Man of the House

As the clock ticked to 12.23 pm on Monday, 24th November 2008, my life has changed for better... I became a father for another child...another daughter of mine. She was named Aliyah. Her crying was very much anticipated and reminded me of my additional responsibilities as the man of the house.

As I hold Aliyah to begin the recital of Azan and Iqamah, I realised that her eyes were directly staring at me. My voice trembled and I was about to let my tears falling from my eyes as I uttered "Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar!". I could feel that Aliyah was asking me to take care of her... and give her unconditional love and care as much as possible.

Daddy promise, Aliyah...don't worry! I will love you as much as I love your sister Aisyah and also your mummy!


I took Aliyah to see the plastic surgeon at HUKM yesterday. Our experience was great. The nurses were very helpful plus the doctor was friendly. He said that we should not be worry of Aliyah's condition and we should continue the way we feed Aliyah the way we have been doing - by syringe.
