Dekat Benci, Jauh Rindu

Salam All,

Sorry if the recent postings are all about my daughter and her hostel. Baru sorang anak kat hostel, riuhnya seMalaya, itulah diibaratkan. Just to share a bit of a funny story. Sabrina told us yesterday, "K.Ngah rindu nak kena marah dengan kakak". Macam ni punya orang pun ada ka? Rindu nak kena marah. That's what people said, 'Blood is thicker than water". How hateful you are to your siblings, when they are away, you know that you actually love them. It's proven. We (my sister and I) were once are like the cat and dogs (ada ke istilah camtu dalam BI??). Memang tak boleh berdamai. Sentiasa gaduh. I never knew the reason. Whatever that I do then, were always a nuisance to her. Not until when we were separated. That is when she went to a hostel. Whenever she came back for school hols, she will bring something for me. The first thing that she ever bought me was a mechanical pencil. It was not a very easy to get item more than 30 years ago. I proudly brought it to school to show it to my friends the present that I got from my sister. Masa tu barulah terasa seronoknya ada kakak (eh! mata duitan ke aku ni??? tak kot.......). And until today we are VERY close. A person that I could share and of course gossipping...hihi.

The history repeats, now my eldest is at the hostel being missed by her siblings. Hope it will nurture to a firm bond between them, rahmatillah. Amin.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa. ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
