A Letter from "Mom and Dad"...

My child,

When I get old, I hope you understand... 'n have patience with me
In case I break the plate, or spill soup on the table because I’m losing my eyesight,
I hope you don’t yell at me.
Older people are sensitive, always having self pity when you yell.
When my hearing gets worse 'n I can’t
hear what you’re saying, I hope you
don’t call me ‘Deaf!’
Please repeat what you said or write it
down.

I’m sorry, my child.
I’m getting older.
When my knees get weaker, I hope you have the patience to help me get up.
Like how I used to help you while you
were little, learning how to walk. Please bear with me, when I keep
repeating myself like a broken record, I hope you just keep listening to me.

Please don’t make fun of me, or get sick of listening to me.
Do you remember when you were little 'n you wanted a ballon?
You repeated yourself over 'n over until you get what you wanted.
Please also pardon my smell. I smell like an old person.
Please don’t force me to shower.
My body is weak.
Old people get sick easily when they’re
cold. I hope I don’t gross you out.
Do you remember when you were little? I
used to chase you around because you
didn’t want to shower.
I hope you can be patient with me when
I’m always cranky. It’s all part of getting
old. You’ll understand when you’re older.
'n if you have spare time, I hope we can
talk even for a few minutes.
I’m always all by myself all the time, 'n
have no one to talk to.
I know you’re busy with work. Even if you’re not interested in my
stories, please have time for me. Do you remember when you were little? I
used to listen to your stories about your
teddy bear.

When the time comes, 'n I get ill 'n
bedridden, I hope you have the patience
to take care of me. I’m sorry if I accidentally wet the bed or
make a mess.
I hope you have the patience to take
care of me during the last few moments
of my life.
I’m not going to last much longer, anyway.

When the time of my death comes, I
hope you hold my hand 'n give me
strength to face death. 'n don’t worry..
When I finally meet our creator, I will
whisper in his ear to bless you. Because
you loved your Mom 'n Dad.

I still remember! Do you?

"There will be times when you will be in the field (or at the sea shore) without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene (or moment with your beloved one) that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!"

International Cul-tu-ral Day

I just came back from the International Cultural Day in UTeM. I have to tell you I like the backdrop on the stage, it's effortless but symbolized something magnificent; it showed there are many different countries with their unique yet distinct cultures. I wish I can put the picture here. So, roughly, there were 8 different booths all together (if I'm not mistaken) from different countries namely Sudan, Yemen, Palestine, Iraq, Indonesia, Malaysia (nak jugak!), Somaliland and Somalia (not so sure). Yeke? They were all dressed accordingly and decorated their  booths creatively equipped with stuffs like authentic attires, pictures, and traditional accessories. I'm sure they put a lot of effort in this. Not to mention, we were served with their traditional cuisine. I'm sooooo (exaggerating it cos it feels like eating Nasi Beriyani meh) used to the Yemeni's food but this was the very first time I had to taste the Palestine's exotic dish. Well, how do I describe it?

 

See the picture? That's it. I have no idea what that is called. I took the pic from Mr Google and the only difference from what I ate is that they served it with Humus. Humus is fine for me, used to have that quite a few times. Ok, I dunno what leaves are they, tasted it and I thought it's betel. I'm pretty sure, haha. It had this kind of dry but funny taste. Dry. Now what's inside the leaves? Jeng3x. It's a mix of rice and meat. So they said.  Well, this is definitely one of the dishes that I DO mind to try again. Dry, sour, bitter and funny taste. I did try to eat without the leaves but the leaves did not want to leave its taste on the rice. Man, this is real exotic! Completely blew my mind, =p

Well, I've to stop here. This will be continued as I will tell you how I almost cried when listened to Jalal and his friend reciting a poem, I Miss You Yemen...owh how touching, Till then...

:[

 What did I miss? I miss US.

This song is for you

Sayang, I miss you even more after listening to this song!

THE Classic Novel Collector ^ ^

Ok. This, totally, is my current interest. My fav would be Little Women (since I was a kid) and of course, Alice in Wonderland. Trying to finish Pride & Prejudice for the 2nd time but ugh, it's just-so-hard. Plus, my never-ending busy life, and marking them exam papers, yikes! 

I want the luxury of doing nothing but laying down and enjoying my books. Those were the days~ in a galaxy far, far away!

Anyhooo... I will leave all of you with my fav quote from the most well-known Wuthering Height, everyone's old time fav;

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it."

Emily Bronte

p/s: How can you not love Wuthering Height?

saya da boleh senyum!

Pelik kan? Orang yang boleh buat kita happy adalah orang yang dah sakitkan hati kita? Orang yang sama. Orang yang kita sayang! Kenapa macam tu? Ada tak scientific explanation about this?

Tak suka, cakap!

Da 5 hari rase tak best! Macam mane nak pujuk hati ni? Sama je perangai diorang ni, apa yang bezanya? Kalau tiap-tiap hari macam ni, memang makan hati ulam jantung kot. Kerja, kerjalah! Aku, akulah! Asal nak campur aduk semua benda? Layan nak tak nak je. Macam tu ke cara layan orang yang kita sayang?

Da 5 hari jugak rasa sakit hati yang teramat sangat! Macam mane nak pujuk hati ni? Bila bandingkan dulu dan sekarang, jadi isu. So apa isu sekarang ni? Busy? Atau kena terima itulah diri dia yang sebenarnya? Aku tak habis mengenali dia lagi ke?

Da 5 hari menahan air mata ni dari mengalir. Sekarang dah tak boleh tertahan-tahan dah. Kecilnya hati. Peritnya telan. Nak tak nak, kena sabarlah menelan. Sampai dah tak boleh tertelan, baru fikir ape next move.

Genap 5 hari setelah munculnya 'pemunca' masalah sekarang! Tapi bagi dia, 'pemunca' itu bukanla satu isu.

Akulah isunya!

-ve 2 +ve

I don't remember when was the last time I feel like this:

Rasa nak bunuh orang sekarang! But on a second thought! I think I should just let this *stupidos* go and be:

HAPPY

SS = Simply Stupid

Ugh! Bencinya!

How could you miss someone else's bf? Sampai termasuk2 dalam mimpi? Ewww that's sick! Stupid3x!!!

xoxo

Muntah darah la my bf if I keep repeating 'I'm missing you'... Haha...

Deal with it!!!

*sigh*

This feeling I have is not a good one. Ya Allah, why I envy them? Why can't I be so grateful instead of being jealous and wanting what other people have? Why is it so hard for me to be contented of what I have? Why am I always hoping to be showered with things and unpromising materials? And suddenly I come to realize, "when was the last time I'd been pampered like them?" It must be ages ago. I lose count!

I am, still, just a girl!
