Hellooooo..

I'm back online from my nest.. such a spacious studio, thanks to Australian Open.. all standard rooms are taken!!

My trip started FANTASTICALLY!! why? was supposed to fly on business class (which is already superb).. but my seat was upgraded to 1st CLASS!!! walawehhh.. this is something which might happen once in my life!! everything, from greetings, services, seat, meal, snacks, my own private 'suite' are all 1st class.. they do reflect their PRICE!!!

i was abit dub dab dub dab, anxious abt getting thru immi & custom.. Alhamdulillah, i passed all checkpoints without any fuss.. i just kept on smiling, hoping tht being nice wud lemme off their checkings!! yippiee.. it worked..

my arrival time was ard 1.55 am.. by the time i came out from the arrival hall, it was ard 2.25 am.. luckily i've made earlier arrangement for chauffer pickup.. or else i wudnt know where to head to.. the airport is very quiet..

my driver came ard 5 mins later, then off we gooo.. it took ard 20 mins to reach the city..

Vibe Savoy Hotel.. yeah, i'm staying here at this mom.. for the next weeks i guess.. :-)

ok, till next time.. tata!!

10 cent

2012-01-11T17:46:00.001+08:00

Apekah value 10 sen kat korang? Wht do think 10 cent can do now? Mesti ader yg ckp, "ala.. takat 10 sen.."

Last week my dotter told me, "mama, tomorrow i need to pay 10 cent to my class teacher.." the 10 cent is for the timetable.. ok laa, maybe there are people like... ala, seposen pon mintak.. but, we nvr know the teacher situation kan? maybe dia kene photostat not only the timetable.. ader benda lain skali ker...

Anyway, back to the story, i told syasya to use her pocket money.. helloooo.. duit belanja 2 hengget.. bkn habis pon... 10 sen pon nk mintak mama.. dia xnak okehhhhh...

kesimpulannye: adik kemutttt!! hahaha

Melbourne...

2012-01-10T12:52:00.001+08:00

Helloooo...

Where is Melbourne? What is nice in Melbourne? Is it easy to find/get halal food in Melbourne?

Well, I've done my research (errr.. in abt 5 min time :P)...

Melbourne is the capital and most populous city in the state of Victoria, and the second most populous city in Australia. The Melbourne City Centre is the hub of the greater metropolitan area and the Census statistical division—of which "Melbourne" is the common name. As of June 2009, the greater geographical area had an approximate population of four million. Inhabitants of Melbourne are called Melburnians. Melbourne City Centre is also known as Central Business District (CBD)..

It will take us 8 hrs by flight from KL to Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne.. The city is ahead by 3 hrs from Msia's time..

Fortunately it's quite easy to get halal food there.. thx to Mr Google for all the info.. ;-)

Will let u guys know wht are interesting there soonnnn.. ;-)

ps: credit to wiki for the info & pictures..

Point of view

2012-01-08T10:11:00.001+08:00

Sometimes we do have our own point of view.. That applies to others as well.. Like old peeps said, "Rambut sama hitam, hati lain2"..

For myself, at certain point, i'll just do wht i think is right.. lantak laa aper org nk kater.. it's hard to please everybody.. the best thing is, do wht is best for you!!! :-) wht u think can make u happy...

Have a blast Sunday all!!!

New place, new challenges... Sad beginning...

2011-07-24T20:52:00.004+08:00

Hello peeps,

How are you feeling today? Hope everybody has a great weekend and ready for a fresh new week tomorrow :).

Just a quick update, I am in Algiers, Algeria now. For those who is uncertained on the location (I was one of those previously :P), Algeria is one of North African countries. Located in between of Tunisia and Morocco.

At this moment I am still staying at a hotel, until admin found a suitable apartment for me. So, below are pictures of my current nest, Hilton Hotel Algiers.

I have been here since 11th July 2011. My trip was postponed for few times due to some business and also personal matter. At first I was supposed to come somewhere in May, postponed due to project request. Then 04th July, also postponed due to another project request in KL. My trip was then scheduled on 08th July.

On 07th July evening, hubby received call from his mom saying that ayah (my father in law) was not well. We immediately packed for 3 days 2 nights, told maid to get ready, me put whatever important to bring for my trip (which I had quickly decided on my own to postpone to uncertain date).

We reached Muar around 11.30 pm. Ayah looked very pale and thin. We went back somewhere in June, he was in better condition at that time. Mom was waiting for his brother, Ayah Man, to come, trying alternative ways to help ayah.

In the meanwhile, I made a call to Algeria. I asked my PM for postponement. Gladfully, he agreed. I changed my flight ticket from 08th July to 11th July early morning. Then I quickly sent emails to my local manager and travel agent for necessary arrangements on my flights etc.

The next morning, ayah still refused to eat. We tried to persuade him to take his oat and water. I asked hubby to pull ayah, and let him sit in front of me, hoping it would be easier for him to eat while sitting instead of laying down. It did help. Ayah managed to finish 1/2 bowl of quaker oat, drank almost 1 cup of water/tea.

That afternoon, hubby and his brother, Aloy fetched Ayah Man from Kluang, around 1 1/2 hour drive from Muar. Me & the kids just stayed at home. Went out to Guardian to get ayah Enercal Plus. That evening hubby & Aloy brought back hospital bed for Ayah. It would be easier for mak to feed ayah.

Saturday morning we moved ayah to his new bed. He looked fine. Able to eat and drink. When I asked, "Ayah, do you want to drink?".. He would nod. After finishing his cup of drink, he would say, "aaa..." Ayah Man massaged ayah for 3 days in a row, and his condition became better.

Sunday morning we went back to Shah Alam, after ensuring that ayah was in a better condition. He was eating and drinking more than we first arrived on Thursday night. I kissed his hand and cheek before we went back home. That very night, I left for Algeria.

I arrived in Algeria around 7 pm Malaysia time, it was 12 noon in Algeria. After traveling more than 15 hours, my room was not ready. I waited for almost 1 hour, before asking the receiption again about my room. The moment I get into my room, I was so exhausted. I arranged all my stuffs, cleaned up, and ready to get online. I spent around 4-5 hours sitting on my bed, checking the internet speed, getting frustrated on my netbook!!, then knocked off.

The next morning, Tuesday, before I left for office, on my very first day, hubby called me. He said ayah could hardly breathed. He was rushed to hospital by ambulance. Again hubby, kids and maid rushed back to Muar. Ayah was admitted to ICU, put on life support machine. Doctor said ayah also had diabetes, which none of us was aware of. He was put under observation for 5 days. Only Allah knows my feelings at that time. My prayers were always with ayah, hoping for the best for him.

Wednesday before lunch time in Algeria, around 6 pm in Malaysia, hubby called me. The doctor asked for consent to stop ayah's life support machine, less than the expected observation time they had given earlier. I know how hubby felt at that moment, but both of us understand, maybe that was the best for ayah. He had been illed for quite sometimes.

After Maghrib 13th July 2011, ayah left us forever. He was surrounded by all his beloved families. His wife, children, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. I wanted to go back. I spoke to my boss, wanted to speak to my PM. But hubby said don't need. He is fine, insyaAllah he could manage with the help of others. Alhamdulillah Allah bless us with big families and caring relatives.

Ayah that I know, was a sporting father. He used to spoil his kids with whatever that they like. After we got Irfan and Syasya, he often bought them clothes. Everytime we go back to Muar, there must be something he bought and kept for them. Not only for them, he even bought me a sweater. Whenever mak is having hard time with my maid, ayah would be the one to calm her down. Thinking of ayah, reminds me of his baju melayu. Every year, alhamdulillah without failed, we prepare him a pair of baju melayu for Eid. And for this year, his baju melayu is still with tailor.

Now ayah is no longer with us. InsyaAllah, he is at a better place now. Although I was not next to him when he dies, but I am glad that I had chance to see him before I left. I am glad that I had chance to feed him, I am glad that I had chance to kiss his hands, I am glad that I had chance to kiss his cheeks. Al Fatihah for arwah ayah!!

Love,
Intan

Happy birthday my dear.....

2009-11-17T06:43:00.002+08:00

Salam...

This entry is specially dedicated to my better half, my best friend, my soulmate.. My feeling cant be described into words, for not being able to be there with him.. on this special day...

But deep inside our hearts, we are always closed.. In our mind, keep thinking of each other..

He is the man of my life... he is the papa of our little angels.. he is our light.. he accepts me with all my good and flaws.. n' i am accepting all about him.. he always says we have to improvise ourselves with things around us... that's how we build our lives together...

And today, I am praying for his health.. his success.. may Allah continue blessing us with mercy, happiness and joy...

Abang, Happy 34th Birthday!!!

Love,

Ayang...

Salam...

He was sick for quite sometimes... He was old.. Could not speak properly.. He could just say and remember 'MAK' during his last few months.. His eldest son was invited by Allah 2 years before him.. was quite a shocking incident to us... n' now, he is no longer with us.. he was invited by Allah last Thursday..

the last time I met him was during Eid Fitri (which I am glad tht I did go to visit him)... visited him for 2 reasons.. first was of coz hari raya.. 2nd was due to the fact tht his condition was deteriorating.. due to my long-away-from-home assignment, i was afraid tht something bad might happen while i am away.. which happened to be, my instinct was somehow correct...

when i met him somewhere in May/June this year, he was ok.. he could walk.. he could eat.. he could smile.. he could talk.. n' he could remember at least his mum, wife, kids, bros & sisters...

during Eid Fitri, he could no longer sit.. he could no longer eat solid food.. only porridge.. eventhou small piece of chicken or potatoes, could make him choke.. mak long is a strong woman.. i saw her treated pak long with her love and patience.. insyaAllah, Allah will pay her back for all her good deeds toward her husband..

Biar laah pak long aman di 'sana'... I didnt have chance to see his face for the last time... but, my prayers will always be with him...

Al-Fatihah for arwah pak long, Allahyarham Ramli bin Baba.....

Perginya Tak Kembali

2009-08-14T19:43:00.001+08:00

another lost for us.. he left us at an early age... moga arwah dimasukkan dikalangan ahli2 syurga.. AMIN....

Pergi Tak Kembali

Setiap insan pastikan merasa
Saat perpisahan terakhir
Dunia yang fana akan ditinggalkan
Hanya amalan yang akan dibawa

Terdengar sayup surah dibaca
Sayu alunan suara
Cemas di dada lemah tak bermaya
Terbuka hijap di depan mata

Selamat tinggal pada semua
Berpisah kita selamanya
Kita tak sama nasib di sana
Baiklah atau sebaliknya

Amalan dan taqwa jadi bekalan
Sejahtera, bahagia pulang...kesana

Sekujur badan berselimut putih
Rebah bersemadi sendiri
Mengharap kasih anak dan isteri
Apa mungkin pahala dikirim

Terbaring sempit seluas pusara
Soal bicara terus bermula
Sesal dan insaf tak berguna lagi
Hancurlah jasad dimamah bumi

Berpisah sudah segalanya
Yang tinggal hanyalah kanangan
Diiringi doa dan air mata
Yang pergi takkan kembali lagi

Al-Fatihah utk arwah Ustaz Asri Ibrahim..

Will be bussyyyy

Bring down the barrier....

2009-07-08T03:52:00.003+08:00

It's reaching 12 midnight.. i'm still wide awake.. normally during this time, i am already in my bed.. with my book.. or my dvd... but today is exceptional... i've never thought tht i would really stick in front of the tv... stuck on the sofa.. watching CNN since 9 pm.. until now... staring on the screen...

i was nobody to him... so did him to most of us... but we do know him (not personally thou).. we were brought up with his music.. n' i'm sure millions of people will forever remember him... he was magnificent... he did magic with his music & dance, no doubt abt tht.. n' as i am watching his memorial, i could see how people... from different kind of races... all over the world, are also grieving for him.. he really did it!!

the feeling tht i'm feeling now, was exactly the SAME feeling tht i felt 10 yrs back.. frankly, i'm not a huge fan of him.. but, i've to admit tht he was different.. he was special.. in 1999, when i was at college.. i remember watching one of his europe tour concerts on tv.. i watched it together with my friends.. i was stunned.. his performance was superb.. i saw the audience were all crazy abt him.. it's still very clear in my mind, a scene where a lady was crying... she was too happy n' excited, i guess... since tht, i told myself.. one day, i would go to his concert... looks like my dream will always be a dream... :(

he was supposed to start his comeback concert on 13th July.. n' i knew he could do it... they called his PLANNED comeback tour THIS IS IT!! n' yes, it issss.. tht's it for him... anyway, without him being alive.. i'm sure his songs will never die... let's not his hopes die... he already initiated something... let's bring down all the barriers tht we have between us.. let's look for the woman & the man in the mirror... so tht we can heal the world... n' it would be a better place for us........

Heal the World
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords
Into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me

It has been 3 years since the day she left us.... memories with her, are still in my mind... from time to time, i do miss her... her laughs.. her chats... i didnt know her for long... we became close after i join the family.... she was like a mum to my hubby.. even we called her mummy...

The day when she left us.. happened on the very same day we moved to D'House (when i was a digi-zen).. 30.06.06 .. it was friday... around 3.XX pm.. i got a call from my SIL.. "kak intan.. mummy dh xde..", she said.. i was speechless.. i could not remember wht i replied.. but the 1st thing tht i did, i straight away went out.. called my hubby.. it was very hard for me to tell him the news.. i knew it would be hard for him..

I asked for early release... went home.. changed my clothes.. n' quickly drove to HUKM, Cheras... i told my parent abt the news.. abah works there.. he was already there when we arrived.. i went into the room.. men were not allowed, so hubby waited outside.. her kids were there too... they were in the middle of kapan kan jenazah (covering the body with wool and white cloth)... i cried.. i lost someone so close to me n' who was a mother to hubby...

Before they covered her up, turn by turn, people went n' kissed her.. i kissed her.. n' went to hubby.. he went in, recited Al Fatihah, n' kissed her.. in a haste, he went out... i followed him... he was at a corner.. facing wall.. cryinggg... tht was the 1st time ever i had seen him cried tht way...

Death is something tht we, people, could never avoid... each one of us, would definitely die.. it's just the matter of how and when...

Al Fatihah for you, Mummy.... you are dearly missed by everybody... n' i'm sure your 3 angels are those who miss you the mostt!!

Cheers,
Intan...

AP Source: Michael Jackson dies in LA hospital

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY and DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press Writers Nekesa Mumbi Moody And Derrik J. Lang, Associated Press Writers – 1 min ago

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted "King of Pop" who emerged from childhood superstardom to become the entertainment world's most influential singer and dancer before his life and career deteriorated in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. He was 50.

The person said Jackson died in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.

Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

His 1982 album "Thriller" — which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" — remains the biggest-selling album of all time, with more than 26 million copies.

He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters.

His single sequined glove, tight, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance.

As years went by, he became an increasingly freakish figure — a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grownup life. His skin became lighter and his nose narrower. He surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, often wore a germ mask while traveling and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions.

In 2005, he was cleared of charges he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003. He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him. The case took a fearsome toll on his career and image, and he fell into serious financial trouble.

Jackson was preparing for what was to be his greatest comeback: He was scheduled for an unprecedented 50 shows at a London arena, with the first set for July 13. He was in rehearsals in Los Angeles for the concert, an extravaganza that was to capture the classic Jackson magic: showstopping dance moves, elaborate staging and throbbing dance beats.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital as word of his death spread. The emergency entrance at the UCLA Medical Center, which is near Jackson's rented home, was roped off with police tape.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Jackson has just died," a woman boarding a Manhattan bus called out, shortly after the news was annunced. Immediately many riders reached for their cell phones.

In New York's Times Square, a low groan went up in the crowd when a screen flashed that Jackson had died, and people began relaying the news to friends by cell phone.

"No joke. King of Pop is no more. Wow," Michael Harris, 36, of New York City, read from a text message a friend sent to his telephone. "It's like when Kennedy was assassinated. I will always remember being in Times Square when Michael Jackson died."

Malang tak berbau....

2009-06-09T15:29:00.002+08:00

hello...

i was reading Hmetro online when i see this news... i could not imagine how the mother is coping with the situation now.. it must be very very very hard for her.. n' i'm not blaming her also.. this incident could happen to anybody.. even us... :'(

From Hmetro:

Ibu meratap tergilis anak

KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang ibu hanya mampu terduduk dan meratap hiba di sisi mayat anak perempuannya apabila kereta dipandu dikatakan mengundur sebelum menggilis badan kanak-kanak berusia dua tahun itu, malam semalam.

Dalam kejadian kira-kira jam 11 malam di rumahnya, di Kampung Malayu Subang di sini, wanita berusia 30-an itu dikatakan tergesa-gesa mengundur kereta masuk ke dalam garaj tanpa menyedari mangsa berada di belakang.

Menurut sumber, dalam keadaan kelam-kabut itu, wanita berkenaan segera memberhentikan kereta untuk membuat pemeriksaan selepas menyedari dia melanggar objek.

“Mangsa tidak menduga objek itu anak perempuannya yang tersepit di bawah kereta berlumuran darah serta tidak sedarkan diri dipercayai akibat cedera parah di badan.

“Melihat keadaan anaknya yang tidak sedarkan diri, dia cuba mengeluarkan mangsa tetapi gagal,” katanya.

Dia yang panik selepas melihat keadaan anaknya menjerit akibat gagal mengeluarkan mangsa selepas beberapa kali mencuba.

Jeritan wanita itu mengejutkan suami dan ahli keluarga lain yang bergegas membantu.

Jiran serta orang ramai yang menyedari kejadian itu mengangkat kereta berkenaan untuk mengeluarkan mangsa dan usaha selama 10 minit akhirnya berjaya.

Sejurus dikeluarkan, mangsa dibawa ke hopital berhampiran bagi mendapatkan rawatan. Bagaimanapun, kanak-kanak itu disahkan meninggal dunia tidak lama kemudian.

Difahamkan, mangsa dikebumikan hari ini di Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kampung Melayu Subang.

Sementara itu, Ketua Pollis Daerah Petaling Jaya, Asisten komisioner Arjunaidi Mohamed ketika dihubungi mengesahkan kejadian itu.

“Kami belum dapat memastikan bagaimana kejadian itu berlaku berikutan ibu mangsa masih bersedih dengan tragedi itu. Kami juga tidak mahu menyalahkan sesiapa bagaimanapun wanita itu akan dipanggil untuk diambil keterangan.

“Semuanya bergantung kepada hasil siasatan yang dijalankan mengikut Sekyen 41 (1) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan,” katanya.

Hrmmm.. once i'm back might be i will tell hubby not to park our car inside the house anymore.. :( ... we never know wht might happen.. these kids, they r very young.. n' not wise enuf to be aware of danger...

Heart of Steel by Manowar

2009-06-05T13:46:00.002+08:00

ello peepss...

i've been looking for this song for ages.. i know this song when i was 16 yrs old.. years back @ my high school.. frankly speaking, i dont know much abt manowar.. this is the one & only song tht i know.. hehehe.. i think i like the lyrics...

Heart of Steel

Build a fire a thousand miles away
To light my long way home
I ride a comet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone
I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand Im alone

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
Im not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
Theres only one way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path
And cut each others throats
Will fall like melting snow
Theyll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
Theyll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then well laugh and they will kneel
And know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to hold

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
Im not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

i have mp3 version of this song... errr.. but i dont know how to upload it here.. :D.. thx to hubby for helping me finding this mp3.. **muahhhsss**

:( i really cant wait to go home.. i really miss hubby & my kiddies.. they r my angels... luckily internet is up now.. and i hv been on webcam with my kiddies since this morning.. i woke up this morning n' saw missed call on my skype from hubby.. i called him back via skype..surprisingly, my kids answered my call.. hubby left notebook on with logged in skype ready for me to communicate with my kids.. irfan knows how to answer skype call.. n' i told him to click on 'Start My Video' to activate the webcam from their side.. wallaa.. now we r connected..

we went there for breakfast.. arrived @ the entrance around 7.50 am.. had to show booking letter.. we were allowed to drive our car across the bridge towards the man-made island.. valet-parked the car.. then we entered the building...

a guy stood at the entrance.. welcomed us with full plate of dates.. the dates were very nice.. he asked which restaurant r we going to & showed us the direction.. we were quite lost.. but managed to find our way to JUNSUI restaurant located @ Ground floor....

a lady greeted us at JUNSUI's entrance.. n' started to show us ALL foods served tht morning... their buffet spread was splendid... wide varieties.. n' lastly she led us to our table.. luckily sha asked for window seating.. :) nice view there..

we were more busy taking photos rather than eating.. hehehe.. but we really had good times during our breakfast.. the service was 1st class (suit the price)..

around 11 am we left the restaurant n' heading to 27th floor to take photos from top of burj... you may find all photos taken during at that time at below link..

Matter of Heart
Text from Mak on April 27, 2009

"Nanti bila Mak n Abah dah sampai rumah, jangan tanya Abah pape tau. Abah menangis jegh sepanjang jalan ni.."

Orang kata askar ni keras, garang. Yer, Abah sememangnya garang. Kami adik beradik semua dah merasa penangan tali pinggang askar Abah yang tebal tu. Tapi hakikatnya, Abah kat luar jegh nampak garang, tapi bila masuk bab-bab family matters ni, hati Abah hanya sekeras kaca. Pantang dihempuk, pasti berderai pecah. Itulah Abah yang aku kenal. Sejurus sampai, aku jengah Mak kat bilik and tanya pasal Abah. Mak cakap, sepanjang-panjang perjalanan, airmata Abah tak berhenti-henti menitik. Abah drive straight dari Kedah ke KL, tak berhenti even satu hentian pun. "Yela, Abah tengah sedih lagi tu. Siapa tak sedih, adik sendiri meninggal..", sambung Mak. Even masa hari pengkebumian arwah, Abah was the last person to leave the cemetery. Kata Abah, "Abah tak sampai hati nak balik sebenarnya. Bukan apa, kan malaikat Munkar dan Nakir akan mula menyoal selepas 7 langkah orang yang terakhir tinggalkan kubur seseorang tu..". Sekali lagi Abah sebak..

Malam tadi sempat berborak sekejap dengan Abah, Abah cakap Abah terkilan tak dapat turunkan arwah sama-sama sampai ke liang lahat, sebab setibanya Abah kat tanah perkuburan, kubur arwah sudah separuh dikambus tanah. "Abah sampai sama-sama dengan kereta jenazah time tu, cuma lewat kejap nak cari parking. Sampai-sampai, tanah dah separuh. Rezeki Alang kot, dipermudahkan bahagian dia. Semua urusan cepat jegh. Masa mandikan jenazah pun senang, badan arwah terkulai lembut jegh. Muka putih bersih. Tapi tu la, orang lain (bukan adik-beradik) semua Abah turun sampai ke liang lahat, tapi Alang...". Abah dah tak mampu nak teruskan kata-kata. Dalam diam, Mak angkat-angkat kening, signal supaya topik tu tak diperpanjangkan lagi. Aku paham, Mak just tak mahu Abah sedih.

Aku teringat masa mula-mula Pak Lang admitted kat kampung. It was two months ago. Time tu Abah baru jegh hantar Pak Lang balik kampung sebab Pak Lang ada checkup kat HUKM if I'm not mistaken. Then a few days later, Mak Tok telefon Abah bagi tau Pak Lang admitted. Aku ada terdengar Abah cakap kat Mak, "Biarlah Norma dengan Ani pulak yang balik.", and Abah terus masuk bilik untuk solat Asar. But then after a short while, I've heard Mak was comforting Abah.. yes, Abah was crying. And I? I just couldn't help but cry when I overheard the convo between Mak and Abah. I don't even dare to get out from my room at that time. It really broke my heart seriously, sayu rasa hati mendengar Abah menangis.. airmata aku mula menitik laju. How I wish he will be doing just fine, how I wish I could do something to ease his burden.. how I wish *sigh*.
An awkward moment it was...

Dari-Nya kita datang dan kepada-Nya kita kembali
innalillahi wainna ilaihi raaji’unn
Al-Fathihah buat Allahyarham Pak Lang
Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya dan semoga Allahyarham ditempatkan bersama kalangan mereka yang beriman.

for me, personally alang was also exactly the same like abah.. both of them look very fierce.. but have the same kind hearts.. 1 memory tht i could not forget abt alang is he helped me do my standard 3 (or was it standard 2) arts homework... i am not good in arts, neither drawing nor painting.. so unfortunate of me, coz my dad n' his sisters + brother @ alang r very good in arts.. i drew badly... alang helped me to draw a very nice drawing.. i still can remember vividly tht drawing.. there was a pendekar sitting under a tree.. facing a lake & mountains/hills...

at first, alang just drew for me... he told me to paint on my own.. but, i was afraid tht i would ruin such a nice drawing.. he colored it for me.. n' thanks to him.. for the first time i got A for my arts n' my drawing was posted up on the wall..

actually, alang was an average person.. he didnt do well in his life.. once tok told him, "awat hang tak keje mcm org lain? abang, akak & adik2 hang sumer keje gomen.." he replied, "mak, ok apa cek tak keja mcm depa.. kurang2 cek jage mak & abah.. cuba kalau cek keja mcm depa, tadak org jaga mak ngan abah kat sini.." .. which was obviously VERY true.. he was the one who stayed with my grandparents @ kg... he had the same passions with my grandpa & my dad.... the 3 of them r very similar... same hobbies.. same way of thinking.. tht's why when 1 of them is no longer around, everybody could sense tht something is missing..

Al Fathihah for arwah alang.....

Productivity & Penang Trip

2009-04-16T14:18:00.004+08:00

ellooo...

sorry for making you guyz waiting AGAIN!!! i know i skipped 1 day from updating my bloggg.. issk.. hv u ever experience decrement of yr productivity rate?? just assume tht it's happening to me now ok.. after more than 1 month sitting in the office + having a long holidays + going for training... i'm so lazy to do ANYTHING..

i have another few weeks @ KL office b4 my next trip.. hopefully i will be able to fulfill my time meaningfully.. **sigh**..

anyway, here are few piccies from our Penang trip... we headed to Penang straight from Pangkor.. really looking forward for our next family vacation.. location? is still under consideration... huhuhu.. of coz depends on our budget department APPROVAL.. :P

**Bukit Bendera**

**Toys Museum @ Batu Feringgi**

**Mkn2 @ Padang Kota**

**On ferry from Penang to Butterworth**

Overall, the trip was good.. but i would never recommend BERJAYA GEORGETOWN to anybody!!!! the service was lousy.. we arrived at the hotel around 5.20 PM (check in time was 3 PM actually).. i called twice when we were on our way to the hotel.. n' the person who answered my call was definitely know tht we were closed by at the time.. i thot tht our room would be ready coz we were already late.. BUT, WE HAD TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER HOUR TO GET OUR ROOM!!! after 2 hours traveling from Lumut to Penang, n' had to wait for another hour before we could rest, hubby almost wanted to go for another hotel... i would not explain further abt the rest of their services, breakfast, lift etc etc.. i did give them BAD EVALUATION on my guest satisfactory survey form.. they deserve it...

alrite... too long for 1 blog entry.. :P.. till next time.. i will pen down abt my short trip to Germany.. bubbbyeee..

Adios,

60 - Earth Hour

2009-03-27T08:13:00.003+08:00

Pada : 28 Mac 2009 , Jam 8.30 malam

Kenapa plak nak tutup lampu ?? - Sebab..sudah tiba masanya untuk kita bertindak dan sedar. Tentang pengunaan dan pembaziran tenaga yang berlebihan selama ini. Secara tidak langsung telah memberi kesan terhadap kenaikan suhu dunia. Satu jam ( 60 minit ) tanpa lampu , diharapkan dapat memberi impak. Tentang bagaimana kita menilai sumber tenaga yang sedia ada.

Siapa yang startkan benda nieh weii ?? - Ianya bermula sebagai sebuah kempen di Kotaraya Sydney , pada tahun 2007. Kempen ini mendapat sokongan dan amat berjaya , apabila hampir 2.2 milion rumah dan kedai perniagaan bersama-sama menutup lampu. Setahun kemudian acara ini telah menjadi sebutan di seluruh pelusuk bumi - dengan penyertaan hampir 50 million orang dan merangkumi sejumlah 35 buah negara. Acara ini diraikan , sebagai satu simbol harapan kepada satu perubahan.

Cuma tutup lampu lah ?? - Ya , hanya tutup lampu selama 1 jam ( 60 minit ) pada 28 Mac ini , bermula jam 8.30 malam . Itu sahaja tanda sokongan yang perlu lakukan. Dan dalam kegelapan ini , mungkin kita boleh berfikir betapa sumber tengan itu seharusnya diguna dengan baik, dan bukan untuk dibazirkan.

Boleh ke saya buat benda ini ?? - Sudah tentu boleh . Hanya memerlukan hujung jari ,[ Untuk menutup suis lampu ] kita akan mampu mengubah nasib Bumi ini . Mari kita semua beramai-ramai menyahut seruan 60 MINUTES-Earth Hour 2009 .Yang akan berlangsung pada 28 Mac 2009 [ Sabtu ] , bermula jam 8.30 malam. Dengan hanya menutup semua lampu selama 60 minit , kita telah membawa harapan baru terhadap masa depan Bumi.

Apa matlamat untuk tahun ini ?? - Tahun ini , diharapkan sebanyak 1 billion umat manusia yang bertaburan di lebih 1000 buah kotaraya . Akan bersama-sama berganding bahu dalam projek global ini. Ini akan menjadi pemangkin yang kita boleh sama-sama mengambil tindakan bersama , dalam menangani isu pemanasan suhu dunia yang berlaku sekarang ini.

Siapa lagi yang saya nak ajak ?? - SEMUA !!! - Tindakan ini menuntut kerjasama semua pihak. Dari orang perseorangan , Industri Perniagaan dan komuniti setempat. Kita boleh bersama-sama keluarga , teman rakan dan ahli komuniti tempat kita tinggal untuk merayakan 1 jam tanpa cahaya ini. Begitu juga dengan Pihak berwajib , dan dari situ baru kita akan dapat melihat setiap bangunan. Yang melatari kaki langit setiap ibu kota dunia , bermula dari asia , eropah , africa dan amerika akan bergelap untuk menyahut seruan kempen ini.

Jadi apa saya nak buat sekarang ?? - Mari , kita war-warkan kempen ini kepada semua. Bersama-sama, kita akan membuat satu perubahan yang amat besar. Kepada alam yang menjadi tempat tinggal kita selama ini .Sehingga kini sudah hampir 538 kota di 75 negara , sudah menyertai Earth Hour 2009. Jumlah ini semakin meningkat dari hari ke hari , menunjukan bahawa semua pihak sudah mula memberi sokongan. Lihat , mudah bukan..kita cuma perlu percaya. Dengan hanya berkerjasama diantara satu induvidu kepada induvidu yang lain , kita akan melihat SATU KUASA besar yang akan membawa perubahan.
