l-o-v-e

the fact that made needs to be away on business trip has been quite routine for both me and adam. not to say i'm taking it easy nowadays but i'm trying hard to adapt into the situation. honestly, the feeling is still the same. i still feel terrible. i still miss him, as much as i miss on his first trip to bakun. i miss him even more whenever i came to the fact that this is the requirement of his job. his rice bowl.

alhamdulillah, technology has kept us closer. we are engaged with skype, ym, googletalk, etc. name it.. it's all downloaded for our better communication. when technology doesn't come cheap but there are still freebies :) we communicate each day. we sms-ing, we ym-ing, we chat-ing, all we can do.. just to ease the feeling that distance doesnt really a big thing...

i hate this distance. but i appreciate how it makes me feel closer & love made even more. i appreciate how it makes me closer to adam. and i appreciate the fact that this distance has brought myself closer to the Almighty. and also taught me some sense of anger management. every clouds has its silver lining. i've seen mine... alhamdulillah :D

all these has been good except the fact that, adam needs his ayah. who could bear the sadness of seeing her lovely child holding a picture of his ayah in his hand while laughing watching tom & jerry's silliness? who could avoid having tears seeing her child wishing "good nite" to his ayah, in the little small frame. who could fight the feeling of seeing this only child crying and asking for his ayah and at the same time clinging to mama since he opened his eyes in the morning till the time he has fall asleep...

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore

can love, it’s all that I can give to you
love is more than just a game for two
two in love can make it
take my heart but please don’t break it
love was made for me and you

maulidur rasul

lokasi: kaunter kentaki, melawati

kaunter: selamat petang kak. selamat datang ke kentaki. makan sini?

kakak: tak. bawak balik

kaunter: balik mana kak?

kakak: er.. rumah..

kaunter: rumah akak kat mana kak?

kakak: er... au4

kaunter: oo.. yg ada ceramah maulidur rasul tadi eh kak? ada ustaz haji daud salleh kan kak? best tak ceramah dia kak?

kakak: mm.. boleh tahanlah. funny guy

kaunter: dia ada cite pasal student murtad kak? kesian mak ayah student tu kan kak? tulah pasal.. salah derang jugak kan kak? kenapa dia paksa budak tu amik course yg budak tu tanak kan kak? ha.. kan dah budak tu protes sampai murtad. bebudak skang ni kak.. bukanlah saya nak kata apa. tapi kadang2 pendek akal. tapi heran jugakkan kak? budak tu hapal yassin, surah2 dalam al-quran dan bagai2. ni dah murtad, nak sedekah al-fatihah kat mak ayah pun dah tak boleh dah..

kakak: .. a'ah.. saya nak...

kaunter: lagi ustaz daud tu ada cite pasal akidah umat zaman Nabi Muhammad s.a.w vs umat zaman skang kak?

kakak: ada jugak..

kaunter: ha kan kak.. tulah.. saya pun rasa banyak beza dulu dengan sekarang. lagi banyak pembangunan lagi hanyut manusia akhir zaman ni. betul la org kata dalam church tu ramai org melayu kan kak? tapikan kak.. mak saya kata, jangan tersilap tafsir. mungkin derang tu indonesian atau org filipina atau pun org thai. muka derangkan ala2 lebih kurang kita je kan kak kan?

kakak: betul jugak.. boleh saya..

kaunter: akak dah kawin dah kak?

kakak: dah..

kaunter: ha.. tadi mesti ustaz daud tu cite pasal 4 golongon isteri yg akan ke syurga dan 4 golongan yg akan ke neraka. betul kan?

kakak: betul..

kaunter: saya agak dah.. kita kena pandai menilai kak.. kita ni org pompuan.. nak ke neraka pun senang. nak ke syurga pun senang. yg penting, jaga diri kita, jaga suami kita, jaga hubungan kita dengan Allah. bukannya kita kena sms & call Allah tu pun. kita hanya perlu beramal saja. lakukan apa yg disuruh dan tinggalkan apa yg dilarang. sonang baitu.. perempuan yg bergelar isteri ni kak.. kena ada ciri2 pemalu. kena jaga kehormatan dia sebagai seorang isteri. barulah sang suami berbangga. barulah suami tidak terasa nak mencari galang ganti. betul kan cakap saya kak?

kakak: ha betul.. saya nak...

kaunter: anak kakak sorang ni je kak?

kakak: a'ah sorang

kaunter: bila nak tambah kak?

kakak: insya Allah..

kaunter: akak tau kak.. golongan ke empat yg akan masuk syurga adalah isteri yg ramai anak kak.. yg penyabar melayan karenah anak2 dia. itu pasal lah syurga di bawah telapak kaki ibu.. betul tak cakap saya kak?

kakak: a'ah.. iye..

kaunter: nak ke neraka pun senang je kak... isteri yg tak jaga percakapan dengan suami, cakap tengking2 dengan suami.. ha.. dapat la lesen besar pegi neraka.. peh tu isteri2 yg memaksa suami dapatkan apa yg suami tak mampu pun, boleh contribute isteri masuk neraka tu kak. kakak datang sini ni, akak paksa suami akak ke tak?

kakak: er.. tak.. kami lapar..

kaunter: ha.. kalau persetujuan bersama tu tak pe.. jangan kita paksa dia. jangan jadi macam golongan ketiga isteri yg akan ke neraka. iaitu golongan org yg hidup tiada tujuan. kejap dia nak makan. lepas makan nak makan. lepas tu nak makan lagi.. peh tu dia tak tau nak buat apa dah. dahlah paksa suami dia beli itu ini, peh tu dia tak tau nak buat apa dah.. macam2 lah isteri sekarang. lepas tu kak.. memuliakan org luar daripada suami ni kak. ha.. itu golongan ke empat kak. aduh kak... kalo dekat opis tu bersakan berhias. kalo kat umah.. aduuuuhhhlahh.. bau bawang lagi wangi dari bau dia. tepek bedak dah macam tepek tar buat jalan. sampai laki malam2 bangun nak gi toilet pun boleh heart attack jadinya.. betul tak kak?

kakak: betul... dik...

kaunter: itulah kak.. kita ni, perempuan ni banyak kelebihan dan kekurangannya. kita yg pilih. kita yg tentukan. ala2 mengundi la jugak kak.. azmin ali datang tadi kak?

kakak: ada.. dah 3 suku ceramah baru sampai

kaunter: tak pelah. ahli parlimen kan sibuk.. tapi dia laki kak.. biarlah dia. dia cari rezeki untuk anak bini dia. bak kata ustaz daudlah kak.. yg penting balik keje, isteri dah sediakan air untuk suami. sambut dia dengan hati yg girang. dengan wajah yg manis. hati panas jadi sejuk, kak. suruh suami mandi dulu sebelum tanya "macam mana bonus abg tahun ni?". barulah dapat emas sampai pangkal lengan. kesimpulannya, semua ni bergantung pada kita. pada diri kita, sanubari, jiwa, raga kita. yg penting keikhlasan hati kita... tepuk dada tanya selera. ha.. berbalik tang selera, akak nak makan apa kak?

kakak: makan? ha.. makan.. saya nak makan jeli dengan aiskrim sudahla dik. nanti selasa depan, lepas akak dapat gaji akak datang lagi ye... tima kasih ye dik...

marketing strategy

alin and i went to mekdi near to iskl this evening. before we reached the order counter, i saw this pokcik with plastic full of keropok keping (sila refer gambarajah di bawah untuk imej yg lebih lanjut). me, being me; i felt the urge to buy for the sake of "kesian kat pokcik tu". so when was i near him, i wind down the window. beginilah conversationnya:

pokcik: pokcik musafir ni nak. pokcik mari dari patani ni. ramai kawan pakcik mati sano. kena bunuh
i am: er....
pokcik: beli ja satu deh?! ike tenggiri ni. sedap ni.
i am: baper ringgit satu ni?
pokcik: kawe pokcik jua tigablas ringgit. pokcik jua limablas ringgit sajolah
i am: er....
pokcik: beli deh.. amik satu ja.. banyok isi nih. satu kelo. amik deh (seraya meletakkan keropok itu di peha gebu ku)
i am: bulih la...

so i gave him rm50. all he has was rm1 & rm5. so he counted 10, 20, 30. then he stopped

pokcik: baper wi tadi? pokcik dok reti kiro. tok skoloh tinggi
i am: tiga puluh lima
pokcik: ho lah.. timo kasih dehh...

then we got our icecream. and i couldn't stop thinking these things:

1) apa kaitan kawan dia terbunuh kat patani dengan keropok keping ikan tenggiri dia?
2) camne nak meniaga tapi tak reti kira? tapi pandai amik untung rm2 dari kawan dia..

macam2 sungguh marketing strategy nih..
