A Wish from abah to Suhaifaniza Fasya - 24th April 2011

A Wish from abah and a thank to Allah swt for the day that you were born and for you being such a great daughter named Suhaifaniza Fasya to me.

May Allah swt continue to bless you life and give you the desires of your heart my daughter Suhaifaniza Fasya.

May Allah swt bless you and keep you always in His tender, loving care.

I hope that your day is blessed with happiness and joy.

You're the kind of beloved girlie kid Epa that only firdausy could have sent.

Solat that your day is as special as you are.

May you enjoy the Allah swt presence today.

As Allah swt adds life to your years, may He add years to your life. Happy Birthday!

May the only Allah swt shower you with many baraqah on your special day.

Allah swt is so wise that he never created my lovely girlie kid Epa with price tags. If he did, I wouldn't have been able to afford a precious daughter like you.

No sorrows to depress you, only shadows to surround you, Allah swt himself to bless you. Happy Birthday!

May Allah swt so often the pillow you rest your head on at night
May AllaH swt make smooth the path you walk by day
Not just today but everyday

 thank Allah swt for the day that you were born and for you being such a great daughter named Suhaifaniza Fasya to me.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Mohd Hafizul Saiful Anuar,

Today you turn twenty. That's an important age...right there between childhood and adulthood, perched precariously at the point where you're too old for a lot of things but too young for many others.

You're growing up so fast. It doesn't seem like any time at all since you were just a thought...a wish. From the moment your mother and I married, we knew we wanted you. Your name was chosen long before we knew we would have you...Mohd Hafizul...strong and manly.  

Just the idea of you brought joy to our lives. It took a few years, but eventually we were blessed from Allah s.w.t and found ourselves awaiting your entrance to the world. You must have been eagerly anticipating greeting the world as well, because you decided to arrive one months earlier than science and nature intended.

It was a very frightening time for us. You were so small, so fragile, clinging to life. The doctors from the Dutchess of Kent Hospital in Sandakan thought you would be hospitalized for at least 1, maybe 2 months...but what a fighter you turned out to be! We brought all 5 pounds, 7 ounces of you home with us only one days after you were born, and ever since then, we've marvelled at your strength. 

From Abah and Mak

Birthday in the 10^th of April Dutchess of Kent Hospital Sandakan Sabah

I sit here and think back to the night you were born on the 10^th of April 1988.You tucked away within my body, just the three of us.  You and Mak shared private moments that no one else could take part in.  A Mak, Abah and Syafina Fasya bond created even before we laid eyes on one another.

.

I knew you were coming that cold night twenty three years ago.  My body knew and it gave me queues all afternoon. I reveled in the thought that I would soon hold you within my arms.  I stayed at home for as long as possible knowing I wanted to have you to myself for just a bit longer. That’s Mak told abah about you on the 9^th of April.

You’re not the most patient child, never have been so it’s no surprise that my labor with you was extremely fast and hard.  Once you decided you wanted to see the world there was no slowing you down.  I nearly had you at home!  My body and I worked together like magic and birthing you gave me one of the most empowering and uplifting experiences of my life that your mak words to abah.  Not only were you born that night but something within me, a feeling of pure strength and empowerment that I’ve never before felt in my life, was also born that night. 

When they laid you against my chest I looked down at your angelic plump face and thanked Allah s.w.t.  I felt the presence of Abah wrapped around the both of us.  My heart was bursting with love and it was as if you and I had known each other all of our lives. 

As you grow and experience life, I want you to remember who you are and where you come from. Remember that you are strong and you can accomplish anything no matter how long the roads to your goals look.   Nothing is impossible.  Think outside the box.  Always have faith and stay true to yourself.  Be confident and take pride in who you are but also stay level headed.  Remember that everyone is different and different is beautiful.  You will realize that beauty will get you many things but always remember that the inner beauty you hold within is the most powerful and what will make you the most beautiful.  Be kind and compassionate.  Not only to everything around you, but also to yourself.  Stay safe and treat your body as a temple. 

Laugh.  Oh do laugh!  Your giggle is just one of the many things I love so much about you.  The room lights up when you laugh and my heart sings.  Laugh with your friends, laugh at the world, and laugh at yourself.  If you can’t laugh at yourself then you take life too seriously.   

Dream big.  Dream colorful.  Dream magic.  Dream beyond the stars.  Everything big starts as something small.  Leap high and go for it! 

I have faith in you my beautiful daughter.  I love you forever and look forward to a lifetime of experiences with you.  Thank you for all the smiles and even some of the tears.  Thank you for always loving me and teaching me everyday how to be a better person.  Thank you for being a part of our family.  But most of all…Thank you for just being you.

Happy birthday my sweet, sweet girl named Syafina Fasya

May Allah s.w.t always bless you in gaining health and happiness

Terima Call dari kawan lama...

Aku terima call dari kawan lama Rafdi @ yengge pada jam 4.15 petang. Masa tu hujan lebat di Slim ni. Masa tu juga berlaku hujan batu...bila kedengaran bunyi percikan batu ke tingkap cermin. Aku dan anak aku Suhaifaniza Fasya serta isteri aku pergi ke balcony dan betul-betul dapat melihat ketulan ais kecil penuh dilantai, lebih kurang sama saiz dengan buah biji saga. Kilat dan guruh amat kuat pada petang dan kami terus masuk. Balik pada cerita panggilan talipon kawan aku tadi. Sebenar dia nak ke Slim River petang tu berjumpa aku. Sebagai pengetahuan semua Rafdi ni kawan aku semasa menuntut di Tingkatan enam di sekolah Asrama Penuntut Kerajaan Negeri Perak pada tahun 1976 dan tahun 1977 dulu...Dan hari ini ialah 4hb April 2011 dan ini bererti kami tak pernah berjumpa sejak hari akhir persekolahan pada bulan November 1977.... dan hari ini bererti aku akan berjumpa dengan seorang sahabat lama setelah 34 tahun tidak berjumpa. Hati dan naluri ini sangat-sangat ingin berjumpa dengannya.. Aku talipon sahabat ini semula dan dia memberi response bahawa pada selepas magrib ni dia akan bertolak dari Kampar ke Slim River. Tengah aku menonton siaran tv Awan Dania tibe-tibe ada call dari Rafdi dan menyatakan dia dah sampai. Masa tu jam menunjukan jam 9.30 malam, dan dia menyatakan dia berada di depan Pasaraya Sakan dekat kawasan bandar baru slim. Aku pun terus kesana dan betul-betul jumpa dia disana dan terus kami beredar di sebuah kedai makan yang dikenali sebagai restoran Bryani baru  dihujung pekan Slim River ni. Kami sempat bersalaman dan berpelukan,  kerana lama tak pernah berjumpa dan terus buat pesanan minum teh tarik untuk aku dan dia minta kopi misai kucing..

Macam-macam hal kami bualkan dari cerite kawan-kawan seangkatan dan diri masing-masing. Kami bersembang hingga jam 11.45 malam kerana dia terpaksa balik ke Kampar semula. Aku sangat gembira mendengar khabar cerita kawan-kawan yang lama yang aku tak pernah dengar khabar mereka sebelum ini...Bagi aku malam itu satu keseronokkan yang sangat menyenangkan... Sebelum pulang kami menyuruh pelayan kedai mengambil gambar dengan mengguna handphone sebab aku terlupa bawa kamera bersama.....

a birthday

Dear Noratiqah Fasya:

I've been debating what to write for your annual birthday letter wanting to give you bright, happy thoughts.

I can't believe you're going to be sixteen years old on the 30^th march 2011. It seems like only a blink away I saw you swaddled in white in the Dutchess of Kent hospital. I'm so glad you have such a great family. I (Abah) loves you so much and create phone call all the time about how you're doing. Mak keep on remebering your first al quran recital since your age began seven..I just can’t twist a rewind of it.

They should tell me you're having your party at the mrsm boarding school that you really love it. I know you'll have a blast. In my unusual tradition I'll be releasing the balloons at the park where we had Placement sixteen of them this year. I'll watch them float up to the sky and again wish you a happy birthday as the balloons climb higher and higher into the clouds. My once deep sorrow has now turned into heartfelt happiness knowing that you enjoy a new, good life each day with your adoptive parents that your homeroom and your school mates. You get to have all the things I was never able to give you including peace and stability which every child deserves.

Soon the Akedemi Fantasia will be on t.v. again just like two year years ago when I watched, the concerts with you. Those were memorable times I will treasure always.

I used to be awkward when asked about you by others but now I proudly say, "She lives with her adoptive family n friends in Kampung Gajah." I do have some of your pictures displayed all over our tarrace home like in the commonroom where a copy of your kindergarten hangs by some of my framed collection on the cabinet at home. Now I can't imagine my life without you. It is like the chapters before you came along don't exist.

Every day I thank God Allah s.w.t for you.

Happy 16th Birthday!

I love you,

Abah... Saiful Anuar Safian
