English Potluck...Again

 Today, our unit decided to have another round of end of semester potluck,since this is exam week, most of us are very free. See we got chicken, sardine, brushetta ( yg sayur tu, Nana masak this Italian food), rebung curry, dal, serawa labu, bread n eggs, so many types of curry, rice, cakes, papaya, beehoon and fried mee...n plus ntah whatnot that i could not mention all here....

 See, our invited guests, Nora ( Economy) and Zuraida ( Dinamika) also joined our merry breakfast cum lunch.   brunch la kot.

 Our KU, Nana, Yong, Yanti, Farah and not to forget urs truly Ummi Aziyan

Ai...more coming...good the more the merrier, the faster the feast shared. i just hope this will last until lunch so that we dont have to go out....still go but to CMart to do some more shopping for rations......

Flood Ration

Today, upon arriving home, i immediately alerted abah, asking him to send me to Yawata because i wanted to do some shopping, preparing for the oncoming predicted inevitable flood that is claimed to hit our country within this week..Ayish's Dupro, beehoon, instant mee,sugar, flour, milk, sardine, coconut powder, the frozen stuff, bread and finally the bill came at rm261....ha baru puas hati......alamak i forgot eggs.

The cloud already turned dark and intimidating when i finished paying for the groceries. I was very scared that the rain would come again...prayed that our place would not be visited by the flood....last year's experience taught me a lesson. Even though our house was  not affected by the rising water, the surrounding roads and town were badly destroyed. So this time, i must be more prepared to avoid the same difficulties in getting the food ration for the family.

But, what worries me the most  if i could not go to visit  my mom if the roads to her house are cut off...sapa nak jenguk dia. My brother in Taman rasa Sayang is surely nervously waiting for this moment as his house was badly hit by the murky water as his house is near the river.  This time, he already added another floor of his house, so hopefully he will be able to rescue his belongings before the flood comes.

Since Thailand is now facing a very serious flood problem due to stagnant water, somehow, they might release some to our country and if so, Changlun,, my workplace will be first affected. Luckilly we will have  a two week break, so that could give us some peace of mind.

However, we can only prepare,predict, but Allah knows the best. if the rain comes,, then it will come and no  matter what we do, we can never escape from that. just pray hard that we will be protected from the harm and serious mishap.....doa banyak-banyak ye kkwan.

Weekend Chores

Friday morning, was already outside, again burning the dried leaves and grass. Sweating in the morning is really good if one wants to maintain health.  Then, back to kitchen work...well what did i cook eh?  hahaha something really smelly but really terangkat one....sambal udang n petai...i normally cook this on weekends, weekdays ..nono...pengsan students nanti...plus masak lemak kobis and fried chicken...enough to make a simple yet delicious lunch....

After eating, i prepared another round of lepat pisang, making full use of the balanced  bananas.  At 4pm, i was already at tok's. Wanted to burn the leaves again but the wind was blowing quite hard so i cancelled the plan...at 6 i returned home, watered my plants and ready to prepare dinner...ala leftover from lunch only....nevertheless the tiredness took the better of me so i turned to bed early....after coaxing alin n ayish to do so...

Saturday morning, after watered the plants again ( now the weeding is done by pak long, abah's elder brother who is also at home, accompanying mak ngah) and off i went to  wet market, since eman called saying he was coming home. He likes ayam masak merah so i would prepare that for him...ish i also wanted to make some rendang since the nasi himpit was still there.

Upon returning home, i immediately busied myself in  the kitchen,  interrupted for a while when my neighbour, Ya and Liza came to visit mak ngah. when they left, i continued cooking....nasi tomato yg tak berapa ada tomato, ayam masak merah, sausages ( tak masuk dlm menu tapi biar pi la), rendang ayam and nasi himpit. Hmmmmmm sodap.... after zohor i baked banana cake...belasah aje ikut resepi sendiri....nasib baik ok, walaupun tak segebus yg diharapkan.

After asar, sent eman back to his school and stopped by at KMK to give atih some rendang. Went to pasar malam to get some fried chicken for dinner...lauk tadi suma dah bagi kat eman n atih.  after maghrib, ate leftover rendang n whatever bought by abah at pasar malam. Then ironed baju kurung n now after isya', i felt slightly relieved....then only can update blog....ginile hidup ku.... 

Lepat Pisang

Ayoyo, today umi manyak busy, dari subuh hingga isya'....well apa ummi dah buat?...pas subuh, dok sat terus keluar cabut rumput n bakar sampah...then masuk buat air kat  mak ngah. bagi roti gardenia aje 2 keping. kan mak ngah kena pantang... then, umi n abah pi market, beli lauk sikit, nampak ayam kampung rm15 seekor, terus beli. balik abah tolong cuci n sebab pastu abah nak ke ofis buat kerja yg tak pernah habis tu.

Umi tengok pisang awak ada setandan, semua dah ,masak, nak buat apa ni? kali ni umi mesti buat juga lepat pisang yg umi dok berangan lama dah tu...so umi suruh bob balik kampung amik daun pisang....bob terus pi dan balik dgn kata: Ummi, tok tak percaya umi leh buat lepat pisang...ye la, seumur hidup, umi tak pernah buat, sebab umi bukan suka makan....tapi kali ini ntah angin apa, rasa nak try gak.

tapi sebelum tu umi masak nasi lembek dan buat sup ikan haruan kat mak ngah dulu. mak cik yah datang utk  membantu tapi umi kata takk pa . biar umi buat. bila hari umi kerja, mak cik mai tolong masak. so diapun kemas2 rumah dan umi masak. then buat kari ayam...dah bob tak makan kari ayam kampung, umi masakkan sardin kat dia. itu aje resepi ringkas sebab hati umi dah tak sabar nak buat lepat.

jangan ingat buat lepat aje, sebenarnya sebelum itu, umi dah buat puding roti pandan resepi dari Home Sweet Home....senang aje...kukus dan tinggalkan. sementara itu, umi layur daun pisang dan blend pisang...tambah ramuan sikit sebanyak...bermulalah acara membungkus lepat, alin tolong letak atas daun, umi balut......thenn, sebaik saja puding masak, letak pulak lepat.

Oiiii.....jadi rupanya lepat pisang aku, umi sungguh gumbira....sedap pulak ( ayat puji diri)....alin dah makan 5 bungkus.....sedap la tu.....akhirnya menjadi juga .......pudingpun leh tahan gak........hehe ayat puji diri lagi.After lunch, umi rehat sat, at 4, pak ndak n mak ndak mai lawat mak ngah....so umi apa lagi hidangle kuih tadi.....then, at about 6, jiran2 pulak datang menziarah...jamu lagi....tapi sementar tu....umi dah buat pulak bingka pisang......jadik juga.......so hari ni umi dah buat 3 jenis kuih.....itu satu perkembangan baik sebab sebelum ini, acara kukus mengukus kuih tidak pernah wujud dlm kamus kehidupan ummi. Terima  kasih kepada Ina yang memberi hadiah pengukus ini agak2nya 3 tahun yg lalu....dan semangat memasak telah ditiup oleh Ustazah Nashitah......

pas maghrib, umi ke rumah tok pulak....kesian nak minta pak ndak lagi sebab dah byk malam dia teman tok.

sampai aje umi bagi lepat kat tok...tok kata ingat hang buat pulut pisang....alamak pulut pisang pulak......mana nak reti lagi.takpa,esok ummi serve  internet pula cari  resepi....tok kata sedap...yahoo, lepas sirim iso tok.cuma tok kata buatle bagi besar sikit, ni lepeaq semacam saja, buat rugi daun pisang. ai mak kan toke daun pisang, apa gaduh.

umi terus cuci apa yg patut n now baru leh rehat.kaki dah nak tercabutt ni.....sapa nak tolong urut ???????

Kes Di Wad...sambungan

Alhamdulillah, pembedahan kakak ipar ummi dah berjaya dan insyaallah dia akan pulang ke rumah ummi petang ini. pengalaman 2 malam 1 hari menemani Kak Ani amat memberi erti yang bermakna dalam hidup ummi kerana tanpa kita sedari rupa-rupanya terdapat pelbagai kes penyakit yang dihadapi. Sekiranya para doktor dan misi dapat memaparkan kepada umum, maka banyaklah manfaat yang dapat dipelajari oleh manusia alam sejagat(ntah bahasa apa ni)

Oleh kerana ummi adalah seorang pemerhati tekun maka ingin ummi kongsi sedikit cerita di wad agar ianya dapat dijadikan teladan atau sempadan atau sekadar ilmu pengetahuan.

Kita mulakan ye:

Kes 1.

Seoarang makcik yang punya ramai sedara mara yang tak pernah miss mengunjunginya setiap hari, sehingga menimbulkan kesedihan kepada kami sebab kak Ani rasa kesunyian tanpa suami dan anak...hanya keluarga ummi yang ada.

mak cik ni datang dengan 2 jenis penyakit, darah tinggi dan kencing manis, datang kerana ovarian cyst di 2 belah kanan dan kiri. sebaik saja diperiksa, darah naik 200 dan tanpa disedari juga mengidap penyakit jantung tahap 2. Pembedahan ditangguhkan dan dia akan di bawa ke Penang utk rawatan selanjutnya.

Namun, mak cik ni nampak ceria selalu kerana sentiasa dirai oleh anak cucunya. suaminya dari Lubuk Merbau pun setia bersama. Tapi yg kureng sikit, ummi tengok anak cucu mai ramai2 dan makan segala jenis makanan depan mak cik ni yang dah 2 hari berpuasa. kami yang melihat agak terkilan di atas ketidakperihatinan ini, kalau lapar sangatpun, sabar la, makan dibawah atau diluar.

Kes 2.

Seorang budak perempuan sekolah menengah yang comel, dan sentiasa memakai tudung labuh ( kebanyakkan pesakit tidak endah hal aurat ni, majoritinya ) sentiasa senyum walaupun sakit selepas pembedahan cyst juga, kerana period yang tidak tetap dan berlanjutan. Ibunya seorang guru sekolah di Sungai Petani, mengajar petang, memandu jarak jauh semata2 utk menemani anak di waktu malam. Ummi amat terharu melihat betapa besarnya kasih sayang keluarga ini. ayah dan kakak sentiasa ada ......bertuah sungguh.

Kes 3.

Juga seorang remaja perempuan yang akan bertunang pada 11.11.11 dan dijangka berkahwin pada 12.12.12. ( semua ini diceritakan oleh kakaknya, berlainan bapa tetapi beribu yang sama ,pada malam kami berjaga)...pembedahan secara tebuk 3 lubang, pembedahan kali kedua dalam masa 2 tahun. tahun lalu cyst sebesar 3cm kali ini rasanya 4 cm.....ibunya berumur 47 tahun ( sama macam ummi) dah mempunyai 5 orang cucu tapi masih maintain. tapi sentiasa pening kepala semasa menemani anaknya dan dia menceritakan kepada ummi ( ummi tak korek pun) bahawa dia berasa sakit di bahagian bawah ketiak, seperti ada ketumbuhan yang keras dan semalaman dia tak tidur sebab sakit. dia juga takut nak buat pemeriksaan selanjutnya tapi rasanya dia tetap kena juga. Itupun dia kata nak tunggu anak dia keluar dari hospital dulu.

Kes 4.

Seorang isteri dari Pasir Puteh yg baru berkahwin dgn orang Kedah, membantu suaminya berniaga, disahkan hamil 2 bulan semasa sedang mengambil ubat utk thyroid...doktor menasihatinya supaya buat abortion. Semasa umi balik tadi, dia sedang menanti saat nak sakit selepas dimasukkan ubat( ummi tau bagaimana sakitnya)

Dia berjemaah isyak dgn ummi dan pagi tadi meminta kami berdoa utknya. Dalam salam tadi umi memberi semangat kepadanya dgn berkata, kita hanya berdoa dan berserah kepada Allah, rezeki sentiasa ada. patah tumbuh hilang berganti.

Kes 5

Seorang wanita 50an yang menemani ibunya berusia 70an yang sakit apa umi tak berapa tau, tapi kena letak uncang pundi kencing kat luar. Semasa solat subuh, umi dapati dia bersolat dalam kegelapan, dan sesudah itu dia menceritakan kepada ummi( juga tanpa umi paksa) bahawa ibunya selalu merungut mengatakan bahwa dia tak pandai letak uncang tu, sebab tu selalu bocor....walaupun dia dah belajar dari doktor. Dia berkata ibunya ada juga diambil utk dijaga oleh kakaknya yg bekerja lalu hanya membiarkan Indon menemani ibunya. walaupun uncang tetap bocor tapi ibunya tak pernah memarahi kakaknya....masyaallah.....ummipun pujuk dia, rezeki akhirat, kata ummi.

Kes 6: Kes Lawak

Selepas solat maghrib semalam, umi di stop oleh Subject Kes 5, menanyakan umur umi, umi anak sulung ummi, so dgn jujur selamba umi habar la....ropa2 dia nak cari menantu, ish bukan nak amik ummi, tapi anak ummi...dia kata tengok mak dia baik, pi sembahyang selalu, tentu anak2 diapun baik.....ummi dah nak terguling gelak ( campur riak) sebab ada juga orang yang berpendapat sedemikian di jaman moden ini.so ummi katala, anak ummi ( akak le tu) masih muda, baru 20 sedangkan anak dia dah 32, pemalu ada phd tapi tiada gf....ummi cuma geleng kepala. 

Namun begitu ummi syukur kerana masih ada ibubapa yang mementingkan agama dalam memilih jodoh. itu adalah amalan biasa bagi orang dulu2. dan umipun pernah menasihati anak2 supaya memilih jodoh yg beragama ( hai semua orang ada agama) yes...tapi yg memegang amanah agama dalam kerja buat. dalam hati, ummipun getar juga sebab rasa anak2 masih banyak yang perlu dipelajari mengenai agama...ummi dan abahpun masih merangkak dalam mendalami ugama.....

Itulah sedikit sebanyak pengajaran yang ummi dapat selama berada di situ....selepas ini ummi akan jaga Kak Ani di rumah, kena belajar jadi misi, kena banyak sabar, kena ikhlas dsb. mungkin ini masa terbaik utk ummi membalas jaga aruah ibu mertua yang banyak berjasa kepada abah dan ummi. doakan kami ye. Salam.

Penunggu Ward Kenanga 2B

Yesterday, my sis in law underwent an operation to remove her ovarian cyst which she had been suffering for a along time.she is a childless widow who has nobody to look after so abah n ummi are in charge.she was wheeled into the operation theater alone as i was syill working n abah could not enter womens ward.we only got to see her at 6pm,a few hours after that.


Pity her, she cried after the drugs wore off.well everyone would.i spent the nite monitoring her,kesian nak tinggai.she complained of back stiffness,due to tiredness n the pain.at 2am i asked the nurse to give her the painkiller,which helped both of us to be able to sail the wee hours through until 5am.

At 6, i went for subuh prayer n she was given a very good attention by the nurses.the doctors,expert n old,young n novice came to cheer her up.THey showed the picture of the cydt.mak datuk besornya.no eonder she was in constant pain. The doctors were all very accomodating,joking among themselves.well,i could pick up some of the funny stuff. I guess that is how they try to reduce the tension.i was imagining Along to be one of them,hehe.kak Ani had a slight fever,but her bp kept dropping from the shocking 180 to 140.her morning started eith some spoonsfull of bread n plain water,luckilly she took them very well as some might vomit.

Tak Leh Lawan Mak

Ni sapa ni dok layan ayish makan kitchen chop ( dia punya bahasa dah). mana umi? umi dok di depan tengah layan mee udang. yg dok susah payah potong ayam ni ialah mak pengasuh ayish, Pn Suwaibah, seorang  ibu yang cukup dan amat baik. yg tak dak tolok ganding bandingnya.  Dah 6 tahun dia jaga ayish dari dalam lampin sampai la...mana tak sayang si budak ni kepada mak dia.

hai, ummi tak jeles ke? uish nak jeles apa. umi syukur sangat anak umi dijaga oleh mak yang penyayang macam ni. sesekali umi test tube gak ayish dgn soalan yg begini:

antara mak dgn umi, yg mana ayish sayang?

Ayish agak keberatan nak menjawab, takut2 umi kecik hati kerana baginya dia amat kasih pada mak dia.

so dia jawab, mak ayish sayang, umi pun ayish sayang...jawapan yg selamat.....

Umi tak kisah apa yg ayish kata kerana kebenarannya memang mak dia yang layan dia habis riang, suapkan dia nasi, mandikan dan comelkan dia, hantar dia pi sekolah, jalan kaki lagi. so memang tak salah ayish rapat dengan mak dia.Umi sedar dalam kesibukan, umi seringkali abaikan ayish. bila ambil dia, terus balik rumah, dia dah keluar main dgn alin. malam aje kami dapat bersama. then tidur. awai pagi at 7 dah terjenguk kat rumah mak dia. terus dia tunggu mak mai angkat dia dari kereta dan mak akan wish dia Good Morning dan dia peluk mak terus masuk dlam rumah. kekadang dia bye bye umi dari kat grill aje. kalau orang lain tentu sedih kan. tapi umi sebaliknya, kerana umi syukur anak umi dijaga orang seorang yg bertanggungjawab dan ayish tak akan lupakan umi walaupun dia sayang mak dia.

Entry ini dibuat pada malam ayish pi tidur rumah mak dia, dia kata nak jaga mak sebab ayah pi Gunung Jerai. bertanggungjawab gak budak kecik ni. Tapi kata dia, pukul 8 esok dia dah nak balik....umi tak kisah......

40 +7

Today, i turned 47, quite a big number already so the  whole life process will be in big numbers. I baked 2 chocolate cakes after about 20 years not rajin enough to do it, but last nite i just closed my eyes n whipped up these. one for family n one for friends....looks and taste yummy.

 

This cute lady Intan Sofrina also also celebrated her sebeday together with me, but she is slightly younger by 16 years. She brought ( only brought not cooked this delicious yellow glutinous rice plus chicken curry. by now she  is already sailing with her also cute hubby to Andaman Sea by Star Cruise. I can only see the stars.

Awat pulak gambor ni bosar semace aje...sure nak focus muka aku bagi nampak bosar.......ish.....

Check this out...Intan, Liza, Zu, Mila and Nora, all tak sedar sedar makan sampai terbelahak 2, 3 kali.. Then depa gaduh tak larat nak bangun. salah siapa  kah ini?

Two birthday girls ( mak ggirls) joined the ever happy group.

We are happy to see our friends happy. at least we managed to make them...chubby he.and i maintain........

Mom Vs Mom

Last night umi managed to get in touch ( by accident) with a teacher friend who used to teach music at SMK Tunku Sofiah  back in 1998.  Last time,we  teachers had to share tables with other teachers who taught in the afternoon. so this man teacher would come in the afternoon and we used to talk before i left the school. Then, he did his masters and he got a place in maktab perguruan Arau, the same time i got the transfer to matriculation college. so we went separate ways.

When we chatted last nite,, he told me that he is taking care of his 84 year old bedridden mother, and being the only child, the whole responsibility is his. He told  me that he does everything: washing the clothes, cleaning his mom, changing diapers, the chores that i normally think only done by women.  He hires Indon maid who looks after his mom from 8.00 - 1.00 and after that he is in charge. Well, maybe some think where is his wife. if memory serves me right, i still remember that he also has a disabled child and i am sure his wife has to care for the child too.

Learning about his situation makes me think how lucky i am, as i still have other siblings to help me looking after my mom. To add to that blessing, my mom is still independent even though she cannot  move much. i only help with the washing and cleaning. Cooking is mostly done by my sister in law and my brother sends food everyday. Thus, i am not alone. But thinking about my friend, my heart really goes for him as he is alone and he said sometimes his frustration gets the better of him. i can definitely understand that...because one must be very patient when dealing with the elders, as sometimes, they just focus on their problem, and we as children must control our emotion, really really compose ourselves, if not we will face a very frustrating time, not because of the burden but more because our failure to understand what actually the elders want. So that is the main challenge.

To add to that, i also read the post by Diari Hatiku ,highlighting the everlasting love of a mother even though the children neglect her till her death. the only one who loves and remembers her is her own husband...so touching.... I feel so sad thinking about children who somehow forget to spend their precious time with their parents....so to those who still  have parents, pick up a phone and make that valuable call, or even better, take a day or two off and return to where you actually belong - your parents' house.

MUET MANIA

Muet mania is back and my students are practically sleeping and eating in English, sharpening their tongue, sort of, trying to argue, or win the argument in presenting their points. it is indeed a healthy practice, the only nerve-wrecking, tensed moment for them as before, they just ignored our incessant pleads, demanding them to converse in English. Now they know  the high low of the sky ......

My own two children are not spared from this, Bob, returning to UIA today, just to sit for this test, tomorrow, the 18th  and Atih, here in KMK,  biting her nails, waiting nervously for her turn on 19th .  Bob managed to try once with my students last Thursday and i honestly think he can do it, provided he follows my techniques.....just dont try to puji-puji examiners dah le...stick to the rules Bob. As for Atih, i really leave her to her Sir to guide her.... she does not want to try out in front of me coz she said she is already good How i wish i could believe that.

Insyaallah, all my students will fare well ( not farewell) in all their papers, be it PSPM or MUET.  I have done my best to prepare them for this battle of wits, now they are at the mercy of the examiners. God's willing, they will succeed, insyaallah.

Mengail Lagi

Tak Sanggup Dengar

Khamis yg lalu, kak Su, pengasuh Ayish telah mewakili umi ke tadika ayish utk ambil kat kemajuan dia.
sebaik sampai, Cikgu Fauziah menunjukkan kad ayish. maka berlakulah perbualan sebegini:

Cikgu:  Ni kad kemajuan Faris Akmal. kali ni faris dapat no. 7.
Faris :  Cikgu, pasai apa saya dapat no.7?     dulu saya dapat no 3( penggal pertama).
Cikgu:  Sebab faris tak dapat markah tinggi dalam Matematik dan English.( markah 80 lebih aje).

Ini lah soalan yang tak sanggup di dengar oleh mana-mana cikgu kerana sebenarnya cikgulah yg sepatutnya bertanyakan soalan seperti di atas. nampak gayanya ayish telah terkehadapan.......

Baked With Love

 Semester 1 is almost over and the students are now busy practising their speaking for muet test...i have given them the best and i know they will try their level best. while doing this, i baked 6 chocolate cakes for my 4 classes 1 for mentee and 1 for friends. shown here is my S2T2A.....

 Looks tempting right...well for ummi, this is delicious enough. dont compare with all the taikos as they have been baking for years. only only started this week after stopping doing this for about 20 years.

 My S1T1A....came to claim their share...luckily they performed well in their speaking.no doubt they are good.

 Sharing the empty plate?...Jun Kai the naughty, happy go luckily plump guy from Penang. ada ke patut dia pangge umi Kak Yan...nak kena budak ni.

 The last 2 , with different topping.....hmmm.......

 This was taken with S1T1B, another interesting class...i learnt a lot about them ....

 Enjoy yourself......sharing is caring

The final group S2T6B , the girls came first, waiting for the ever late boys to join. i like them all coz every single one is soooooo special. My prayers are forever with them, hoping they will become successful in whatever they do......

Susahnya Menjaga hati

Susah hati umi bila memikirkan pasai hati ni. pasai apa hati ni susah sangat nak jadi baik, nak jujur dalam kerjabuat, nak lembut supaya tak terasa hati, nak jaga supaya tak memberi masalah kepada orang lain.

memang ajaib kalau umi dapat mendidik hati ini jadi sejuk, redho, tenang dan aman dalam menjalani kehidupan.

Sebabnya hati umi selalu berbolak balik, tungging buyung, kucar kacir bila memikirkan pelbagai hal yang mesti ditempuhi. mengapa mesti hati ini risau, gundah gulana, sebak sebu dan dup dap dup dap bilamana diberi sedikit ujian.

Nampak gayanya hati umi belum bersih, belum clear, belum terubat, belum mantop, belum sedia, belum yg segala-galanya belum. Jadi sebab itulah segala macam perasaan pelik yg umi rasa, yg umi tekan dlm hati , yg umi simpan dalam hati, yg umi selalu ambik hati.

Macamana nak bagi hati ini bersih sebersih bersihnya. pakai sabun apa boleh jadi hati umi suci sesucinya?  tepuk dada tanya selera, tekan hati tanya sendiri......

Nah, bila umi belek, bila umi kaji, bila umi muhasabah, bila umi renung, baru umi sedar bahawa utk menjadi hati umi suci, bersih, line clear, umi cuma ada satu jawapan iaitu:

IKHLAS

Memang senang nak bagi jawapan tapi nak praktik tu yang susah. apapun umi akan cuba yang terbaik utk menjadi seorang insan yang sentiasa IKHLAS.

Kembali dan Berganti

 Biar gambar berbicara, menjelaskan peristiwa yg baru berlaku pada petang Jumaat 6 Oct. jam 6 petang di KLIA.

 Sementara menanti check in dan kawan along dari Kelantan sampai, kamipun posing dulu.

 Angle ni tak elok, tapi kami amik juga sebab along nak sembunyi tummy dia yg dia claim tak gemuk tapi baju yg dia pakai yg menjadikanya begitu. kami ikut aje le

 Control along control, tapi Bob selamber aje walaupun dia 2 x 5 = gemuks.hahahaha

 Perasan tak, dalam semua gambar ayish asyik jelan lidah aje....dia kata sakit lidah....pasai apa tak tau.

 Tiga beradik memosing tanpa disuruh sedangkan sebenarnya umi nak amik view KLIA.

 Ada nampak macam umi dok termenung dak, sedih sebab along nak balik ke sana semula.

 Along kata dia suka shot ni, ala ala kontrol macho gitu.....nampak lebih ke ustazan dari bakal doktor.

 Lagi ngan adik2 pompuan dia yg amat banyak menerima jasanya dan memberi jasa kepadanya dlm urusan penyediaan baju utk along....walaupun berbayar......

 Ait ada lagi.....yg tak dak ialah Eman yg tak dapat ikut sama kali ini.

 6 orang saja kelihatan. ayish dok selindung di atas troli tu...diselindungi oleh grey jacket tu....

 Ni lebih clear sikit walaupun ayish tetap terlindung.......awat Bob com semacam ni.....

 Ni shot sebelum along turun ke bawah....mesti ada restu dari dua orang ibubapa yg AMAT penyayang dan understanding...chewah.....umi dok kontrol x mau nangis n berjaya kali ini...itupun sebab along tak buat ayat syahdu macam ni: umi, abah,, halalkan segala makan minum along, doakan along berjaya dunia akhirat. kali ni dia dah tau yg kami tetap berdoa utk dia dan adik2nya walaupun tanpa di pinta.yg tetap tangkap leleh air mata ialah alin(pelakun tetap) dan atih yg tetiba teringat kisah dia pi qiamullail di Masjid Muttaqin dlm bulan puasa, dan diminta keluar oleh petugas di situ sebab hari dah malam.....takpa..niat tetap ada.

 Shot terakhir sebelum acara slam  salam menyalam bermula.

 Tak ketinggalan gambar dgn kawan along, Dini dari KB....dua-dua membawa pesanan dari kkwan di Mesir. walaupun lebih muatan, alhamdulillah dek niat yg ikhlas, mereka selamat...di Bahrin, transit 11 jam, dapat lak tidur hotel....

 Satu lagi................ok dah. cepat turun nanti banyak lagi checks di sana.

Hehehe....along pergi dgn gumbira kerana telah selamat melaksanakan tugas kepada keluarga, terutama dalam mengambil giliran menjaga tok. sekarang tugas akan digalas oleh Bob sehingga Feb 2012. Umi dan abah amat berterimakasih diatas pengorbanan semua anak yg tidak jemu menghabiskan masa cuti di rumah sambil menjaga keluarga.tiada balasan yg dapat diberi oleh umi dan abah, cuma doa yg berterusan agar hidup mereka semua diberkati, dirahmati dan diselamatkan dunia dan akhirat. Amin.

(By the time this entry was published, Along safely arrived in Egypt at about 7.30pm....alhamdulillah.

Belum Sampai Seru

Pagi tadi umi buat lawatan ke Tabung haji, Jitra.....tentu ada sebab kan. sebaik masuk , terkejut seketika sebab ramainya pelanggan, terutama warga tua ( i know i am also old but not jaded yet) yg sedang buat urusan terakhir sebelum berangkat ke Tanah Suci Mekah utk urusan haji....Umi sayu melihat makcik2 berpelukkan dgn gumbira sambil bercerita tentang keberangkatan mereka. pasai apa umi sayu....ye la, depa ke tabung haji utk urusan buat haji tapi umi ke sana sebab urusan keluar duit dari tabung haji, satu satunya tabungan yg amat umi sayang....tapi apa boleh buat, duit tu bukan rezeki umi seorang  tapi utk keluarga.

sebaik no 051 dipanggil,umi terus ke kaunter 4 yg di urus oleh seorang pegawai yg agak lanjut usia. dgn lemah lembut dia memproses akaun umi. sambe tu umi tetap menjeling2 pelanggan lain, ntah kenapa tetiba umi ter blurt soalan:

Ada berapa agaknya duit saya? terus dijawab oleh pegawai itu dgn pertanyaan; tolak gaji ke?

Umi jawab ya tapi saya anak ramai .......dia seolah2 faham kemaslahatan umi terus dia  kata:

tak pa, nanti bila sampai umur  50 ke atas, bila anak2 dah besar boleh la pi haji.

Umi merah muka menahan sedih, pegawai tu pun naik hairan. agaknya tentu dia tertanya2 apa sebab umi sedih sangat. dia layan cakap lagi sebab dia tau umi dah naik malu..ye le...ramai lagi orang kat belakang. tapi umi tak le menangis teresak-esak macam dalam filem tu.

Sebaik umi dapat duit, umi terus ucapkan terima kasih dan berlalu dgn pantas, terus keluar dan call abah.

sementara tunggu abah mai, umi dah tak tahan air mata, ai dia keluar juga so dok usha sorang2 layan air mata dgn tisu...konon2 kalau orang nampak macam le umi ni selsema....ha lawak gak kalau difilemkan..... bila abah sampai umi cerita kat abah, nangis lagi dlm  kereta. terus abah kata: nak buat camana, kita ada banyak tanggungjawab. umi angguk setuju tapi ntah kenapa hati rasa sedih sangat.

Umi tau umipun bukan ready lagi nak ke Mekah tapi bila tengok wajah2 ceria mak cik2 yg dapat pi tu, umi rasa, subhanallah, begitu suci, syahdu dan mulianya pekerjaan haji ni, sebab tu ada kawan sorang tu yg nak pi mekah kata: saya ni, badan saja ada di sini tapi hati dah di sana. memang umi faham sangat2.

 

Ntah mengapa umi tangkap syahdu sangat, agaknya memang betui kata kawan2, umi dah tua, so fikiran umipun telah beralih arah ke arah amal ibadat. Syukur, dgn penambahan usia ni, umi  dah semakin hari semakin berubah. Moga Allah sentiasa melorongkan hati dan fikiran umi ke arah kebaikan, insyaallah.

Harapan dan nasihat umi kepada kkwan yg dah cukup segala syarat, dan masih muda belia, janganlah dilepaskan peluang ke tanah suci....buat cepat2 kerana bukan senang nak jadi tetamu Allah. Grab this rare chance. Hidup kita hanya sementara. Duit boleh dicari tapi haji yg berkat, belum tentu hak kita lagi.....

More of Ayish's Antics

Situation 1.
We just left A.Star Tesco after having dinner there. The food court serves sumptuous food such as chicken chop (ayish), fish and chips ( Alin), Bihun sup tulang (umi), popia ( abah), mee udang ( atih) and apa2 aje ( adik).... the moment we left the place, ayish already started to request:

Ayish:  Umi, ayish dahaga, ayish nak ayaq.....
Umi  :  Mana ada ayaq, tadi kan baru minum...
Ayish:  Ala umi, ayish nak ayaq.....
Umi  :  (Geram) kalau camtu minum ayaq lioq.....kita tak mau berhenti dah.
Ayish:  Hmmm tak mau, ayaq lioq tak sedap...................................

( ha habis cerita padan muka umi, nak pekena ayish konon.....dapat jawapan camtu terus lidah kelu)

Situation 2:
Last nite,we went to Sentosa ( our place for handset gadget n bowling).
Umi just changed the housing of Nokia E75, the one left by Bob as he took my N75....dah terkopak tepi dia so i changed a new one for rm125.....at the same time asked for my new Experia to be checked coz it was forever heated. Ala ala komputer lak penyakit dia.

On the way back, ayish started to ask:
Ayish: Umi bila lagi ayish  nak sunat?
Umi ( dlm hati awat tetiba dia tanya soalan ni lak)...terus jawab : 5 tahun lagi.
Ayish:  Ala ayish tak nak le ....sakit.
Umi:  mana ada sakit, macam semut ketit ( gigit) saja.
Ayish:  Kalau cam tu, umi ambik le semut letak kat tuut sekarang ...nanti tak payah sunat dah.
Umi  :( sekali lagi lidah kelu utk berkata.....awat le hang ni ayish suka psyco umi. kalah..kalah...kalah.)

This is Ayish my last son who never fails to test my intelligence being a mom.....
