All Muslim boy are required to get his tip off. I did mine when I was eleven. It is not the best experience but for sure it is very memorable one.

The question raised even before Kimi was born. Should or shouldn't we circumcise Kimi.

I always pro Kimi being circumcised early while he was young and know nothing about pain. There are many of reason for it and one of them is hygine. A circumcised penis does not collect any white stuff underneath the foreskin like an intact penis does. At least there is one less area to wash in the shower. I bet you most uncircumcised boy (and men) don't even bother to wash this area and it totally unhygienic.

Ajan on the other hand, against the idea. She can't bear the pain that young Kimi will bear. She event cried when the staff in Pusrawi make a tiny cut at Kimi's heel to get his blood for testing. Another reason is Kimi won't be having his Khatan kenduri later. It is not such a big deal but Ajan want Kimi to have his 'a step to manhood' ceremony.

At one time, I'm agree with my wife not to cut Kimi's tip off. The fact that there is still not many baby being circumsized these day make me feel OK with the decision. At least, when he grow up, he will be the same with most of his peers.


But that decision has changed. We were advised by Kimi's pediatrician to circumcise him. The reason, there are many bacteria in Kimi's urine and it doesn't sound good. So we made appointment with Dr Zul and Kimi will get his tip off tomorow!
