Kasih Anak

"Kasih ibu membawa ke syurga, kasih saudara bawa bahagia, kasih anak???? ..... moga tiada derita". Those are the Malay proverbs ( the first two lines), the third line is 100% mine, therefore no citation is required. This entry is a continution to my previous entry. It is about what we have discovered when we were in Sg Petani. Something that we never thought would happen so close to us. Something that we have read in newspapers, listen from the news and shook head about it. It's definitely not something pleasant to hear. Especially when it happen to a person who has fed you when you were small, washed and bathe you when you were young, stayed up when you were sick, supported you when you are sad and suport you financially when you begin your adult life ... not when it happen to a person you called 'MAK'.

CNY 2010

We were talking about new year celebration last night when suddenly Hakim blurted, "Mana boleh sambut Tahun Baru Cina, kita bukan orang Cina" .

This occured yesterday, 31/01/2010 at Section 13, Shah Alam, near the rear entrance to the stadium. Nope. I'm not involve. Alhamdulillah. Neither did any of my family nor friends. Alhamdulillah. I was just being nosy. We (my husband & me) were on our way back from Pasar Tani when we encountered this. From far we can see a fire engine blocking one lane. We also saw a police car with its siren still on. We quickly fasten our seat belt (terlupa tadi!!! hihihi). As we passed by, this is what we saw. As I said earlier, just like to be nosy, my husband pull to the side to join the crowd. It was an accident between a Volvo and a Proton Wira. According to some witnesses (macam pemberita lah pulak) , the Proton Wira is trying to make a U-turn there when it was hit by the Volvo. Acco
