17 years ago, he was just a cute and adorable little baby born in an oil rich town Miri. About one month later, he moved to a gas rich town Bintulu and was grown up there for 12 solid years before he transferred to Chukai, Terengganu – a small district in an Oil & Gas state Terengganu.
Today, 14.10.2008, 10 years down the memory lane, I remember his first day in school – Tadika AnNur – one of the best Preparatory school in town funded by PETRONAS – a Fortune 500 company, he was a little bit reserved, isolating himself from his new kinds but well-behaved. He started his school life a little late. However, alhamdullillah, he managed to cope with the school curriculum distinctively which was proven when he passed an assessment test of elite Islamic Primary School owned and funded by the state government with flying colors. Zillion of thanks to our friends, the teachers, the school, the State Government and the top most the Al-Mighty Allah Rabbul Jalil. Honestly, I did not believe it myself! That was bad of me.
I must admit that, I’m not a good Captain maneuvering this humble ship of the bumpy challenging and exigent journey, but still better than the legendary Titanic’s Chief, I hope. Oh Allah………give me strength, show me the right path and please pardon my ignorant and stubbornness; give us Your Blessing….oh Allah ‘Azza wa Jala the most Gracious and most Merciful. Amiin.
Being a senior of his four siblings, he has gone through a tough strenuous journey.
Suitable with his name - Afi, literally in standard Arabic means he who give forgiveness and in Egyptian accent – “I do accept it, please don’t mention”, he has a very positive character and behavior; diligent, obedient, honest, helpful and charismatic. I must say, through out our journey as a normal human being, he never bluffs me and he never says NO to me. He watched all the bad experiences that we faced; he patiently went through the hurricane and the stormy water that we confronted due to the poor navigation skills; once he was the mentor and counselor of the sick old Captain and his Assistant; he was depressed by what he watched but he never took it negative – he never take heart!; he used to absorb the blame of mistakes made by his brothers and sister; he was bullied but he was strong and assertive.
A blend of all those tough experiences, stringent process and his distinctive character has made him more matured, creative and respectful person. Continuing his journey, he has owned many significant achievement; won the Kertih-Chukai cycling tour; champion during the 16 km Montaza-Quitbay marathon; best Art Award from his British School of Alexandria; awarded blue belt in his Gemilang Tae Kwon Do and many others.... I must put in record our heartiest congratulations for what you had done! And, keep it up..son!
Today, 14.10.2008 is his 17th birthday, a transition period for him to be more by himself to continue his new episode of his story. On his birthday as what we treated the rest of our family members, as usual, we celebrate all our birthday in a very simple low profile. It is better to remind ourselves the life thereafter rather than the day when we were born into this temporary world.
After performing relatively well in his IGCSE O level, he is now gearing himself to achieve a better A level series. Inspired by his uncle Zailan – the DRN tycoon and his passion with art, he wanted to be a successful architect one day. May Allah swt granted his wish.
Well ‘Afi, you know my standard, do not sit with your laurels and don’t be complacent with whatever that you have achieved thus far. Work hard and do your best for Allah swt.
Once again……………………………………………Alf Mabrouk from us all.
