Escape from death, the Tsunami

Yesterday after the very much beauty sleep, i woke up at almost three in the afternoon. We then planned to bring our little baby out and have dinner at Tampines Mall. We later met up with Fendi and Ira and head on to Simpang Bedok for supper and to only arrive home at midnight. As i was still worn out by the christmas eve outing, i wasted no more time and went straight to bed. To my amazement when i woke up this morning, the papers was flooded with news on the Tsunami which hit various parts of the Countries in Asia. And one of the country was Malaysia and Thailand where Langkawi resides in Malaysia and Phuket in Thailand. I was taken deep to my surprise and was helding on deep long thoughts. My Hubby, My Baby and Me, WE, escaped from the ring of death. Why do i say so? As, we have actually planned to head on either to Langkawi or Phuket for a holiday on the said date but eventually the plans was put off as my hubby had things to attend to and was not granted leave by his work place. I was truly devastated that the plans was down the drain. Now, i am truly thankful for all that had taken place and making our plans to 'just a plan'. Or what could have happened to us? Ya ALLAH, Thank you for the hang ups before the holiday trip. Thank you so much for saving our lives and not having us to encounter the disaster. I put away the newspaper, hugged my baby so tightly after doing the sujud syukur and cried. I cried my hearts out. I was truly, truly happy that i did not have the opportunities to encounter the scenes of Angry Mother Nature hitting at us for destroying the earth and not being thankful for all that was bestowed to us. I then dialled up my hubby and told him that i was no longer angry over the screwed up plans and was truly thankful and relieved that we did not make our way down to the hitted areas. I could not imagine the 'could happen' if we were there. I can't bear the thoughts of what if i had lost my hubby or my baby and me left to survive? I just kept agonising myself with these horrendous thoughts that left my mom to console me and put my uneven thoughts at ease. My hubby gave me a good hug immmediately after he stepped into the house from work. He told me to just let go of the thoughts and asked me to keep saying my thanks to ALLAH. After much consolling from my mom and dearest hubby, i pulled myself together and away from the trauma. I clicked on the button of the TV remote control and watched the news on the disaster, it was so horrifying. Bodies lying dead and shocked was written all over the faces of the people whom encountered the real life drama. Many lives was swallowed by the angry tidal waves. Houses and properties were destroyed and laid in rubbles. Crying, hailing and disbeliefs was clearly seen and bursting on the scenes. This is when i took the time to reflect on my parents words, 'nothing is yours'. All that you have is on borrowed times and can be taken away in a matter of split seconds. You can have all the beauty and greatness in life but you too can loose it at anytime. Your life and death and all that is presence right before you lies in the hand of the creator of you. So what, if the technology gets better as time passes by. Scientist can identify the calamity, catastrophe that will be taking place but can they stopped it from happening? Whatever modern technology up in their sleeves can never be compared to the power of the Almighty. You are just you. How big your status is, how fat your pocket might be and how beautiful others claims you to be, you're just you. A mere human being with no control over fate and life destiny. All you can do is make the best out of yourself and be happy with the borrowed things and times on earth. Never be too pompous in every ways of life as it was never yours to begin with let alone to end with. Only your Amal Ibadah that yours to hold on to. I hope with the current disaster that swept us in awe and fascination, leaving us in dismay or should i say shocked, we will be thankful for the pleasures in life and remorse on our bad deals that we have contributed on ourselves, friends, families and others ard us. Take this time to express our love for the loved ones and apologised to those that we have dreadfully upset. To This: Dear Friends and Families and to all those that know me, I am truly sorry for all the hurt that i have directly or indirectly caused. Please forgive me for it. And to mama,papa and hubby thank you for everything and please forgive me for all the upsetting things that i have contributed or words that was foul and should not been said. I love you all with my heart. YA ALLAH, AKU BERSYUKUR ATAS SEGALA KEHENDAK MU. AKU REDHA ATAS SEGALA TULISAN MU. AMIN..
