Week 44: Allah gives and Allah takes it away (Plus H2 is 15)

This week has thought me that this is the lowest of the low I can be and whatever happens next we just have to trust in Allah SWT to help us. Everyday I just doa to get myself out of this mess. I think I can do it but it requires some help. Ya Allah please help me. Losing my extra job really does take a toll on me but its okay. Rezeki is everywhere so don't stress out too much

Oct 28 (Death)

Oct 29 (unmemorable) 

• Today is going to be a busy day so bare with me. So after classes I got ready to teach a class of 80

• I wen tto the class with wife. Wife wanted to make sure that everyth ing was okay on my end. It turns out teaching 80 students (eventhough only 40 came) was quite easy. Wife took a picture of me teaching and showed my mom. She said I had a lot of real work experince but honestly I think I was just spewing nonsense most of the  time

• After class I send wife to her office because she had a meeting and I went to do some printing. They wanted to print some BTS thing to give to people this saturday. 

• Came back just in time for my other class. Teach them a short subject and then that when I got the bad news 

• So until futrher notice I can't continue teaching because I don't have my teaching permit. The only thing that is left for me to do is that make a medical checkup which I am goping to do tomorrow. The second bad news is that they over hire me to teach so I  have to let one of my subjects go. So that means I have to say goodbye to my students. I am quite sad that happens. It was never about the money. So its turn they say. Alah boleh tarik baliok rezeki in an instant and I have learn it right now. Am I sad.. yes.. I but do believe whatever happen is all parts of Allah SWT plan. I just got to trust the process. 

• Went to wife office to settle all the forms and then we went home to pick up H1 and H2 because H1 got teraphy 

• H1 teraphy last close to 2 hours becuse after 90 minutes of her. The doctor wanted to see us as parents.

• After thatr went to sleep only tot be awaken by H1 saying that she lost her medication from thehospital and she was crying wsince she don't know where it was. So wife and I had to wake up to find where is it. Good thing I can sleep back easily so that wasn't a big deal. 

• Tomorrow is another day.

• After that we went to Lalaport because they have a K-pop festival there. H2 join the dance challenge. Basically every minute they will change to a famous k-pop songs and everyone has to dance in sync with the chorus. H2 did know a couple of cool dances and I got the video to prove it

With that October is done and dusted. A lot of things happen. I manage to give Nd some more money after I said no. Lets see how November fares after this. She said she is going to help me but so far I haven't seen that in action. Its okay... Everything that is happenings is going to lead to something good. I do belive it. Next week since I am not working yet, I have nothing much to do but just English classes I guess.

Week 43: Somewhat uneventful I guess

 This week has been an unventuful week. I think I love more weeks like this. Nd asking me for money has been a norm but you know. This will be the last month I entertain. I am sad because I see it as an expire date but we will see what is going to happen next.

• In the evening Nd call me. She wants to be discharge but doesn't want to use my credit card to swipe. She wants to take cash out of hand. I am so confused on why she wants to do it. I question her and then we had a fight. I notice when she gets cornered to a question she will start blaming me for things that does not relate to anything. Anyway I gave her the permission to take money off my credit but I called the bank to make sure I can pay that right away. I don't know what is Allah test for me with her but I know I just should let it be and focus on my end prize. It is going to be okay.

• Bed at 1130. I really need to start sleeping earlier 

I have to teach a new class next week so that is going to be interesting. Other than that H2 will have her mid terms. I am still on 7 games which I think I won't go up to 10. It is just me or I am getting too lazy to play games. 

Week 42: Saying goodbye to Japan and back to life

Finally an end to my prefect vacation.  I don't think I will have another vacation like this in my lifetime. Maybe one day who knows Inya Allah. Allah is always giving me up surprises when I least expected. Other than that getting back into the groove of classes is going to take a while.

Oct 11

• Did some classes in the morning and then we decided to take the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) to the neighbouring town

• We took the subway to the central station and bought a return ticket to the next town which cost us around 8700 yen. I manage to eat a family mart sandwhich before going. They gave us two tickets and we assume that the tickets was one to keep and one to give. But it turns out you need to put two tickets in the machine when you are using it. 

• The Shinkansen was very fast. It was going 300 km/h and we reached Kitakyushu in 19 minutes. From there we walked around the area until we reach Kokura castle. It is a standard Japanese castle but we go inside 

• After that we walked near the riverbank and saw a lot of people doing a flea market on things. We decided to staop at a 7 11 for lunch again. Fish, rice and veggies. This time mom got a spoon. We sit beside the riverbank. Eating with my mom realised that this is going to be one of the last memories I am going to have travelling with her. I don't know if she is ever going to bring me again and I really am going to cherish this. She is 72 so she is not as active as she was before. I can see she is struggling when she walk. The heavy breathing and the weak joints. Hopefully she won't push herself

• We rode the Shinkansen back and then we went to art musuem near our house. It was free and there aren't a lot of art shown. After that we went to the hotel and mom was tired so she took a nap. I did some classes until 6pm

• After class was finish mom ask me to buy dinner at 7 11 again. This time I got some salad dressing as well as a miso mackeral which is good. After dinner took a shower and went to bed early. Quite tiring day. 

Oct 12

• Today is the last full day in Japan so lets get started 

• Did my monring classes as usual and then me and my mom went to the Hakata central station. First to get a refund on the bus tickets and second is mom wanted to buy some gifts for my brother and his kids. She ended up buy stuff from the Nintendo store. 

• After that we made our way to a Japanese curry place. That plce is so pack with only 8 seats and we were the first ones there. We order a chicken katsu and fried chicken curry. I took level 3 spice which is not that spicy in my opinion but my mom was sweating with the level 2 spice. 

• Then we went home, I took a short pit stop to pray after that I left mom at home while I went out again. This time my wife wanted me to find something unique from Pandora. 

• While I was walking there I got a text and call from Nd. First of all she is not okay. From the sounds of it, she sounds like she got kidnapped by her stalker and that person demand some money to release her. That isjust borderline a crime but she refuse to go to the authorities for it. Oh and her friend block me because I was pestering too much. She needed 1500 to settle the debt and I paid it. Hoping that this will all be over but no idea what will happen next 

• Bought the Pandora for wife. Japanese girl with Kimono and got a 1000 yen tax rebate. Came back to the hotel and did some classes before sending mom to the her hotel for her function

• I on the other hand had a date with ramen. This ramen is made entirely out of veggies. The way to restaurant is far and sometimes when I was walking there were no light. I wonder weather it was the right place that we went to. Eventually after taking 2 trains and walking I finally arrive only to find out that I need to wait in line behind 8 people. The wait took around 25 minutes and finally I got seated down. I got seated down at the bar and I can see the chef cooking the meal. I ordered the set meal which comes with sushi, ramen and a dessert as well as tea

• The sushi was made with vegetables. There is two tofu, one eggplant, one zuchinni, one mushroom (this one is delicious) and one carrot with mentaiko sauce. Everything was the chef grandmother's recipe. After that my veggie ramen arrive . Itwas granished with mushrooms and ginger and a very unique broth. It was delicious and ended the meal with a tofu matcha tiramisu. The whole meal cost 4800 yen. I was so full that I decided to walk 35 minutes + 7 minutes to my mom

• Reach my mom at 925 and then we came back. Took a shower and pack my clothes for tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be another busy day 

Oct 13

• Started the day off with some classes and during a 30 min break I went to get my last sandwich from Family Mart and eat it at the park 

• We left the hotel at 830 and we checked in around 930am. There is nothing much we can do but just wait 

• Nd called me this morning and I was so happy to get a call from her. We talked for a while and it was great. Miss her so much 

• The flight was a bit delayed so that means we arrived in Tokyo later than expected. I did manage to catch a movie (I fast forward the talky bits) 

• Tokyo was a madhouse. We didn’t know where to go and what to do. But due to my quick thinking of using Google translate I manage to ask the train staff to get us a direct train ticket 

• In the train we met another Malaysia girl who in fact was working here in Tokyo. Her Japanese friend help us navigate the train and told us just stay at this line and you’ll end up at the airport

• He was right but the train took close to 2 hours 5 minutes to get to the airport. Mom was really anxious. We were also packed like sardine because it was rush hour. She did told me that she was happy I came. At We finally arrive at the airport at 642pm

• My student Chisaki was waiting for us. We ended up talking for a good 20 minutes and took some pictures before we had to go inside. She did give us some Japanese sweet and tea before leaving 

• We manage to solat and go to the Japanese Lounge. I ate a lot of rice and fish with egg and veggies. Miso soup and mushroom soup with bread. I wish I could eat the curry but that is not halal 

• We made it our way to the gate and we had time to spare . Now we are just waiting to board 

Oct 14

• Ther fight was ok. Very uneventful. The food was okay not as nice when we came to Japan. Probably it is because it was made by the Japanese 

• The plane arrived super early back home. We were at the airport at 4am in the morning and we are the only one there. We needed to walk around 10-15 minutes to the main terminal. To make matters worse the train was not functional so we have to take the bus 

• We got our bag and left the terminal around 440am. Mom had to catch her connecting flight back home in the afternoon so I will have to go back home alone. We hugged and kiss and said goodbye. Mom was really happy I was here with her and the trip was great. Alhamdulilah. 

• I took a Grab back home and arrive at home close to 545am. H1 opened the door ad went back to sleep. I took a shower and then at 630 I was ready for class. Did around 4 classes. 

• After that I got ready for my online class. My student was late 30 minutes so I only could teach him around 45 minutes before ending the class 

• Nd call me twice this morning and it was great catch up. She told me she needs another 1500 because the guy that is blackmailing her needs more money. This is all in a means of controlling her. 

• After class I went to the bank to get 3k. half for her and half the living account since I took that money that day.

• I cooked some butter chicken for the girls. After cleaning the kitchen and doing my laundry I gave the girls my gifts that I bought them. They were so excited especially at the Pokemon cards. They straight away open the packs and each of them 4 rare cards each  

• I took a 2 hour sleep finally and then continue doing classes until the late evening. Played some Forza and then went to bed around midnight. 

Oct 15

• Came home took a shower and then did my online lecture. Students were always happy to see me 

• The haze is really bad right now that we can't see anything outside 

• In the evening did a couple more classes before finishing up forza. Callie was stuck in my room so she pooped on the bed. So I had to wash the bed sheets at night. 

• Slept close to 12. 

Oct 16

• Woke up this morning feeling excited because today I am going to meet Nd for the first time. So after classes I cooked her favourite meal which was ayam kicap 

• Nd called me that she was going to be stuck at court till 3-4 and I say its okay just come when you can. But later she called me that she will finish at 7 and said that the person that we supposed to meet will meet her at the city instead. So what turned to be a something excited died down and I can't meet her again 

• Just did classes, took naps, went friday prayers and today I slept super early. I did manage to finish some Forza but I didn't had the mood to play games. 

• Wife was not having a good vacation. Nobody is listening to her on what she want. To make matters worse everyone is complaining that her wheelchair is heavy. She was crying a lot during this trip since she wasn'tt enjoying herself. They were supposed to fly out tomorrow at 6am but I got a message at midnight saying that the flight was delayed at 3pm the next day and they won't arrive untill 10pm. They decided to go to a hotel but they couldn't check in to rest. 

Oct 17

• We arrived at the airport at 930pm and went to eat some McDonanld while waiting for wife to come out of the terminal

• Nd called me at mnidnight saying that she needs to be warded because her blood pressure and her blood was not well. But her office GL won't approve her claim. So she needs to pay a deposit of 3K in order to get a room. I had to courier my credit card to her. I trust her enough knowing that she won't screw me over. 

• Finally I got to sleep at 1:30 only to wake up 3 hours later. This is going to be along day   

Next week is back ot normal for me. I have a lot of errands to run this week. Hopefully I can check up on Nd at the hospital but we will see how it goes.

• Did lots of classes in the morning and after that cooked some chicken pot pie 

• It has been a while since I cooked pie and it turned out spectacular 

• After lunch took a show and nap

• After that did more classes and then played more Forza and Batman 

• Nf went on his first date and it was interesting. She got a Star Wars picture book from the guy which I found hillarious. She hasn't been feeling the spark yet so I told her to go on more dates. 

Sept 21

• Did classes in the morning and after that I was thinking I am going to work later 

• At around 1030  I got the message that I am going to work and I have my first class at 12. 

• Got ready and went to class. Wife came with me because she needs to help me set it up. We went to the room and turns out that I am going to teach only 1 student. He was a 19 year old boy. I am teaching introductory to business. Since he is the only one. We end up sitting down rather than standing up when teaching him. The class was okay and I manage to talk non stop close to 90 minutes.

• After class took wife to the hospital since she has physio and then pick up H2 from school. We had fish and chips for lunch while waiting for wife to finish

• In the evening bring wife back to her uni because she had class and had dinner at q bistro. Had my soup and tosai again

• End the day with some Batman and then check the notes for tomorrow's class 

Sept 22

• No english classes today in the morning. Since its a long holiday in Japan, most people are probably sleeping 

• Went to groceries and cooked some chicken kurma and veggies 

• Today is my second subject Introdution to Computing. It's a basic subject but I have 4 students. The same student from yesterday and 2 international students with 1 female local student. The student was okay except one. He wasn't listening that much so there is nothing much I can do about it

• Pick up H2 and wife and had lunch at around 3pm

• Did more classes but there is no one coming to classes which is very concerning 

• Did lesson for tomorrow and then study for tomorrow. 

Sept 23

• This morning after my classes which the attendance was less than good. I went to class at 945am since it starts at 10. The student was 10 minutes late but we manage to do a good lesson as well. It didn't help when some contractors are coming to the class to do some audit or what not. 

•  After that I had to go to the city to get wife's prescription from the doctor and get the medication from the clinic. All of that took me around 2 hours 

•  While driving I got to talk to Nd. She was feeling sad because her friend that was supposed to pay for her car didn't pay for 2 months and now she is getting a warning letter from the bank. She needs RM16k to settle it with the bank. I said okay since she said the moment her sister can make a loan she will replace the money. Let's hope. I notice that this has been the biggest challenge in my life. They did say that Allah will challange you on something that you value the most. I just have to have tawakkul and we know things are going to be ok 

•  Took wife and went to eat some ayam gepuk for lunch and after that pick up H2 from school

•  Came home and took a nap. Nobody came to class until 730pm until 9pm. After that I had to clean the kitchen since it was a mess and then I went to sleep but not before my wife was upset that she lost the cat earbuds that I bought for her. We finally found it behind the bed. 

Sept 24

• After sending wife to work I went to the bank to take out 16k for Nd to settle her car payments 

• Cooked some mushroom pasta today

• Did my classes and it was good. All the students were engaging and I did manage to ask them to present before the class was ending

• Other than that came home did more classes and played some Batman. 

• I was really exhausted so I went to bed super early which is at 10

Sept 25

• Today is aFriday so I don't have that to go to university. So did the normal morning classes and send wife to work 

• Went and bought ingredients to make some mushroom soups and chicken cutlet. 

• After cooking took a bath and went to pick up wife. We had lunch at the mosque. 

• Send wife back to work and then find the bedsheets to put in the room. 

• Pick up wife and then continue to do classses and dinner and ended the day with playing some Forza 

Sept 26

• Today I did a lot of classes. 

• After that I went to the mall with wife. We had Xinjiang chiense food for lunch. It was not bad at all 

• Went to find a bag but in the end we couldn't find what we are looking for 

• Ordered some cookies and donuts for dessert and then we went home
