2nd day.....

2nd July 2015 (15 Ramadhan 1436)

First day of my retirement, I sent my daughter to her attachment in JPMC.  We left around 0630 hours.  After I dropped Aqeel, thought my appointment was around 0830 hours, As the place is new to me I decided to go and look for it.  I reached there 30 minutes early.  The meeting was a promising one.

I left around 1000hours. I decided to go to Sharif Ali Mosque in Sengkurung as it is one of my favourite mosque.  After solat Dhuhaa, I continue reading the Quran (we have this daily Quranic group through whatsapp) and update it.

I left Sultan Sharif Ali Mosque 1100 hours.  I dropped by HSBC to bank in for Aqeel. After that I went to Hjh Mariam Jerudong Mosque for my zohor prayer.

Sitting in the two mosques gave me time to reflect as I was not rushing.  It showed me that the things that we rushed for unnecessary in our life time, if it is not directing us towards Allah, it is useless. As we cant reap the benefits in Jannah. All good deeds we did in this dun ya, we will reap it in Jannah.  May Allah grand us jannatul firdaus.  Aamiin.

Driving along the road to JPMC will let us pass the horses of Jerudong Polo Club.  They have their morning exercises around the field.  Horses have been one of my favorite animals.  And I used to come with kids for horse riding lessons.  Love it. When they reach secondary level, we stopped for a while.  Also it is my late dad favorite animal.

When in JPMC, I met a few of cancer patients in my life.  Some left us and some still alive.  Through their determination and support from families and friends, they are able to get through it. Remind me to always be thankful for what I have.

Picked up Aqeel and return home.

Bismillahirahmanirrahim

After about 34 years of service, today is the day I said goodbye to working life.

The last three days was very hectic.  As my successor is not on seat, it was decided 2 months before I leave to handover to 5-6 different person.

Unoffically I have handed over to them prior the formal email from my supervisor. But the last three days one after another came to ask various things before I leave.  Normally the last day was used to say good bye to friends and colleagues, but these three days I worked late. It was also Ramadhan and people left around 1.30pm.  This is the specialty in our country that during Ramadhan, the working hours was shorten from 8 to 6hours.

I managed to say goodbye whom are still at the office.

I don't feel sad leaving.  In fact I felt relief as if a whole load of burden have been taken off my shoulders.  Looking back, I never thought I could reach this far.  There were ups and downs in life, I felt blessed having known many who came to my life be it local or expats and having gain knowledge as well as sharing the knowledge I have with them.

I thank Allah for the countless blessings that was given to me through out my life.
May Allah grand taufiq & hidayah to enable me to use what time is left, for my devotion to Allah.  May Allah grand good health so that my worship towards Allah is undettered.
We seek your forgiveness, ya Allah.

The starts of new chapters towards kehidupan Hakiki.
