" TENACIOUS D - Kickapoo "

A songs by Jack Black : " Kickapoo "

" A Small World "

" Life is so Small " even you never thoughts what's going to be happened to you or maybe peoples surrounding you. Last night; my sister called & informed me that " akak Timah's " husband ( abang Zakaria ) just passed away at 19:30 (akak Timah is my cousin); my late father (Abdul Ghani Ahmad) is the youngest & also siblings to " akak Timah's " father ( i called  " Pak Long Ya " in fact; in my real life i never seen all my uncles except the late my beloved auntie i called her " Makcik Rahmah " because of huge age margins). Furthermore, " akak Timah's " daughter (Hafiza or Kak Chik) is my ex-classmate during primary school. It was a tough day and maybe the whole life chapter to my cousins & her daughter. Anyway; as a moslem we should take this as a path of our life journey ( " qadak & qadar " =  fate ). One day for sure, every one of us will face their fate & destiny. The death will come to us definitely....!. " al-fathihah " to the late " abang Zakaria " &  with deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the whole family.

  

Anyway; i went to " akak Timah " house a little bit late...but still i've managed to be there before " Solat Jenazah ". Since i'm alone...(my sister, sister-in-law, brother-in-law & elder brother already there)....so i've decided to see " arwah " during " mandian jenazah ". I just be there; keep myself silent; thinking & thinking what's going to be happened to me........?! Subhanallah ...!

While i'm still thinking a bit too far from my world of imaginations, my naked eyes coincidentally spotted Muazam Hadi 

in front of the house.....( a friend of mine at Infineon Kulim  )

; he's also attending while sitting next to my relatives....(actually i also not very sure who is my relative because they are too old for me & i was not in their generations; it was hard for me to acknowledge them but i've always put my sincere smiling to them so at least they keep asking who's this guy....hahahahaha)....but for sure they are my relatives a " true-blood " of my grandfather & grandmother; " Tok Wan Ahmad " & " Tok Timah ". Wondering why Hadi also there....so i stepped towards him from the back. Then the conversations begin; " Aik Hadi ....apa ko buat kat sini...? " Then, Hadi replied: " Aku follow tok wan aku, ada kena mengena ...adik- beradik jugak " haha sound interesting....to be honest I told Hadi that " arwah's " daughter is my schoolmate & also her mother is my cousin. So now, i still not clear ....then he fingered towards his grandad @ " Tok Wan " who is sitting next to me wearing  white " kopiah ". At this moment, i've no idea who is the veteran man that i might start talking in a sec.....Once in a moment, i asked the veteran: " Pak cik nama apa & apa kaitan dengan akak timah...? "  After that the veteran man answered my questions...blabla...bla..blaa...:) (his name " Mohd Noor " ....i guest the spelling was correct; please correct me Hadi if you read this blog ) & questioned me back..." Anak siapa ? " ...By all means of course " anak Paksu Ani " i replied proudly. Then the veteran smiled already....." hah tu abang Jamen hang...& kak Umi hang ".....then i noticed that the veteran really knows my brothers & sisters very well except me.... ;( & of course i am the " bongsu " who's gap between all his siblings +> 10 years....After that i'm get used to it...Afterwards, the veteran ask the very world famous questions to me...." Hang dah kawen ka blom ? ". " alamak ni soalan yang aku lemah ni (the veteran asking whether i already got married or not? )....apasal orang tua ni tanya...? " I said to him ; not yet ! The veteran spontaneous replied : " haaa....eloklah tu hang bleh geng dengan Hadi...." ...... Then both of us were smiling ...;-). 

Actually, the veteran are my cousins too but i didn't know about that because once you have become me....the whole big family became wider & starting to lose the purity of roots of relationship unless we the whole big family trying to grow & protect the very small/young twigs or branches from a big storms. Well i think, Hadi and I should considered this blessing meeting as an odd methods of becoming from an ordinary working colleagues to a close friend's relative. Imagine ; after 3 years working with the same company & together both of us having the same OJT in Regensburg, today we knew that both of us are close relative. I repeat; Hadi & I are no longer ordinary friends but they are close relative because we have the same roots that is " Ahmad bin Akil = Tok Wan Ahmad " & " Fatimah = Tok Timah ". For me it's still simple but for Hadi, both of them becoming a grandgrandgrandad or great grand parent i guest...Sighhhh....A human world is so complicated by their own creations but Allah has make it so simple without any flaws. Allah is really GREAT ! Thank You Allah !

Since we have a big family; for sure things like this you can't predicted to be happened in such a unique way. Why it's so unique ? This is the story of " A Small World " by just a second it's changed everythings; the old version to the same generation. 

Anyway; before i ending up this odd stories , let us contribute " Al-Fatihah " to Hafiza's father. 

Amin. 

Songs by Zain Bhikha: " Sabr & Shukr "

" There was so much on my mind in my bed i lay;

I turned to my side and I heard a voice say

Stop all your whinning, heart rates declining

You've got so much more than most 

Look how you're sleeping, how much you've eaten

Don't you know that you're supposed to say 

Sabr & Shukr are wonderful things 

The praises to Allah we should always sing

when things go right it's from Him not me

And when they are wrong, we get through patiently

I got out of bed, began to walk

Bumped into some folks and we started to talk

Did you hear about the killing, the bloodshed the stealing 

The grass got burned on the other side

Soldiers are coming, people are running

All that's left is the orphan child

I opened my eyes and began to see 

Everything that's happening around me

What seemed half empty now seems so full

There's no use crying over what's been spilled

While babies are dying, mothers are crying

Their containers have never even been filled

Inn Allah ha, Ma As Saabireen

I opened my eyes, began to see

Everything that's happening around me "  

" Life Path "

" Man Without a Home " 

by Linda A. Murray

" I sometimes wonder why i'm here,

I haven't money,

Wordly goods or cheers,

I'm the man on the street without a home.

The one you can't look at when you throw stones.

Not looking at me doesn't make me go away,

I will be here each and everyday.

The reasons why my life is like this,

Could go on a very long list.

It really doesn't matter how i got here.

The thing that matters is will i bring you tears.

Are you compassionate or are you weak.

These are the things that i seek ".

What if we become one of them ....?

" Perhentian Trip " courtesy by ilamajwasimi

Written by ilamajwasimi in Bahasa Melayu (Malay Language):

" Trip to pulau perhentian. First trip boyz from alma were together. Tu pun hanya 4 org yg join., pezan dok wat spoil plak last minute. Kena kheja hari jumaat, so tak dpt la nk join boyz from alma punya first trip. Hanya aku ( MatT), Amy, G and Anis ja yg dpt pi. Actually benda ni dh lama dlm perancangan, tapi cuma masa ja yg tak dak tuk kami semua go for a trip..vacation.

Tapi , for ur info , memang kami semua ambik pendekatan secara “gamble” . tak book chalet pun, main redah ja pi sana….Aku n Amy gerak from greenwood KL manakala G and Anis bertolak from “bukit”dlm lebih kurang kul 9.30 malam

First dugaan. (0600 hours, 11 Aug 2006 )

Trip from kl was on schedule..ikut jadual n we arrived lebih kurang kul 5.00 pagi..

But rombongan En G from “bukit” buat masalah la plak..satu ja aku nk bagi tau kat hgpa semua. Ni tip penting untuk yg first nak p berjalan2 negeri org. “ selalu bertanya” “jangan tidoq dlm bas” “kalu nk tido pun, jgn lupa kunci jam “ budget la skit bila hgpa bleh sampai ke destinasi yg hgpa nk p. Nak di jadikan crita , rombongan En G bleh plak pi tidoq . pastu bas lepa terus pi kuala Terengganu. Aku tak tau la plak yg semua passengers dlm bas tu kena tipu sbb G kata memang semua nk pi kuala besut dan semua plak dok wat diam ..membisu seribu bahasa ..dok wat macam drebar bas tu pandai and tau yg hgpa semua nk turun mana. Lain kali, kalu dh rasa macam “perjalanan dh lepas” hgpa pi la sound drebar bas tu..furthermore, jgn lupa bawak peta a.k.a map skali. Baru la hg pa tau ur rite destination.

Di sebabkan kesilapan rombongan En G jadi aku n Amy took a reasonable step tuk gerak first pi pulau perhentian. Kami amik first boat dlm kul 0700 hours.

Second dugaan ( 0815 hours, 11 Aug 2006 )

Bila sampai pulau perhentian, aku ngan amy punya la syok ushar ayaq laut bukan main punya biru. Without wasting time, kami terus gerak nk cari chalet. First kita org serbu Panorama chalet…..ha ha….kecewa…the rooms were fully accommodated..second tip for u guys. “ try to book the chalet first before going there” jgn main redah ja..nanti jadi mcm kami. Tapi we were lucky enough to get two room after percubaan terakhir….dkt dgn ROCK GARDEN..don’t ask me how does the room looks like ??? terrible but still comfortable for a kampong boy like us…aku rasa ..tunggu ja lagi dua tahun ..mesti bilik yg kami duduk tu ranap di makan anai2…I think so..ha ha…

After 5 hours, sarapan, berenang n tido sat..then baru la rombongan En G sampai..let bygone be bygone ..satu pengalaman berharga wat rombongan En G…ha ha skali lagi..

1700 hours 11 Aug 2006

Lepas semayang…kami semua pi la mandi manda .canoeing….wat snorkeling dekat ngan persisiran pandai...weiiii….cun nk habaq kat hg…hanpa try la Tanya Anis ..brapa banyak dia punya bulu dada kena gigit dgn anak2 ikan…ikan2 warna warni tuuu…aku pun tak paham apsai anis the only one yg bulu dada kena gigit a.k.a “rutut” ..org lain tak kena pun..maby sebab bulu dada dia manis kot..ha ha ..org lain guna roti “benggali” wat umpan ikan..tapi geng kami tak payah guna semua tu..suruh ja Anis “mendada” dekat dlm air…bukan saja ikan kat pulau kecil saja dtg..ikan kat pulau besaq pun dok bekhebut gigit dia punya bulu..ha ha ..don’t take it seriously Anis..just kiddin’

2300 hours , 11 Aug 2006 , in front of symphony chalet

Amy dok buka crita pasai awek2 la plak..aku malas la nk layan sebab penat sgt. Tapi aku ada la dok dengaq kisah dating budak2 ni ( Amy, G n Anis )…opss s..sorry . actually there is no story from Anis..tak dak experience katanya..ya la tu Anis..

G byak bagi tip jugak pasai “benda alah” nie dkt Amy..tapi malas la plak aku nk story morry ..hgpa tanya la G sendiri…tapi hebat la korang…ada kisah cinta …wooo ..woooo…dh mature… bak kata amy..”kalu tak cari kita tak dapat’..amy wa caya sama lu la..rock not dead…tak kisah la macam mana pun..tapi yg aku kisah sekarang ni ..hgpa (G,Amy n Anis) semua dh ada awek ka ?????? h aha

1000 hours , 12 Aug 2006, snorkeling, 5 places

The secret is now unveiled ..ha ha..G takut nk berenang..tak pa G sebab hg mai ngan kami..u still has time to learn before inviting ur awek to join u in future…

Tapi pi snorkeling ni memang best..gila best …sebab aku ada nampak indahnya ciptaan tuhan ..susoh oo nk dpt peluang mcm nie ..kecuali mereka2 yg ada duit..lepas 26 tahun baru la aku ada peluang nk snorkeling ..agak lambat but I’m fully satisfied with the chance given to me ..thank Allah..

However at last, G dapat jugak turun laut ..dengan bantuan amy..

What actually G said: wei…lawa wooooo…

Org dh nak balik dh…baru la mamat nie nk sebut pasai perkataan “lawa’…but for those nk ushar how G “terapung” atas air laut..then see d lovely picture.. yeah…good luck G

2330 hours , 12 Aug 2006 , dlm bilik no. 14

Amy and Anis started singing …hebat jugak sora budak2 nie…byak jugak la lagu2 yg depa nie lagukan..rojak pun ada gak..tapi aku mcm biasa la..dok tokok tambah..mana yg tau aja aku masuk..but the secret of the G revealed again..

G said : wei Anis! Hg nyanyi la lagu endon…..alaaa…lagu baru gak la..best wooo lagu tu

Anis replied: lagu apa? Hg nyanyi la corus dia skit..pastu aku sambung
