Well actually D-Day plus One is yesterday. D-Day = the day that when we need to do all the things by ourselves as the maid decided to leave. As I am the one who volunteered to stay at home and take care all the kids while wifey fulfilling her appointments. I have to admit it’s quite awkward for me at first but as the day progressed, I’m getting used to all the house chores even though the house usually filled with shouting from me, the twins and of cause their usual victim, Iman.

It seems that the last entry of this blog is on 17th August 2009, my twin’s 2nd birthday. To be honest, it’s not that I abandon this blog all together, I have few drafts that are still lacking the final touch (or the final words). Some of the drafts are interesting posts (at that time) which I think quite “basi” already for now. Some of those are lame postings which I rightly remove from the draft folder hehehe. Maybe I could inject some new elements on the “basi” ones..Maybe..

To be frank, overall I’m in the stage of overcoming some tests that the God has given to me. Some of the tests are quite challenging that I think without the support of my loved ones, I might suffer what I call mental break down. Some times I do feel like I want to scream at the top of my lung but after thinking about the consequence and the benefits of doing it, I’ve decided against doing that. Yeah I do feel that I’ve reached the limit many times.

Last two days, my maid decided to leave us. She just pack her things, leave the twins and then she left. Fortunately she still has the decency to sms wifey and asked her to come home as soon as possible because the twins were at home alone. So wifey called me, fetched me from the office, went back to the house and gladly and gratefully to see the twins happily playing within the house compound. Fortunately the neighbour’s maid was there to accompany them and it seems that Nisha also skipped her school. I take it as it’s another test for me and honestly this is the least challenging compared to others.

I know that this maid is going to leave us someday and to be honest I do not have the feeling to retain her as well especially after the case of Iman’s hand poured with hot boiled water. She told us that Iman was playing with the boiler but all the post incident events indicate that she was hiding something.

Nevermind… For all the things that happened to me and my family, I know that maybe in the future the God will reward us with something that beyond our imagination. Who knows rite

Happy birthday to my twins. 2 Years old already eh

Just for fun OK? I hope that none of my friends or any of you have even the slightest intention to jump out of the window.. OK?

Oh yeah.. Back in May 2008, I had one minor surgery on my forehead to remove one small lump that will spurt blood on the slightest touch. Ok not spurting blood but it will bleed and took some time to stop. In fact there was one time that I’ve spent around 15 to 20 minutes in the toilet watching the blood dripping into the toilet bowl (OK I just wanna test how long it would take for the bleeding to stop). So I’ve decided for that lump to be surgically removed.

Before operation. Take note on the small "lump" above my left eyebrow

Of cause for every surgery will leave you one nice scar. For me as I had approx. 11 stitches on my forehead and at that time I do feel like Frankenstein. I have to admit that whenever I look at the mirror every morning either for brushing my teeth or trimming my beards, sometimes I did cover the surgery wound with my hand.

Immediately after the operation.. Still in "lalok" stage

Soon after the stitches were removed, it leaves one nice long trench on my forehead and I did notice that my eyebrows were not aligned to each other. My left eyebrow was lil bit higher than the right one (thank God that my eyes are still in its original place hehehe). Well it was lil bit awkward when the first thing that people that I met fixed their eyes on  or asking was my scar.

“You had a fight kah?”

“You had a gang fight eh?”

“Your twins are soo naughty eh?”

“You just upgrade your memory?” -> one of my colleagues question..

But as the time passed by, I’m getting used to that kind of questions (minus the last one) as for me nothing will change lor and from time to time I just simply ignore the existence of that scar.

Until one fine day when wifey approach me and said,

“You already know that my stretch marks mostly gone rite?”

“Yeah.. It’s nice to actually feel that I’m touching the stomach instead of car tyre surface  whenever I touch your stomach.”

“Good. Now lets try on your operation scar.”

“What? Later on lah.. I’m watching Sopranos now and I’ll do it later. Can?”

“Just sit quietly and let me do on your operation scar.”

“Later lah..”

“Quiet and watch your Sopranos.”

“Err OK”

And that’s the start of everything. My scar really lighten up and on the next time, it’s me who asking wifey,

“Where’s your machine eh? Err I want to do on my scar.”

And after few times this is the result.

Frankenstein

Lighten up lil bit

Better?

no comment

Cool eh?

Sorry Folks…

Recently one of my friends performed penetration testing on one of our client’s networks. Well most of the times the penetration testing will be done based on “white box” testing technique and yeah sometimes the client of cause request “black box” technique as well. And sometimes we just performed both of these techniques also. During the “black box” session, he mentioned that it seems that this particular client has some sort of content filtering device or mechanism that managed to block most of his attack assessment techniques. I assume that this client has an IPS installed on their network. No, this is not IPS bashing posting from me OK?

On this day, I think maybe we should embrace and understand the real meaning of the song titled “Heal The World” sang by this wonderful, shocking, controversial entertainer who passed away today… (By the way this is one of my favourite songs)

“Heal The World”

There’s A Place In
Your Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place Could
Be Much
Brighter Than Tomorrow
And If You Really Try
You’ll Find There’s No Need
To Cry
In This Place You’ll Feel
There’s No Hurt Or Sorrow

There Are Ways
To Get There
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
Make A Better Place…

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

If You Want To Know Why
There’s A Love That
Cannot Lie
Love Is Strong
It Only Cares For
Joyful Giving
If We Try
We Shall See
In This Bliss
We Cannot Feel
Fear Or Dread
We Stop Existing And
Start Living

Then It Feels That Always
Love’s Enough For
Us Growing
So Make A Better World
Make A Better World…

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

And The Dream We Were
Conceived In
Will Reveal A Joyful Face
And The World We
Once Believed In
Will Shine Again In Grace
Then Why Do We Keep
Strangling Life
Wound This Earth
Crucify Its Soul
Though It’s Plain To See
This World Is Heavenly
Be God’s Glow

We Could Fly So High
Let Our Spirits Never Die
In My Heart
I Feel You Are All
My Brothers
Create A World With
No Fear
Together We’ll Cry
Happy Tears
See The Nations Turn
Their Swords
Into Plowshares

We Could Really Get There
If You Cared Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
To Make A Better Place…
