The journey in life is never a straight line (PART 18)


If Syed Hamid had accepted a court's preference as great as had left me alone afterwards my pierce to a UK would have been delayed, during slightest by some-more than a year or even dual years. But since he longed for me behind in Kamunting he left me no preference though to leave a nation progressing than planned. And since of which Marina's cancer had been rescued substantially dual years progressing than it would have.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
We would similar to to hold which we have been masters of a own destiny. Sure, there is such a thing called fate. But we would similar to to hold which we decide a own fate. Man proposes though God disposes is seldom a concept which we consider about until after a event. And even afterwards we regularly demeanour during outmost events which influenced these changes to blame for which failure.
Are there such things called china linings in dark clouds? we suspect those who hold in blessings would classify it as a great fortune in disguise. But why contingency blessings come in disguise? Why can't blessings come ready to go in labels so which we can recognize them when they arrive rather than much after down a road long after a event?
We all have dreams. Those who no longer mental condition have been those who have died, said a late Tun Abdul Ghafar Baba, a single time Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. As long as we breathe we will still dream, explained a Tun. Hence to mental condition is what spurs us. The day we stop dreaming is a day we stop living, figure of speech, of course.
My mental condition was to float my motorcycle from Malaysia to a UK. That never happened. we plotted as great as we planned, though God is a greatest plotter of all, as a Qur'an says. Hence whatever we ! contend contingency regularly be gradual with a phraseInsha Allah(God willingorif God wills it) lest we tempt fate. Don't a English regularly contend 'touch wood' to equivocate a mischief by a devil of a trees which humankind worshipped in a days prior to 'Holy Books as great as 'Abrahamic Faiths'?
My father died, we had to seek practice to await myself, we got married, my initial kid Raja Suraya arrived, all within a space of dual years to have which bike float from Kuala Lumpur to London a mental condition which would never come true. Maybe we would still do it a single day. Maybe we will still live my dream. But which would have to wait. It would right away no longer be what we do prior to we begin my life. It would have to be something we do prior to we finish my life. It would be what we do once we retire.
And so my wife, Marina, as great as we programmed which retirement. But how would we interpret 'retirement'? we suspect early early early early retirement would be something which we stop doing. It would be a shift of lifestyle of sorts. we would no longer do what we am we do now. we would stop we do what we am we do as great as do nothing. And afterwards we would fill which empty space with something new.
But when should we retire as great as what do we do to fill in which time of retirement? Marina as great as we discussed it most times as great as for utterly some time. This was during a height of a Reformasi days. Retirement would be when we reached 60. And which would, therefore, be after 2010. And when we retire we would pierce to England, buy a second hand Mini Cooper, as great as afterwards debate Europe.
Okay, this is not utterly roving my motorcycle from Malaysia to a UK. But which was my mental condition when we was still usually 20. At 60, dreams have to be mutated slightly. It was no longer usually about me though would embody Marina as well. And during 60 my skeleton were no longer what they used to be when we! was 20. Hence pushing my Mini Cooper all over Europe competence be less fatiguing upon my body than roving a motorcycle from Kuala Lumpur to London. And we doubt sitting upon a behind seat of a motorcycle for almost 10,000 miles would have been Marina's idea of fun.
The grounds for a eventual pierce to a UK was laid in December 2001 shortly after my initial ISA detention which same year when we relocated dual of a sons to Manchester. Three years later, in November 2004, shortly afterMalaysia Todaywas launched, Marina as great as we finished a trip to Manchester together with a youngest, Raja Sara, to see how a boys were getting on. Were they happy in a UK? Would they similar to to stay upon or would they similar to to lapse to Malaysia? Could a youngest stick upon them after to go upon her preparation in a UK?
It was motionless which a pierce to a UK was viable after all. The young kids were fine with vital in a UK as great as we found which hold up in Manchester was sufferable sufficient as a hold up of retirement. Another 3 years later, in 2007, we paid for a family home in Manchester. There was no turning behind now. Come 2010, when we reach 60, we would pack a bags as great as build a brand brand new hold up for ourselves in Manchester.
The following year, in 2008, we was incarcerated underneath a ISA a second time. My sons longed for to lapse to Malaysia though Marina told them to stay on. The detention will not be forever. Probably in dual years time, by 2010, we would be released. We would afterwards stick upon a family in Manchester.
we was, however, expelled earlier. After usually dual months a court declared my detention bootleg as great as ordered my release. The Minister, Syed Hamid Albar, an old crony of 30 years, was outraged. They tried delectable my recover as great as when which appeared to go badly Syed Hamid signed a brand brand new Detention Order as great as longed for to catch me a third time.
This time we was n! ot start ing to get off so easily. Syed Hamid realised his inapplicable designation as great as he was not starting to have which same inapplicable designation again. He was starting to have certain which a brand brand new Detention Order was indisputable so which no court would find any loopholes to order my release. And which was when Marina motionless which sufficient is sufficient as great as demanded which we leave a country.
It was a week of fight as great as negotiation. Marina finally gave me an ultimatum. Either we leave a nation or else she was starting to leave me. She had had sufficient of pushing up to Kamunting every Saturday to revisit me. She was starting to leave Malaysia with or though me.
Finally we relented. We were starting to leave in or shortly after 2010 anyway. 2009 was usually a year or dual progressing than planned. What disproportion does a single year make? We left upon a Saturday night as great as by Sunday we were across a border. On Monday, a police arrived during my residence to catch me. We had finished it with usually 24 hours to spare. Our report was spot upon as great as we got out in a nick of time.
It took a month to sort out a writings so which we could transport to a UK. Finally, in Mar 2009, we arrived in Manchester. It was right away time to settle down in to a British way of life. We purebred with a NI as great as NHS as great as additionally purebred as a voter. We needed an identity, as we were still a non-entity.
The NHS sent us letters to go in for a healing examination. For women of a certain age they additionally offer to do a exam for breast cancer. Marina ignored a initial minute she received, as she did a second letter. By a third minute we swayed her to go in for a exam since it is free anyway. If not they competence keep promulgation her letters until she responded.
We drove to a place as great as they did a test. They afterwards sent Marina an additional minute asking her to go in for a so! me-more consummate test. They suspected she competence have breast cancer after all. My blood ran cold. we knew what breast cancer can do to a woman. we have lost sufficient friends as great as family members to which scourge to know.
Further tests proved which Marina did, in fact, have breast cancer. But it was still within theatre one-stage two. Hence a chance for liberation was good. They would need to remove a cancer by operation as great as thereafter put her underneath radiotherapy treatment. She would additionally need five years of medication, which would price a explosve in Malaysia though was free in a UK.
We met a surgeon who told us which it was propitious which they had rescued a cancer early. Hence Marina's chances of liberation were severely enhanced. It was still theatre one-stage two. If it had gone to theatre three, or worse, afterwards a chances of liberation reduces drastically.
If Syed Hamid had accepted a court's preference as great as had left me alone afterwards my pierce to a UK would have been delayed, during slightest by some-more than a year or even dual years. But since he longed for me behind in Kamunting he left me no preference though to leave a nation progressing than planned. And since of which Marina's cancer had been rescued substantially dual years progressing than it would have.
Cancer is about early detection. If we contingency get cancer afterwards better we know early since it increases your chances of survival. As predestine would have it, Marina's cancer was rescued early since we were forced to bring forward a plan to retire some-more than a year or dual years progressing than planned.
Yes, male proposes though God disposes. We can mental condition though not regularly do a dreams come true. My initial mental condition to float my motorcycle from Malaysia to a UK never came true. My second mental condition to retire in or shortly after 2010 as great as afterwards pierce to a UK once we am 60 addition! ally did not come true. Instead, it happened earlier, shortly after we turned 58. But it was not a single of choice. It was what we was forced to do.
On hindsight, Syed Hamid did me a favour. If he had left me alone we would have finished nothing. But if we had finished nothing would which have meant by a time they rescued Marina's cancer dual years after it would have been as well late? we suspect which is what predestine is all about. You never know. You can usually speak about blessings in disguise. You can usually speak about china linings in dark clouds. As they say: a Lord moves in mysterious ways.
