A Blissful Hari Raya

Alhamdulillah, tq Allah 4 granted a chance for us to meet 1 Syawal 1431..So,how was your hari raya??A day with joy??or a day with sadness? or maybe a day that brought 'kg(s)' to u??makan,makan dan makan!hehe..My hari raya??Hmmm..i give 87 marks out of 100..so??Still considered as 'grade A'..Where's another 13 marks??Hurrmm,deducted sbb kna drive bout 6 hours mnuju ke utara..damn tired!!Whateva pun,i had a very blissful hari raya :) hoyehhh!!

I am grateful that i grew up in a quite big family. My dad has 10 siblings n he is ninth, while my mom is seventh out of eight..So,no wonder la my eldest cousin is older than my mom.Hoh??But,....with up to 50 granchildren n now the count for 'cicit' is reaching up to 70 (yeah,i couldnt remember al names),agak terkilan coz both of my grandpa n grandma x berkesempatan mnyaksikan kembang biak keturunan dorang..Al fatihah buat Tok Wan,Tok Som,Atok n Opah~

Hmm,got no 'super bestgiler' story bout my raya fest..Juz like you..Kalo wktu tido anda ditemani ngan 'bedtime story',then i should say that our hari raya telah dipenuhi dgn 'rayatime story'..yer,crite yg sm akn diulang stiap kali raya (sumpah dh hafal!!)..Tak pcaya???Your dad will hardly convince u that he was once a true jaguh kampong n his hand made meriam buluh x pnah dikalahkan kg sbelah.Your mom will start convincing u that dulu2, she is a very hardworking ank dara n being admired by few teruna kg...hmmm...then,both of them akan bukak citer bahawa nenek moyang kite patot dibanggakan hv been dubbed as heroes for risking their life to help fighting the penjajah..Adakah ia berbunyi agk keterlaluan??hehehe..nvm la..So,am i a grandchild of an unsung Hero Malaya??Mngkin hero2 sampingan yg x msuk buku sjarah kot...:p

But when i talk bout 'story telling' ni,mmg xde sape dpt menyaingi my Mak Uda..pergghhhh..sape ank buah yg xleh ulang criter2 mak uda,mmgla korang byk mkn semut!!Sbb mmg itula yg diulang every year..Citer cmne Mak Uda kali ptama jumpe ayh uda ialah pd hari nikah mereka..wow..it is no longer common in our society today to marry d one u hv never seen b4!!N oso zmn ank dara wearing a beautiful kebaya with an hour glass like figure(phewwwiitt..)..Wlaupun crite tu sntiasa diulang,we luv to hear it...We were nailed to freezily sitting in front of her,tnpa dipaksa,n enjoy all stories....Hurmm..... :) I luv my big family!!!!!

PERTEMBUNGAN BUDAYA...???hurrmmmm...

I read a newspaper last two days, n I dunno why I was struck with this news headline..only the headline ok,not the story inside..hehe...Wat is your 1st jdgment or impression once u read this title??Let me guess....An inter-racial marriage??nop??Hmmm..inter-cultural marriage??oso nop??ok....hmm..How bout international student exchange program??(shaking head~)..or maybe cultural split in one's personality??(eh,am i going too far from your expectation??haHaa..)Nevamind la..I'm juz guessing..:p

Actually,there's nothing serious bout this topic...it juz remind me bout my dad's story a decade ago..There was a woman who married to his kampung colleague,somewhere in Kedah(mai dengaq ceghita..:p)..But i couldn't remember where that lady came from..i mean,her hometown..lupe la..but d one i really sure, she is not a 'kedahan'..

Tell u,ank sulung dia diletak bwh jagaan her mom in law kat kedah..biasala,bru nk mula idop,tumpang ank smentara nk cari tapak kat kl..well,budak kecik tu dh sebati ngan sna n kedah dialects become her mother tongue..Then,bile mak dia balik raya,mak dia cam kurang fhm dia ckp pe..N one day...jeng..jeng..jeng...

He asked her mom.."mak,chek nak ndoi.."..he cried n repeated that statement again n again.."nk ndoi...nak ndoi.."..Mak dia pjuk n dgn pnuh sifat keibuan menuju ke dapur..."ok..nah ni,dodol..."...Hoh??..wait,for those who didn't know, 'ndoi' for kedahan is 'buai'...so,that baby was actualy asking for buaian,ok??Hmmm~ Huhuhu..nseb bek musim raya??kalo x,satu hal plak mak dia nk kcau dodol..

I still remember this story even abah citer 10 thun lepas..I hope this is a true story coz abah mmg suke citer2 ntuk buat ktorang ktawa..tp kna 'filter' gak certain stories coz until now, I can't believe when abah told us that abah pnah pnjat Gunung Jerai,terserempak ngan beruang,n beruang lari tengok misai abah...hihiihiiii...'tayapawau'...kurang lentik sket je dr A Galak.. :p
So,how to categorize my above title??A story of inter-cultural marriage??Hmmm..

Jadi,kalo nk kawen ngan org yg agak2 'kurang sama' budayanye, berusahalah untuk memahami,or setidak2nye spaya anda tidak ditertawakan..Bru je having a 'gado berilmiah' (errkk??) with my 'tuuttt..' bout kuah lodeh vs kuah lontong,bubur pisang vs pengat pisang,roti cicah sup...yes,we're alwiz fighting bout food!!haHa..N 2 be honest,i dont eat tapai n bru je nk blaja 'suke' tempe...ohohoh...how could i survive with javanese???Hmmm..yes, i could survive..insyAllah.. :)

SI BODOH MEMPERBODOHKAN.......????

Wait readers!!!Dont close this tab yet coz i'm not here to 'kutuk2' or talking bad bout others..Yup,title yg agk kurang sopan,but mind you,'bodoh' is juz an antonym for pandai,n a synonym for 'kurang bijak'..Kamus Dewan explained it as 'sukar memahami sesuatu'..so,besides using that long definition,why not we juz use 'bodoh'??haHa

This story happened few months ago (masih x lapuk dek hujan,x lekang dek panas) when i was at one famous shopping mall, looking for an original cd of Maher Zain. Juz in case u didn't know,he is a top new star of modern islamic music. Make it short, i stepped into d speedy shop n started to slit my eyes looking for that cd..unluckily,i didn' find one..Then, i asked d salesperson in charge.."Boleh tlg carikan cd Maher Zain x?"..That gurl mcm x brape tau n she said "xpnah dgr pun pnyanyi tu"..owh,ok..quite shocked with her answer,i try to find it on my own..n that gurl g kat kaunter,talk to her colleague,but then i heard the sound of giggling..wonder~Suddenly,her colleague come in front of me n say "Kak,kalo nk cri cd cramah agama mmg xde kat sni"...wat?????So i guess i know wat they were laughing for juz now..They laughed at me!!!Hoh..n ak pn trus kuar dr kdai tu..

xtau nk mrh or nk gelak...who should be awarded d 'stupid' title actually??Me or...???Yeah, that is human...sometimes,we keep laughing at others without realizing that we r actually laughing at our own stupidity..sejak ble plak maher zain tu berceramah??hoho..as a salesperson,u supposed to b updated with all these..kalo x pun,ask your customer leklok bout d details n help them!!ok??Watevala..coz kalo nk diikutkan,ak sndri pnah mentertawakan org yg diperbodohkn org lain..(astaghfirullah~ya ampun!)~tell u wat??kire adil la...1-1 draw!!heHe..

It was Thursday morning when i took my breakfast at canteen with my frenz..nyam3.. then dtg 3 org lg (guys)..ooppss,b4 i go further,juz nk explain fakta ttg 'minuman'..hehe..k,when we order 'milo ais',gmbaran yg kite dpt is 'milo+susu+ais'..rite??N oso for 'teh ais = teh+susu+ ais'..i bet u know la!!Then when we place our order 'milo O' or 'teh O' ,that means, milo tanpa susu or teh tanpa susu..am i rite??

These 3 guys chat sesame dorang n ble waitress(makcik) dtg amek order,they placed their order..but my happy chewing moment was distracted by their last order..uhuk uhuk (choking sound)..Makcik tu dgn slumber n konfiden,tulis n trus g blakang..U know wat?They asked for 'Susu O'..hah??my 'not so clever' brain still at its maximum functioning level ya..that means,'susu tanpa susu'??wat d heck was it..n dorang gelak2..yeah,quite funny (yet silly),but i tried so hard to not laugh coz tkut plak kot2 dorang de double meaning(men have their private 'Double Meaning Dictionary')haHA!!Cume yg x tahannye,mkcik tu xdtg2 pn.Juz after 10 minutes,bru dia dtg ngan muka blurr n ckp "Hah???susu O??"..N unintendedly,we(including me..hehe) laughed out loud looking at her comel+kompius face..Adooii,lmbatnye tndakan rfleks mkcik..hihi..sian dia tmengah2 ulang alik..

But i think,xde niatpun dorang nk mmperbdohkan..coz after that they asked 4 her apology 'gurau2 je makcik'..hehe...nvm la..:p So,my point is,x slh nk bergurau or mlawak.Cume kdg2 crtain org suke create silly jokes yg smpai mnjatuhkan or memalukan org lain..So watch out ya..jgn smpai lawak bdoh anda menyerlahkan lg kebodohan anda n menjatuhkan maruah org....ooOpPppss..!!!!heHehE..till we meet again!

Laying on my bed in a pin-drop silent,listening to a very sentimntal song,Unintended by Muse n suddenly get a 'sudden idea' of writing here.. Hmmm..not so sudden la,coz i keep thinking bout dis after a very cute yet touchable discussion with my 8 yrs old little brother,Apiz, few hours ago..We went to psr mlm together,n having so much fun singing in my luvly car,Cik Bibah..Lalalaala..Suddenly,he stared at one sexy gurl passing on the road...n of course,i stared at him in return.."hey,pndg pe tu??"..N he replied.."ish2,,nape kakak tu pkai cmtu?"..Fuhh,thank God,juz worry if he will shout a 'feewwiitt'!!..Mau aku brek mngejut!!
Then he asked me,"Angah,u wanna hear a story??"..."Sure,wat is it??"..
Errr,actually we communicate in malay ya..hehe,eksyen lbey!!..K,smbung...
Then,he told me a story which told by his ustazah...I guess many of us hv heard bout dis...

A story bout a lady with her best fren,Ayat Kursi..Yes,her true believe to d power of ayt kursi which will alwiz protect n accompany her..To make it short,that lady nyaris2 dirogol sewaktu jln berseorangan oleh seorg lelaki..then di kala ketakutan amat sgt,dia tawakkal 'alallah dgn ayt kursi tu,n slamat..nk jd citer,sok kuar citer de prmpuan kna rgol d tmpat yg sma,juz a few mnit after dia lalu..n dia g ntuk jd saksi..ble pnjenayah trtngkap,dia smpat tnya,nape x rgol aku sblum prmpuan tu?..n pnjenyah tu jwb,aku melihat dua org lelaki yg sdg mnjaga dan mnemani kamu..Subhanallah..wallahualam~ correct me if i'm wrong coz dh ingat2 lupa cite ni..

But d most touchable point here was,he remind me to take care of myself whenever he's not around.."baca ayt kursi tau ble de org nk kaco angah!"..haha,wat a cute reminder!!So,guys outside,dont u ever dare to flirt on me ya!!hihihii
N d most important msg here is,jaga dri,hiasi pribadi..toksah la dok seksi2 sgt kot..budakpun bleh pk.huhuu~Sgt mnyentuh hati ble bdk berusia cmtu bleh bg psanan which i guess,truly comes from their heart n innocence..very innocent!They make judgement from wat they saw..what they heard..So,perlu dididik btul2 takut tersalah fahaman..

I still rmember when my little bro was six yrs old,besides scolding(sikit2la..) him whenever he did anything wrong,I always threatened him wif "nanti tuhan marah kang!!"..mybe bcoz I keep repeating it again n again,he get confused.."Malas la ngan Tuhan ni..asyik nk mrah je...TUHAN TU JAHAT KE??"...Hoh???then I realized tt my msg to him was undelivered.Pending!!.hihihi..so,tukar plan..Kalo dia gado2 ngan kwn dia,after kite explain nape dia xbleh gado2,we should add "kalo x gado n baik ngan kwn,mesti tuhan syg..."..Orait????Watch out n dont 4get to recite ayat kursi ya!!

ALLAH MEMILIHMU UNTUKKU vs AKU MEMILIHMU KRNA ALLAH

Honestly,ak bknla penyair yg hebat..pe lg kalo nk memahami bait2 puisi yg teramat puitis.Org ckp lain,kte phm lain...For example,if people say,'kau ibarat gula..'..
Wow!!so sweet..seolah2 betapa manisnye idup ni ngan kehadiran kite...tp ble pk2 blk,sugar cause diabetes rite???Hoho...
Tp tibe2,ak sgt terpaku dan terpana membaca sebuah nukilan yg sgt menyentuh hati dan naluri..here,i post it dgn hrpn sm2 dpt menyelami mksud tersirat nukilan yg sgt indah ini.....(Khas untuk bkl suamiku..ehem2!!..)

KETIKA ALLAH MEMILIHMU UNTUKKU.....

Padamu yang Allah pilihkan untukku..
Ketahuilah, aku hanya wanita biasa
dengan begitu banyak kekurangan dalam diriku,
Aku bukanlah wanita sempurna, seperti yang mungkin kau harapkan..
Maka, ketika Dia memilihmu untukku,
Maka saat itu, Dia ingin menyempurnakan kekuranganku dgn keberadaanmu.
Dan aku tahu, Kaupun bukanlah laki-laki yang sempurna..
Dan ku berharap ketidaksempurnaanku mampu menyempurnakan dirimu..
Karena kelak kita akan satu..
Aibmu adalah aibku, dan indahmu adalah indahku,
Kau dan aku akan menjadi 'kita'..


Padamu yg Allah pilihkan untukku..
Ketahuilah, sejak kecil Allah telah menempa diriku dgn ilmu dan tarbiyah,
Membentukku menjadi wanita yg mencintai Rabbnya..
Maka ketika Dia memilihmu untukku,
Maka saat itu, Allah mengetahui bahwa kaupun telah menempa dirimu dgn ilmuNya..
Maka gandeng tanganku dalam mengibarkan panji-panji dakwah dalam hidup kita..
Itulah visi pernikahan kita..
Ibadah pada-Nya ta'ala..


Padamu yg Allah tetapkan sebagai nahkodaku..
Ingatlah.. Aku adalah mahlukNya dari tulang rusuk yang paling bengkok..
Ada kalanya aku akan begitu membuatmu marah..
Maka, ketahuilah.. Saat itu Dia menghendaki kau menasihatiku dengan hikmah,
Sungguh hatiku tetaplah wanita yg lemah pada kelembutan..
Namun jangan kau coba meluruskanku, karena aku akan patah..
Tapi jangan pula membiarkanku begitu saja, karena akan selamanya aku salah..
Namun tatap mataku, tersenyumlah..
Tenangkan aku dgn genggaman tanganmu..
Dan nasihati aku dgn bijak dan hikmah..
Niscaya, kau akan menemukanku tersungkur menangis di pangkuanmu..
Maka ketika itu, kau kembali memiliki hatiku..


Padamu yang Allah tetapkan sebagai atap hunianku..
Ketahuilah, ketika ijab atas namaku telah kau lontarkan..
Maka dimataku kau adalah yang terindah,
Kata2mu adalah titah untukku,
Selama tak bermaksiat pada Allah, akan ku penuhi semua perintahmu..
Maka kalau kau berkenan ku meminta..
Jadilah hunian yg indah, yang kokoh…
Yang mampu membuatku dan anak-anak kita nyaman dan aman di dalamnya..
Dan ku yakin dari tanganmu yg penuh berkah, kau mampu membentuk mereka..
Dengan hatimu yg penuh cinta, kau mampu merengkuh hati mereka..
Dan aku akan selalu jatuh cinta padamu..


Padamu yang Allah pilih sebagai imamku…
Ku memohon padamu.. Redhalah padaku,
Sungguh Redhahmu adalah Redha Ilahi Rabbi..
Mudahkanlah jalanku ke Syurga-Nya..
Karena bagiku kau adalah kunci Syurgaku..
