26/10/2010 A SPECIAL DAY

at my favourite Penang japanese restaurant Island Plaza today
WITH MY WIFE SARINA IN SEOUL KOREA OCT2010
SYUKUR ALHAMDULILLAH, LUCKY ME, A CAREER,A JOB AND HOBBY ALL ROLL INTO ONE, (PICTURE TAKEN IN JANGSU STUD FARM KOREA OCT 2010)

MY SPECIAL DAY THOUGHTS:-

I remember the days
when my mind used to be
overrun with emotions and thoughts
of all things good and the worst;

As time went by,
with each new day,
and with a brand new life to look forward to,
my mind emptied itself in a flash, just like that;

With a cup of coffee in hand,
I sit back and think about the yesteryears,
smiling at the change that has taken over me
and the life that i have been blessed with now;

strolling down the memory lane,
unafraid of the future,
blinded by the ecstasy of living
eventually, with eyes wide open,
i’ve come to understand, that
some things, including life, change for the better;

INSYAALLAH SYUKUR PADA ALLAH SWT.
AMIN.

at kranji racecourse

The 15th Oct 2010, my wife and me visited SINGAPORE TURF CLUB,at Kranji Racecourse during the Friday Night racing.

I took a quick tour of the races by going to the STARTING POINT with SNTC Chief Starter Mr Dale Jeffs and his Team for races 1 and 2,and then had a first hand look at the ultra modern state of the art Singapore Turf Club at Kranji.It was indeed a historical event of my racing career,as this was my first trip to Kranji after SNTC moved from Bukit Timah Racecourse some years ago.
Thank you to all that made this possible.Insyaallah we will visit again.
