the royal lake club

MEMORIES OF THE ROYAL LAKE CLUB WAS TRIGGERED WHEN MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, tuan hj.AZAM,EXPLAINED THAT ALLAH TEST US TO REMOVE OUR SINS,MAShAALLAH,as i have lots of time to reflect on my life,and am at deaths door in years,maybe days,hours,minutes. my biggest regret was centered upon the royal lake club .it all began when i was employed by lorrain esme osman (LEO)to be the deputy general manager in his company serply sdn. bhd.,being an understudy to an aging leftover expatriate ,a gentleman called don mclellan both of us knew very well that i was to takeover from don as the general manger,only question being when. in spite of that ,we had a great relationship and he almost daily dragged me to both his drinking locale,the THIRD FLOOR LUNCH CLUB(TFLC) AT KATHYS PUB IN WISMA STEPHEN AND THE ROYAL LAKE CLUB IN LAKE GARDENS KUALA LUMPUR. I WAS WEAK AND COULD NOT RESIST THE TEMPTATION AND SOON,I WAS A REGULAR MEMBER AT BOTH OUTLETS AND FREQUENTED BOTH DAILY AND MADE LOTS OF ACQUAINTANCE AND DEVELOPED FRIENDSHIPS WITH MANY IN MY INDUSTRY,THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IT WAS DRINKING, TALKING AND PLAYING DARTS NON-STOP. DAY AFTER DAYS,YEARS AFTER YEARS TILL THAT FATAL NIGHT AFTER ANOTHER intoxicated DRINKING SESSIONS AT THE ROYAL LAKE CLUB,WHEREIN I WAS STRUCK BY STROKE. WHaT IS MY BIGGEST REGRET??? IT IS THE SENSELESS DRINKING FOR WHICH I AM NOW AND HAD BEEN FOR THE LAST 16 YEARS, PAYING THE PRICE. WOULD MY LIFE HAD BEEN DIFFERENT???? COULD I NOW BE ENJOYING BLISSFUL RETIREMENT INSTEAD OF BEING A CRIPPLE ???? THE DRINKING WAS THE KILLER,BUT GREAT LIFETIME FRIENDSHIPS WERE MADE,ONE THAT LAST TILL TODAY, QUITE A LOT ARE ALREADY DEAD AND SEVERAL DYING JUST LIKE ME,COULD THERE HAD BEEN AN ALTERNATIVE lifestyle???,WHAT IF I HAD NOT MET DON MCLELLAN AND INSTEAD DRIFTED TO A LIFE OF REGULAR ATTENDANCE AT SURAUS AND MOSQUES,WOULD I HAVE AVOIDED THIS STROKE OR IT HAD ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN THAT I WOULD BE afflicted WITH STROKE EVEN BEFORE I WAS BORN. WALLAHUALAM,ONLY GOD KNOWS.I WAS TOO WEAK TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST ,I WOULD FAVOUR LIFE FREQUENTING THE ROYAL LAKE CLUB,MADE ALL THE FRIENDSHIPS BUT NO NO,NOT THE DRINKING thAT IS MY BIGGEST REGRET IN LIFE,THE SENSELESS DRINKING,YA ALLAH PLEASE FORGIVE ME YA ALLAH

stroke teraphy

alhamdulillah,slight improvement in my walking,am able to walk unaided for up to 50 feet on flat even ground. bad news is that my affected left hand is still paralysed, although sometimes 2 or 3 days there will be violent spasms, which my doctor son,doctor iskandar,says it is a sign that some of the cells that had gone asleep becos of the stroke are waking up.however dead cells have not been replaced, only ALLAH and stem cell teraphy can restore that, alas no money for stem cell teraphy thus have to be patience . inshallah, sometime in the future,hopefully before i drop dead.am still 30% deaf

aunties

At birth i had around 8 aunties, siblings of my parents. sadly,yesterday,26th. october 2018, a second auntie ,puan hajjh zauyah ,a sister of my father passed away in seremban.mak Ne, as we all called her,passed away due to old age complications,am not sure wether it is dementia, alzheimer or parkinsons,but i am aware thAt she has had some serious handicapping affliction for quite some time as she was in the care of my elder sister,hajah RAMLAH ,for some time. DEATH IS ALWAYS A SAD OCCASION, AND NOT SOMETHING ONE LOOK FORWARD TO . HOWEVER, GOOD MANNERS, DEMANDS US TO SHOW RESPECT AND ATTEND THE CLOSING STAGES OF DEATH, WHICH IN ISLAM ENCOMPASS SEVERAL HEART WRENCHING RITUALS CULMINATING IN THE BURIAL OF THE DECEASED.IN MY CURRENT PHYSICAL STATE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO ATTEND. ALAs, MY angelic youngest sister,puan hajah jamaliah,took the trouble to arrange for a GRAB transport to pick me up from home and meet her at her office in shah alam. wherefrom we will depart for seremban. so ,i was lucky and grateful enough to be there in seremban2 to be present in joining the farewell rituals for allahyarhamah puan hajah zauyah. i was overcomed by the occasion and cried a bit. first in 20 years, and when i reflect upon it,my sadness was more because it reminded me my dear departed father,whose final journey i missed as i was then in guinea africa. surely, auntie means different things to everyone. growing up ,i ranked auntie, by how much i can expect raya money from them. hajah zauyah was a lifetime mother to my cousins and i am not aware of her having had a job. thus raya money from her, was nominal.i will not be a hypocrite by claiming that i am close to her. no,she was my fathers sister and thus i should accord the same respect and love to her as i did to my father. the best thing for me was that i get to meet again numerous people ,whom i have not seen for close to 30 years, syukur alhamdulillah,met up with pak chu musa,omar pak andak zuli, my cousins, ariff, aziz,hassan,yusof and lastly, my beloved sister, hajjah ramlah,her husband,haji azman, and numerous young and old relatives, whose existence i was not aware of,have never met before and privileged to meet before it is my turn to go. goodbye MAK NE. whos next????,me?????

death is not so bad
