Redha

Posted by rotidua at 05:42 AM on November 8, 2005.

Pakcik kata, 
"Jangan nangis ye. Kita redhakan dia"
Pintu langit terbuka luas
Mudah jalannya
Cantiknya dia nak berjumpa dengan Tuhan
Ingat janji kita? 
Dari Allah kita datang, kepada Allah kita kembali
Kita tak terkilan 
Semua sempat jumpa, sama-sama beraya 
Sempat bersalam
Kuatnya dia genggam tangan
Nek bertuah kan
Doa sedekah tak putus-putus
Dari anak-anak, cucu-cucu, cicit-cicit 
Insya Allah 

Allahyarhamah Habsah binti Ibrahim kembali ke rahmatullah pada 3 Syawal 1426. Al-Fatihah.

Recuperating

Posted by rotidua at 08:58 AM on November 15, 2005.

Thank you all for your kind words and doa. I pray that Allah bless your souls, Insya Allah. 

No words could describe how grateful I was to be there, to witness, to be able to tell my children and to learn most valuable lesson in life: that above all, our family will be there for us until the end of our life. Buruk, gaduh macamana pun, itu lah orang yang kita harap nak doakan kita (other than blood family, consider that as a bonus). So people, never neglect your family!

I would like to think that I am a better person and more faithful after that day. These days, I looked around me and see people I want to be beside me on my D* bed. I think of the ‘investments’ I’ve made so far and in future and whether it would be enough to ...ya know, wipe out those big and small sins. I wonder if my children, by then, equipped with doa and surah-surah to recite for me. Oh, I hope they pray sunat hadiah for me. Do you know what is solat sunat hadiah? I didn’t. I was told that it’s a solat that one performed with niat that the pahala goes to a specific arwah or something like that. Amazing! You can transfer your good deed to someone else. (Correct me if I’m wrong, please)

Each house I went, I imagined if it’s gonna be a hindrance to carry out jenazah from the house. Can I request that my daughter(s), my mom or sisters give me my last bath? Strangers may be rough plus I’m a shy person. Those yang berkenaan, bawak-bawaklah belajar menguruskan jenazah. 

I wish I smell and look as good as Nek when Firhad, my children/grandchildren and siblings kiss me for the last time. I wonder if anyone would raise his/her hand to claim outstanding debts (banks don’t usually send their reps at funerals, kan? Or else, my waris may have a handful *gulp*). 

I never really give a thought of where my grave should be. It’s gonna be my amalan that would determine my comfort level, anyway. Probably, untuk kemudahan orang-orang dunia, it should be where it's easily accessible and visible. Ya la, kalau tak nampak kuburnya, takut terlupa nak sedekah Al-Fatihah ke or paling kurang pun bagi la salam. I would like my name to be called as … binti Anita instead of binti Hawa.  Can I have my name both in jawi AND rumi on my tomb stone, just so that my grandchildren or anyone else could find my kubur easily?  I wish my husband and my son(s) are the last to carry me into liang lahad. Will my husband stay put to teman me after everyone leaves or will he walk away quickly to find new Ibu for my children?

Hmm… I should stop here. Sebak lak rasa and err *goose bumps* ler.

Okay, so what did you forget to bring/buy/prepare during Raya?

These are my list:

1. Firhad's butang Baju Melayu (for 2nd raya cum Friday prayer)
2. My tudung (duh!)
3. Naim's songkok. Must still be somewhere in Melaka. Naim used it as a container for his munchies.
4. Kuih raya for our house!

Happy Birthday Tulisje

Posted by rotidua at 11:43 AM on November 17, 2005.

Unlike my 28th birthday, my sister will remember it for a few good things ( I hope)

One, my mom's trip to her home. Made last year, my mom had a great trip and my sister had quite a bit to write home about.

Secondly, major changes are afoot. By next year, she'll embark on a journey unlike any other before. One that is potentially life changing (mine did) but most importantly, rewarding. 

But, unlike yours truly, whose sister buys him Frank Miller's comics on his birthdays and sends them home, I wouldn't know what to buy for her.

In fact, come to think about it, I don't know much about my sister.

So dear sister, the next time you're back, I'll make some time for you eh?

Joining my mom in wishing you a happy birthday. And good luck.

Saya Seorang Penyamun

Posted by rotidua at 10:49 AM on November 26, 2005.

Ya! Saya seorang penyamun, saya adalah yang terbaik. Bak kata bapa saudara saya, 'be the best in what ever you do'. Strategi saya adalah 'low risk, high return'. Ya! saya akan menyamun kedai-kedai runcit dan pejabat kecil. 

Low risk kerana tidak syak lagi, tempat-tempat sebegitu tiada CCTV. Pekerja-pekerja nya pun, alahai...lalai sokmo. Sambil saya kutip barang jualan, sambil tu la saya kaup handphone yang terdampar kat atas meja. Easy weh! Bukannya diorg ni perasan pun. Yang leceh kalau pesen yang gantung handhone kat leher. Trendy la tuh? Tak bley cari makan tau. 

Alarm? amatlah saya takk heran. Alarm cuma diaktifkan sewaktu kedai/pejabat tutup. Siang-siang buta takkan la nak pasang alarm. Pejabat kecik, kerana selalunya tiada 'access control'. Setakat nota tulisan tangan 'Penjual tidak dibenarkan masuk' - itu adalah lawak antarabangsa semata.

'High return' kerana saya percaya pada rezeki ala kadar. Prinsip saya, makan sebelum lapar berhenti sebelum kenyang. Dapat handphone sebijik-dua, laptop, duit kertas sehelai dua..jadilah. Bukannya ada anak-bini yang saya nak kasi makan pun. Lagi besar kawah, lagi besarla keraknya kan. Ala kadar je cukupla.

Maut jangan dicari, rezeki jangan ditolak. Kadang-kadang tu, mudah sangat saya dapat kunci kereta. Macam dipanggil-panggil. Kalau tak percaya, nah! keretanya pun ada kat depan mata. Kalau yang ade alarm tu, di 'tet-tet' kan saje, hah jumpa la keretanya. Tapi susah juga kalau dapat kereta ni, minyak penuh kalu - ok! Minyak tak penuh? Takkan nak berhenti isi minyak beb? Kalau cepat, swipe credit card si empunya kereta. Alah...tak sempat block punya. Bank ade macam-macam procedure. 

Polis? huh jangan nak buat kelakar. Ni bukan Las Vegas yang ade crime lab tuh. Kalau ade finger print, air ludah, darah sekalipun..nak dicarik dalam database mana? Pejabat Pendaftaran? Weh, sesama pejabat kerajaan bercakap ke? Lagipun, saya masih memakai ic lama *kenyit mata sikit*.

Topeng semua tu kalut la. Saya rimas.. silap pakai nanti , ye lah, kita kerja macam ni memang cemas berpeluh kan. Mnyak-minyak muka tu boley bawak jerawat. Isk mintak jauh la sume bende tak elok tuh. Alah, kalau diorg nampak muka saya pun, bukannya ade artis yang bley lukis... itu pasal strategi kena penting. Saya bukan samun banyak, setakat 2-3 ribu punya kes..takde makna nya datuk-datuk tu nak kejar. Takde publisiti tau.  

Saya berharap kerjaya saya ini berterusan dan berkembang pesat. Satu pesanan saya, 'alpa selalu!'.

===================================

Dearest people, 

Be aware, stay alert. If such things happen, you have nothing but to blame yourself. Never depend on others to take care of your own security. 

Love, 
Rotidua
