Budi Bahasa

Orang memberi kita merasa,
orang berbudi kita berbahasa ....

Adab bersahabat :-
********************
i) Kalau kita bertandang ke rumah dia, 3 kali beri salam tak menyahut, beredarlah kita ....
kecuali kalau kita tahu dia ada di dalam tapi .... kat dalam toilet.
Bawak-bawak la bersabar menunggu ye ... jangan digesa ... kang ada lak pemandangan yg tak
sepatutnya kang

ii) Kalau kita menghantar email/im ... dia buat de' je tak balas. Dua tiga mungkinlah sibuk
tapi kalau dah berpuluh-puluh dia buat de' jugak, berhentilah ngantor. Faham faham le org
dah tak sudi nak berkawan dgn kita.
Lainlah kalau kita nganto 10 email/im dalam satu hari .. 10 hari dah 100 email/im ..
mmg dia tak akan balas le ... naik mabuk membaca email/im sampai dia tak larat nak balas
Ataupun ... mmg email dan im tak sampai ke destinasi ... tersesat ke tempat lain.
Puaslah kita nghantor, org tak terima pun ....
Tapi kalau kita tahu dia terima & kita tahu dia tak baca ... usah le hidung mancung, pipi
tersorong-sorong. Cukup le ... Kita pun ada perasaan juga .....

iii) Kalau kita telefon .. dia tak nak jawab atau tak nak cakap ngan kita, kalau kita tahu dia tgh
bad mood .. biarlah dia sejuk dulu.
Tapi kalau mmg dia saja-saja tak nak bercakap ... cuba sms.
Kalau dia tak balas ... sah-sah le dia nak putuskan hubungan... kecualilah dia punya kredit dah
habis. Tapi kalau kita tahu dia guna postpaid dan tak ada masalah kredit airtime ataupun kad
kredit .... bawak-bawak la diri tu ... gi lah jauh sejauh-jauhnya

Saya pun rasa saya nak gi jauh ni ....
Allah melarang kita memutuskan tali silaturrahim.
Tapi kalau kita je yg menghulur tali ... org tak sudi nak nyambut ...
then what is there left to do ?? :(
Kita bawak diri dgn lelehan airmata ....
bior banjir kat Pekan ni. Waa !!!

Kenangan Yang Terindah

Buat dia yang "hilang" dan telah "membuang" saya ...
tapi jangan salah faham ye .... saya cuma tujukan the chorus part buat kamu.
Bila yang tertulis untukku adalah yang terbaik untukmu
kan ku jadikan kau kenangan yang terindah dalam hidupku
namun takkan mudah bagiku meninggalkan jejak hidupku
yang telah terukir abadi sebagai kenangan yang terindah !!!
Selamat tinggal wahai sahabat, semoga kamu berbahagia selalu. Amin.

I am what I am !!!

Like I said ... I'm a muslim .. an ordinary muslim
When I'm down .. I pray, I recite the Qur'an
I sing ... and I dance !!!
I am what I AM !!!

I AM a MUSLIM !!!

I am a muslim.
Saya tak pernah kata saya muslim yang paling beriman.
Saya tak pernah bercerita supaya pembaca menganggap saya punya hati yang paling bersih
dan suci. Saya tidak pernah merasa diri saya muslim yg kuat dan tabah menghadapi ujian/dugaan.
Saya cuma manusia biasa ... seorang muslim biasa!!!
Saya bukan muslim yg paling beriman. Saya punya hati yg kotor, berdebu & frozen.
(Err .. can icebergs be contaminated??? .. ok,ok.. NEVER MIND !!!)
Saya tidak kuat dan tidak tabah menghadapi ujian/dugaan.
No, I'm NOT being cynical .. It's the truth. Saya selalu rasa darjat saya sebagai muslim
ialah yg paling bawah sekali = paria.

BUT what I DID say was : I am what I am
AND I won't pretend to be what I'm not !!!

Saya ada perasaan & sebagai wanita memang saya selalu emosional.
Saya ngaku.
When I hate, I hate
and I beg Allah's forgiveness for hating
When I love, I love
and I thank Allah for HIS blessings
I do not pretend to love when I don't love
I do not pretend to hate when I don't hate
BUT I might hide my feelings ... hehaha ... Ermm ... seriously, I'm good at hiding my feelings, ahaks.

Allah blessed me with passion so much so that I easily sympathise & empathise
and I'm not cold to the people I hate, no matter how frozen my heart is.
If I can be ehsan towards the people I hate,
can you imagine what I'll do for the people I love ???

For me, my frens are equally important as my family
Ehh ... jap, jap, jap ... I mean my frens are as important as my sisters
Yg paling penting are my children.
Then my parents & husband.
Then my sisters & frens; close frens that is ... frens I trust.
Unfortunately, at this moment, not all frens who I trust want to be frens with me ... by my own fault entirely.
You can hold me accountable for that ... even b4 GOD, let me be the one to be punish for it.
Tapi dengan sifat Allah yg Maha Pemaaf, aku mohon ENGKAU maafkan aku, Ya Allah.

Better In Time

I'll be Ok ... This sadness will go away .. in time

Better in Time

The World According to Me

Muhammad Ali said,
"The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life."

I say :-
A Man's View of The World :
*************************
At 10 yrs old, he views the world as a perfect sphere

At 20 yrs old, he says the world is an imperfect sphere

At 50 yrs old, he questions,"are you sure it's a sphere?"

At 100 .... if he lives to be a 100, he thinks real hard
Thinking, " err ... what's the shape of the world again???"

Pesanan

I) Pesanan Luqman Hakim pada anaknya:
"O my son! Do not associate anyone with Allah. Truly, polytheism is a tremendous wrong" (31:13).
He also said: "O my son! Establish Salah and command the right and forbid the evil and bear patiently whatever may befall you, for this is firmness (of purpose) in (the conduct of) affairs. Do not turn your face away in disgust from people, nor walk arrogantly in the land. Surely, Allah does not love any arrogant boaster. Be moderate in your pace and lower your voice. Truly the harshest of all voices is the voice of the ass" (31:17, 18, 19).


II) Pesanan Ibu pada Anaknya:
"My dearest children .... break the cycle ... do not repeat my mistakes or your father's or your grandparents'. Build a better life ... a better community for you & the new generations to come"

III) Pesanan Allahyarham P. Ramlee pada anaknya:

Kenapa Begitu???

Aku sangka kesedihan ini akan berakhir ....

"Assalamualaikum, boleh cakap dengan Ahmad Shuib?"
"Ahmad Shuib?? Sekejap ye ..."
"Hey .. ni bukan Ahmad Shuib ke?" Saya cam suara dia.
"Hah?? ha.. iyelah ... hehehe"
"Apalah awak ni .... mabuk ke??? HeHehe ... "

Ahmad Shuib .... buat lawak lak pagi-pagi buta ni .. macam tahu-tahu je Ibunya sedang sedih ....

Masih Sedih

Masih sedih ....
I know my fren told me to relax
& another fren says "I should be happy kerana hidup hanya sekali"
Tapi bagaimana saya tidak sedih & kesal bila saya berbuat salah
& sahabat yg saya hargai menjadi marah pada saya kerana kesalahan itu.
Bagaimana dapat saya menepis rasa sedih & kesal terhadap apa yg telah berlaku ....
Saya mohon padaMU Tuhan kerana ENGKAU yg paling tahu ......
I'm sorry my fren ...I'm really sorry

Ahmad Shuib called around 9 am.
"Ibu, Uib nak beraya kat rumah Cikgu .. pas tu budak-budak ni kata alang-alang menyeluk pekasam, diaorang nak singgah beraya kat rumah sekali"
"Datanglah"
"Boleh?"
"Datanglah .. napa pulak tak boleh nya??
Once I hang up the phone, I started thinking "apa yg nak dihidangkan?"
Then I had this idea why not serve waffle.
Sedang leka membancuh adunan, kedengaran suara
"Assalamualaikum ..."
Alamak dah sampai .... ha engkau... Shuib bawak 8 org kawan beraya ke rumah.
Nasib baik Zahra & Aisyah ada ...
When the batter was done, I showed Zahra how to bake the waffle. Told her after you've baked 3 sets, serve them to the boys & continue with the rest of the batter. Meanwhile I told Shuib to serve his frens with the leftover Raya cookies & Iced Milo.
By the time the fried noodles were served, I thot the boys wud be half full.
HeHe ... not at all.

Tapi sebagai tuan rumah, rasanya kita akan puas bila semua yg kita hidangkan habis dimakan.
Tak kiralah kalau sebenarnya tetamu kita yg lapar ...
yg penting licin !!!
Itulah yg telah berlaku ....
Mee goreng served with sirap laici ?? Dua-dua licin .... Minah dua org yg tinggal kat rumah tak dapat rasa pun ... but Alhamdulillah, they don't mind
Waffle?? Pun langsai ... nasib baik saya suruh Zahra ketepikan sedikit utk dia & Aisyah
Sakibaki kuih Raya??? Adalah tinggal sikit lagi .. cukup kot buat kawan Aisyah yg bakal datang ptg nanti.
The boys left happy ... gendang gendut tali kecapi
And the girls?? .. dapat upah Nasi Ayam (makan tengah hari) kerana membantu.
Aisyah said," Ibu, nanti bila kawan Ichah dtg , dia kata tak payah buat sirap .. buat teh aje pun tak pe .."
Hemm ... ni kawan Ichah yg mintak ke Ichah yg mintak.

Sedih Banget ...

Lagi sedang sedih banget .... if only I can turn back time
& undo everything that I have done wrong ...

Oh .. Pak Najib tu ada kat sini rupanya ye ...
Awat senyap je ... tak dengar pun bunyi siren escort
thats so not the very like him ...
Ada pesta di bandar ... and as usual ada pemeriksaan kesihatan percuma

"Your BMI is normal" Huh ??? Macam tak percaya je.
Biar betul ...
"Your BMI is normal BUT ..."
Oh, there's a "BUT" .... Hemm, I thot there's a catch somewhere.
Ok ... patutle rasa macam kodok masuk sarung
So ya ... there's something to watch out for ...
Isn't there always a health risk somewhere .. entah doktor ni saja je nak duit lebih tak ??
Tapi memang I want to reduce my weight & build strength.
Lagipun next year sepatutnya ada class reunion & if those guys pilih tempat yg macam dulu,
di lereng bukit .... yg sememangnya cantik & nyaman .... I really wud love to be fit.
Tak sabar nak jumpa mereka .... I hope I can meet all of my good frens.
Come to think of it, ex DLP tak nak buat reunion ke ... kan best kalau dapat jumpa semula after all these years.

I Don't Want To Cry

I don't want to cry .... so ..

Anyway ... there's this cat yg selalu datang ke rumah.
Pantang aku buka pintu dapur, mesti dia berlari-lari datang.
Tapi sebenarnya Tuan Rumah tak suka kucing tu ...

Miao miaow
SShhh....
Miaow ...
Janganlah bising, kang pak we tu tahu kang mampus aku kena marah. Sshh ....

Kiranya amalku utk kucing ini tak ada pahalanya sbb Tuan Rumah tak redha.
Tapi gak apa-apa kok ... yg penting kucing itu bahagia mendapat makanan.
Itupun kadang-kadang tak ada apa yg boleh aku beri. Kesian kucing itu.

Manglish

These days people (Malaysian Malays) are so proud when they can speak English
especially when it's like .. berabuk punya English
It's ironic that it didn't matter to them that they don't speak berabuk punya malay

Little do these people know that within the older generations, even illiterates can speak English.
"Mak Long beli sarung ketupat kat mana?"
"Chow Kit Road"
Ha ... kan English tu ... Chow Kit Road .... instead of Jalan Chow Kit
Kira speaking la tu ....
Of course her slang made it sound more like "Cekik Road"
Tapi betullah ... for low income citizens of KL, kat situ lah selalu kena "cekik"
"Cekik darah betul ..... ada ke patut ... kat tempat lain org jual singgit, dia jual dua inggit"
Hehehe .... I was going to ask "why didn't u buy kat tempat lain tu?" but thinking twice, better not la ... kang aku lak yang kena sembur.
For the average income group ... Sg Wang is the place where the "wangs" will flow like air sungai... laju je dia mengalir keluar.

Anyway .. back to the issue.
Language is a means of communication so no matter what language u speak as long as it
allows u to communicate .. it's good.
If u can't speak english, speak malay, if u can't speak malay, speak english ...
if u can't speak english or malay speak manglish
if u can't speak manglish use the sign language .... hehehe
or u can follow Aisyah's footstep ... dia pakai lantak je ... kdg-kdg bunyi alien pun ada
asalkan org faham.
Kalau tak faham ... ha nasib le

My Nama is Khalina

Excuse me ??
Yup !! That's correct
My NAMA is Khalina .. not name .. nama
Hello !! I'm a Malaysian & I speak Manglish !!!
So ???
No.. I'm NOT spoiling the Malay language
I'm spoiling the English language ..
Afterall I am not English so what do you expect ??

Where in the world would you find scenes like these :-
A group of chinese youngsters talking abt further studies:
A: "Why you want to go overseas??"
B: "I already pakat with my girlfren"

or A malay woman to another malay woman:
C: "ala ... if you can't finish ...just tapaw la..."

See ... we are Malaysians, we speak Manglish.

Oh don't worry .. I don't speak perfect English but I speak perfect Malay.
Of course I might surprise you ...
"Alang alang menyeluk pekasam, biar sampai geram ..."

Abang Long vs ANgah

"Adik tinggi drp abang ..."
That is the most common comment we heard when we go visiting ....
It's obvious so no point denying it ....
Cuma ... Shuib kurus tinggi
& Sulaiman ?? ... he has developed a broad shoulder.
Kiranya he has reached that prime age when girls & secret admirers come knocking.
I've said it to him ... I'm not going to repeat what I said, unless it's extremely necessary
And today while talking to his two younger sisters in front of him (about girlfrens and boyfrens), he chipped in ...
so I know he has understood.

Semoga Allah swt melindungi anak-anakku
& memberi mereka hidayah agar mereka sentiasa berada di atas jalan yang benar. Amin.

Siti 2

I was the first to hear it ... the faint voice :-
"Assalamualaikum .. Siti ..."
As I walk to the door, "Siti Zahra .. kawan awak .." (confidentnya aku ..)
I opened the door & ....
"Alahai!!!" .... "Aisyah, your fren "
So there I go again .... ahaks

Wednesday, October 08, 2008

Siti

"Boleh cakap dengan Siti?"

When I'm in that mischievous mood : "Alahai ... CT dah balik Kuala Lipis lah ..."

When I'm in that foul mood : Dengan nada yg serious : " Siti yg mana satu .. kat sini ada 3 CT"
Uuu ..yo .. sure kecut perut Sipemanggil

When I'm good : "Ni siapa?? Telefon dari mana ni ...bla,bla,bla .."
Kiranya emak borak seround dulu baru pass kat anak .... hehehe
Sipemanggil : Apalah Mak cik ni ... Duh

When I'm in a hurry : "Zahra .. your call"
Entah iya entah tidak ... pakai assume je ... coz : semua kawan Zahra panggil dia CT
semua kawan Hajar panggil dia Hajar
tapi Aisyah ?? - ada yg panggil dia Aisyah & ada yg panggil dia CT
so ... there were times when Zahra went .. "Kawan Ichah la ... Bu " Rolling Eyes

Anyway ... tahun ni ramai gak kawan-kawan mereka yg datang beraya kat rumah.
So it's not so bad afterall.

Zahra

It's not that she does not like being in a religious school,
it's just that her ambition is to be a scientist.
And the particular school does not have a science stream
meaning if she enrols in that sch, she'll never be able to achieve her ambition.

I've talked to him abt it ... he went "Mmmm..."
I know "Mmm..." has 1001 meanings
and one of it is probably "I heard but I'm not listening"

So it's no surprise when he insisted she goes for the interview this Saturday.
She was like ... "Oh, dear ... what should I do now .."
Last nite she checked her recital with Abang Long. Actually, malam tadi baru check sebutan atau makhraj huruf... "sebutan mesti betul .. sebutan Arab !!!"
Aduhai ... Abang Long pun ... pantang dapat "lesen", dia kerahnya adik sampai naik tergeliat lidah adik nyebut ...
Nasib adik lulus "ujian" ...

BUT ...
OK, I know I'm being BAD !!!
coz I told her to fail the interview ....
Which is better .. kena marah sebab fail interview atau
kena marah sebab tolak tawaran bila dah berjaya dapatkan tempat ???

My Raya Song !!!

Sorry .. I'm not into sad songs ... no matter how sad I am
So ... this one is more Me !!!

Eidul Fitri 1429H

Awal Ramadhan - I did sumthing that made my husband angry with me .. walaupun saya kejutkan dia utk sahur ... dia tidak tegur saya selama seminggu !!!
Akhir Ramadhan - I fell sick. I had a bad feeling my Raya was going to be different.

Syawal 1 - Lepas Solat Sunat Eidul Fitri, balik rumah & everything was like .... cool .... nothing happening here mate !!! In the end Sis in Law decided to snap pictures just for the fun of it ..
& then around 11 ++ am, we decided to just do ahead with our own "acara bersalaman", just our family. Pas tu barulah org lain ikut ..
Aiyo ... baru je borak dgn my good eFren pasal beraya kat M'sia yg tak semeriah beraya kat SG
Ni bukan saja tak meriah ... ni dah jadik Raya sejuk beku !!!

Then we decided to go to Beranang, my grandma's place .. jumpa Pak Cik Berahim
Hah ... barulah panas ... kalau dgn Pak Cik mmg tak kering gusi.
Ada je cerita dia yg menghiburkan

Syawal 2 - Jom kita Beraya !!!
Err ... mana org-org ni ... berkunci je rumah
"Tak pe .. tak pe ...kita gi beraya kat rumah Atok kat belakang ...."
"Mak Itam .. kita beraya ke mana ni ...?"
"Ikut je lah .... kata nak beraya kat rumah Atok kan .."
"Mak Itam ... ni kubur ..."
"Iyelah ... rumah Atok lah ni ... kan Atok dah tinggal kat sini ..."

HeHeHe ... anak-anak buah kena kelentong ...
Tapi akhirnya beraya jugak .. kat rumah saudara yg tinggal berdekatan dgn kubur tu

Syawal 3 - Round trip area KL,
from Lembah Keramat to Gombak
from Kg Nakhoda to Kemensah Heights
from Sentul to Bukit Damansara
sampai rumah pukul 11 mlm .... masing-masing flat .. keletihan

Syawal 4 - Balik Pekan
"Bang, nanti singgah rumah kawan saya sekejap boleh ... ??"
"Mana sempat ... saya tak nak memandu kalau dah panas ..."
Hemm.....
Tak apa la ... Raya Haji nanti kalau tak jumpa ... Ina nak merajuk gak setahun ....
Sob !! Sob !! Sob !!
