A wonderful one week of my life

On Saturday 12th December, my 2 kids and me woke up really early as we had to catch a 9.30am train to Bukit Mertajam to spend our whole week at Qel's. Bought the ticket all the way to Butterworth actually but we stopped at BM because its nearer to Kulim. It was the kid's first long holiday with me. God has helped us a lot..I was kinda broke actually because this month there was a deduction of RM500++ for my kids insurance and on top of that on the 21st of December which is tomorrow i will have to go for another 5 more radiation treatment. The last radiation didn't get rid of the whole cancer.
My boss En Azli has "sedekah" me RM1,000.00 for my radiation(God bless him always) and Tuan Alwee has given the kids a couple of hundreds for their holiday(Allah blessed him too).Its all Allah's help and i can never thank Him enough. Took 2 weeks leave. First week was to spend my time with kids,Qel & family at Kulim and 2nd week will be one hell of week as i have to go for my treatment daily(Monday to Friday).
Train departed on time (09.30) to Butterworth. The kids were so excited as that was their first ride on a train. But only the first 2 hours..after that they started to get so restless and the question like "Are we there yet" was repeatedly asked. The train ride to Butterworth took us 8 hours. Should have bought the sinaran malam but the night before that i had to bake 100 chocolate muffins for a Christmas party.
So had no choice but to go early in the morning and the morning train has no bed.
At 4.30pm we reached BM.


Qel and his nephew Helmi were already there. They arrived at the train station just 5mins before our train arrived BM. I still had butterflies in my tummy and really felt that i was gonna poop butterflies anytime then and only this time my best friend Nini didn't follow me for this trip to calm me down. And to make double butterflies syndrome in my stomach,this time his mom too will be around. The last trip I came with Nini, there were only Helmi, Qel's dad and him. And it was only over the weekend that Nini and I were there but this time it was one whole week at Qel's house.
Finally at 5.15pm we reached Qel's house. We were greeted by the warmest smile of an elderly couple.(His mom and his dad). Put all our stuff in "our room" and we sat outside with Qel, Helmi and his parents. The kids took awhile to warm up as this is their first time meeting Qel & family.
The first day we rested. The kids slept early but Qel & me spent time together til 4.30am catching up on stuffs.
I am so blessed to be loved by his parents and they accepted me just like their very own daughter. The father (Baba) especially has shown me so much love and wants me to call him Baba instead of "pakcik"(uncle). I felt so overwhelmed by the treatment received from his whole family. We cooked together, laughed and joke alot. His parents are so loving and Helmi was funny too. They are just fun to be with and full of happiness in them. They have the simplest life but because there are so much love in their heart, that what makes them very pleasant to be with,That explained why Qel is such a loving and funny guy. The kids got along well and actually like him a lot.
When Allah sent Qel into my life, I knew things were gonna be so okay. I know that things arent always gonna be smooth but I know he is the right one for me. Spending the whole week at Kulim with him and his parents and nephew has given me the 1001 reasons to even want to spend my remaining life with him. He might not be the richest man on earth when it comes to material and financial but he and his family are the richest people when it comes to love, giving, respect and all the goodness anyone can offer. Not saying this because I am madly in love with him but its the truth and that's the reason why I am so head over heel for him. And i simply fall in love with his parents and nephew too. Just the perfect family....






The kids wanted so much to go to the beach so on Wednesday (5th day) we went to Pantai Bersih. Mom prepared "keropok ikan", bread with butter and jam, and also the fried meehoon i made earlier. Just after Asar prayer, we made a move. The kids were so excited and the joy on their faces can never be bought with any amount of money in the world.





I am so thankful to the Almighty for the most beautiful gift call "Life". No matter what I do and no matter how long i fast and pray, I can never repay Him for the blessing He has bestowed upon me and my kids. Guess it's true, when you are patient with all His test, you will be rewarded with His blessing dunia akhirat.






Finally the time has come for me and the kids to go back to KL. The kids requested that we take a bus instead of a train. They wanted to experience the bus ride instead. Bought a ticket to KL which departed on Friday midnight. Wanted to stay longer but i have to work on Sunday and on top of that Monday 21st, i have my treatment to go to. The bus arrived Pudu at 5am on Saturday and my best friend Nini came to pick us up at Pudu Raya Bus Station. On the way back we stop at Mc D to have our breakfast. We were the only at McD as it was only 6am. Thank you Allah for the trip and the gift called "LIFE".
