<br />
Naturally I am excited. We all are.<br />
<br />
It will be very near to a school/college, across the field, tucked away from the main road. Not very far from our current rented house.<br />
<br />
Moga yang baik-baik sahaja untuk masa hadapan. Amin.<br />

<br />
My sister's wedding will be next week. Lets put this MFT to the test.<br />
<br />
I'm more interested in making short video now. I think this is where MFT trumps over DSLR; if we compare bang-for-buck. Hard to compete with a full-frame DSLR on stills.<br />

Dua bulan lagi berakhirlah tahun 2017. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buat masa ini;</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Fasa terakhir Fellowship FRACGP. Doakan.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Tahun depan berpindah tempat kerja. Akan meninggalkan hospital dan klinik sekarang ke klinik yang lebih kecil lagi, tapi lebih dekat dengan rumah. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Akan meninggalkan <i>acute care </i>buat sementara dan fokus kepada <i>primary care</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Mikhail sudah ada lebih 80+ patah perkataan. <i>Forming simple sentences</i> dalam 3-4 patah perkataan. Makin kurang <i>stereotyping behavior</i>. Gemar bermain <i>role-play</i>. <i>Curious</i> dan suka bertanya. Tetapi masih ada beberapa elemen perkembangan sosial yang belum berkembang.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kalau dalam kelompok besar seperti tadika/playground, dia akan main dalam dunia dia sendiri, atau memerhati dari jauh dan akan main selepas itu. Kadang-kadang dia akan buat-buat tak peduli orang di tepinya; tapi ekor matanya sering menjeling dan <i>observe</i>. Akan lari kalau ditegur/disapa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kalau dalam kumpulan kecil (2-3orang kawan), dia akan lebih confident untuk berinteraksi, tetapi akan 'mencuri' beberapa minit untuk menyendiri/menyorok, sebelum join semula. Sepertinya komunikasi dengan orang itu melelahkan agaknya, perlu recharge semula. Kitar ini biasanya seperti berikut 20min main- 5min solo - ulang.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Makin <i>behave</i>, boleh tunggu giliran, boleh<i> sit down</i>, tapi tak lebih dari 10-20minit. Kalau ada aktiviti sosial/urusan rasmi yang perlukan lebih masa; perlu ada strategi untuk 'mengisi' kebosanan. Semasa fasa 2-3 tahun; jangan harap boleh makan di restaurant. <i>Waiting in line for ticket/boarding airplane is a nightmare</i>. Sekarang ini bolehlah sikit-sikit. Kami masih menolak/tapis pelawaan kawan-kawan untuk makan di luar atas sebab ini. Harap tidak kecil hati.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <i>Andika is growing ever so fast</i>! Selalu bergaduh dengan Mikhail, berebut mainan, dan selalunya tidak nampak sebarang tanda yang Andika akan mengalah. Dia lawan balik. <i>Very cheeky,</i> suka mengusik abangnya. Manja dengan mamanya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andika is not a picky eater, unlike his brother. Both of them love fruits. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andika likes to build things while Mikhail prefers to animate his toys. So the typical scenario in our house is; Andika will architect the diorama and Mikhail will fill it in with his trains and figures(?Inception :D). They don't usually talk to each other though. And in the end, both of them will turn into Godzilla and destroy the whole things. Leaving us zombie-faced parents to clean-up the mess. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We need some discipline with these boys! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tahun depan kami rancang hantar Andika ke day-care untuk sehari. Cuba-cuba. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. We are torn in between building a house here in the regional area or buying a house/unit in the city. I'm feeling the pressure to own a house here. For security purposes. So far we have secured property in Malaysia but not here. I guess it is a big decision to make and long-term repayment to commit to after all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saliza is still keeping the option of going back after 2020 and therefore she is pushing for making more investment in Malaysia. I, on the other hand, was thinking of residing here for awhile and having Malaysia as our retirement plan. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We will see.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. It has been awhile since I do something that interest me. I haven't had activities that I could call hobbies for awhile. I haven't touch a book (other than medical literature) for ages, my car is as boring as <strike>fish</strike>, I sold my DSLR, I'm way out of shape, I couldn't attend my karate classes ;Life seems to ceased to be my own. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But I guess ; so is Saliza. And so are thousands of young parents everywhere. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Regret? No. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess we both made conscious decision in shifting our priority. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The early phases of parenting were not all morning-glory. It was literally gloomy and in fact quite depressing. Exhausted physically and emotionally-drained. We both in a mess. Everything seems to be a routine and house works were back-breaking chores. We thought that our 'me-time' was our way to recharge ourselves but, frankly, it was our attempt to run away from problems in retrospect. We made excuses and began finger-pointing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what had happened?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We sat and talked. Many times. Countless of times. We did soul-searching and pray. We argued and reconciled. We didn't tell our parents because, well, both of my parents had gone through enough during their recent separation and both of Saliza's parents are no longer with us. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Much later it dawn to us that ; nurturing our kids and guiding their young minds <u><i>is</i></u> our project. Seeing them achieving things even as menial as learning new words everyday will mean a whole new world to us. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was not too far to say that we saw the world quite differently from there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Short trip to the mall to do groceries was probably a dreadful thing in the past, but now we see this as learning opportunities for the kids to learn new veges/fruits and things and for them to take some responsibilities like carrying the fruits, learn to count with the eggs, paying the cash to cashier girl (Mikhail's favourite) or even just simply pushing the cart around. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suddenly everything seems to be an opportunity and little mundane things like splashes of water from Andika's jumping boot (Peppa Pig's influence) was a joy to behold and a source of perpetual wonder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did not say that everything went all right just like that. No. We still have our bad days. We still argue. Mikhail and Andika still throwing their tantrums and having meltdowns; but hey, I guess we could say that we are happier now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess we could now say that we want to do this because we want it; not because we have to do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And for that; I honestly could not ask for more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Tahun 2016 bakal berakhir dalam masa 3 hari lagi. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Selamat datang 2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tahun 2016 adalah tahun yang mencabar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tahun pertama beranak dua. Andika lahir bawa kegembiraan dan kebahagiaan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mikhail perlukan terapi berkala utk speech delay dan autism spectrumnya/asperger (alhamdulillah ada progress, inshaAllah ada satu posting khas nanti). Cabarannya bukan kepalang, tapi kami redha dan bersyukur. Mama and papa love you Mikhail!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kami juga menghadapi keadaan ekonomi keluarga yang tak menentu. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dan berakhir dengan penceraian ibu dan ayah awal bulan Disember. Sedih! Tapi, jika itu yang terbaik, aku mohon Allah SWT lapangkan hidup dan berkati umur kedua orang tuaku. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dari segi kerjaya, aku sangat berpuas hati dengan pengalaman dan environment kerja yang stimulating dan juga rewarding. InshaAllah akan memasuki fasa akhir Master dan juga Fellowship tahun depan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2016 berlalu dengan memori pahit dan manis. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aku bersyukur pada Allah SWT yang sentiasa menunjukkan jalan keluar, 'menegur' mana yang silap dan memberi 'peluang' memperbaik mana yang kurang.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aku berterima kasih pada isteriku yang tersayang, kerana sanggup bersama menghadapi semua ini. Terima kasih! Engkaulah kekuatanku. Engkaulah segalanya. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2016 masa kita banyak dihabiskan di rumah. InshaAllah untuk 2017, harapnya lebih aktif dan amal keluarga bertambah gencar! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kita mohon padaNya, dan kembalikan semua padaNya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a good feeling about this one!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
