After River

Hari ni selesai juga urusan renewal n make passport for kids di Imigresen Shah Alam. Sehari suntuk dgn urusan di sana sampai lunyai badan. Sampai Babang tak sempat hadir SKS7 utk sambutan Maulidur Rasul. Sorry ya Bang... nanti Ummi draft surat minta maaf utk cikgu ya.

Alhamdulilah, all passport collected kecuali Papa Nasir punye nanti ambil next Tuesday. Sbbnya nombor kami dipanggil bila Papa Nasir attend Friday prayer (kaunter terus-menerus). Tiada siaran ulangan utk nombor, maka sy harus ambilkan Papa nombor yg baru. Aduhai, tunggu lagi berjam-jam... tak apalah... dahulukan urusan dgn Pencipta adalah the utmost important.

Lewat ptg, selesai pula urusan print KTVH utk final reading n editing prior submission. Alhamdulillah...

Nak tidur ni sbnrnya sbb penat sgt. Tapi budak 2 ketul ni masih berjaga main games. Sambil bertahan mata monitor mrk, teringat pula pd After River, hu hu...

Dah lama sgt tak baca English fiction sbb nak kena study Malay novel supaya mampu menulis seadanya. It has been years and I missed them. Terambil juga satu buku from shelf one day. The one I bought in Big Bad Wolf 2012.

Walaupun sjk Babang bersekolah ni, jadual hidup sy so much in rush n so much in penat, tp ada juga kebaikannya. It's because I am so much in love with reading, semula. Ms tunggu tamat waktu sekolah Babang, dptlah sy membaca jika tak ada org yg boleh dibawa berbual. Sikit-sikit lama2 sudahlah satu buku dibaca.

And I finished After River a forthnight ago. Slps sungai? Slps sungai ada laut... hu hu.. Buku tulisan Donna Milner pd 2008. 358 pages je. Buku org putih sll kertas dia warna yellowish sikit..  buku2 kita kertasnya cecantik.

Dulu2 pernah ada kawan tanya knp sy suka baca English fiction sdgkan ia cerita ttg bukan kita, bukan cara hidup dan agama kita. Ya, cerita mrk tentu berbeza dgn cerita dan budaya kita. Pd sy, membaca itu jambatan ilmu tak kisah apa material. Yg penting, baik jadi tauladan, buruk jadi sempadan. Kalau yg berttgn dgn agama, kita tentu lebih tahu Islam adalah deen kita. So, ia tak beri sebarang pengaruh negatif as long as kita tahu siapa kita.

Overall saya suka After River. Based of life in 1960's, ia ttg Wards family yg tinggal di mountains area of British Colombia. They have dairy farms, ternak n jual susu lembu segar utk slrh town. Cerita triggered dari Natalie Ward, after so long meninggalkan keluarga, rasa 'bercinta' sgt utk pulang. But she has to. Her mother is very sick and need her much. May be these are the last days of her mother...

Along the way of story is flashback. From the flashback, up current, then flashback... leave reader asking what exactly happen. Sy tak pnh buka last page nk tgk ending bila baca English fiction.

Ia ttg bagaimana kehidupan sebuah keluarga yg bahagia berubah dgn kehadiran seorg pemuda yg sgt handsome, sgt educated, sgt sopan n sgt berhati lembut bernama River @ Richard Adam Jordan. Kalau hero semuanya yg sangat lah kan... hu hu... (tapi ni hero tak boleh pakai punye...)

River sbnrnya graduates yg lari dr perintah berperang (masa tu perang Vietnam) sbb dia suka kedamaian. Dan what River has done to the family years afterward slps bgt byk tragedi demi tragedi yg menimpa keluarga, aib yg menyebabkan mrk dipulau n dipandang serong. Caused Natalie bawa diri. Since then, things never be the same again.

A story of spouse, parental, family, persaudaraan, ambition, education, life struggle n ttg love of course. Kalau tak, buku ssh nk jual hu hu. Sy tertipu bl sangkaan meleset ttg feeling River towards Natalie. Sy sangka both daughter n mother love the same River. Bila River sgt kayu dgn Natalie, I thought he prefers the mother. Unfortunately, he prefers Boyer! Natalie's eldest brother. Yg ini tak boleh jd example. Berdosa! Sesungguhnya sebaik-baik Deen adalah Islam.

Sedih baca After River sbb imagine the life of the family and what they kept inside themselves. Tragedi yg setiap drpd mrk alami tiada sesiapa mahu luahkan. Masing2 kept the pain inside himself/herself. Tujuannya utk jg satu sama lain. Ending... of course kena happy. Tp happy endingnya bkn fairytales...

"This family never fights, never used words as weapons. 
They use silence. And it hurts just as much..."

"Talk to him, Natalie. Don't underestimate his capacity to love. 
And to forgive."

A Girl For Me

Salam Maulidurrasul. Selawat dan salam ke atas Nabi Muhammad, sekalian keluarga dan sahabat handai Baginda. 

Last week while tunggu Babang pilih jajannya, saya terpandang majalah Pa&Ma ni. Dah lama tak baca. Masa pregnant dulu pun baca sesekali je. Tapi kali ni tajuk besar pd cover tu terus beri arahan kat tangan supaya ambil n bayar di kaunter.

Merancang jantina anak. Hmm.... nampaknya sy msh ada keinginan utk cari teman. Depa ni semua men. Papa and his boys. Saya... tak ada kawan. Later, Babang n Didik akan ikut Papa ke masjid, ke padang, ke kolam dan ke banyak lagi tempat lelaki. Saya juga yg terkontang-kanting nanti hu hu...

Walaupun agak khuatir dgn limitasi kesihatan n keupayaan, mcm terasa-rasa ada keinginan yg kuat dlm hati ni. Sy rs mcm nak berusaha utk get 'Rys Areesa Abd Nasir' junior yang real. Sbb tu hari ni bila ada check up lagi di DEMC, saya nekad nak tanya dgn doktor.

DR : Good, thyroid level turun tapi masih tinggi.

DR : Kita maintain dos ubat ya. Next month saya nak tengok lagi.

U   : (Next mth? Haih, balik sebulan sekali pulak dah?)

U   : Doc, err... if that so, do you think I am allowed to con...

        (tertakut pula nak tanya, pandang pada Papa yg diam je)

DR : Conceive? (dgn tenangnya dia)

DR : Nantilah dulu, give it another few months. Boleh?

DR : Kita tengok dulu how your thyroid level respond ya...

DR : Banyak masa lagi... ada rezeki tak ke mana....

Hmm... mcm tak memberangsangkan je jawapan Dr Rahman. Walaupun sy akur, dlm hati ada sikit rasa terkilan. Byk ms lagi? Brp sgtlah ms yg sy ada. Tgh hati berkobar-kobar ni... lagipun sy hanya ada keberanian utk try dlm tahun ni je. Tahun depan confirm in sha Allah sy tak mahu dah.

Tak apalah... sy tahu doktor mengambilkira semua aspek dan risiko. Sy tahu doktor tentu mahukan yg terbaik utk patient mereka. Kalau sy conceive, probability utk thyroid sy get worse tu ada. 

Tapi, tak salah juga baca kekalau harus bersedia kan.. hu hu...

How to get Anak Perempuan

Sperma X bergerak lbh perlahan berbanding sperma Y ttpi jangka hayat lebih panjang iaitu boleh hidup lebih drpd 24 jam. Digalakkan xxx 2-3 hari berselang dlm seminggu sblm tarikh ovulasi utk merendahkan jumlah sperma. Lelaki yg mempunyai jumlah sperma yg rendah lbh cenderung utk dpt anak perempuan.

Ambil mknn mengandungi lemak n berasaskan susu dlm kuantiti yg byk. Digalakkan mkn kekacang n mknn berasid spt limau, nanas, mangga. Amalkan mkn sayur hijau. Better no seafood.

Doa...

U : Adik buat apa tu?

D : Sapu bedak, nanti dah syapu adik jadi cantik lah...

Mcm perangai gegurl dh pulak... tapi awak bukan girl ya Dik...!

Garden Living di Grand Lexis, PD

Planned since last year tapi terbantut sbb tak ada masa n tak cukup duit hu hu. Early of month Pa kata dah buat online booking. Jadinya, we spent our weekend on 19 & 20 Jan. di Port Dickson. PD lagi? PD je lah yg mampu pun. Nak pi jejauh costly, time n energy consuming hu hu... 

Kali ni kami rehat di Grand Lexis. Best thing sbb biliknya attach dgn personal swimming pool. Maka, yg teramat ghairah & riuh-rendah tentulah anak2. Sampai ke mlm berendam. Menggigil pun tak mau naik. Tapi cepat2 suh mereka naik at 10pm, takut sejuk nanti kot demam.

Alhamdulillah, we had a sweet and nice stay in H128, Deluxe Suite Garden Living.  

Deluxe suite ada 2 kingsizes beds, muatlah utk kami ber-5. Facilities di pantry mcm biasa, 

atrnya ada mini freezer, jug kettle n  microwave oven. 

Hmm.. dpt panaskan bekal makaroni.

Private, open sky swimming pool, 4 feet deep, attached to the room, 

senang parents monitor anak2 dr atas katil atau sofa hu hu...

Air kolam mmg sgt dlm utk Didik. Selalu eyed on him. Diapun tak berani turun.

Setakat di tangga pertama dan kedua jakuzi je hu hu... 

Kids played safe n rescue. Babang jadi mangsa lemas lah kekunun, AB tarik ke tepi, Didik stand by nak bagi bantuan CPR. Heh, gigi pun belum gosok tu!

Grand Lexis was officially launched on 01/11/2011 by MB N9. Rasa mcm bdn sy ringan sikit lps swimming, hu hu... tak jadilah exercise cyling.
Sy nak pi exercise swimming le hu hu... mengada-ngada!

Jalan2 di sekitar, cam tak de apa. Unlike Avillion yg interesting. Ini atr Water Pool Villa. Cantik...

Nak pi tengok external swimming pool pun bebudak ni tak mahu, merengek nak balik bilik, nak mandi di swimming pool sendiri. Adoila..

After sarapan various menu, AB kata dia dh tak larat jalan sbb makan berpinggan2 roasted chicken. Babang Didik cornflakes je la. AB requested for buggy sending us back to H128.

Salahudin Al-Ayubi

Papa Nasir has done with his Leadership's assignment. Saya jadi 'pembantu penyelidikan' dia hu hu.. tukang cari material. Learned a lot from this assignment. Even I dislike this feeling, still it reminded me of Palestine. Islam is indeed the way of life. Allah is always there for us... semoga ada sinar untuk Palestin bila Dia mengkehendaki dan mengizinkannya.

"He was the son of the Kurdish Chief Najmuddin Ayub, the ruler of Tikrit, Iraq. His personal name was Yusuf. He was called Salah-ad-Din for a desciptive epithet, meaning ‘Righteousness of the Faith”.

However, he was better known as Saladin in the Western. Salahudin Al-Ayubi was born in the castle of Tikrit, Iraq in 532 AH (1137-1138 CE) and completed his education in Damsyik.

He was a Kurdish Muslim, who became the first Sultan of Egypt and Syria and he was the one who founded the Ayyubin Dynasty. He was also a major Muslim political and military leader. He is best known for leading the Muslim armies during the Crusades and recapturing Jerusalem.

He led Muslim opposition to the Franks and other European Crusaders in the Levant. At the height of his power the Ayyubi Dynasty which he founded, his sultanate included Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Iraq, Hejaz, Yemen, and parts of North Africa. He died just after dawn on 27 Safar 589 Ah (4 March 1193 CE) in Damascus, Syria at the age of 55. "
