HATI SEORANG MERTUA

Tinta ini mengorak cerita...

Kecilmu,

Ku berikan jiwa atas dasar cinta,

Tangisanmu alunan mengiringi rutinku,

Ku korbankan lelah, keringatku perah,

Agar kau tak mengerti apa itu payah,

Senyummu penawar... Berbaloi segalanya.

Remajamu,

Ku beri ilmu, kau terus maju,

Permintaanmu bisikan semangat buatku,

Ku korbankan lelah, keringatku perah,
Agar kau tak mengerti apa itu payah,

Kejayaanmu penawar... Berbaloi segalanya.

Dewasamu,

Kuberikan kebebasan, kau disaluti ketenangan,

Pilihanmu ku iring sokongan,

Ku korbankan lelah, keringatku perah,
Agar kau tak mengerti apa itu payah,

Kemewahanmu penawar... Berbaloi segalanya.

Dewasamu,

Ku hulurkan segala, Kau dan famili terus bahagia,

Putusanmu masih kuiring sokongan,

Kau terus gembira,

Ku korbankan lelah, keringatku perah,
Agar kau tak mengerti apa itu payah,

Berita darimu penawar... Berbaloi segalanya.

Aku?

Senyumku masih seperti dulu,

Hambar dalam sendu,

Kederatku meronta pohon dimanja,

Jiwaku terus tergadai,

Bahagia yang ku nanti tersimpan dihati,

Berbaloi segalanya?

Terpejam mataku... Selamat tinggal dunia.....

(Definisi hati seorang bapa)...

Last night I overheard the long chat between my hubby and my FIL. I realized that someone so strong can yet be so vulnerable inside. And yet are we there for them to pamper their feeling as they pamper ours. This poem I made on my own as a dedication to a devoted father that I admire. Ya Allah .. please bless us all and let us be a good child for our family.. Ammiin..

Too many things to catch up with......

Year of 2009 have just started but there are already too many things to catch up... Ayyooo.. what with me nowadays.. getting slower or the time is really getting faster each day.

Year 2009 faculty's activity started with the 3 days 2 nights stay at PD for our family day. Aduyaiii.. soooo tiring. The activities is very tight and yet the Sukaneka was too energatic for mak mak and bapak bapak budak budak to do.. I fell down twice during the activity, alhamdulillah no serious injury just some bruises and terseliuh! So sad that my hubby is not around to help me when I'm injured.. Huhuhu he was working on the day of the occasion.

Two of my roommates, Dila on the right and Kak Ruby the one in the middle. The one on the far left is my vice dean (academic) Prof Jamilah....

We can always judge how was the presentation by looking at the participants' faces...

During the Sukaneka... Felt like it was years back when I last done all the activities that I may consider as Lasak! I'm too scared to jump using the small gelung..

But yet our Dato' was soo energetic..

However our team won first place for overall games in the sukaneka.. Yey yey.. Dato' must be very happy . For the record he was in our team.

The face of victory.. The barbeque was good but maybe the hotel should add more variety to the food served.

Dato' getting ready to enjoy the grilled dishes..
Muka muka kenyang ... makan sampai esofagus ya...
Part of my faculty members..

The tiring faces yet so happy realizing we were going back on that day.
Then back to routine work at the office. While we were busy doing our chores each day.. People in Palestin were fighting for their life. I was so emotionally touched by what happened and still happening in Gaza. To show our support all university's staffs and students gathered together in a perhimpunan aman at Nilai Stadium. The speeches from all representatives were so emotional and touching. Maybe we cannot help directly for the war but we can do our part by donating some of our money or belongings for the victims in Gaza. I strongly believed that eventhough my money doesn't value that much when I'm boicoting items directly related with the Israeilis but yet at least when I leave this world I can answer to Allah that I've tried to do my part by not contibuting to the people that is trying to destroy the muslims.

Everyone was so emotional during the picket. This was my first time joining this kind of event so it was a little bit scary for me.

The start of 2009

On the first day of the year 2009 suddenly me and my hubby have this weird nationalism spirit.. We discussed about our country and best of all regarding my recent students. Thinking about the medical students and the dental students nowadays made me worried. Why? Because I know that they are smart students, brilliant students but I'm not sure why they didn't do very well in the previous examination. Maybe the spirit is just not there and they are just not appreciating the opportunity that they had being selected as medical std or dental std they should feel greatful and make the best out of it. Then we started remembering about our own relatives, basically more towards his relatives since I'm the only child in my family.. Thinking about our beloved niece (Kak Yong), my hubby started to have the idea of giving his niece the early exposure of what is it like being a uni student. Besides his intention of buying her few books to get ready for the coming PMR. So of we go to KakNgah's house to fetch her up.

Bringing her to work is great! She's nice and sometimes it feels great listening to stories from a 14 year old girl, after all I was way past that age. Mak Aih... I'm getting older laaa..... She went into 1 of my tutorial and a behavioral science class discussion. Hope she got the idea. She seems energetic and spirited, then I guided her to make her own schedule and to write down her pledge to herself. While having our lunch, my office mate did mention to us regarding the Aquaria at KLCC and Kak yong seems interested in going so I decided to bring her there jst to make her enlightened a bit before going back to school.

Love the trip there .. Here are some pics we have taken but the quality of the pics is not so good bcoz no flash is allowed..

Sapa besar Auni ker fish nih

But the worst part is my son is scared to almost everything that's larger than his palm... Haih...
