Very sad morning

:(
This morning at about 5.45am my father woke me up and told me that my auntie's husband is going to pass away very soon. We left our house after that to head to University Hospital to visit the patient. Before this, I have visited the patient for a few times for the last 4 months and he was unconscious all the time. This was caused by the heart attacked. The blood did not reached the brain for more than 45 minutes during the attack. This caused the brain to damage. For 4 months he could not do anything except lying on the bed and the food was supplied through his nose.

Ok, when I reached the hospital, I met my cousins and my uncle and had some chat. It was at the emergency place. Then I had a peep with my father at the emergency room of my auntie's husband. He was struggling to breathe and he looked as if he was suffering. That time it was expected 1 hour before he going to pass away. After that my father was discussing with his nephew about the preparation of the place of burial. I was waiting for quite a while and then decided to go to the lavatory. After I returned to the place where everybody were gathered, there were no one there. I quickly rushed to the emergency room and saw many people at my auntie's husband side. He was critically ill and looks very exhausted and about to die. The computer monitor showed many red sign all over the screen and a nonstop beeping sound was heard rapidly. There was a nurse and a doctor observing the patient. All my relatives were saying their prayers and suddenly I saw his breathing stopped. I saw on computer monitor, instead of numbers on it, it replaced by a dash, -- and a straight line was seen to show there was no heartbeat. But my relatives still saying their prayers. I think my auntie's husband died peacefully without any problems. Then the doctors officially told the family that he is gone. The maid who took care of him was crying terribly. I felt sad for the family but I forgot to wish condolence to them.

I felt very sad but it makes me realize that the world is only temporary. You can be rich, beautiful, smart, greedy, arrogant, famous or powerful but in the end you will end up buried in the soil and as the wind blows, you will be forgotten. Some people might want to quarrel all the time, hurt peoples feelings and cheat others but they forgot that they will end up being buried in the graveyard just like everyone else. So it is better for us not to be greedy and arrogant to others because in the end we will loose everything when we die.

Ok, I think I'm going to study now. Sorry if my story is sad.. I will post happy story next time!

ps. I will check my english error later.. If there is..

Hari Raya Traffic Jam

Hello,
Last Friday I went back to Kota Bharu with my family for Hari Raya. We were expecting for a terrible traffic jam because most of the people were going back to their hometown on the same day. We went off from our house at 7.30am and packed some food in case we arrived after buka puasa. Last time we already experienced arriving after buka puasa and we couldn't stop anywhere to get some food because there were too many cars stopping. The petrol stations were crowded and we also could not go to any restaurant that time. Luckily we got some biscuits. So this time we brought some food so that we don't have trouble if we stuck in a traffic jam.

At first the traffic were moving smoothly on the highway. Then when we moved to the two lanes road, the traffic became a bit slower due to many cars on the road. It was a one way traffic because most of the cars are heading North. Then before reaching Raub, its started to jam. We expected to arrive in KB at 1.00am in the morning like last time we went to KB during hari raya. Then there were alot of cars overtaking illegally from the left and right. It became two lanes heading the same way after that. I didn't know why alot of people wanted to break the law and made the jam even worse on the fasting month. We should be more patient during this month and don't make other people angry. I think God will be very angry to these people. We were very angry to these people and we were stuck in a traffic jam for one and a half hours. In the end, the traffic jam was caused by the policewomen and policemen. When we arrived Raub, there were a group of policewomen in front of the police station distributing goodies in conjunction with hari raya. My father was very angry for causing big jam but we all couldn't stop laughing at their stupidity. The 40km of traffic jam was caused by the police! They tried to do good deeds but at the wrong time. I felt very sad for the police. I think other cars were cursing to the police because they had wasted their time. Inside the goody bag there was mineral water, sweets, dates, stickers and maps showing the alternative roads. After that, the traffic were moving smoothly. The incident really made our day because it was too funny. During the whole journey, of course there was a few traffic jam because of the traffic light but the jam was not as bad as the jam we had at Raub. We arrived at 5.30pm and it took 10 hours to reached to Kota Bharu. Usually it only takes 7 hours from KL to KB. Here are some pictures that I want to show.

went back to KB

Yesterday I had just return from my father's hometown. Actually I went there almost every weekend. I have nothing to do so I took picture with the kids there. They didn't go to school that day because it was Saturday morning. I had alot of fun spending time in Kelantan. I planned to stay there longer next time after I finished my SPM and go for adventure there. My uncle said he is going to drive me and my sister to Thailand and see more interesting places. I can't wait to go there. Maybe we will go drive up to Phuket! We could also save money from buying air tickets. But its sure going to be tiring. Last weekend we just went to Thai border, Rantau Panjang to buy some junks. Its my auntie's favourite place to shop because it has alot of junks. It is a popular place because it has alot of stuff which are fake. All I bought there is only cashew nuts and it taste good. I went to Ramadhan Market near my house in Kelantan and there are alot of variety of food. I would say the Ramadhan Market in Kelantan is better than what we have in Selangor and it is cheap too. The people who are selling there are polite too compared to people here who some are very snobbish. But maybe some people don't like the food there because their taste of food does not match the Kelantan food.

These pictures are taken just for fun to show what I did last weekend. I went to a jetty that kept alot of Vietnamese fisherman boat that have been captured. I don't know why it was being captured by the police. But I don't think the boat which I am standing on in the picture is the Vietnamese boat. I also took a picture with a Buddha statue under construction at a temple on the way back from Rantau Panjang. Actually its not me who wants to go there but my sister wants to go there because she saw a big Buddha statue from far. OK, I have nothing to say now. Maybe I'm going to study. Talk to you soon.

Bridge across the creek that was built by my grandfather last time so that people can get across to their house and graveyard. He gave some of his own land to make roads to the public so that people can use it. He made the bridge small so that it is not being used by heavy vehicles.

I thought it would be cool to take pictures on an old boat.

I met this dog at the temple.

Riding makes me hungry during this fasting month.

I spent my time there riding horse in the morning and evening.
