an exotic competition of Lion Dancing. It saddens me each time I think of what might happen and what would they do... Ya Allah. If you're listening, please consider that I am not asking for much. I am not asking for much richness and wealth. All I am asking for is the chance to LIVE long enough to see my son grow into a sensible young man, able to take good care of himself, and his mom, when I'm gone...
