While umi is updating this, abah is talking to along, who tells abah that his turn will be on Friday, tomorrow, as scheduled. Umi and abah will not rest assured until we see along. what?cry? not yet...maybe when we see him..then only umi will burst...umi is still strongly holding on to the fact that along n frens are ok. Allah will guide them as they are doing fisabilillah....insyaallah they will be fine.
Tonight Bob and Eman spend the nite at tok's. last nite, akak and atih, umi is at home, just keeping vigil, waiting for news from along. umi is really thankful to all my children who are giving their full support to umi n abah. also to all frens and relatives who are praying hard for along's safety.
This CNY is just a break for us, as the news from Egypt is more important. Syukur along has enough money..he told us that those wanting to go back to Malaysia from Jeddah will have to pay for the tickets....what an absurd news...imagine those who do not have the money..what would happen to them? i just cannot understand why the government is focusing more on money in this dire situation...maybe they need more money for another election in Merlimau or giving donations to flood victims, or maybe because malaysian students are mostly Muslim Malays. some even instigate in FB that government should not help these students because they are opponent followers. they should not make a sweeping statement like that. imagine we still have these kind of people who would rather think about politic than helping their own brothers. downright selfish.....
Whatever it is, umi and abah are quite relieved, knowing that along is safe and sound. We believe Allah is more Powerful than ordinary people who are holding powers. So in Allah we trust......

Doaku Doamu
Noon news on TV3 reported that the evacuation of all Malaysians will take about 5 days, and the proses was very slow as the unrest in Egypt is getting worse, thus would slow down the whole thing.
Umi also read the newspapers, reporting the parents' worries and hopes, especially to those students who are staying in remote areas, apartments, houses as many run out of food. umi just cannot imagine why the Malaysian government always becomes the last hero when it comes to facing emergencies. there are so many red tapes, many plans, many excuses given, whereas the situation worsens. what i can conclude is, the ministers will definitely take prompt action if their own children are there, stranded in the land of chaos. surely they will not spare a second, coining the name of the operation. but now, after more than a week, then only their decided to make the move, slow move and now surely slower than before.
One more thing, they are facing mostly the Malays who are very patient and proper, always believe that the government will act fast.just imagine if other ethnics are involved...the plane will touch down even before the traffic controller realizes. i am not prejudice, but i learn from past tragedies that befell Malaysia.
My frustration level is up to the ceiling now...and i am pretty sure other 11,000 parents feel the same way. My heart really goes to female students who are left unattended in houses that are prone to break-ins and robbery and even physical acts. i try not to fall on my limbs, my knees, my everything coz i trust my son and his friends will be patient and safe. however, i cannot help but feel helpless and worried until i see him in person.
What tickle me to dry laugh is why we have to wait and wait until the situation turns for the worse, then only we try all our best to overcome the problem. imagine if the evacuation starts last week, surely by now, there will only be a few hundreds students left and not thousands....why we never wake up from our silly sleep and take a swift action whenever emergencies arise.
some people might say that i am emotional, but whoever is in my shoes will surely understand how i feel. i never question the move, but what i dont like is why so late.........so slow.....so heartbreaking......
