Since umi has started to get very emotional , umi wants to share umi's experience with another beloved soul in my life...none other than aruah tok wan.....he was the most understanding, caring and cool father.....
When umi was in primary school ( standard 1 - 3) he would without fail send and fetch umi to and from school....SK Jitra....if umi did not protest, surely he would send umi until standard 6.....but umi did not want him to do that coz umi already had friends......
One nite, umi took part in a school malam anekaragam...umi recited a poem.....after umi had finished presenting, umi came out of the hall, only to see tok wan waiting with nasi utk umi...Ya Allah...umi did not expect that ...maybe he thought umi would be hungry as umi went to school in early evening to prepare for the nite......
Then, umi continued studying at SMJ... since it was quite a distance, tok bought a new bicycle for umi...what really touched umi's feeling was that, tok never failed to wipe and shine the bicycle every morning before umi rode it to school....umi tau naik aje....
After SPM, umi got an offer to study in Canada....tok wan bought a very expensive digital citizen watch for umi....umi really valued it coz umi knew how much tok wan had to spend for that watch......
When umi delivered along...tok wan and tok went to Kelantan to look after along until umi got a sitter.....tok wan was the one who folded along's napkin....pandai tul.....siap letak plastik lagi ( masa tu disposable diapers x popular lagi)......tok siap complain.....masa dulu2 nak suruh buat apa pun susah takut orang kata ikut isteri....kata tok......( tok wan just sengeh aje)
Now, tok wan is not here for umi anymore.....but umi knows that his prayers are always guiding umi......and umi never fails to recite aL FAtihah for aruah everytime after prayers.........May Allah secure Tok wan's place together with the BEst of the BEST.........
Now, tok wan is not there for umi anymore

NOW AND THEN
Today, after fetching Atih, umi and akak went to Yawata...konon nak shopping....umi bought 2 shirts for abah...then akak wanted to buy pants and a blouse....tengok harga ngalah baju umi...but she was adamant about it so umi relented...but umi asked her to pay RM20...saja bagi dia rasa keluar duit sikit.....happilly we went home...atih also got one t shirt.....
Umi recalls when umi was 12, umi really wanted to buy a jean skirt.(masa tu trendy la)...the price was RM10 but tok was quite reluctant. at that time rm10 equals rm100 now....but umi did not budge...nak juga,nak juga....nak bergaya dpn cousin waktu raya nanti.....
Finally, tok paid for the skirt....umi was beaming with happiness....not realizing that tok had to sacrifice for umi....maklumlah tokwan cuma pesawah....duit amat payah at that time (1976).
However, tok, out of love, did not want to disappoint umi so she relented ,just like what umi did today for akak....history repeats itself.......
thats why umi has a very soft spot for children coz if possible umi does not want my children to suffer like what umi experienced....however, umi got undivided attention but my children have to share everything so it is only right if umi gives in a bit....tak salah kan....cuma umi tak ajar anak2 beli baju berjenama sebab nak ikut kawan...itu PANTANG.........if later they can earn their own money, they can buy whatever they want...but first....give a CRV to umi......ha ha ha.....(keeps on dreaming......)sekali semua tak sempat2 nak kawin....umi gigit jari........
