Weekend

A'kum,

How's ur weekend ? Mine ok.

I took a leave on Friday to settle on the bills. These days, u hv to take a leave to pay utr bills. Govt. sectors no longer work on Saturday. I know, some bills can be paid online. But not all of them.

Another thing, I did was get my car serviced. Changed regular things; engine oil, plugs and oild filter. Also changed my break pad (front). I bought all the parts from spare parts store at PJ state. The price is cheaper than most other shops around KL. Eg: Engine Oil Castrol GTX2, I got for 38 when at most other shops sell them for 44.

Then get them done at workshop. The regular w/shop I went to was full, so I went somewhere else. The labour charge was slightly higher tahn that of my regular w/shop, but it does not matter so much.

Anyway, there was football again on tv this weekend. World Cup qualifier. Managed to catch the England - Austria match. Lampard scored the only goal from penalaty spot after a foul on Owen. Overall a 6 out of 10 in terms of entertainment. Noone in particular was outstanding in the match. Sol Campbell returned after injury in the expense of Rio Ferdinand. Anyway, he hit an injury again towards the end. Got replaced by Rio Ferdinand. Crouch started the game partnering Owen up front. The midfield lined up by Beckham, Gerard and Joe Cole other than Lampard. Partnering Sol Campbell in the heart of defence was the in-form John Terry of Chelsea. Eric Young (never heard of him before) started on the right back with Caragher on the left.

According to this morning's Eurosportsnews on Astro, England has qualified as one of the best 2nd place winner as Holland defeated Republic Czech in Amsterdam. No idea how the calculation is done. They still have another match against Poland who is currently topping the group.

Btw, I managed to watch the goals scoredby Holland in the match vs Czech. Both are initialised by Arjen Robben. I think he'a a man on top of his form at the moment. It will be a loss for Chelsea not to play him again. In the last match with Chelsea, he only came in, midway thru' the 2nd half.

That's it about football. Now, about my beloved wife. We went for checkup last Saturday because of her having irregular period. Actually, that was our 2nd visit. During the 1st visit, the doctor found nothing wrong with her. She checked her womb and there was nothing wrong whatsoever. She asked her to come back in the next one or two weeks for blood test. Then, yesterday we came. When her name was called, she went in on her own. Seconds later, the doctor sent for me. I went in, and what I found out what really unexpected. The first view of my first baby. My wife was pregnant!!! The feeling was undescribable. After all these 7 months. We will be having a baby by May next year insyaAllah. I wonder how it is gonna be. Unbelievable. My wife was also ecstatic about the news. She has stopped having pregnancy test for some time after a few dissappointments. I told, hope for the best, expect the worse, take what comes. Even if we could not have a baby, we could always adopt. But, Allah has other plan for us. Let's make do'a for the baby so that he/she'll be healthy. To my wife also. Be healthy always.

Ok... Please make do'a for us.

Wassalaaam...
