-Old Collection-

Tika kita berjanji denganNya
Hakikatnya hati sesuci, seputih sutera
Saat kita lahir ke dunia
Genggaman terlepas, tangis menggegar semua

Tika kita mula melangkah
Hati dicorak mengikut rasa
Tanpa jagaan dan kawalan yang sempurna
Hanyutlah kita

Ingat Allah! Kita teruskan perjalanan
Ikutkan Nafsu! Kita senang dihanyutkan
Berdebat dengan Akal! Kita kan disesatkan
Wahai insan, kembalilah ke pangkal jalan

Tika maghrib menjelang tiba
Yang insaf tida, masih ada
Walau ramai yang terkandas di tengah-tengah
Namun masih ada yang tiada sedar

Insaflah! Di mana janji kita wahai insan?
Tak diketahui jangka masa perjalanan
Tak diketahui apa cara kesudahan
Sedangkan nanti di akhir perjalanan
Kita semua akan bersama dikumpulkan

Bullied

Maka tersebutlah satu ceritera…

A boy was on the journey back to KL from Kerteh via bus (Konsortium, yang warna merah tu, yg ada some busses dua tingkat). It was supposed to reach KL around Subuh time, but the said bus hadn't arrived. Both parents were worried about their son. And even the son didn't know where he was (second time naik bas balik KL sorang-sorang).

Turned out, in Meraga Beris (near Kijal, Terengganu), this boy was ordered to naik bas lain (apekah???) because when he boarded the bus in Kerteh, there was there was this lady (yg tak tau dari mane datang or the fact that she even has a ticket for that particular bus) sat on this boy's place. The sleepy boy who was confused (and amid the mamai-ness) followed the instruction.

Apekah??

At last, the 'extra' bus (which was not even Konsortium) arrived KL at 7.30 a.m. Parents mane yang tak risau anak yang patut tiba pukul 6 sampai 1 ½ hour lambat?

And worse, the boy has a ticket- dah beli awal2, apehal dia yang kena turun?
Just because he’s only a small boy, traveling alone, can be bullied?
Amid the warwar rakyat Malaysia nak tukar mentality ke 1st class mentalilty, masih ade orang yang bersikap macam ni ke??

Alhamdulillah the mother had taken extra bus in the past, so she knew where the bus stops.

Question is, why take extra passengers when you have enough in the bus?
We paid the ticket and that is supposed to include your service.
And why bully a small boy traveling alone? Takut kalau buat dekat adult kena complain? So if this is done to a small kid, the complaint will not get through?

Maybe next time we’ll just take other busses. Senang cerita, kan?

Perumpamaan

It was the last few days in Perth
There were 5 of us in the apartment. Never before the unit seemed so noisy with teases and laughters.
One was cooking and preparing dinner- the 'mom'
2 were teasing and bullying the 'eldest'- the sisters
and one were buying playing with a tabby- 'odd' sister?

And suddenly the 'mom' asked, "Rumah kite ni air cepat habis eh? Semua orang haus, macam unta ke?"

A new perumpamaan? :p

That night, the youngest sister pat the tabby's belly... "Buncit nye... macam elephant!"

Ahh... a new perumpamaan again I guess... Rosak bahasa melayu macam ni...

P/s-
Waiting for flights going home... in approximately 6 hours.
Sayonara Perth... You shall never be forgotten
