Puisi Untuk Suamiku

Suamiku,

Ketika usia kita makin menganjak

Aku teramat bersyukur 

Kerna kau tidak pernah jemu untuk bersamaku

Kita selalu berbicara tentang hari tua kita

Bagaimana kita akan menghabiskan sisa usia kita

Aku jua tidak pernah jemu memanjatkan doa

Agar kita dapat sentiasa bersama 

Untuk meraikan hari-hari istimewa kita

Selamat hari lahir suamiku

Semoga dikau sentiasa diberkati Allah

Di kurniakan segala rahmat dan kebaikan

Aku ingin sentiasa bersamamu

Pada detik ini, tarikh ini dan ketika ini

Pada setiap tahun untuk meraikan hari lahirmu ini

Aku ingin mengukir kenangan kita

Bersama permata permata hati kita

Agar mereka sentiasa ingat dan peka

Bahawa aku ini sentiasa mencintai dan menghargaimu.

Happy birthday to my dearest husband.
No matter how many years passed, you will always be the man of my dreams.

It Feels Like Yesterday

“Childhood friendship is the most beautiful memory that can’t ever be replaced”

Ask anyone out there and everyone will agree with this quote. Everybody has their own special times and memories during childhood and so do I.

I guess the best time was during my school days, the days when I was still young and innocent. We had no Ipad, PS2, Xbox or whatever kind of gadgets and tablets. We also didn’t have any satellite TV around that time. No Facebook or Twitter.

What I knew was, wake up in the morning – go to school – come home – sleep and the routine repeats for the next day. Our kind of entertainment was only playing masak2, police & thieves, hide & seek, galah panjang and more outdoors activities… but I still feel that they were the best times that I ever had in my childhood time.

27 years after high school I am still in contact with a few friends till now. Some of the friends just disappeared from my life until the Facebook was invented! Thanks for that anyway.. I was a bit late with this FB thingy, which just joined 3 years ago.

Only then.. I got to be connected with my school friends one by one. It is a blessed as we got to see and update each other’s life virtually. Though some of us were thousand miles apart, we can still chat and talk like we were young.

During my recent trip back to Malaysia, I managed to catch up with a few childhood friends. Due to the time constraint, I wouldn’t be able to gather and see many of my girlfriends plus I guess I was not among the popular one in school.. hahahhaha..

This is my picture with Zaza. She is currently having a lung cancer. Oh my dear friend, I always pray for you. I always pray that you will get better and be strong healthy.

I was also being able to meet Syamie. Though we only had a couple of hours together, it meant so much to me. Both of us were talking like a bullet train catching each other’s life.

This is my always-beautiful buddy – Abby. During our school days, she was always the famous and popular one. The one with pretty face who would turns everybody’s head. She was always my partner in crime! Hahahha.. I miss u so much Abby. I miss the days we always had fun together.

I am also got to meet Milah who is now “Datin”. She is now looked so pretty, Yuana and also the always cute cheeky smiley face, Wan Silmina. I always remember Mina’s happy smiling face.

Last but not least – my always BFF – Hazidah. I always make a point to meet her and also Fairuz whenever I got back to Kedah. This time around we were missing Fairuz as she couldn’t join us.

I am pleased though these were only a few that I could meet. After 27 years I guess we just never change!! All of you will always be in my heart my dear friends.

Oman... I am home!

After 3 weeks in Malaysia, I am currently back to my home sweet home in Oman. Yes..!! Back to reality and no more holiday..

Most of our times in Malaysia were spending moments with family, friends and running some errands. We go out almost every day! Of course, this was not what my children enjoyed but we had no choice but to drag them along.

Towards the end of our time in Malaysia, all of us just couldn’t wait to get back to Oman. I guess it was probably because we just felt unsettled with our luggage around and also knowing the fact that we only have time limits there.

Well.. now I am missing my father, Mak, relatives and friends there. I am also bit disappointed not to be able eating some of my favorites food. Yeah.. ‘makan’ has always be the main agenda but with the time limits and also the limitation of my tummy that won’t be able to eat so many times a day – meleleh air liur je lah sekarang…

Insyaalah if time permits, I will be back again to my beloved country. 

Balik Kampung!

Just like others, I am too excited and looking forward to ‘balik kampung’. Tonight is our flight going back to Malaysia. Yeehaaa…

We are lucky, as Eid falls on the summer school holiday. We will be able to spend more time with our beloved back in Malaysia.

I am almost done with my packing except for the the little things that can be packed last minute, that can still wait…. while I am updating my post here!

Thinking about going back to Malaysia… hmmm… weeks ago I already had a long list of ‘what to do’, ‘where to go’ and ‘what to eat’. Excited! Excited!!

I am also cannot to wait to see my father, Mak, my other children and relatives.

Well.. to everyone who will be going back to balik kampong – have a safe journey. Biar lambat asalkan selamat dan ingatlah orang yang tersayang menanti anda.
