Salam and Good Blessing,
For most people the number 13 may represent bad luck or carry negative connotations...but the number 13 should really be a good number for me, although most people know my favorite number in 9!
yesterday, i chanced upon this thought of the number 13 and how it represents my family..i'll explain that later.
last night I was given the honor to arrange the logistic requirements for a middle eastern family from his apartment in taman seputih to kompleks yayasan aljenderami... his entourage was 23 people many...7 males, 14 females and 3 kids. yesterday just happen to be a bad day to arrange for public transport because protesters of ISA dominated the streets. but Alhamdullillah i managed to get 5 cabs ready to ferry them to our destination at the promised time (5pm) ...but this family was not ready at this time and after waiting more than half an hour...all 5 cabs left!...aduh!...dah la susah nak dapat taxi!
I had to practically beg the taxi operators to send another batch and by this time it was already 6 pm...nasib baik after much negotiating, dapat 3 taxi van to commit...but getting through the clogged traffic was not easy...the 3 cabs came around to their pick up points 30 minutes apart...when they finally moved it was already 745pm..from seputeh to kajang tol was about 30 minutes drive...and when we finally transferred them into YAJ transport vehicles...it was already 845 and almost half of the MAULID event at YAJ has already past...but we headed there anyway.
In the van, my guest from Mekah and I started small talk and he asked me about my family and how many children I have. and stuffs..i reciprocated his good intentions by asking him the same...his reply really shouldn't shock me but still, I had to reset my thoughts anyway...
"Alhamdulillah, this wife over here I have 5 children..." he said, it was obvious to me then he has more than one...(wife that is!)
some how this helped explain why we couldn't keep on time the appointment with the first 5 cabs.
i didnt continue to ask him further like who is who in the transport vehicles...i left it at that. He is a very nice man and seemed a caring and responsible family person...I am honored to have met him.
so what has the number 13 got to do with this weeks blog you may ask..???
i am very blessed with my 1 wife and 3 kids...its enough for me..ALHAMDULLILAH...am not saying it is wrong for others who are 2 and 9...or maybe 3 and 11 or 4 and 25!!!...but i love my 13!
