...keseronokan hati ku..adalah keramahan Mak Sedara suami ku...Mak Cik dan Mak Teh yang melayan kami bagai anak anak mereka...tak menang tangan menyua lauk dan kuih..tak berhenti henti Pak Cik kedapur ketengah kedepan melihat kami adik beradik makan ...seronoknya..terasa kalau ada mak mertua pun bertambah tambah meriah lah suasana..
Semuanya..mesra bersopan dengan adab pekerti termahal di dunia..
Selepas solat zohor kami masuk kedalam kereta masing masing..tak di sangka..aku di serahkan dengan tepak sirih..kepala sebarang majlis..
sesampai kami di kawasan perumahan bakal tunang anak buah kami..kami di sambut dengan mesra beberapa wanita dan lelaki mengajak kami naik ke atas...(tingkat 5)
..aku yang termuda ..melangkah hadapan sekali..aku membaluti suasana dengan Bismillah dan memohon kepada Allah semua perkara akan berlaku dengan aman dan sentosa. Sesampainya di muka pintu..aku yang mula melangkah kedalam kerana tepak sirih pembuka kata ada pada ku..
setelah semua barang di letak di tengah rumah...tuan rumah, mungkin pak sedara kepada bakal tunang anak kami membuka mulut..

Hopes
Sweetheart (Continue)
They took her into the emergency room at the ward, and around 8.00 pm they came out and informed me two news..not great but better. They did not make a hole in her head, they managed to force the medicine in the vein or artery (not sure what) at her thigh. The medicine worked and the fits stops, but the other news is worst, she is tranferred back to ICU.
She stays there around a week or more, who is counting but there was not much hope, I will not get the same normal baby.
When she was transferred again to the paediatrics, i counted the injections scars, it is about 100 injections. Poor baby, luckily she has lost her consiousness and did not feel the pain.
She has turn to a baby, her feeding has gone to an infant intake. From 8 ounce back to 2 once, she is not crawling but lie on her back like a 2 day baby. The doctor tried to make me understand but I do not want to give up. "They claim she is turning to be a baby, maybe worst, she might lost her hearing, eyesight and worst of all she will be a "special baby".
After she was discharged from the hospital, we have a lot of followups.., scanning the brain again and again, hearing and eyesight problem.
She was 24 months and she is still crawling, I can see to that. She is slow, (very) but she is improving. Her food intake was still at baby intake.
Talking about speech, sorry, she did not say things that we will understand. Except for my mother, she understand plenty.
At last afer 26 months, she started to walk, one step at a time, and every time she will just fall flat on her face. Once when she was scanned, I was took into a consultation room, thinking that I had banged her head. I had to explained that she was attacked by meningitis and that explained all the water around her brain or skull, not sure what.
When she was 5, I sent her to preschool, explaining to the teacher of the class that she cannot speak that can be understand. I hope she will learn one of two words, but not much hope.
When she was 7, again I had to explained to the teacher of the class that not to leave any verbal message because she will not know what to say to me at home. There are few occasions that my husband send her to the school with no one around. The school closed that day.
But now, she is nine, she has been speaking fluently, she understand plenty, she is still learning to read, but she is very good in memorizing (I call it cheating because she always do that to escape my tutor on the reading or counting).
She had only one bad ear (not so good in hearing). She has been participating in games in school. This year she managed to pass 4 subjects. That is, a big achievements for me.
Every sentence she managed to read without memorising, is an achievements, every piece of drawing is an achievements, every message that was passed to me is an achievements, every fights she wins from her sister and brother is an achievement.
Most of my neighbor loves her for her innocent smile and greeting. She is no special kids. She is my sweetheart.

Sweetheart - continue
Unfortunately, Only mother is allowed to be in the ICU, my husband can only visit once a while, he can only pop in and out of the icu but cannot stay in the ward. I am given a stool to sit when I am tired after a long period of standing.
Her cubicle is in the middle, on the same day, there were two death, the baby that is at her right side and another young man around the corner and there is death everyday.
There was an incidence that make me cry, I can feel the lost as what had happened to a mother that was seated far left (corner) reading her bible, and that it was her last son, the third son that had perished to luekemia. She was so calmed. (We are advised not to talk or visit one another in the ICU). I gave her my most supportive look.
There was another incidence, just next to me, a young mother lost her first baby. That day I cant controlled myself, I was about to approach her, she was crying, holding her lifeless baby wrapped in the white cloth, but again was warned not to touch her, they said, remember , you have a baby yourself and you might transfer the virus from her body, I stop abruptly, reverse to my seat.
Then, suddenly I had that strength. God, I am your servant, I am ready for your test.
Every death, scares me a lot (no words can be transcribed my feeling on how scared I am). Praying very hard she should not be next.
On the next day, the doctor asked our permission to make a lumbar puncture, to have some test on what actually had attacked her brain. Do we have any choice to say no when she is lying helplessly on the bed , unconsious ?. The doctor managed to find out that there is a bacteria in her. They will be giving some medicine. There was no promises and I am aware on all the consequences.
After 72 hours of not much difference, I was asked to called her name. I called here name so many times until I wish I could scream and she should be awake. There is no stir at all from her to come back to me. I ask for permission to sit next to her (actually we are suppose to sit about two feet away from her) I cant even touch her before. I read the Yassin, non stop, I do not remember did I stay awake or asleep, but I do remember everytime when I am awake, I am reading the Yassin again and again and praying very very hard. After the fourth day she was discharged to be sent to the Paediatric ward. She has regain consiousness. Goodnews that became worst.

sweetheart (part 1)
well this is not her best photo. She is trying to be very formal in case I hold her for another snap. She is to eager to jump out and play with her cousins. aida is her name. unplanned pregnancy. my fault, wrong count. who to be blamed, no one i guess. she came as a suprise. both not ready for the repeate diapers changing and sleepless nights and visits to doctors. her brother is going to be 5 that year. there are those haunting thoughts that crossed my mind at the early stage, once she started to kick i confirmed heart body soul and mind to keep her. i knew it is going to be her..but also wish to her a he for my husband sake. No, she did not make her present in my life to be any where disturbing me, she did not have morning sickness, nor she gave any untamed cravings. having her is the most easiest pregnancy that i went through, she is very obedient since in the womb. the part that she did not bother me at all, i only make the visit to the clinics after 28 weeks of pregnancy. yes, there were the scoldings. looking at my records, that it is not good at all, i am taking a risk. but who is carrying her, the mother..and who are they..mere doctors.
she came out with 3.5kg , yes c-section. healthy and we went home 5 days after delivery...September 20, the same day of her paternal grandmother. Same DATE. Since she is health, chubbier by the day (breastfeeding), she is left in my sister in law care after the 60 days are gone. She sleeps well, feed well, no problem at all.
that year, 2001 my mum went to do her hajj and my sister in law is left alone with her. she is 6 months old, chubby, healthy and is trying to crawl ..until she is caught by the fever....7 days..her fever is gone..thank god...but that day the D day..i received a phone call from the hospital asking me to rush to the emergency ward. not many words are exhange exept please hurryup.
my husband is on 24 hours duty...i rushed to the hospital and received a very shocking news..my daughters has left consiousness for more than 5 minutes...
it meant..my daughter brain did not get the oksigen for 5 solid minutes and this will affect her body soul and mind...she might be a vegetable...that was the first thing that was blurted out from the sweet pink lady doctor mouth that i wish that is not true...
she added your daughter is having brain fever, meningitis is the name. (tbc).

Sastera dan aku

Sahabat, Kawan, Kenalan, Rakan
Aku sudah menerima beberapa emails yang mengumumkan “Hari Persahabatan Sedunia”, terusik juga hati aku dengan kata kata seolah olah tulus murni dari kawan kawan aku, sungguh shahdu kata katanya, boleh terbuai perasaan seketika, almaklumlah aku seorang penyerap dan emotional pula, hampir menitis airmata ku kerana kebenaran kata kata yang di luahkan di dalam email tersebut yang mampu menyentuh hati aku yang memang terkenal lembik.
Termenung seketika, memikirkan kebenaran dari ayat ayat romantis tersebut. Selembek aku di keraskan dengan pengalaman. Kemanisan kata kata itu mungkin benar kepada aku dan pandangan aku terhadap sahabat sahabat aku yang dulu namun serasa aku , kawan kawan email aku masih gagal untuk membuktikan diri mereka walaupun seorang kenalan rapat. (Kawan email = officemate, universiti mate).
Jikalau aku bandingkan dengan sifat dan sikap sahabat aku di tingkatan enam, kawan kawan yang selebihnya tidak dapat pun meletakkan diri mereka 10 persen kewibaan sifat dan sikap seperti mereka apalagi untuk setara sebagai rakan. Mungkin masa, keadaan dan sikap yang mengagalkan mereka.
Teringat aku, Enab atau kami gelar Inspektor Sahab, Encah kami gelar Majistret dan aku, Eta sebagai Professor Tora. Pahit manis kami bersahabat bersambung selepas bekerja dan di sambung lagi sesudah beranak pinak. (Encah = 6 orang, Enab = 6 orang dan aku, Alhamdulillah 3 orang). Dalam semua anak anak itu kami mempunyai seorang anak yang sebaya = 1995 (ketiga tiga kami beranak di tahun yang sama, Enab bulan Januari, Encah 16 Ogos dan aku 30 Ogos). Dan hanya anak aku lelaki.
Allah Maha Kuasa, kami berpisah pisah setelah berkahwin. Namun terbukti jarak tidak langsung mengurangkan kasih sayang antara kami bertiga. Bersyukur aku kerana dalam kehidupan aku di phasa ini, aku di kurniakan untuk mengecapi kemanisan bersahabat. Teringin kami jodohkan anak anak kami bila mereka dewasa, namun kami akur jauh di sudut hati, biarlah mereka semua mencari jodoh sendiri. Jika berpeluang berjumpa, alamatlah, suami kami, anak anak kami di lupakan sementara, kami masih lagi bernasib baik, pandai pandailah mereka berinteraksi antara satu sama lain.
Ketika itu, aku teringat lagi duit gaji aku, selalu aku kongsikan dengan Enab yang menjadi guru sandaran selama beberapa tahun, setiap mula persekolahan, 4 bulan dia tak bergaji, tak apalah, sesama lah kami berkongsi. Bila gajinya di bayar sekaligus, macam rang kaya kami berbelanja. Encah, nasibnya di sunting awal, selepas keputusan STPM keluar, dia lulus juga macam kami, namun tidak cemerlang, macam kami juga. Tidak seorang pun dari kami menjejaki kaki ke Universiti. Buat masa ini aku sudah pun berada di tahun 2 menyambung pelajaran yang tergendala, sudah aku beritahu kepada Enab, dia pun tak lama lagi menyambung juga pelajarannya, mungkin dia akan ambil ijazah dalam pendidikan setelah berjaya mendapat diploma didalam pendidikan setelah lebih 10 tahun menjadi guru sandaran. Sekarang mengajar di jengka pahang. Encah pula telah pun jadi guru aerobik, selalu juga dia keluar di RTM 1, mengajar senamrobik, malangnya aku sekali pun tak pernah berpeluang menonton. Aku, masih bekerja di syarikat yang sama selama 18 tahun, dari bawah aku bekerja dan sekarang aku menjadi pentadbir di dalam syarikat itu.
Ku sambung lagi cerita kami ketika kami masih remaja, .Encah terpaksa serumah dengan aku selama beberapa bulan setelah emaknya mengusirnya keluar dari rumah sungguh terajis, Encah di libas dengan getah paip di depan mata aku, buku bukunya di baling ..berserakan di ruang tamu namun, setelah di lihatnya anak nya mendapat kerja, di pujuk nya pulang, marah keluarganya ada lah kepada aku. Aku sahaja buat buat bangang.
Enab di bawa lari pulang ke Pahang oleh keluarganya, setelah peristiwa itu, sebab peristiwa yang sama itu juga yang menyebabkan, encah di halau, tak perlu aku berkongsi peristiwa sebodoh itu menyebabkan 2 keluarga menyiksa anak anak mereka. Alhamdulillah, ibu aku, menerima Encah. Encah pandai mengambil hati ibu, kami seronok seperti adik beradik.
Setelah keluarga Enab berjaya kami pujuk, mengatakan Enab mendapat kerja sebagai guru, ayahnya membenarkan dia datang ke KL semula, ayah Enab datang kerumah ku, untuk melihat aku si Eta yang menjadi mastermind. Setelah di lihatnya aku si kecik ini , tak tergamak dia memarang aku (di ceritakan enab, ayahnya teringin sangat nak memarang aku). Keluarga aku yang berbudi bahasa, ayah aku yang peramah, maka dengan yakinnya di tinggalkan Enab di rumah aku untuk memulakan pekerjaan. Bertambah lagi seorang anak dara di rumah ku.
Tetapi peristiwa pahit itu menjadi semanis manisnya apabila kami sudah bekerja, aku di terima oleh keluarga mereka dengan baik, baik keluarga Encah dan keluarga Enab. Aku beberapa kali ikut Enab pulang ke Pahang, baru lah seronok dapat balik kampung, aku budak KL apa kampung aku ada. Untungnya berkawan orang berkampung. Tersengih aku ketika mengingatkan hari hari manis aku di Pahang, bukan kerana ada terjumpa buaya friend..tetapi, keseronokan dengan keluarga si Enab yang ramai. Ayahnya pun aku sayangi. Ada juga aku dan Enab cuba menjodohkan adiknya yang perempuan dengan adik aku si lelaki, kedua duanya setuju, malangnya ketika adik Enab turun ke KL, adik aku membawa girlfriendnya pulang kerumah.
Pada mulanya kedua duanya (Enab dan Encah) menginap di rumah aku. Kami memang seronok, ibu aku pun senang kerana kami bertiga yang membuat kerja rumah, lama juga Enab duduk di rumah aku, seingat aku selama 4 tahun atau lebih. Encah sudahpun berkahwin dan mengikut suaminya bekerja di Kedah.
Satu hari, Enab datang ke tempat kerja aku, di tanya nya aku dengan wajah murah, apa perasaan aku jika dia di pinang, aku pun terdiam, seperjalanan hidup kami bersama, kami tidak berbuaya friend langsung. Hidup kami cukup. Apakan daya, ku katakan kepada dia, dia juga tak ada lelaki lain di dalam hidupnya, apa lagi di tunggu, aku tahu aku akan kehilangan seorang sahabat lagi. Dia hanya mahu aku mengatakan tolak, aku tahu, tak tergamak aku menjadi tamak kerana selama mana nak ku tahan dia. Selama aku berkawan dengannya, tak bernasib pula kami untuk di jeling pun oleh lelaki. Jika rezeki jodoh sudah tiba, taatlah kami kepadanya.
Tak lama, 6 bulan selepas itu dia bernikah. Aku SOLO...dan dari hari itu..aku belum mempertemukan seorang pun sahabat yang dapat menggantikan tempat tempat mereka yang telah pun berada jauh dari aku, seorang di kedah, seorang di pahang.
Mungkin ada yang terkejut, kedua dua mereka, tidak langsung mempunyai email address. Kami masih lagi berhubung melalui telefon hingga hari ini. Anak Encah pun sudah boleh di panggil sorang mahasiswa, mungkin sudah graduate.
Kurasakan kauorang semua dapat meneka aku ini sudah tentu tua renta. Aku sudah melalui alam pekerjaan selama 24 tahun...kira lah sendiri...

Ego
Boleh kah seorang isteri memasang ego ? dan apa ke jadahnya ego ini..
Ego dalam pengertian rumahtangga...tidak mahu beralah akan pegangannya ke atas kehendak kehendaknya (seorang isteri)
Bolehkah kita memasang ego demi kesejahteraan rumahtangga...bagi Seri..jikalau kehendak itu tidak berpasakkan agama..maka bodoh lah seorang isteri itu dan rugi lah dirinya yang memegang watak isteri.., bila kita berkeputusan degil, hendaklah kita sandarkan kewarasan degil itu dari segi syarak dan tuntutan agama.
Isteri yang berwawasan, cerdik adalah lambamg kesejahteraan sebuah keluarga, tunggak kejayaan sebuah keluarga juga keamanan sebuah keluarga. Ia amat banyak memerlukan pengorbanan seorang isteri dan hanya isteri yang waras layak memegang ego.
Ego seorang isteri yang waras, sesekali tidak akan di benarkan anak anaknya melihat kekurangan suaminya, dia rela keras hati demi menjaga hati anak anaknya Anak anak di larang sekali memikul masalah hatinya yang dia sendiri tidak dapat menguruskan.
Isteri yang hanya nampak kekurangan suami, bagai di butakan hatinya tidak dapat meraih kesempatan yang turun yang diberikan sepercuma itu. Setiap bencana adalah ujian memertabakan dia ke peringkat yang lebih tinggi.
Masalah masalah seorang isteri kerana kekurangan kekurangan suami kerana sentiasa menginginkan suami idealistic akan kecundang akhirnya. Mana mungkin kita mendapat kan suami yang kita inginkan sedang suami kita juga tidak dapat seorang isteri yang dia inginkan.
Pertama tama...ketika menginjaki alam perkahwinan...apa kah berlaku paksaan ke atas diri kita..jika tidak..maka kita sudah akur akan sumpah setia kita kepada allah untuk menjadi seorang isteri yang taat lagi sabar akan ujian Allah ke atas diri kita. Maka selalulah kita paling paling kebelakang.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha 1429
tahun ini..."KORBAN dan Penghayatan"
setiap tahun semasa berkhubah..pengorbanan 3 hamba allah di ulang ulang..Seorang bapa, seorang anak dan seorang isteri..
keyakinan seorang ayah dan anak..membuktikan kekuatan iman ...pengorbanan tiada tolok banding..kerana allah dan hanya untuk allah...
Kini..berbagai bagai pengorbanan masih lagi di perlukan..
..dimulakan dari dalam rumah itu sendiri..pengorbanan ibu dan ayah kepada anak anak..pengorbanan isteri kepada suami dan anak anak...pengorbanan anak anak kepada ibu dan ayah..
pengorbanan keluarga itu kepada masyarakat..pengorbanan masyarakat kepada keharmonian daerah..negeri dan negara...
pengorbanan pengorbanan ini jika bertunjangkan ...hanya untuk allah ..kerana allah..maka tidaklah susah lagi kita di muka bumi ini yang sentiasa memohon pengorbanan pengorbanan yang seterusnya..sehingga lah..habis hayat seseorang itu di muka bumi ini...
terlalu banyak pengorbanan yang di lakukan kerana..suami..bukan kerana allah..kepada anak dan masih tak bersandarkan kerana allah..menjadikan pengorbanan pengorbanan itu semuanya menjadi duri dalam daging pula ...
bersabar kerana tuntutan agama..makan sehingga hilang pedih ngeri di luar zahir takkan terlibat akan batin...
bukan mudah..kerana kita hanyalah manusia yang di bekal ..seketul akal dan sebongkal nafsu...

discuss
in any decision you are making, you should consult..and do not tell (what I mean is you should consult your better half by discussing your decision and forbid yourself as if you are telling your decision) that is called compromising
as a wife and a woman in this new era. especially here in the metropolitan, kuala lumpur..you tend to forget that you are not suppose to make decision by yourself that affect the family..
maybe you are a CEO or managing director or a manager or as mere as a coordinator...you are not any of that in the house that you shared with your family..
you are humble mother, a loving wife, an advisor but not a decision maker...unless you are assure to make a decision...
decision on preparation of a dishes need to be weigh properly..what the family wants and not wat you want..and you have to make sure..your husband favourite is the rule of the thumb of the planned dishes that you are going to put on the table..(yechhh) yes, but making your husband happy and respecting his needs are what a happy family is (yes another yechhh).
woman..me and you, sacrificies need to be done...plenty...a lot..zillions..to make sure the house run smoothly...(we did sacrificies and we do not even bother to count them)..as long the house is quite ...peaceful and harmony...that what is should be...
oh Seri stop tochering yourself with this advice...
yes..my inner heart..i am telling myself..to love yourself is to respect others on their perspective..
yeah..and i am grabbing my favourite food at the mall later.. and that what we call..compromising..

More of my feelings
yeah i can agree to that...
but..blog is something like a daily dairy..where you pour your feelings..your frustrations your achievements..your happiness..your stress and wish someone to read it..
yeah i can agree to that too
but a proper person like me..(half proper)..i would never write down 100% of my feelings..
(there is still a department for me to hide my darkest side)...
and I know and realise ...
you cant trust anyone..that call human..
