When I was born, some people from Malaysia laughed at my parents for naming me ‘Omar Mukhtar’. According to them, it was a backdated name. They said, “You live in England, why would you give him a name like that?”. The funny thing is that living in England, none of the local people who lived here ever made fun of my name, even at school, students and teachers alike. My parents call me by my full name ‘Omar Mukhtar’, or ‘Mukhtar’ for short. I did choose to be called ‘Mukhtar’ at school too, because ‘Omar’ is also my father’s name and it could get confusing. Even though my friends and teachers found it hard in the beginning to pronounce the name ‘Mukhtar’, they didn’t choose to call me ‘Omar’ just because it was easier for them. They all respected my decision and tried their best to pronounce it. They never call me anything I didn’t want to be called.
I love how my parents named all three of us – Omar Mukhtar, Fatimah and Ali. They didn’t simply just say, “Ooh, ‘Omar Mukhtar’ sounds like a nice name, I’m going to call my son that” no, they named us after the owners of the names, hoping that one day, we might become as great a person as they are – Omar Mukhtar, after the famous Lion Of The Desert; Fatimah, after the beloved Prophet’s daughter; and Ali, after the 4th Caliph. Our parents always reminded us how important our names are and that we must live up to them. They also told us to be proud of our names and never be ashamed of them, even though some people say they are old-school.
Truthfully, I am proud to be named Omar Mukhtar and I respect my parents for naming me and my siblings with such great names - I owe it to them!
Happy Namesake Day,
Omar Mukhtar a.k.a. The Pawsome Lion

p/s: If you can learn to pronounce Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin and many other brand names correctly...then I’m pretty sure you can easily pronounce Omar Mukhtar, FATIMAH and Ali correctly too!!

He is only 12 years old...but he has done a lot for me and our family. I can still remember when my health took a turn for the worse a few years back, he was still so young at the time. Yet he told me not to worry and promised me that he will do anything and everything for me. And yes, he did keep his promise...
.
I will never forget how he took turns with his dad to read to me everyday. I will never forget the way he brushed my hair. I will never forget the way he fed me food. I will never forget how he insisted to help me to type my words coz he strongly thinks that I should keep on writing no matter what...
.
But since his Mamajee passed away, half of him was lost. You must’ve have noticed that most of things which we shared in the past was written by him - our very own writer. Like I always said, he was #BornToWrite!
.
Unfortunately he’s been struggling to express his thoughts into words...
.
I then made a promise to myself to be his lost voice. I made a promise to myself that I will carry on writing like he has always wanted me to do. I made a promise to myself to be the light that will guide him back to his old self...or perhaps to his newly found him...
.
And tonight, as he was going up to bed...he finally told me and his dad, “I’m gonna start writing again!”
.
Welcome back son,
Mrs Mom

p/s: Dear Mukhtar, if you’re reading this, I want you to know that I will never forget every little thing that you’ve done for me...not only those which I’ve mentioned above. I promise that I will never forget them...ever...till my last breath...

Tonight, we were discussing the differences between the things God and man made with Fatimah and Ali. Well, Fatimah’s actually mastered this topic a long time back, but Ali’s still just a little bit confused with it! When he made the point that God made brownies, we told him that He didn't. He got upset at this, and after a good deal of explaining what brownies were, he finally accepted the fact! Thank God! 😅
.
p/s: Hmm, I wonder…if God did make brownies, then they must taste amazing! 😋

This was me exactly two years ago, when I first stepped foot in King Edward’s School for their open day - my ‘Harry Potter stepping into Hogwarts moment! I can still remember the 10-year old me, so wonderstruck and dreaming that I would one day be a KES boy...and two years later, by God’s grace, I’m one of the students studying here at KES! Obviously, my journey to become a KES boy wasn’t easy. There was a lot - and I mean a LOT - of hard work along the way. But of course, on top of all that, I could never have done it without the support and prayers of the two most important people in my life: Mrs Mom and Mr Dad! And above all, I am beyond grateful that my mother is still here to witness it all. May God grant both of my parents long, happy and healthy lives so that they can witness many more of my achievements to come...InshaAllah!
So guys, if you have a dream, wake up and run. Don’t run away. Run after it! Never stop chasing your dream!!
Blessed,
Omar Mukhtar a.k.a. @thepawsomelion

The wait is almost over...just a few more tweaks to make and my first book will finally be published! I’m so excited to be able to share this venture of mine with all of you. It’s been a long road, but with the guidance from my family and the support from everybody, I’ve been able to make it this far! Stay tuned for more updates on my book - COMING YOUR WAY VERY SOON!
Suko Do’oh,
