Sedar

19 08 2008
Tertundanya pemberian
setelah engkau mengulang-ulang permintaan,
janganlah membuatmu berpatah harapan.

ALLAH menjamin pengabulan doa sesuai
dengan apa yang Dia pilih buatmu,
bukan menurut apa yang engkau pilih sendiri,

dan pada saat yang Dia kehendaki,
bukan pada waktu yang engkau ingini.

****

Ibnu ‘Athaillah al-Sakandari,
kitab al-Hikam.

Dan Dia buat hati kamu resah menhadap dugaannya.Diberikan kamu pilihan yang banyak agar kamu pilih dengan hati dan akal.Diberikan kamu menunggu dan mengharap agar kamu belajar erti kesabaran dan menghargai.Diberikan kamu dugaan bertimpa-timpa agar kamu belajar redha.Dikejutkan kamu sesekali dari lena agar kamu sedar dan percaya. Tiap musibah dan kebaikan yang dikurniakan itu ada sebab musababnya.
Diberikan kamu kesedihan agar kamu belajar untuk cekal.Diberikan kamu kegembiraan agar bertambah sayang kamu padaNya.Diberikan kekesalan agar kamu belajar darinya.
Dan jika yang kamu harap itu seakan jauh dan kabur.Mungkin disimpan itu hingga kamu bersedia agar nikmatnya tak terkata.
Dan jika didatangkan kesedihan bertimpa-timpa..aku kira Dia sayang benar pada kita

“Chin up. Put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. Don’t lick your wounds. Celebrate them. The scars you bear are the signs of a competitor. You’re in a lion fight, Stevens. Just because you didn’t win doesn’t mean you don’t know how to roar.”





Till it happen to you

13 08 2008

Yes, I’m here. It had been good (in my way). Life has been great (in my way). I feel I grown a little. The way I think, the way I act and the way I talk also change. I look at life differently now. Numbness has been such a great companion. And it makes me feel good.

Lots have happen, and lots more are bound to happen for sure. And I am grateful of this chances and opportunities.

I hate to discourage myself for the unfortunate things that happen in my life right now. Self pity won’t bring me anywhere. It won’t put rice in my plate; it certainly won’t cure any diseases.

Despite all the commotion in the country, the road blocked, the dire need for self expression, the oil price hiked, I find myself re-examining my stand. In a little world called me, I find commotion already begin to emerge. The would and would have been, the if and the what if, the now and later, the need and the want. I hate being the bearer of bad news, I hate brushing people off but cruel it may seem, I have to knock some sense into people head and into mine. I would rather not have it than have it and not being happy. Hope they’ll understand.

On other note, I was given ample time to procrastinate, reminiscing good ‘ol time but I am bored to my wits. For once I like being depressed. Being half in love, longing for someone I cannot have, counting the degree of hurt and pain I felt and beating myself up. Being happy have its drawbacks. For once I do not know what to write anymore. Pain and suffering make you write good piece of work.

 

That is why a deaf Beethoven wrote such beautiful Sonata

 

Anyhow, I take half day today. My dad needs another ultrasound. This is his third ultrasound and all three were done at three different hospitals. Nevertheless, we arrive there half past eight and already we become the 7th person in line for ultrasound. Not so bad ah? Well we have to wait approximately 3 hours before his turn. Every single person took about half and hour to finish up their session. And my stomach played rock and rolls songs 3 times including the encore.

 

Two radiologist handle one ultrasound session. Talking about accuracy and second opinion, that was good. They inform you just what they know and leave everything else to the doctor. All we know for now, there enlargement of liver and spleen. And his kidney as diagnose earlier are deteriorating.

 

20th is the next visit to Hospital Ampang. This time I am going to meet up with the hematologist. And this time I hope there going to be details explanation as to what, how and why.

 

And from then onwards, we’ll put in our best effort for him. Insya Allah

 

I’m heading down to O&G and Telco Company for the next few months. Wish me luck in life and work!





Demam

10 08 2008

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, then let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it’d be worth it.Period.





My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive

He’s pale and weak but he still smiles and laughs.

I am scared

I am so scared right now

Unknown sickness is far more terrifying then those with names.

He lost his appetite too.

 

I am angry.

That he have not receive what he should have.

Supply of blood for his body is yet to arrive.

You can no longer do a direct transfusion from family member without going through the process.

They need 1 week for this!!

I am so angry.

 

I am confused.

Occasionally feel lost, tired and stress out

 

But I guess all I can do is to take it one step at a time.

Let’s wait for those bags of precious red liquid to arrive.

 

After all that what we can do for now.





And if this is ever meant to end, then I hope it ends where it began

15 07 2008

I’m writing this because I don’t have much to do while waiting for 530. Well the truth is I still got a paper to write but my heart aches so much that I can’t do anything but stared at blank pages. I know…it is the right thing to do. Auditor has to be objective, independence. I was once given the analogy by one of my client that auditor hold a knife, whatever statement you make will save or kill someone else future or ‘life’.

 

Never mind that…

 

 I am having a rollercoaster of emotion.

 

In one situation I feel that I been pushed out of the door. The more I’m in contact with this person the more my heart break. So why do I still fight my way in? I do not know. Ask my heart. Hope it can hear you because sure enough it’s not hearing me.

 

Another particular someone who’s DNA = 99% matches mine are in trouble right now. And that have completely throw my heart out the window.





Expectation

12 07 2008

Believe it or not. We have sets out expectation for ourselves as early as we knew. We make plan to reach those expectations. As we grow, the expectation doubles. There are other ‘extended’ expectations from mum, dad, aunty, uncle, friends, lover, nemesis. Sometimes when thing turn out not as expected, we are overwhelm with frustration.

 

Aye, frustration will comes more often then we expected, and then that will be the time we learn that we are imperfect person in such an imperfect world. But that does not make us insignificant.

 

We cried, wept and bleed. When expectation fall beyond what we targeted. We can’t always be the best in what ever we wanted. You will fall, tumble .But you wake up, stand and walk right on.

 

 

No one believe their life will turn out just kind of ok

We all think… we all going to be great

The day we start to be “ourselves” we are fill with expectation

Expectation of the things we will do, people we will help, the different we will make

Great expectation of who we will be, where we will go, and then… we get there

 

You got to wonder why we cling to our expectation

Because the expected is just what keeps us steady, standing still, the expected is just the beginning; the unexpected is what changes your life.

 

 

…..well expectations come and go.From one that leads to another

It’s ain’t bad but its ain’t right.

It’s ain’t good but it’s ain’t boring.

 

 

And that is why I wrote nothing so far

…until now

Benteng air mata mereka

13 06 2008

Hari dah makin larut.Esok exam.Yikes!Rasa tak konfident langsung. Tiap kali buat latih tubi asyik fail sahaja. Ada-ada sahaja perkara-perkara baru yang tak jumpa semasa menelaah.Argh!!!profesional paper memang begitu sukar kah? Aku harus redha pada apa jua keputusannya nanti.

Tadi pergi mencari pusat peperiksaan. Jumpa! Lega. Sebab memang tak ade sekelumit ilham pun di mana tempatnya.

Hari ini , tidak ke Ampang Puteri pun melawat dia. Jauh di sudut hati rasa bersalah membiarkan dia sendirian di sana.Tapi alhamdulillah ultrasoundnya tadi positif. Buah pinggangnya masih OK. Syukur ku panjatkan padaNya. SMS kirimannya aku baca dengan gembira.

Semalam pulang dari sana di jam 1 pagi aku sedikit berdebar bila sebiji proton saga wira bersaing dengan keretaku. Aku tidak biasa pulang lewat cuma semalam aku tunggu sehingga drip berisi Calcium Gluconate habis dimasukkan ke badannya sebelum aku beransur pulang.Dia hypocalcaemic pula sekarang.Berbalik kepada cerita proton saga wira tadi. Berdebar teramat. Takut lebih lebih lagi. Mujur sudah dekat dengan tol Eastin yang terang benderang.Akhirnya dia tidak lagi sengaja rapat dengan kereta ku. Sekali lagi alhamdulillah. Mental note untuk tidak pulang terlalu lewat.

Oh ya aku di kampung kurang lebih 5 hari juga. Gembira.Of course. 5 hari di Gerik cuaca sangat aku suka.Mendung dan dingin.Berkabus. Aku menggantikan rutin Baba sekejap menjemput Mama dari sekolah tiap tiap tengahari. Kesempatan itu aku gunakan untuk memanjangkan kaki ke sekolah lama ku juga. Tiap kali aku pandang bangku panjang di kantin sekolah hati aku terusik! Bangku yang sarat dengan rahsia hidup aku 6 tahun di sana. Bangku itu katalis hidup aku.

Indah benar cuaca di kampung tapi resah makin menebal di hati. Baba kurang sihat. Sekali lagi penyakit berkisar dengan darah.Cuma untuk kes baba, masih tidak tahu apa puncanya. Darah merah makin turun,tangan lenguh-lenguh,selera makan tak menentu dan tubuhnya makin kurus. Allah!Dugaan apa pula ini. Aku hanya mampu cekalkan hati dan doakan kesihatannya. Mama risau benar. Aku dan abg chik juga. Abang Nol juga.Mujur ada Abang Chik di rumah boleh juga memandu Baba ke mana-mana. Sudah banyak doktor yang Baba kunjungi , dari klinik biasa ke klinik pakar masih belum di ketahui apa-apa. Lantas Baba juga cuba cara rawatan Islam dari “Pak Ngah”. Salah seorang bekas murid arwah Shiddee, abuya Mama.

Aku kira tahun ini seperti ‘tahun kegelapan’ keluargaku. Banyak benar perkara yang kurang enak menimpa. Mungkin juga tanda Allah sayangkan kami, mahu memberi peringatan pada hamba yang disayangi,mahu menambah pahala atau pun mahu membalas apa juga kesalahan lampau kami.Wallahualam. Apa pun juga aku harapkan yang terbaik untuk semua. Kejadian-kejadian sepanjang tahun ini begitu berbekas di hati dan banyak mengubah diriku. Tentang itu akan aku ceritakan nanti-nanti.

Kata orang memandang ke depan adalah salah satu cara meneruskan kehidupan.Hopes is what keeps us going. Dan itu jugalah yang aku pegang sekarang erat-erat. Biarpun banyak keperitan yang datang aku kira impian yang menyegarkan hidup kita.

Aku benar-benar menunggu hujung tahun ini. Selepas Mama pencen dari tugas mendidik dan sesudah Ramadhan dan Syawal. Aku kira simpananku sudah cukup. Aku mahu ke sebaik baik tempat di dunia ini.Aku mahu berkunjung ke sebaik baik rumah di dunia ini. Aku mahu.Aku teramat-amat mahu. Aku mahu ketemu saudara dekat yang kian jauh juga di sana. Itu impianku sekarang. Tiada lain selain itu.

Usai mennelusuri keadaan keluarga sekarang dan berfikir mengenai penyelesaian sesetengah perkara, aku berbicara tentang itu juga dengan Mama dan Baba.Dan aku juga berpegang pada janjiku pada mereka malam itu. Andai apa yang terjadi pada dia terjadi pada mereka. Aku tidak teragak-agak langsung untuk berhenti kerja. Kerana pada aku perhitungannya amat mudah. Kerja aku boleh ganti dengan apa sahaja pendapatan yang halal di mana-mana jua tapi mereka itu hanya satu sahaja untukku dunia dan di akhirat dan tiada gantinya.

Aku makin sukar mengukir senyum. Kenapa ya?

Dan seseorang mulai hilang dari radar. Kenapa begitu pula?

Aku harus belajar redha dengan kehendak hati yang tidak kesampaian dan impian yang hanya tinggal impian.

Aku harus kekal memegang bentengan air mata mereka yang bertakung agar tidak gugur. Maka kerna itu aku harus kuat.

Ubat paling mujarab

Balik kampung dan semua masalah hilang di tiup angin.

Once again, I can rearrange my thought
