Post Raya

Raya was unique. After 38 years celebrating in Ipoh, the wind of change finally brought them to KL. Thanks to my uncle who proposed the ideas. No one seems to be complaining and next year we all agreed in principal to celebrate in Penang. Wow! never thought this will happen.

They all came on raya eve and that night we had a BBQ. Next day as usual prayers and the main activity, LUNCH ... pergh, that's what I call Lunch! Went to visit some relatives after that and then we'll just chilled. The kids had a crazy time ... macam tak ingat dunia. They did everything they wanted to do simpy because we are out numbered!

2nd day, we'll left for Kuala Selangor and my parents went to Melaka ... jalan2 cari angin. Came back to KL on Tuesday and started working on Wednesday. In short ... excellent, no trafic jam what so ever ...

Ran on Tuesday, Thursday and last Saturday, 10km. Sunday did 70km on the bike. Still can feel some muscle twitching ... now, the thought of running another 10km after the bike, really makes me nervous ...

On different note, the first "Shaikh" out to the space came back safely yesterday. Pergh ... cayalah ... we are proud of you man. But beware the media will make you appear on Majalah HAi!!!! So pikiak la baik2 your next move ...

On different note:

Not much has been mentioned about Allahyarham Nur Mohammad Sahiduzzaman Yusoff, 15. He was the first heart donor for Tee. Read on ... At "that" moment it is amazing how a father can think about other people ... he is a HERO. And arwah is a "hafiz", well Allah lebih sayang kepada beliau ... Al fatihah.

KUALA LUMPUR 10 Okt. – Keluarga penderma jantung pertama kepada Tee Hui Yee yakin pengorbanan anaknya, Allahyarham Nur Mohammad Sahiduzzaman Yusoff, 15, tidak sia-sia walaupun organ berkenaan tidak sesuai untuk gadis tersebut.

Bapa Allahyarham, Yusoff Hassan berkata, ini kerana tiga lagi organ anaknya iaitu paru-paru, hati dan buah pinggang berjaya dipindahkan kepada pesakit yang memerlukan dan serasi dengan tubuh pesakit itu.
‘‘Saya reda walaupun jantung anak saya yang didermakan kepada Tee Hui Yee tidak sesuai dengannya.
‘‘Apalah daya saya untuk menolak perkara itu daripada berlaku. Saya cuma mahu membantu gadis itu selepas dimaklumkan oleh seorang doktor di Ipoh bahawa anak saya sudah tidak ada harapan untuk hidup lagi.
‘‘Sesungguhnya saya ikhlas dan tanpa mengambil masa yang lama, saya dan isteri terus bersetuju untuk mendermakan organ tersebut,’’ katanya ketika ditemui di Hotel Legend di sini hari ini.

Sebelum itu, beliau dan isteri, Sapiah Hamzah, menerima sumbangan sebanyak RM10,000 sebagai tanda penghargaan daripada Barisan Nasional (BN) Negeri Perak yang disampaikan oleh Menteri Besar Perak, Datuk Seri Mohd. Tajol Rosli Ghazali.

Yusoff berkata, keputusan untuk mendermakan organ anaknya itu merupakan satu tanggungjawab untuk membantu mereka yang memerlukan dan merupakan satu inisiatif untuk mendorong orang lain mendermakan organ.
Beliau berharap organ-organ lain anaknya yang turut didermakan dapat memberi manfaat kepada penerimanya.

Mengulas mengenai anaknya, Yusoff berkata, Nur Mohamad yang mempunyai tujuh orang adik-beradik berumur antara enam hingga 19 tahun merupakan seorang hafiz al-Quran.
Tambahnya, anaknya itu juga telah menghafal lebih 18 juzuk al-Quran selain menjadi imam bagi solat tarawih di Masjid Sungai Tiram, Batu 10 Lekir, Sitiawan di Perak.
