So another December, another birthday. Today , I sat back , consolidated my life and counted my blessings.

Syukur alhamdulillah ! Whatever He has given me ---is more than I bargained for!

I took stock of my life and tried to list down the blessings He has bestowed on this mere mortal though not in chronological , priority or favorites order :-

I had been blessed with:

• With such wonderful and loving parents

• Wonderful siblings

• Specifically my second sister who has sacrificed so much for me

• A healthy and meaningful life

• Three wonderful and loving children (my pride and joy) of my own

• Given the opportunity and experience to study and stay a while in the United Kingdom fully sponsored my second sister with no help from any organization or Government which was no mean feat at that time.

• The opportunity to ‘go round the world’ and see whats on the other side like.

• A reasonably successful career

• Survived a massive heart attack when I was only 49 years old

• The successes of my children :-
• My son – his successful career in South Africa and Switzerland as a Touring Car and F1 engineer, present posting and lots more to come
• My first daughter for graduating in Malaysia’s top university as a medical Doctor
• My youngest daughter who is on the way to graduate as a lawyer (Insyallah) from the same top University.

There are more---but suffice with these !

Yessirree --- I am indeed blessed . Regrets ? I would be lying if I say I don’t have any. But if you stacked them against all the above , they are so negligible and insignificant. No—I wouldn’t trade anything for my children

It didn't come easy !.

Thank you God -- for your patience, love, mercy and blessings !
